Inside Out 2 was Okay
Spoilers ahead lol

Okay so like. As a film it was fine, it was good. The point got across, it balanced its funny moments and its sad moments very well. It just didnt hit me quite as hard as I'm sure it will a lot of other people, because Anxiety isnt something that hit me hard in some scarce scenarios or something that came and hit hard during puberty but chilled out after that. Its been an integral part of my person since I was INCREDIBLY young. The thought processes that we see Riley go through after gaining anxiety as an emotion at 13 years old is such a perfect representation of what I went though at 5.
While I was watching the film, i had a vastly different reaction to it than my sister and mother. My mother simply didnt understand anxiety. Didn't really understand why she was there, what her motives were, or why she was taking over like she was. I had to explain most of it to her, interpreting what anxiety was thinking and how it functioned. My sister turned to me and said "I want to punt Anxiety" because of the way anxiety made Riley do bad things and feel so disproportionately bad about herself. I had to explain that anxiety was never malicious, she had fully good intentions. That its entirely accurate to how anxiety really thinks.
As an example, a key part of the film is Riley's beliefs, her sense of self. At the beginning of the film Riley's sense of self was "I am a good person." and this is made up of threads like "Im a good friend." "I'm good at hockey" ect. As Anxiety took over, threads like "If I'm cool, I will have friends" and "If I'm good at hockey, I will be cool" started appearing. When there were enough of these threads, the sense of self became "I'm not good enough." I was the only one watching who wasnt shocked or sad to see the result. Because that's what anxiety is, with anxiety you yourself are never enough, its always dependent on some task being completed or on someone else's perception of you. It was never Anxiety's INTENTION for Riley to not think she was enough, that wasnt her desired end goal, its just inevitably how you feel if your entire self image is dependent on how others think of you or how well you complete arbitrary tasks.
I think the ending could have been much more impactful, the way Joy reached out to Anxiety was a little strange to me. I liked how Anxiety wasnt tangible during the anxiety attack, I thought it would continue with anxiety needing to be talked down and reassured, and how Joy needed to accept her as a part of Riley's life, how there was no way to "stop" Anxiety, only a way to live alongside her. But instead, Joy ended up just telling Anxiety "you need to let her go" and "you dont get to choose who Riley is" which felt kinda like pinning the current events on Anxiety. Sure it made joy realize that Riley was an entire person with flaws too, that she cant "choose" who Riley is by moving all the bad memories to the back of her mind. But idk it just felt like the wrong way to do things. Anxiety is a part of the human experience, worry and overthinking are things you really just need to live with, in any concentration. She is there to protect Riley, like the rest of them, just if she does it too much it leads to a bad result.

I like several things about your art & lore so a simple note doesn't do it justice i feel, i just hope tumblr formates it somewhat okay via ask lol. 1. How absolute soft and round you draw, you hardly see any edges or hard corners and i am at this point fully convinced you do this on purpose, even when it comes to Vyrm's sidespikes or any claws.
2. Being able to make all characters easy to recognize yet give each your spin, even if one were to fully color any character in your art black, you can still say whats going on and who is who. 3. Expand on "blank slates", while we got all these Lore tablets by PK, we hardly know him as official, public text written as the King do not tell how he was in Person, and I for myself have adopted a few things as my HC on how your Vyrm acts in that regard, even more with his relationship with WL. Same goes for Grimm, the aspect of an eternal, ageless god seeking a quiet life after tasting all the world had to offer is very, very nice.
4. Not restricting yourself to what the game shows us, that might be just Take 2. but i feel like this should be mentioned as well, you dont just say "everyone is a bug" you go with reptiles, mammals, bugs, birds, literally everything imagineable to fit your vision of characters, especially your design of Lurien shows that being both bug & bird inspired. 5. Also Dinosaurs. Your Baryonix picture is still one of my faves, not just because Baryonix have become one of my fave dinos thanks to ARK: Survival Evolved but in general, still close to one of the more accurate renders we have while also adding your own charm, love the light blue "crest" (not sure how to call it) you added on the head especially, not just stylish but a possible feature to attract mates. You make dinosaurs look soft but not forget they were dangerous beasts.
Oh gosh this is a long one, I really appreciate this! I'll try responding to each one.
1. It is on purpose, yes! Funnily enough, it's a complete contrast to my old artstyle from over a year ago. Using Vyrm's side spikes as an example, they used to be almost perfect sharp triangles. These days I try to make the shapes in my art very round and soft, so I'm really glad this is something you like!
2. Thank you, I'm glad you think so! It's something I've been a little conflicted about sometimes. On one hand, I worry that I changed them so much they might not register as the characters they're based on. On the other, I want to draw them like this, that personal touch helps me connect to them on a much closer level, and considering Grimm and Vyrm in particular are my comfort characters, I'm trying to get rid of that doubt so I can fully embrace it. Hearing that they're still recognizable really does help!
3. Ahh I'm so happy to hear you adapted some of my interpretations into your own headcanons! It's really flattering to know that my silly rambles might have impacted how others view the original counterparts/their own interpretations.
4. Thank you! I'd just be repeating what I said in the second one, but again, it's very reassuring that people are open to my interpretations!
5. Ooooh I didn't expect this one hahaha. I'm glad you liked it! Redesigning the Jurassic World Baryonyx used to be one of my favorite things, I'm not the biggest fan of the movie design and I always found it fun to tweak it in subtle (and less subtle) ways to make it work better as the animal it's supposed to represent. And yes, I believe crest is the correct term here, it's something the movie design didn't include but I think it gives Baryonyx a lot of personality.
Again, thank you so much for your kind words!

A/NOTE :: I dont have anxiety!! so these interpretations most likely won't be the most of accurate but I try my hardest. my best friend has anxiety so i gauged vaguely what i remember from her own experiences. if something is completely in accurate and needs tweaking please let me not kindly so i can edit it :)

𝐻𝐸𝒜𝒟𝒞𝒜𝒩𝒪𝒩𝒮
I feel like mello is very protective of you, he knows that you can get overwhelmed and that is the thought that's always processing in his mind, especially if you two aren't together at that moment. He has quite the sharp eye for when he can feel your anxiety rises and he takes steps to remove you from the situation, or he distracts you. He knows how dangerous the mafia world can be and does everything in his power to ensure your safety. This includes training you in self-defense and always keeping an eye on you during missions.
Maybe even giving you a special item from his belongings to help you think of hm when you feel if your anxiety is rising, because he knows that his presence can calm you down. One of his leather jackets he would give you because the faint smell of his cologne soothes you. Mello would also give you one of his necklaces, rosary chains or something like that, he knows you can get fidgety so they can help with the stimulation. It also leaves a reminder that he’s always with you even if he isn’t present :)
Mello has a soft spot for you. When you're feeling overwhelmed, he’s the one to find a quiet place where you can take a breather. He'll even let you borrow his leather jacket because he knows it makes you feel secure.
Mello defiantly isn’t the best with words but he pulls through with showing that he cares about you through his actions. Bringing you your favourite snacks and surprising you with small gifts that he will know you’ll like.
I feel like he would educate himself a little bit about anxiety, researches and reads about it because he wants to know about what you go through, not wanting to make it worse (even though he's got a pretty... interesting temper)
He makes sure you shared living space is a sanctuary for you. It’s a place where you can unwind, filled with things that brings you comfort and peace.
Despite having a temper and having a slight impatience, I feel that Mello is incredibly patient with you. He would never push you to do something she's uncomfortable, he gives you all the time you need to make sure you will feel okay.
Mello offers physical comfort, whether it’s holding your hand, wrapping an arm around your shoulders, or simply sitting close by. His presence alone is often enough to help calm your nerves.
Mello is understanding about your anxiety. He might not show it openly, but he makes small gestures to comfort you if you two aren't alone, like holding your hand under the table during tense meetings or giving you reassuring looks.
He knows that your anxiety can keep you up at night, so he often stays up with you, talking about anything and everything to distract you from your worries. These late-night conversations deepen your bond and make you feel closer to him.
Even though Mello understands your anxiety to a certain extent, he encourages you to step out your comfort zone, wanting you to grow slowly. If you get uncomfortable, he will help you go through it and listen to you, if you want to stop, you will stop.
When you have anxiety attacks, Mello knows how to calm you down. He’s learned techniques to help you breathe and refocus, and he never leaves your side until you're feeling better.
In dangerous situations, Mello is even more vigilant of your well-being. He often positions himself between you and any potential threat, using his tactical skills to ensure you're out of harm's way.
You and Mello have a special understanding between you. There are things he tells you that he wouldn’t share with anyone else, and you do the same. This mutual trust helps to alleviate your anxiety, knowing you have someone who understands you deeply.
Mello's loyalty to you is unwavering. In the world of the mafia, you are his anchor, and he makes sure you know that you're never alone. His dedication to you provides a sense of stability, easing your anxiety. And you being by his side gives him the same feeling, he loves to know that he is cared about.
Tumblr media
𝒮𝒞𝐸𝒩𝒜𝑅𝐼𝒪 / 𝒟𝑅𝒜𝐵𝐵𝐿𝐸
The hum of tension vibrated through the darkened room, something like anxiety seeping into you from the walls and unable to be kept back at the headquarters of the mafia.
Hard-core criminals, Mafia heads, lined the long table, each discussing the next move in their underground operations. You sat beside Mello as he crossed his arms; your heart was pounding against your chest.
Mello's eyes flickered onto yours; his sharp blue eyes caught the minute, very discreet signs of unease. His hand dipped under the table, his fingers finding yours and fitting into a soft squeeze. So slight a touch, but it put something to rest in your core. You squeezed back, feeling so much gratitude toward that silent understanding he held for you.
As the meeting went on and on, concentrating became much more difficult. It seemed like the room closed in around you with all the voices babbling around you until they started sounding like an indistinguishable cacophony of noise. Your breathing was shallow, and you felt that terribly familiar tightening of anxiety's grip around your chest.
Mello had noticed the change in you in an instant. His standing, which caught the attention of everyone else in the room, was silent.
"Take a break," he said; his tone brooked no argument. "I will finish off the rest of this meeting."
You didn't want to leave in front of the others looking weak, but Mello's gaze was unwavering. You rose reluctantly and followed him out of the room.
He then led you through several dark corridors until you came to a rather small and secluded room. One of his favorite hideaways: a place where he could think without being disrupted by anyone. He shut the door behind you, closing out the clamor of headquarters.
"Breathe," he whispered, and gestured toward a worn leather couch. I collapsed onto it, closed my eyes, and began to breathe. Mello settled beside me, a comforting anchor in the storm of your emotions.
The minutes ticked on and on until, finally, your breathing started to even out. That tightness in your chest began to drain away, slowly substituted by the comforting rhythm of Mello's breathing next to you. You opened your eyes to find him gazing at you with a fuzzy expression of worry.
"Better?" he asked.
You nodded, the corner of your mouth ticking up just a little bit. "Thanks, Mello.".
He shrugged, but obvious relief swam in his eyes. "You don't need to thank me, I got your back."
For one moment, there was silence—a rare peaceful pause in your hectic lives. You leaned against him and drew comfort from his strength. Mello wrapped a arm around your shoulders, pulling you closer in.
"You're a lot stronger than you think," he said, his voice low, his lips brushing against your hair. "Don't let this place get to you."
You nodded, knowing that he was right. "I know. It's just hard sometimes."
"I get it," he said again. "But you're not alone. We're in this together."
You raised your gaze to his, taking comfort in his steady regard. "You're right. We make a pretty good team, don't we?
"The best," he added. "Now, let's get back out there and show them what we're made of."

Another fun ask about Ei that is not at ALL related to what I'm writing why would you think that?
So we know the extra eyes and arms come out when Ei isn't perfectly in sync. Does that mean one twin controls one set of eyes and the other controls the second set? Would that be super disorienting or does their brain have some sort of filter that helps them parse having two independent fields of vision? :)
Oooooough that is a pretty good question.
I'm gonna say that most of the time, Ei doesn't have an issue with the extra arms and eyes. As long as everything is working right in that funky brain of his, everything is muscle memory and instinct. Think of it like Ingo and Emmet are so blended together that it's impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins.
But if we are talking bad times where Emmet and Ingo are out of sync and very clearly distinct from each other, then processing things gets hard. Both halves of Ei aren't communicating anymore and that is verrry no bueno. And that's when you get the kind of "you play mouse i play keyboard" shenanigans. maybe Emmet looks at something but Ingo hasn't noticed it even though he can technically see it too. Maybe they both reach for something and they don't realize that the other arm is in the way. Maybe they trip because their legs got two conflicting messages at once.
As far as who controls what, that's a lot but I can try to make it concise. The top eyes are more generally Emmet's with the bottom eyes being more Ingo's. The top arms correspond to which one is the twins' dominant hands, so top left is more likely to be Emmet and top right is more likely to be Ingo. The bottom ones are the opposite, those are the non-dominant ones.

Part 1
Disclaimer: This post is in favor of my ship, Elriel. No hate, just an opinion. This is what makes sense to me. If this isn't your cup of tea, and it came up on your feed, no worries just skip please. 
If you look at it this way:
If the series were to officially end at ACOWAR then that would mean that there would be no need to add any more books due to the majority of the plot being resolved. If there were slight questions or plot holes that were left open, we as readers can basically create our own conclusion based of where these characters and their stories were left off at. That’s the beauty of being a reader, being able to use our imagination to extend the stories based on canon information to infer or even speculate what happened to those beloved characters of ours.
If its easy to answer these questions, fill these plot holes and resolve any issues within that story, then there would be no need for any additional books, and lets say there were questions that were pressing but not complicated to answer, a simple extra book could be added to resolve that like ACOFAS. ACOFAS could’ve concluded everything. She could’ve also showed Feyre or whoever freeing Vassa and then created a whole spin off on Vassa and her adventures including the plot of her defeating her captor Koschei while also dealing with the queens and humans basically introducing us to a whole new world and continent with new fae/fae territories (like chaol introduced in his book from ToG). Her LI would most likely be Jurian because Lucien would have ended up with Elain which we know because she resolved that in ACOFAS.
BUT
That’s not at all what happened. Things were not answered/resolved during ACOFAS.
The author which in this case is SJM knew that whatever obvious inferences/speculation we the fandom would have is not the accurate ending she had for these characters. So she decided to introduce far more books into the series as standalones but, still part of the overarching plot to truly get the full scope of what she has in store for these characters. Why make additional books based on the obvious ?  She’s a writer, she knows the importance of creating mystery or writing plot twists that we either didn’t or decided not to realize or even accept. So ACOFAS and even ACOWAR wasn’t there to answer last minute questions, to show us that our favorite ships did end up together, no it was there to be used to set up future stories like SJM said and be as close as can be as opposite of obvious.
At the End of ACOWAR we have :
Nesta
-THAT Nessian moment 🥰  (& Nessian moments in general in ACOWAR)
We can infer based on where those characters were left off that :
-They would end up together eventually.  I mean come on, Cass’s line *chef’s kiss*.
BUT what people forget is that was also her breaking point (trauma) 
-We didn’t know how her trauma would affect her, her life and loved ones, & how she’d heal Or what were even her powers. These questions were built up throughout all of ACOWAR
So what did SJM do?
-She wrote the answers to those questions in ACOSF while also resolving questions about Nessian’s status especially since Nesta first had to start healing to let herself be loved.
The evidence ? The set up to gain support to find these answers ? Its in ACOFAS
-Nesta’s drinking, isolation, rage, fear, loneliness and self hate
-Nesta’s avoidance of her sisters, the IC and Cassian
-Cassian’s persistence, confusion. Feeling helpless.
Same thing can be seen for Elain
At the end of ACOWAR
Elain
-Civilness between E and L.  She seems more at peach and want to plan gardens/rebuild
We can infer
-Elain talked to Lucien so she forgave him or is on track to forgive him. From this we can assume the possibility of Elucien being endgame.
Elain also must be healed because she smiled and wants to help rebuild. So that all equals acceptance of her powers (on occasionally seeing things and that it, that’s her power), her new life and bond
BUT what we forget is the iconic Elriel moments (Hybern camp & truth teller connection), Elain’s world/future going up in flames, the consequences/trauma of having been gifted these powers
-We don’t know the full scope of her powers, why the cauldron adores her, how she feels, why were we given blooming moments between Elriel 
So again what will SJM probably do?
-Set Elriel to be endgame. Cause civility/friendship/forgiveness/CLOSURE between Elain and Lucien. Get In depth about her powers, her trauma and how it has affected the life she thought she would have. Have her come into her role in the NC and have self growth. 
The evidence? Its in ACOFAS & ACOSF
-Elain’s anger and desperation to have a choice, to have her own agency
-Elain’s avoidance, tolerance, discomfort of Lucien ( she wilts and regresses)
-Elain’s push to contribute more and firmly declare she’s a member of the NC
-Elriel’s tension & build up ( glances, smiles, blushing, gifts, humor, awareness, longing, protectiveness, attraction, actively trying to distract themselves, etc I could go on and on)
-Confirmation of Elain’s power still existing. Her whereabouts: where is Elain when the IC are facing obstacles?
-Her visions still to happen. The fourth dead trove needs to be found: it makes sense that it would be found by Elain (& Az) ( the crown: Braiylln, the harp & mask: Nesta, the fourth trove: Elain)
*If there are 3 cauldron made and Braiylln found one (& is now dead), Nesta found 2 but couldn't get a good read of the fourth, that means it'll be up to Elain & Azriel because they are basically the only two in the IC who closely work with shadows and even mist. Maybe Nuala and Cerridwen would also join in searching which id love.
Now let’s ignore the evidence.
From that moment at the end of ACOWAR again: 1) we see Elain who seems better and 2)we have Elain and Lucien who seem to be in a civil place 
So we assume she’s healed or on track, and her relationship with Lucien is looking up. So why would SJM write a whole standalone on the obvious?
If she’s healed and okay, if she and Lucien will be a sailing ship why be so secretive and unclear on Elain’s story, on who she ends up with?
Nessian was so clear, there was no REAL doubt that they would not end up together despite the obstacles between them, two of them being her rage and trauma. But Nessian would be and are endgame period. All the other “prospects” were just for angst, development and humor. Not real threats.
She wrote Nesta’s story because the worry and question wasn’t on Nessian’s validity, she established their validity and their romance when Nesta prepared to die with Cassian, when Cassian promised to find more time with her, when Nesta called for Cassian, when Nesta Wass worried for Cassian, when Nesta would constantly pay attention to him without realizing it (his wings) when Cassian ran after her during solstice, when Cassian bought her a gift etc. The worry and questions were ALWAYS on and about Nesta’s role, powers, and trauma because they were the influencing factor that affected everyone’s future, Nesta’s life/health and Nessian’s ability to finally able to come together.
If Elucien were endgame we as a fandom would know without a doubt that they are. There would be many more moments of ooh’s and hmmm’s and less mystery and confusion on their validity. There would be far more angst and these characters would have be seen more often together (seeking each other out, but Elain never does) or at least have them have more than one scene of mutual civilness where they dont talk awkwardly, and have a real conversation not one that seems forced, especially by Feyre. Even with the obstacles between them and their distance (because of the obvious elephant in the room) we should have scenes that showcases clear interest between them but we don’t. There is only one true scene where we have that and its at the end of ACOWAR, Im not blind i could see where people might interpret it as Elucien confirmation and who knows maybe I'm wrong and it is but, I read that differently. That to me was confirmation that a friendship between them is possible. Something completely platonic but just as sweet in a different way. That scene to me wasn’t charged it was not even a slow burn or even a spark it was healing and the foreshadowing of a possible friendship.
ALSO:
*Possible ToG spoiler below*
I don’t think it’s too far fetched to assume that Vassien is a thing. And in all honestly I also don’t think its too far fetched to have Lucien (& Vassa) have their own book like Chaol (& Yrene) did. Chaol was an important/original main character from the very beginning of the series who ended up doing grave mistakes. He found himself lost in life to later finding himself gaining a new purpose outlook & perspective when he left the continent to only meet his new LI Yrene freaking Towers who SERIOUSLY changed the whole game ( I freaking love her) and was extremely valuable to winning that war. This is so similar to Lucien’s story so far and Vassa (the firebird) who I expect to resemble Yrene in value and vitalness  BUT it is important to state that Lucien is nothing like Chaol and is far more SUPERIOR. So No this is not me saying Lucien is like Chaol. This is just me seeing the resemblance in their journeys so far, which might be due to SJM possibly reusing the same template on purpose.

some thoughts (that could be totally wrong) regarding pb’s confusing “feelings” around finn and too young. like i was thinking about the episode the suitor. she has a ton of suitors waiting on her (who are mostly candy people i think?) and she doesn’t really take any of them all that seriously—like dealing with candy people in general she is used to being “above” them and used to being admired. early on i imagine she kind of sees Finn just a bit above status of average candy kingdom citizen, so of course she won’t take him seriously. like she really doesn’t have many other friends, i don’t think she knows how to really deal with people closer to her level for the most part
and then there is the overbearing and “helpful” side of PB. she wants her citizens to be happy and she wants to be revered by others by helping them. at the end of the suitor, she says braco will never be happy without her (which i’m not so sure about that—could probably dive a lot more into this) and so she builds him a robot version of herself. she is recognizing there is a type of love she can’t give him and i imagine with Finn it’s like taht too. maybe being younger she thought she could at least make him happy and regardless she would have a fun time. especially again if she doesn’t see his feelings as all that serious, it’s not a huge deal. and in her tendency to decide what is best for someone, she definitely is missing out how much that would toy with his feelings since she didn’t feel the same
the other part of too young I think is just that PB never really got to be a kid. She’s always taken on lots of responsibility and tried to build her kingdom. Being young was a break from it all, one she knew would never last but she let herself have fun for just a little bit. and regardless of her actual feelings about Finn at “13”, she definitely did get to have a lot of fun with him. and it’s nice to see later in like pajama war that they can still have this fun together even at separate ages and without any confusing feelings.
i wrote more than i intended and no idea if this is coherent or correct, especially since i’ve like just now gotten into adventure time but still i enjoy character and relationship analyses haha
What the fuck? How is this ask so long???? Why are you able to circumvent tumblr ask rules? Did they lift restrictions?
Anyway, nono, I totally get you.
I really like your analysis. I can't say for sure whether it's accurate to Fubblegum, though on reflection I think this might be the interpretation the crew wanted us to take, but I have some other thoughts I wanted to share.
In the essay I have saved but not published about "compulsory heterosexuality" in AT, I actually wrote a very long section on The Suitor, because it is the series DIRECTLY ADDRESSING the damaging implications of this, "compulsory heterosexuality" being the expectation that a boy will get together with a girl and vice versa and that if youre single or in a gay relationship it means you're "not whole".
Braco himself has absolutely no reason to want to date Pb other than the expectation that being left on him by his ancestors. He has no care for her feelings on the matter, and he hasnt even DEVELOPED his own thoughts. Braco resorts to increasingly self-harmful behaviour in misguided attempts to win her heart, and he even agrees to a love spell with hopes of removing her *consent* on the matter of loving him (successfully, it seems).
Peppermint butler only selected Braco for this Suitor business in the first place because he and the gumball guardians agreed giving her a boyfriend would be the best way to "fix" the Princess's self-isolation and rising mental health problems.... yeeeaaaaaaah, I probably dont need to say more about how misguided and completely without any understanding this is.
Anyway she ends up feeling really bad she cant give Braco what he desperately wants, and she turns the project she spent all this time on into a robotic clone of herself who CAN do these things, have feelings for Braco, develop happy normal relationships. An ingenuine, "fixed" version of herself to fulfil his fantasies.
But because of this, Braco learns absolutely nothing about self respect, and Pb continues to further violate her own self respect for other people who really should leave her alone. Her issues are not addressed in the *slightest* and this entire episode just made things worse for her.
The idea of "fixing" her, not just her "fixing" others, comes up again in season 10. Gumbald makes Mr Creampuff and the dum-dum serum with the intention of locking Bonnie in a state of stupidity wherein she isn't intelligent enough to worry about things, and runs off with the creampuff. He knows that she's a sad and lonely kid, and says "Don't run away from happiness! I'm going to FIX you! And then I'll fix that snivelling brat Neddy too." It's the threat on Neddy that angers her into taking action.
I think my point here is that you suggesting she flirted with Finn to "make him happy" (which im not sure fully applies to Too Young wherein she seemed genuine relieved to act like a kid and be close to him) reminds me of the other times in the series shes tried to make people "happy" no matter how much damage it does to them or to herself. And how she had all this pressure from a million sources to date boys because it would "fix" her, or it woukd make them happy, while nobody truly connected to her or tried to understand her. So it would be a very wounding blow when Finn suddenly tries simping for her in season 5 when she was deeply hoping he might be able to act as a supportive friend. She's very happy in The Pajama War when he starts speaking to her like a fellow grown up.

Okay, sorry for sending so many asks, posts, reblogs, submissions and stuff lately.  I have been more active on tumblr lately, esp. for Gravity Falls, TAU, and Transcendence stuff lately.  Which I like in general, but with the TAUathon and the Transcendence zine stuff going on, both of which I have been busy with, and have been going on more lately  But yeah, I have fics I have been working on for both and they are almost done. 
They have a lot of references to other fics and head canons I have read.  Im also trying to research and make sure the lore and TAU is as correct and good as possible, so besides them being long, and me trying to make them as good as possible, the research is taking me awhile and stuff.  Anyways, for one of the fics, I want to clarify something, I want to make sure Im sticking to the canon or at lease the Squish as much possible, at least with these 2 fics.  Anyways, for the TAUathon fic Im almost done with, I want to ask this question, before I finish it, in case, however you answer makes me need to change things in the fic. 
I dont need to ask much questions for the TAU zine fic Im working on (which I hope they are still taking.  I did said I would be submitting something, but they didnt say any kind of due date, at least the last time I work.  I havent checked tumblr a lot until recently since I have been busy working on that TAU zine fic and the TAUathon fic, so yeah I have been busy) since Im pretty sure everything is right in it, and because Im pretty sure I cant tell and show much have a zine thing/fic (Im not completely sure on that, since this my 1st time entering a zine, or doing much zine things, though Im pretty sure, so yeah). 
Anyways, my question for the TAUathon fic I am working and I think is just an interesting question in general is how would Alcor’s (near) Omniscience would work with Gods?  I know in the TAU verse, Gods are more like Guardians of their Domain usually, and are usually less powerful than Angels and Demons, probably esp. the higher rank demons and angels.  Though, I bet there is probably some expectations with that too, esp. with more old/ancient, wise, and experienced Gods, but usually Gods are in TAU.  Gods remind a bit of Genius Loci (which I love too, I love Genius Loci stuff, I would love to read more on that.  I esp. love the Hank, Alcor Genius Loci stuff esp. in Portland, Gravity Falls, and some I have seen with LA, because those places are just great settings, esp. for mundane and prenatural stuff and coexisting. 
Gods remind me a bit of Genius Loci both protectors/guardians of their domain in a lot of ways (with Gods usually have having some stuff that shows who and what they are a God of and Genius Loci being basically literal personifications of the place), but probably a lot stronger and in most cases older, maybe not always though.  Anyways, back more on topic, how do you think Alcor’s (near) Omniscience, and probably others’ omniscience as well would work on Gods. 
I know Demons with other Demons its possible they might find out stuff about, or around the other demons, or the omniscience and the user might do works arounds to find out stuff, basically it can be very on the fritz, staticy, or/& barely working to not working at really.  I know demons usually cant read the others’ minds.  And Im basically do the same things with Gods, but both a lesser and more extent.  While Alcor’s omniscience is definitely on the fritz and kinda disjointed with the flow of words and information, it is probably giving him more information than he would be able to find out about demons right away, though sometimes if he pushes himself to find out more it causes bad physical stuff too, though the human form Alcor is right now, is not helping that, but basically pushing yourself can be bad with how Im writing that fic. 
And another more thing when it comes to trying to get read on Gods, esp. this particular Old God with his omniscience is that it is even harder to read their minds and get into their mindscapes maybe then even other demons (would omniscience with Angels work a bit similar to demons and Gods, or just completely differently now that I think about it?), and you would have to read and use aura and logical deductions a lot more maybe.  The reason why I think that, is because of the God Eye item helping against omniscient beings, though maybe whatever they do to turn an actual God Eye (I think its an actual God’s Eye) into an item/talisman maybe makes that stronger, I can see that.  Again, I know other people maybe different interpretations on how well or not well Omniscience and Alcor’s Omniscience will work against others.  Like I think I know pretty well on how well it works against (other) demons, but Im less sure about Angels and Gods. 
So if maybe you can tell your opinion and what you think that would be cool, esp. on the Gods stuff, because that is fic Im writing for TAU now.  And if think my ideas that I have been using in my TAU Gods fic makes sense when it comes to Omniscience and Alcor’s omniscience with them and also their own omniscience against other beings like gods, demons, angels, etc.  I think what Im doing in my fic with those ideas and stuff makes enough sense, but I would love to hear some of your thoughts if possible. 
If you dont know everything (yet) thats fine, Im just curious.  And Im also sure other people might come with really good TAU Gods (and even more Angels) lore, head canons, and stuff.  If you cant answer soon that is fine.  If I finish the fic before you answer, I might make another (updated) version with any information you tell me someday, till then I hope my fic is good enough representation of the kind stuff im asking about and accurate enough.  Ever seeing that Mother Gaia Prompt, been wanting more Gods and Old Gods in TAU, so Im making one (and maybe even more later) myself.  Also, sorry about long this was, I ended talking more than just the omniscience thing, haha.
----
Glad to see your enthusiasm! Sorry this took a little bit to answer; we’re aware that you’ve posted your TAU fic already. No worries, though; you’re pretty much spot on with the long and short of it, which is this: Alcor’s Omniscience may not be 100% reliable at all times.
In many works and headcanons in TAU, this ability of his seems to work a little more like a cosmic google search than anything. He often has to know what he wants to know about in the first place, and then be able to give it a moment of thought. Now, once he does so, any and all information that may be available to him is instantly downloaded and understood, as it were. That being said, sometimes the sources - or the subjects - of that information have enough power to put up blocks of some sort (for the most powerful, most exclusive example in this AU, consider True Names - no being, however omniscient, can simply reach into this well of knowledge and draw out the True Name of another being). Of creatures and beings with this amount of power, other demons would be some, and it’s very reasonable to assume that angels and even gods would be others. In theory, perhaps one with enough power could overwhelm the blocks around one with very little, but I’m not sure if that’s been explored as a concept.
So in short, I’m pretty sure you’ve got it! Have fun writing those Old Gods and Conceptual Deities!

everyone and their dog is doing it and everyone is absolutely allowed to share their opinions so i want a turn but first let me clarify:
hello im yase, been around since 1.0. I am of turkish and nogai descent and i can speak fluently in tatar, turkish but my english doesn’t hold 100% so i will be all over the place.
Unfortunately this will all be word of mouth and may be taken as vague posting, but I have experienced issues since the release of 4.0 and would like to give my opinions. I want to let this all off my chest this is just a huge vent basically so i guarantee my english will be terrible.
the most important point: NEVER EVER SPEAK FOR ANOTHER CULTURE. NEVER EVER SPEAK ABOUT A CULTURE YOU DON’T KNOW. YOU HAVE SPREAD FALSE INFORMATION AND I AM SO HURT.
another point is ITS A VIDEO GAME GUYS (does not apply to everything but some people really need to take a step back because people are concerned.)
Here’s the hot topic I’ll talk of first: garleans. I personally do not play one as I prefer to play characters that would never be involved in a sense with the political agenda because in real life im too stupid to comprehend anything like that so i wouldn’t even know how my character would behave with the hot topics. I really do think people need to take a step back and see that everyone who is putting in their input is making solid points but personally I would never compare them to nazi germany though I see why people are generalising. I always saw it as tsardom of russia with the use of roman influence as well, something obvious in naming conventions and the way the ranks/monarchy(?) works but it’s not so clear what the main influences of most places in this game if you have a look at the bigger picture. Without like full on spoiling, its weird to have this view to me with the knowledge that ascians are behind this. Are you implying anyone who plays or was influenced by ascians is also under this umbrella? 
Also why THE HELL WOULD YOU TAG SOMETHING KNOWING IT WOULD GET A LOT OF TRACTION AND RESPONSE THEN BE LIKE “you guys misunderstood, I was expressing my feelings” lol no. “ I don’t understand where this is coming from, and at this point, I don’t really want to.” then why did you even fucking bother do it in private dont tag it.
You are COMPLETELY valid to feeling uncomfortable, it is fine because with how much of this world we have there will be aspects some of us don’t like. You are not inclined to involve yourself with someone if they roleplay as a garlean but you do not need to start publicising it in a way that will paint the community in black and white when its truly a wider spectrum.
YOU CHOOSE WHO YOU INVOLVE YOURSELF WITH AND WHO YOU PLAY WITH, PLEASE GET AWAY FROM PEOPLE WHO GIVE YOU NEGATIVE FEELINGS OR YOU’LL SPREAD IT TO OTHERS.
from that initial and very brief tagged post there popped up many others and new discourse is arising, opening discussions about many things which is better then being blind to it all. but if you have personal grievances with someone and you state its over, let it be over. It’s not healthy behaviour. it’s also troubling to see someone complain a lot about the game and continue to play, no one is forcing you or holding a gun to your head. take breaks if you need to and play less frequently. like, real life is so much more important and there are people in this community that prioritise relationships with players etc.
Also, please stop fucking talking about mongolian/turkic/turkish culture like you know things. 99% of the big mouths in this community are americans. like majority are white americans. 
over the course of this expansion i have had many people of varied backgrounds share with me some terrible experiences and i myself have seen some truly stupid shit. 
WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU LEARN OF OUR CULTURE AND WHERE TO CONTINUE DOING SO. DO NOT INTERPRET MEDIA AS ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF CULTURE.
it is absolutely not hard to tag a post and ask around, someone will pop up. I’ve been doing my very best to let everyone i know that i can help with learning about my culture or to find someone who would be more then happy to explain and share with other cultures. But when you go off of a documentary you saw of Genghis khan or only know of the tourist white people scenes of istanbul you as a community say some TRULY dumb shit.
I like to try and be patient because i myself when approaching someone of a culture i admire and am curious about i want that in turn. But if you say to me things like “Ainu aren’t real” or “Tatar people have nothing in common with tribes from the Altai mountains” its hard to do so.
FFXIV regions are not just “Germany” “Turkey” “Mongolia”. If you think this, it’s clear to me you don’t know shit and are too lazy to explore, further just google shit its not that hard. I had someone tell me that my people could never be in this game since its “Straight up mongolia” fucks sake NO ITS NOT. The designs vary and i can see the differences in simple things like words because i actually bother to do research even coming from a turkic culture. There were some beautiful little things dropped that linked to not only my people but others like Uyghur and Altai. The only place in FFXIV i think could only have a singular influence is Kugane, because from a foreigner’s perspective that’s already interesting enough. Many people have grievances and real issues with how SE has handled Doma’s influences and no one ever talks about that. Representation for asia in media has turned into this mess of specific east asian countries, the trio that even then gets categorized into China/Japan with brief mentions of Korean culture. 
Its frustrating. There are people who are happy to teach you. Who are willing to show what is wrong with the picture.
I have read several posts about Turkey/istanbul/Antalya. Yall fuckin weird you guys seem to think its in U.A.E or some shit with how you act. It’s in the Mediterranean/Europe/Asia/Middle East and there is no such thing as a specific looking Turkish person. You claim everyone is specifically white/brown, HELL NO. It’s a mixed nation and that’s the history of the land, if you had ever fucking stepped in turkey and spoke to any person on the street they’ll say their heritage that lead them to there. People claim Ala mhigo’s influences are turkey but i have yet to see that. As someone who has lived there and has heritage there and is strongly connected to that culture, i dont see it. sure the ala mhigan gown had patternings but thats also present in my nogai culture too because parts of turkey’s society descended from the line of the Kayi tribe. Just fucking LEARN TO READ GUYS. None of you guys even know what the altai mountains mean and i could sit and explain over and over again if you let people SPEAK.
Look at Thavnairian items. We have outfits that are completely different, a full length dress and then a bustier. you can’t start generalising things in video games to be one culture you have to realise most places in this game have several influences. We don’t know a lot but everything we have been given has been varied enough to pin point it to ONLY one influence.
I don’t want to just keep going about this simply because im growing frustrated.
The thing with Viera complaints. I think some are valid but some are stupid. For one as I make this post it hasn’t even been confirmed so there is no reason for policing Viera to a severe extent. Considering all the Ivalice content in game has been an alternate universe kind of thing its dumb as shit. But feol viera being made without understanding the knowledge that people who have played rw picked up is quite frustrating. As a community, its important to help people when we have information that others may need that they cant understand the context of.
I know people are worried about them being fetishized, that is my legitimate fear too as a huge ivalice fan. But this is a repeated cycle especially when we consider generalizations like miqo’te especially seekers and belly dancing or when au ra arrived and people thought xaela were genghis khan basically. 
The game is not solid, there are so many holes in the lore and the plots and i know people hate that but we fill the gaps with our own opinions and theories. While I understand some people think we need to move forward in 2019 because “japan is xenophobic”, its a very difficult thing to do. THEY DO HIRE PEOPLE FOR CULTURE ADVISING. THEY TRAVEL OFTEN AND DEVELOP WITH THIS. IT’S NOT LIKE THEY WENT ON GOOGLE AND SAID “yeah a japan land would be fun” they literally have people hired specifically for this stuff. however, at the end of the day its a company that has yet to show it can evolve with the times. Its becoming more and more evident with the recent patterns of main titles in FF and side projects having so many issues in story/lore/management. remember 1.0 basically died being absolute garbage and this is salvaged from that.
its really late and i had a terrible evening so i may not be making the most sense but theres more important things to worry about then to make this game a miserable experience when it could be a huge learning opportunity for everyone. There’s no need to generalise people into categories because of characters they choose to develop but its important to note with majority of people standing up higher on the pedestal are those speaking for the minorities groups that have direct influences in the game.
also lol if you fucking say ainu aren’t real to me one more time i will fucking throttle you

what do you think each of the members greatest strengths and weaknesses are in relation to their dancing?
disclaimer: i dont know bts at all !!! i have NOT seen them in the studio during practice, so i can’t speak accurately to everything about their weaknesses. seeing dancers during rehearsal is a key factor to determining how proficient they are, and i’m sure there are many many “bad” habits that have been drilled out of them over the hours of rehearsal they do just for one piece !!!!!!
so i’m not . technically absolutely qualified to answer this question for these reasons, and i’m just putting my own lens on what i see onstage or in the dance practice videos.
EDIT: I DIDN’T SEE THE “strengths AND weaknesses” part IM DUMB HSLDHG just take the weaknesses i’ll address strengths if u send me another mssg LOL 
jin –> it used to be his upper body being very stiff, but he’s now learned how to use his shoulders and chest very fluidly, much better than most of the members. his greatest weakness is his “spatula” hands, where he tends to keep his fingers locked together in a “flat” blade-like shape. starting to soften his hands and making them more fluid would really help the line of his upper body + extend movement !! its such a small thing but it will change a lot imo TT
yoongi –> hhnnfuuuufufufu i think it’s his upper body for me. he’s quite stiff but then again i haven’t watched any recent fancams so i can’t speak too well about this topic. i think his general confidence as a dancer translates well into the choreography, but sometimes it’s all-or-none when it comes to upper body VS lower body proficiency. he tends to lack in one when he’s thinking too much about the other . he doesn’t have trouble staying on the music becoz he’s one of the shorter members, so it’s easier to move his body to keep up w the music, but sometimes he doesn’t complete a certain movement all the way thru the body and/or project that energy to his fingertips
namjoon –> his shoulders !!!! they’ve gotten a lot better (and i know msot of the issue comes from fast choreography and the fact he’s the tallest member, or the one w the longest legs), but he has trouble articulating thru his shoulders and tends to have them hunched, which is a habit that hinders full torso movement. such movement/fluidity will impact stage presentation a lot !the audience will notice a big difference if this changes ! and also his arms sometimes swing around when he’s not paying them attention
hoseok –> ahh i hate to say he doesn’t have any weakness, but it’s true he works very hard to cover everything up. i would say that i’d like to see him attack a song like fake love with more resistance or power like JK/jimin TT it’s not the technique that’s an issue, but rather stamina and style so !!! idk i would say his actual weakness is not spotting during his turns (such as his house dance video where he was doing doubles), so if he learned to do that he would be more stable + able to complete multiple rotations more easily 
jimin –>  he’s too stubborn … always sticks to the same kind of interpretation which has now become exaggerated to the point that it’s a new style. i would like to see him abandon that resistance + bound-flow quality in order to completely flourish in all sorts of genres. he’s quite unconfident in himself and therefore resorts to tricks sometimes to garner best audience reaction TT he will do well when he starts pushing himself in a different way (not dancing HARD but dancing smart) and actually picking up nuances in different styles like old school hip hop, then he will really become an even fuller artist .. !
taehyung –> for me his footwork is what needs work. his facial expressions are much stronger than a lot of the members (especially seen in his solo stage), but he struggles w getting his feet crossed over fully / feet placed in the right position. he is also ahead of the beat in his solo since it’s not drilled into the body that he must match the other members, such as in a group dance. it’s becoz he’s worried he won’t be able to keep up w the music, and working on this aspect will help him gain confidence and ease during a performance
jungkook –> ahhh jungoo TTTTTTTT please work on ur facial expression shshslkgh i understand he’s an idol and each idol has their own image, so they’re not exactly versatile industry dancers, but he has the same angry looking face in most title tracks or choreography heavy songs that bts does. i’d rather have him reflect the tone of the piece and be more playful in his facials rather than keep the same look for every song. it shows that he’s paying attention to more than the movements & is strong enough as a dancer to start thinking about more than just the choreography. for example, DNA and fake love have very different vibes but he keeps the same expression for both for some reason TT

ummmwine replied to your post “zenkaiankoku replied to your post “i find it really interesting how...”
oh totally to all of that though, like, yeah i think ppl either smooth him over WAY too much &/or make him like, more stable than evan which is like??? they have Different Problems actually but connor is definitely the least okay / least okay to be around of all of them...but it's also like...clearly just as Off to interpret him as somebody who just acts out completely at random and is just Intensely Angry ALL THE TIIIME instead of yeah, him having this actual internal
OK im replying under the cut because this will be long but tl;dr YOURE RIGHT
process behind the stuff he does which like, from an outside perspective would clearly be unjustified or over the top or irrational etc etc etc...and tbh like interpreting him as like, slow to warm up to ppl and quick to draw back thx to paranoia or potentially actually sort of latching on to ppl too fast but it can also go sour rl quick All Thanks To Splitting is valid af and like!! we don't know cuz canon doesn't say anything about that kind of thing re him. liiiike
i think the difference between having a relationship w someone with something like depression and anxiety and with someone who has a disorder like bpd is that w/ depression and anxiety you can almost always take a step back. its not going to be the case that everything you do impacts them and that their response to your actions is going to be a public thing.. bpd for me at least is very loud. it takes up all the space it can possibly find, so every interaction Means something and every response you have to those interactions needs to serve some kind of a function and it needs to be Known. its why at least for me i tend to suffer more when i have close relationships with people, because youre constantly having that sort of connection. like im not saying its always a bad thing because the good times are! so good! but everything is horrible and intense All the time so it never feels like youre doing something wrong when youre acting out. its more like why DOESNT this matter to everyone else the way it should. 
the splitting thing just makes so much sense to me because i used to be the kind of person who would say like , really awful things to my family as a result of it. i dont ever want people to think im justifying what connor supposedly did but i think there Should be an explanation beyond hes just ‘a bad person’ or Vaguely troubled. there is a genuine attempt to reach out to evan, however minor, and i think that its way more compelling to treat him as someone who Does crave genuine connection w people and is just unable to approach it in a healthy way than anything else
i don't think that reference to that particular incident with zoe is meant to be like "there's a specific canon answer to what issue made connor act like this" but like i can so see that being more of legit paranoia fueling that problem somehow and just...like hghh again out of all the senior kids he'd definitely have the most work to do before he'd be able to have a good relationship either in terms of on his own end or re the other person's end of it...like obviously
there's the violence which is like. number one Got To Get Rid Of That Asap mostly for other ppl's sakes but then like. figuring out how to deal w the underlying crap would be more for his sake. like god that all of them were in therapy but also connor's problems definitely seem intense enough that he could probably stand to look into being medicated instead of having to self medicate cuz i figure that's what he's trying to do even if its kind of backfiring sometimes...
definitely definitely.. i could say a lot about why i think having connor and evan (or jared i suppose but i havent thought about that so much) bonding initially and then it going downhill because of a lack of an actual understanding of each other’s issues (and then both learning and coping separately IN ORDER to build an actual relationship with each other) is more interesting and genuine feeling than them Immediately helping each other and it actually working. but it would be long.. 
they all need to See Someone. + obviously medication is never the be-all end-all of any kind of mh treatment but for me personally therapy was never useful UNTIL i was on medication that actually helped regulate my moods first. the sort of things they talked about were never feasible for me because my moods dropped SO fast and because just being told to do things was so infuriating.. and so on. i definitely agree w the self-medication part i usually see that as connor trying to deal as best he can w something that no one else seems to understand or struggle with. sometimes it seems like the best way of coping w things is to try and detach urself from it . obviously that isnt healthy at all but when u dont know how else to deal w ur problems u find your own solutions :(
ANYWAYS the point is that like. first of all projecting shit Is Valid And Who Cares Anyways but in this case its probably also more accurate than what ppl write when they have no experience with such intense and unmanageable things and stuff that you really can't quite imagine accurately unless you know it firsthand already. and godddddd a trope i cannot stand is like, the 'i just need one good relationship and that will fix things / inspire me to choose to be able to
handle this and voila! i am handling it" like!!! i LOVE good relationships being mutually helpful and with this cast it's easy to see how they'd clash cuz they all do in canon!! but it's also ughh so easy to see how they could all understand and help each other even tho their specific problems are different when u zoom in enough. and like it's cool as hell if a relationship helps you / motivates you but it's not gonna fix everything and it shouldn't!! and like yeah with
connor i really see his shit as being involved in / close to the clinical psychotic types of issues. which yknow, people REALLY don't tend to know how to write if they don't have lived experience or really do a lot of good research anyways. like badly written anxiety is still probably gonna be closer to the mark than badly written delusions or smthing, idk. but anyways i am going ON AND ON and the point is. bpd connor is valid as fuck and i love that perspective on him
YEAH i think when i was younger i fell into that kind of writing as a sad sort of wish-fulfilment thing because it makes sense to want things to be that way. but its not helpful to people who relate to those characters, or realistic/healthy to want that sort of solution because it just doesnt exist
i think with personality disorders especially its hard because to a certain extent its like... it inhabits you. i was SO worried that once i started being able to deal w my mental health issues i would stop being a real person because like. it informed Everything in terms of how i approached the world. its hard to write something like that but like.. it all makes sense in your head. you have your own internal justification for everything even if you never reason it out and even if you couldnt possibly explain it in words you KNOW youre feeling this way for a reason and youre justified and should be feeling this way. its weird stuff
ANYWAY ty for this i LOVE talking about this kind of thing and literally everything youve said is so good and real.. connor is important to me even if he has barely any characterisation in canon lol

I truly love interacting with my readers and going into plot/character analysis, i just love hearing everyone’s thoughts and thinking processes bc we all interpret things differently, again, thank you everyone who enjoyed reading this story (:

Tumblr media
After confirmation of the surgery, it became prepping sessions. Your doctor slowly took you off the chemo and gave you medication to ease any discomfort. You were given less visiting hours because you needed to rest. 
But your troubles stirred when you were alone. The moment replayed in your mind when Jennie told you that they were broken up. There was nothing you could say, nothing for you to fix. Jennie and Jimin were respectfully dating you, aware of your decision for still wanting to be with the both of them. It didn’t feel the same though, it didn’t feel secure or safe.
There was no way you could date them separately. Jimin lacked what Jennie brought to the relationship and vise versa. It wasn’t complete without the both of them. Your nurses didn’t let you worry about that, brushing away Jimin and Jennie during your resting hours. 
Jungkook visited you once after you added him back onto your list. He also brought you a vase of your favorite flowers. There was part of you where you didn’t want to make things awkward, but the other part didn’t allow for that. Instead, you blurted out that you knew about his crush on you. Then, he left quickly after you rejected his offer to be with him.
Hoseok respected your time and didn’t visit when he wasn’t allowed to. You were aware of how he had other important events in his life, but you really wished he tried to see you more. You’d hate to admit it, but Hoseok seemed to be the only person you could turn to for any non-biased advice. Since he stopped coming around often, you had to turn to your nurses.
The two weeks were absolutely the dullest moment in your life. You thought that living in your small town with your mom was bad, this was worse. You were stuck in a huge hospital with no friends majority of your stay. Your nurses were only with you for max ten minutes before they needed to go. You had the television, sleep, and your own nervousness.
Surgery was a big decision, so big that you even called your mom about it. You didn’t have the best relationship with your mom, so calling her was a surprise to even her. She totally didn’t bother to follow up on your life, so she never called first. But, you couldn’t go into surgery with the possibility of death and not tell her about it.
She offered to fly over and you insisted that she didn’t. So when she arrived to see you, you didn’t hesitate to give her a piece of your mind.
“What are you doing here? I told you that you didn’t need to come. Where did you find which hospital I was staying at?” You groaned into your pillow.
Your mom set her things down and crossed her legs while she took a seat across from you. “I asked the school. I’m your mother, for fucks sakes.” 
“Yeah, well you didn’t think that when I was growing up, so now that I’m dying, you decide you should start caring.” You rolled your eyes at her gasp.
“How dare you say that to me? I raised you when your dad walked out on us.”
“If you think being drunk and picking me up from my after school programs means raising me, then yeah. You did great mom.” Your sarcasm came out in train wrecks when it came to your mom; she drew the worse out of you.
“(Y/N), you have cancer and you decide to let me know when you’ve already decided for surgery is not exactly the most responsible daughter thing you pride yourself to be.” She shot back.
Your nurse came in to cue that she only had 15 minutes left before she needed to leave. “It honestly didn’t cross my mind that I needed to tell you since you’ve never cared enough to call me these past years except to invite me to your stupid wedding. Might I also add that you didn’t tell me about until the day before, so that makes two of us.”
“I didn’t raise you for you to treat me like this.”
“You didn’t raise me at all, what are you saying? But how about we talk about something else, since that’s all we ever talk about. News flash, mom, I have fucking pancreatic cancer and I’m going into surgery tomorrow. I’ve been going to chemo these past three months and I have almost to no hair. My body is bruised from being poked by needles. I am dying! Thanks for even having the audacity to come see me before my maybe death tomorrow. Don’t let the door hit you in the face.” You shouted as loud as your lungs let you go.
Your door opened and you both stopped your argument to see Jennie and Jimin standing under the frame. They looked stunned and confused to see the lady who you resembled. “Did we come at a bad time?” Jimin asked.
“No, since this is your visiting time.” You crossed your arms, glaring at your mom.
“Who are you two?” She asked, rudely.
“Mom, that’s my boyfriend, Jimin and that’s my girlfriend, Jennie. Welcome to the modern society of polyamorous relationships where I love two people at once.” Jennie and Jimin have never heard such sarcasm run out of your mouth. You were always just subtle, but this side of you was new.
“Hi, it’s nice to finally meet you.” Jennie stepped forward and your mom got up.
“Well, I can see that you have a whole double life I know nothing about. I guess you don’t need me anymore. Good luck on your surgery and whatever you call a relationship.” She grabbed her things and walked past Jennie and Jimin.
“She was pleasant.” Jimin said sarcastically and you rolled over on your side.
“This is why I never brought you home with me for the holidays.”  Jennie hurried to cuddle up to your side. 
“At least we avoided an awkward argument over Christmas dinner.” She chuckled and kissed your ear.
Jimin sat on your opposite side. “Are you ready for tomorrow?” 
Sitting up in Jennie’s arms, you buried your face in your hands. “No. I’m so scared.” 
“You’re going to be fine. Jennie, Hoseok and I are going to be right outside of your door. We’re going to be with you when you’re recovering. We’re with you every step of the way, we already packed our go-bags.” Jimin tried to comfort you, but you sobbed into your hands. You couldn’t help but cry so much nowadays. Staying strong was hard when you were so vulnerable. 
“And if something happens? Will you be there with me?” It was a rhetorical question that caused them to both fall silent.
“Nothing will happen. They’re highly trained professionals and I made sure you had the best surgeon in this hospital.” Jennie bragged proudly and Jimin laughed.
“Yeah, seeing her demand it was very terrifying. But, she did it. You’re in good hands, baby.” Jimin smiled and kissed the top of your head.
“Can you two just lay with me for the last couple of minutes before my nurse comes and kicks you out?” You sniffed and moved over for Jimin to join the sandwich fest.
“(Y/N), I love you so much.” Jennie and Jimin said in unison, and the unsettling feeling set back into your system.
A group of nurses and surgeons rolled you into a double door room. It was dim, except for the big spotlight that shined above you. Squinting, you saw the surgical masks that blinked back at you.
“Ready?” Your doctor was smiling behind her mask.
“No.” Your voice trembled from your nerves; your palms slick with sweat. “I want to be okay.”
“And you will be, (Y/N). We’re going to start with the anesthetics and we’ll get everything going. Relax, I’m right here.” She held onto your shaking hand and you stared back up at the bright light.
You felt the drugs enter your system, slowly stripping away your consciousness. You’ve already cried out all night your worries and said a few important goodbyes before the day arrived. The jittery feeling caused your body to shake uncontrollably and you were so terrified. This could mean recovery or death.
And while you hoped for survival, you knew the chances were split between the two options. Death was unavoidable, but to die so early shook your bones. Your dreams have just been memories of past events in your life, reminding you of the life you lived. The life you might soon leave. It was harder to ignore death than it was to wish for recovery.
Once your eyelids fell over your eyes, you’ve never felt more alone in your entire life.
“Would you stop pacing? You’ve been walking back and forth for the past two hours.” Jennie complained.
Jimin stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes at her, “I’m nervous.” 
“What happened to ‘it’s going to be fine’ and ‘you don’t need to worry’?” Jennie laughed and Jimin rolled his eyes.
“I can’t help that my body reacts the way it does when I’m the slightest worried. How are you so calm about this? They’re literally cutting her open in that room.” Jimin gestured to the closed doors.
“By not thinking about it like that. I’m thinking about the lovely time I get to spend with my girlfriend when she’s done.” Jennie muttered.
Jimin walked up to her and pointed to his chest, “you mean my girlfriend?”
Hoseok pushed the two apart. “She’s both of your’s. Are you two done making a scene in a hospital?” 
Jimin went over to sit next to Hoseok’s other side, making him stuck in the middle of a not-so-friendly feud. Even though they showed up together for visits, they were incredibly hostile to one another when they were alone. 
They slept in separate beds, Jimin taking over your room and Jennie in her’s. They ate dinner with their own friends and didn’t bother to tell each other about their whereabouts. They mostly spoke to each other in scoffs or groans.
Suddenly, the hallway doors were slammed open and nurses were rushing in a big machine --- a defibrillator.
The three of them stood up, seeing how rushed and hurried the nurses looked. The surgery door opened and a surgeon walked out with sweat dripping down the side of his head. The sound of a flat line heartbeat caught the attention of Jennie.
“Her heart isn’t beating, is it?” She was afraid to hear the answer to her question, her chest rising and falling violently.
Your doctor held the door open for the other nurses and defibrillator. “Her pulse went out, but we’re doing our best. But prepare for the worse.” 
Jennie collapsed onto the floor, bawling. “Holy fuck, we’re going to lose her!” She shouted with heavy tears running down her face. It was like her words pulled Jennie’s heart down to the pit of her stomach. Her whole mind and body were shutting down at the news.
“You have to stay calm, Jen.. we’re in a hospital.” Jimin tried to get her up, but she kept slipping his grasp.
“I don’t care! That’s our girl in there and her heart isn’t beating!” She exclaimed and Hoseok helped with holding her up.
Jimin’s head was in shambles, utterly speechless at what was happening. Hoseok was numb to the news, unaware to how to react. They wanted to stay optimistic, that the defibrillator will work. It had to work. 
“Why don’t you two go outside and get some air? I’ll stay here for any further news. Please... it’s not a suggestion. Go.” Hoseok needed to clear them out before they both stressed him out more than he already was.
Jimin walked Jennie outside. The light breeze clearing their heavy, crazy minds. Jennie was choked up by her tears, constantly wiping at her wet cheeks. Jimin stared at the ground, listening to her sorrows. His heart too heavy to express.
“Aft-er -- everything.. --Jimin --- I’m.. really, truly sorry...--” Jennie had trouble speaking with the endless waterfalls from her eyes.
“--Jen..” Jimin barely got out.
“No.. listen to me first. I’ve felt really guilty about all the rumors. We should’ve never gotten together in the first place, especially with someone like me. I’m known as the campus hoe, right? I can’t hold onto a stable relationship even if I wanted to and now my --- girlfriend --- is-- she’s -- dying.” Jennie cried harder, holding her face in her hands as she slid against the wall and onto the ground.
“I didn’t do anything with Jisoo ever. I don’t know how many more times I need to tell you, but I would never hurt you or (Y/N) like that, especially coming from a place where that has happened to me multiple times. Maybe you’ve always secretly doubted our relationship, considering how we got together through an accidental one night stand.” 
“Through our three months together, I fell head over heels for you, Jimin. I’ll admit it. I liked (Y/N) first, but you had a piece of me I didn’t think I could give to anyone after Taehyung. You’re so open, so understanding, so kind. I’ve never fully gotten the chance to explain myself because you keep shutting me down and every time, I believed that my explanation doesn’t matter. I’ve been devalued my entire life by my partners and sadly, I made myself feel that way with you when you ignored my pleads. But I think now is the best opportunity to tell you because we honestly don’t have anyone else who understands us the way we do. We’re both suffering because our girlfriend is in there not breathing. Our girlfriend, Jimin. I love you and through everything, you’re the one of the only people in this world who knows my struggles.” Jennie held him by the shoulders, so he could look her in the eyes as she gripped onto the only hope left in her life.
Jimin invited her into his arms, holding her tight. He had forgotten why he was upset before. He just wanted to be with his girls. He wished, hoped, prayed that things were back to how they were before the misfortune. 
“I’m sorry for making you feel invalid. I’m sorry for hurting you the way I did.” He admitted and Jennie sobbed harder into his chest.
“It’s okay... -- we’ll --- be...”
“--- Okay?” Jimin finished off and she nodded. 
You couldn’t breathe or move. Your lungs collapsed into your chest and you struggled to supply oxygen to your body. You screamed, but no noise came out and your arms were glued to your side. It was like you were trapped in a motionless body.
Everything was turning fuzzy and a white light blurred your vision. This was it. You were dying. You weren’t sure what realization hit you. Maybe it was the lost of breath and your heart rate slowly declining. Maybe it was the blinding light that caught your attention ahead.
Your memories started flashing before you. Jennie and Jimin flooding your mind. Your eyes scanned for anyone else, but them. However, you were left with scenes of your once perfect relationship.
Your first date night. It was the day you officially joined your partners. Jennie hurried you down to meet Jimin. He was cleaned up nicely, standing all cool against his sleek car. He peered up to see Jennie with the biggest smile on her small face, hand holding yours. 
She told Jimin the news and he was overjoyed, ready to hold you in his arms. He rushed you into the car and it didn’t feel much different than it was when all three of you hung out. The only difference was that you’ve never been more intimate with your best friends. 
Your first kiss. You anxiously sat next to Jimin on the couch during a lazy movie fest you were having with them. He had his arm wrapped around you, twirling the ends of your fingers with his. Your heart beating so fast, being not use to the touching from either of them.
He picked up your chin, knowing that you were distracted. It was an instant spark once your eyes connected and soon, your lips did as well.
Your first ‘I love you’. This moment was one of your favorites. It was Jennie’s birthday and you three were excited for the day ahead. However, a huge storm was rolling in and you were almost home. Jimin insisted in stopping to buy more snacks before rushing back. 
Once you all stepped out from the convenience store, it was showering, pouring heavy amounts of rain. Jennie, you and Jimin were drenched within seconds of going outside. Your plastic bags filled up an inch with collected water. Jimin’s leather seats in his car pooled with rain. All three of you laughed with glee as you marveled the escape from the wet mess.
And you suddenly stopped to admire the way Jimin’s eyes disappeared cutely and how Jennie’s nose scrunched up, her adorable snort catching your attention. In the midst of their happiness, you blurted out, “I love you two.”
The news of your mother’s wedding. An invitation was addressed to you. It had pretty cursive handwriting and a beautiful design. It was a wedding for your mom and her boyfriend, inviting you to join them for an evening of unity. You weren’t aware of them even being engaged, let alone a marriage. 
Jennie and Jimin never mentioned your mom, knowing you didn’t like pressing on too much about her. Their initial reaction was for you to go, until you explained that you didn’t even know she was getting married. You had crumpled up the invitation and threw it away in the trash.
Jennie consoled you, reassuring you that it was perfectly fine that you don’t attend. While you sulked in the living room, they approached you with the idea of still giving your mom a gift to congratulate her. It showed that you were the bigger person and that you acknowledge her efforts. They made you a better you.
Throughout every flashback, and every memory, your heart was searching for something beyond them, an image that wasn’t them. You laid there, dying, and all you saw was your girlfriend and your boyfriend. There had to be more than that and your heart was looking, waiting, for any other memories to surface. 
But nothing. It was only them and you couldn’t help, but feel a little disappointed. For the last few years of your life, you’ve revolved your entire world around these two people. You’re alone, not because you’re not social, but because you chose to focus all of your efforts into your relationship. And as you slowly lost sense of your consciousness, you became regretful about how you lived.
You heard distant voices, “1, 2, 3!” and you slowly opened your eyes. There was a rush of air that filled your lungs. Your vision adjusted to the bright spotlight and the many surgical masks above you. 
“She’s awake! We got her pulse!” They cheered and one of the nurses pulled down his mask.
“You’re going to be okay, Ms. (Y/N). The surgery was a success.” He smiled and you nodded, reaching for his hand to hold to make sure it was your reality. 
“We’re going to move you to your recovery room now, but you did really well.” The young nurse cheered with so much excitement, there were tears in his eyes. He was a complete stranger that just saved your life, yet he was even crying for you.
“T-Than-k yo-u.” You barely made out and he patted your shoulder. You shut your eyes again and felt the bed move and the voice of Hoseok calling after you as natural light hit your eyelids.
Several hours after the surgery and going over the post-surgery care, you carefully sat up in bed. Hoseok had to leave, but the two stayed. Jennie held onto you tighly, and Jimin blinked at you with stars in his eyes. But the thought you had while you were close to death never left your mind. 
“There is something I need to talk to you about.” You began, and Jimin and Jennie shared glances. “There was a lot to think about when I went under, my heart stopped for a few minutes and I was so close to my death. All I saw were our memories. I saw you two, but... something inside of me longed for something else, something more.” 
“If it’s not the three of us, then I don’t want to be in an individual relationship with either of you. That would mean making me choose and I don’t love one more than the other. It’s either both of you or neither. I will always love you two with all that my heart has to offer, but my life is so valuable and I need someone who is going to recognize that. I realized that the best for us is that there simply is no us. I love you both so much, I really do, but right now is not the right time. I’ll never forget us. ”
“Jennie, you were the first girl I love. Jimin, you were the first boy I love. But throughout it all, I won’t try to remember us. Maybe we’ll realize each other’s worth once we’re ready for it and we’ll be new people when we meet again.”
Jennie didn’t let go of your hand, instead, she nodded to every single word that you poured from your heart. “If that’s what you think is the best option for us, then I’ll accept your decision.” She agreed and no longer shed any more tears. She knew it was for the better, even if it did break her heart.
With a turn of events, Jimin was actually the one crying this time. Jimin’s tears spilled down his plump, supple cheeks. It was difficult for him to talk.. it was difficult for him to express how he felt in general. “I felt so regretful because I thought I was going to lose you forever when I was ready to trade my life for your’s. I’m just happy you’re alive and breathing. I respect your decision and I think that you’ll always know what’s best for us three.” 
Your heart was healing, bit by bit. The shock of almost death woke you up and you no longer wanted to be trapped in something that didn’t seem to work out well anymore. It was time for an end. It was time for change and you were more than thankful to have Jennie and Jimin, who loved you so much, they were willing to let you go and live life with no more regrets. 
Jennie smiled before gently kissing your hand, “I’m unsure how long me and Jimin would’ve lasted without you, but we were two people who fell out of love for each other, but back in love through you. I want you to know that even though you felt like you didn’t belong in our relationship, you were actually the connection between us. You were the reason there was an us.”
It was an epiphany ---- you were not the outlier in the relationship. You were the core center. Jennie and Jimin were more than thankful to have you in their lives, who loved them so much, that you were willing to look past their differences and to fight through every trial. 
“You were the reason there was an us.” That single line replayed in your thoughts, in a constant loop. And you smiled at Jimin and Jennie, the monitor beeping being the only noise in the room.
“I love you both, don’t you ever forget that.”

Skin and beauty standards.
Yall I want to discuss this because I feel like have been seeing this discussion a lot lately and actually had a pretty sad and eye opening discussion with my sister and friend.
So I want to start off saying that I am a light skinned Latina. My sister and friend are morena. Dark, very dark. Not black. But deep tan and caramel colored. And I have always told them I thought they were beautiful and that it sucks that cultural and broader societal beauty standards make them feel uncomfortable about thier color.
But my friend when I said this recently, sort of called me out (she has been having a hard time) and said that while it's nice that I say that it seems sort of hypocritical when I, who am already light skinned, do what I can to make my self lighter.
At first I was like super confused like ...."I dont try to make myself look lighter."
But then as we discussed it I realized "whole crap I didnt realize I was doing these things"
Examples
I use foundation one two two shades lighter than what either I have been matched or people say I match to (within reason I am not trying to look like a ghost) And say things like "do I look orange, or like too dark?" And in my mind I think I do look orange or unnaturally dark (not "attractive" latina tan but like obviously not this skin tone) even when people say it seems like a perfect match.
I have really dark brown hair, pretty much black, but when I can i prefer to dye my hair pitch black. I always liked it But everyone said it paled me out, but I liked it and have been wanting to do it again.
Now I argued with my friend and later sister as I discussed this discussion, that I mean I just like the way I look when I do these things and it didnt have anything to do with disliking darker skin tones.
But they pointed out, and I get it now, that the point isnt that it is a preference, but why it is and the fact I have the skin tone to get away with it.
As my sister said, "if I tried a foundation that was slightly lighter it would be obvious and most of the time I dont really have options. I have to really work for a shade that matches and you get to pick from all these shades and they more or less dont look bad or obvious unless we see you all the time."
My friend said "like I know you dont think dark skin is bad looking and you are supportive but like when you worry about looking too dark when you are like a light tan it kinda makes me feel a bit crappy"
Obviously. I mean I dont think there is anything wrong with my skin tone. But I didnt ever think about why I prefer some things or how my preference may be interpreted. I dont see my make up preferences or hair color preferences changing but I am definitely gonna pay more attention to what I say.
Not a gran epiphany I mean I recognize I have certain privileges like the variety of foundation shades and the relative ease of shade finding, and not having to hear people say things relatively negative about my color. But am for sure gonna be more aware of my own actions and words too.
EDIT:
Just want to elaborate because someone messaged me about this (probably a troll and personally I dont know how trolls find things that arent tagged or why a troll would follow me. I assume that must be the reason they say it).
I dont white face. That's not a thing.I am not saying that I do not like the color of my skin. Or that I am a dark skinned person. I would call myself white if my white friends and family didnt get uppity about it. I would never call myself dark because my very dark indigenous looking friends and family are dark and I wouldnt dare compare.
Just to further explain. I was born very white
Tumblr media
This is baby me. No I am not a boy. They made me the devil because they thought it would be funny to make the dog the angel. But the dog destroyed its wings and they werent gonna buy either of us new costumes so the dog got a wraped in left over material
Anyways that white baby gradually turned into a very orangey looking kid. I was really self conscious about that. Not the looking less white part, but the orange part. My siblings and darker looking side of the family arent orangy. Although they say I am not, I look at the photos and see orange.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eventually because of puberty I went from an oompa lompa kid to a just lightly orange tinted high school kid (I am not wearing foundation in the photo below also this wasnt a high school pick but college but my skin has stayed the same since then)
Tumblr media
The next photos are of me when I wear foundation. Yes I drag foundation down to my chest...dont judge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There isnt that much of a difference. The point of this post isnt that I dont like dark skin or I prefer lighter skin or that I pale myself out completely to look lighter. The point is about vocabulary. the terms lighter and dark white and dark arent accurate here but I use them. When I am matched to foundations I am matched to peachy undertones for medium skin. What I usually end up preferring are shades in the light to mediums with neutral undertones.
In the first picture (I was in college) the shade is tarte amazonian clay 29H for light to medium skin with peachy undertones. When I was in high school I was matched with 35N for medium/neutral skin, but I thought it was too dark for me (like actually dark not orangey). Just so you know this was a little before matching with the computer machine thingy was around, when I first was matched that meant the ladies sat me down and just slatheredy face with different swatches the foundation until they saw one that they thought looked good. Freshman or sophomore year of college I was matched to that shade (35n) with the new fangled match technology but told the ladies I didnt like that shade and found it too dark so they told me to go a step down that foundation ladder- which makes me wonder if the sephora people actually knew what they were doing- which is how I ended up wearing the 29H. I didnt like the 29H so I went with the 27n i believe which is the second photo. The third is fenty beauty shade 260 for medium skin/neutral undertones and the fourth (my favorite and most recent foundation) is fenty beauty 230 for light to medium skin/neutral undertones.
But again the point being that when comparing the difference isnt extremely different. I havent changed race or been attempting to. The issue is that my vocab and the way I can easily just explore and play with shades and undertones are things that trigger my darker friends and family. I don't complain about my skin tone (although I did so in this post), but when I use the term dark instead of orange it makes them uncomfortable and I never noticed. I never thought about how they must feel when we go into sephora and ulta and I spend a while trying to decide which shade I PREFER while they struggle to find a shade that actually matches. I knew that they struggled but not how my experience may actually add to that anxiety.
This isnt a #whitepeople problems this is a #holy crap I didnt realize that the things I do might be hurting someone
When I og wrote above the edit that I dont plan on changing my foundation or hair preferences that wasnt me saying, "I dont care if it makes you uncomfortable I'm gonna do what i want!" I do plan on watching and changing the words I use. I will try to avoid saying things like "is this too dark?" Or "I don't like that foundation shade because it makes me look dark or too dark." I'll try to be accurate, " I think the shade undertone is off with this one." Or "I prefer neutral undertones rather than peachy or warm undertones.
Also if this doesnt make you realize the privilege of being light complexed WTF is wrong with you? I am able to wear numerous shades in one brand and there are people who cant even find one that matches well when looking at multiple brands.
Also as mentioned in a different post, I am light and rarely see people who look like me in novelas (as non help or poor characters ) so if that doesnt scream something to you about the extreme colorism or preference for more european looking features in latin america ya must be not hearing well.

About Pride- you aren't wrong, but there's a difference between someone wearing leather gear and someone practicing other parts of a kink. Wearing a collar is fine, being on all fours on a leash is really not for public spaces. Because that's involving non-consenting strangers in your kink. Sure, it's good for people to know kink isn't wrong, but something not being wrong doesn't mean it's appropriate for public spaces. Just like sex isn't wrong, but having sex where minors and nonconsenting (1)
(2) strangers can come upon you without warning isn't a good idea. If there's an area that's specifically designated as an area where there will be sex and full kinkplay, great! Mark it clearly and go nuts. But if it's somewhere people could just come up without realizing, that's not a good idea. There are people who don't want to see strangers engaged in sexual activity, and there are parents who would immediately snatch their questioning kid away from any event like that.
(3) There's nothing wrong with indicators of kink in public. Leather gear, badges, flags, that kind of thing. But actual kink /play/ is too much for places where someone could accidentally walk into it. And I really don't think Pride should be designated a place where you should expect to find people performing sex acts randomly scattered about. Not because it's shameful, but because it's something that you need to get people's consent to involve them in.
(4) And I know kink isn't innately sexual, but a lot of it is going to be interpreted that way to someone unfamiliar with the exact scene. Besides, even the nonsexual kink requires consent from all involved. In short: anything that says or demonstrates "I'm into kink" is great, good for people to see, and often stylish. Actually /doing/ that kink, except in areas that are (literally or not) surrounded by "here be kink" signs, is not so great. Because, again, consent. Nothing to do with shame.
-----
This is long, so I’m sticking a cut on it. 
Okay, before I start I want to preface this with: I do actually see your point. I’m going to be arguing with you, but I really want that to be clear. For the most part, I agree with you. You’re just arguing a point that I didn’t try to make, and I kind of want to clear that up. 
Second: my head is hurting worse than usual today (an explanation, not meant as points or to give me a pass if i’m wrong, lol) so if anything seems unclear or hard to understand, please point it out, and i’ll try and correct it/make it clearer. 
Point 1: involving nonconsenting strangers in kink. I agree, that’s bad! But no one was actually talking about doing kinkplay in public at Pride. From what I understood*, it was more about having leather pride at kink, as in like- people wearing leather gear and/or kink gear that isn’t made of leather, and wearing leather pride pins and stuff. Not actually engaging in kinkplay. “There's nothing wrong with indicators of kink in public. Leather gear, badges, flags, that kind of thing.“ That’s exactly what I was referring to, in all honesty. Anything beyond that point is, as you said, involving strangers in your kink without their consent.
However, there’s one thing you said in there that I disagree with.  “Wearing a collar is fine, being on all fours on a leash is really not for public spaces.“
I’d argue that a leash is fine, honestly. Maybe not to be at, I don’t know, a coffeeshop, but at a big busy festival like Pride with a ton of people around, I think something like that has a much higher chance of getting lost in the shuffle. Hands and knees don’t work because, crowds and being at knee height is unsafe, and if I were to take my sub to a place like that I’d be worried she’d get kicked in the face.
Point 2:  “ And I know kink isn't innately sexual, but a lot of it is going to be interpreted that way to someone unfamiliar with the exact scene.“ Again, I get where you’re coming from, but I don’t agree with this either. There’s a lot of elements of kink that people connect with sex, but I think there are also a lot that the vast majority of people haven’t really thought about.** The vast majority of people are not very well educated on kink, and therefore there are a lot of elements of kink that absolutely fly under the radar to vanilla people.  
Also, a secondary aspect of this is that queer people in general tend to be reduced to their sex lives as well, not just kinky people. Straight cis people- especially older people, from my parents’ generation and older- have a tendency to reduce gay men to ‘ew, they have gay sex!’ and lesbians to ‘but how do they have sex? there’s no penis’ and trans people to ‘but how do you have sex with them?’ Reducing kinky people to ‘but they have sex like that?’ is pretty much what they’ve done to the entire rest of the queer community anyway. So I don’t love that argument for the same reason I don’t like things like ‘trans people shouldn’t be allowed at pride, because what if parents of gay or lesbian or bisexual kids see those weirdos and drag their kids off’. It seems like it’s missing a very large part of the history of the community as a whole*** in that particular respect. 
Last point: i just want to call attention to it, I’m not arguing. 
“I really don't think Pride should be designated a place where you should expect to find people performing sex acts randomly scattered about. Not because it's shameful, but because it's something that you need to get people's consent to involve them in.” It’s also illegal to have sex in public. It’s indecent exposure in New York, my home state, and it’s classified as a misdemeanor in many others****. So, you’re definitely not wrong there. 
However, there’s a difference between performing sex acts and making it clear you engage in them without actually having sex. There are a lot of posts around talking about people walking around wearing nothing but pasties over their nipples and thongs and nothing else, or people wearing shirts explicitly talking about sex, or whatever. If you google “pride NYC,” which is what I did because i didnt want to just google “pride parade” and get a ton of canned stock images, you see a lot of pictures of half-naked individuals wearing rainbows. I don’t think that if those people are perfectly alright to do that (and i do believe it should be allowed for people to do so! Pride is for having fun and being proud of your sexuality, so that kind of thing being policed would be a little weird to me) someone wearing a puppy mask or a leash and collar are also just following the trend in their own way. People making sexual assumptions about someone because they’re dressing in a sexual manner or wearing things that imply sexual actions are the ones making those assumptions. The people wearing those things could have chosen not to, but I don’t think they should be barred for choosing to wear them. 
Again, I’m not sure I covered everything, so feel free to point it out if I fucked something up, and I also am not sure any of this is going to make even a little bit of sense to anyone that’s not me, lol, so if this is a whole bunch of completely confusing ramblings, feel free to let me know and I’ll take another stab at it tomorrow when my head hopefully feels less foggy. 
----
*And I might have been wrong. I’m not discounting that. I can be wrong, I’m only human, and my understanding of things might not be 100% accurate. 
**By this I mean like the difference between calling someone Daddy (overtly kinky overtones because it’s become a wildly popular thing in media) vs things like asking for permission for small things or waiting for their Dom to give them a go ahead before taking an action, which is more inherently kinky than just using a title (in my opinion, again, this is all in my opinion) but tends to just strike as a little weird
***i wasn’t around for very much of it. I was born in 2001. But I’ve spent a long time following a bunch of angry older folks on here who every now and again go ‘wow you guys clearly dont remember what it was like in the 80s/90s/are being incredibly reductive, read these pieces from the 50s and 60s’, and I feel like i have a slightly better view on some of these things than a lot of the people I see on here. Naturally, though, I might be wrong about parts, and if I’m misrepresenting something, feel free to send me reading materials
****I did a google search, and the first thing i saw said, verbatim, “ Public Sex is a Misdemeanor. In most states, the laws that criminalize public sex make it a misdemeanor crime. Some state laws explicitly criminalize public sexual activity. Other laws are broader and cover a variety of indecent or lewd conduct.“ The full source can be found here: [x]

> Psii: Yesterday, freak the fuck out.
geminidoomed 2o, P2ii. II had an iintere2tiing conver2atiion la2t niight. And II am curiiou2 two know why exactly iit ii2 you have Cae2urae'2 amulet. you do have iit, dont you? you havent allowed 2omeone el2e two fuck off wiith iit? becau2e he referenced 'the fiight' and both of you have decliined two giive me detaiil2 but II'm more than a liittle up2et about my giift two hiim apparently beiing damaged.
palteringcecutiency ...good evening, Fex.
Yes, I do have the amulet, and only the clasp is broken, which I intend to fix and return promptly.
geminidoomed IIt 2hould be fiine, the cla2p ii2 de2iigned two come apart iif iit catche2 on 2omethiing or iif 2ay 2omeone triie2 two yank hiim or 2trangle hiim wiith iit.
palteringcecutiency That would explain why it came off so easily.
geminidoomed II do try two thiink ahead and he2 a very actiive troll iin many way2, II would hate two be the cau2e of a collap2ed wiindpiipe.
palteringcecutiency It's an excellent idea, with how used to scuffles he is.
geminidoomed Now II have two wonder how exactly the amulet offended you enough two break iit off of hiim.
palteringcecutiency There are a great number of possible reasons that have nothing to do with offence, nor the amulet itself, you realize.
geminidoomed oh? II wa2n't aware. 2iince a fiight wa2 diirectly referenced, and iit happen2 that he ended up beiing thrown off the roof faiirly recently, and whiile he diid not diirectly correlate the2e event2 II'm not completely iincompetant or 2tupiid.
palteringcecutiency ...I did not mean to imply you were either.
geminidoomed he mu2t have done 2omethiing really teriible for you two break hii2 thiing2 and throw hiim off the roof amoung other non dii2clo2ed actiion2.
palteringcecutiency ...the former was an accidental result of a more connected action, and the latter was more of a dropping and has no defense.
geminidoomed 'more of a droppiing'
palteringcecutiency ...yes. ...there was no force flinging him off the castle, but more being carried over the edge and let go.
geminidoomed 2o the iintent ii2 two let me know he diidnt hiit the water a2 hard a2 he could have. You diidnt 2ay what iit ii2 he diid
palteringcecutiency ...the intent was to be accurate, but yes, I was careful so his fall would not cause injuries. ...and no, I haven't, because it hardly matters. This was my fault.
geminidoomed 2o do you ju2t a22ault random ex 2laver2 becau2e II can get behiind that
palteringcecutiency Your sense of humor is appreciated.
geminidoomed diid he do the engiine noii2e2 joke agaiin becau2e II would have punched hiim off the roof two
palteringcecutiency ...no, that was not then.
geminidoomed hiit on you?
palteringcecutiency There was a miscommunication, and I interpreted his attempts to help as an insult, and lost my temper. It should not have happened, but it did, and the responsibility lies solely on my shoulders.
geminidoomed okay let2 be hone2t cronu2 ampora ii2 really good at uniiniitiionally iin2ultiing people what diid you do?
palteringcecutiency I terrified him, snapped his ankle, shorted his sylladex which broke the vast majority of all of his belongings, gave him a concussion with the butt of one of his guns, and dumped him into the bay.
geminidoomed were you maniic, p2ii.
palteringcecutiency No. Just angry. And an asshole.
geminidoomed you have a lot iin common wiith Der2e
palteringcecutiency I am unsurprised.
geminidoomed he ii2nt pre22iing charge2, he doe2nt even want anyone two know what you diid
palteringcecutiency ...I know, he's told me as much. ...he's told me why but I can't say I understand.
geminidoomed II'm up2et about what2 happened, but II'm more worriied about the future, iif your temper ii2 2o bad you can hurt 2omeone thii2 much before cra2hiing
palteringcecutiency ...understandable.
geminidoomed p2ii iif II can get you 2ome mood 2tabalii2er2 and antiidepre22ant2 would you be wiilliing two go on them?
palteringcecutiency ...I do not see why losing my temper with someone I have a torrid history with means I need to be medicated.
geminidoomed You cant 2ee why a potentiially lethal amount of anger followed by 2udden deep regret ii2nt a problem and 2houldnt be treated? II could re2pect your wii2h two go unmediicated when iit wa2 ju2t you dealiing wiith your own demon2 a2 much a2 II would have liiked two help wiith that, but thii2 ii2 an actual danger two people other than you
palteringcecutiency If it is others you are worried about, my leaving is an option as well.
geminidoomed II dont want you two leave, p2ii
palteringcecutiency And I do not want medicated, but we cannot both get what we want.
geminidoomed II would appreciiate iit iif you would giive me a chance, wiith thii2.
palteringcecutiency I would rather live alone or not live at all than pretend.
geminidoomed pretend?
palteringcecutiency What would you call being drugged into harmlessness?
geminidoomed ???? they're mood 2tabaliizer2 not narcotiic2 all iit doe2 ii2 make iit 2o your braiin ii2 better at proce22iing emotiional re2pon2e2 II would never put 2omeone on the kiind of antii p2ychotiic2 alterniia u2ed II'm thiinkiing about beforu2, p2ii
palteringcecutiency ...where I was told I was too broken to be left unsupervised. Can someone /please/ point to the part of my existence that makes me look like a fucking defective troll so I can hide it better???? Because I am /fine/.
geminidoomed II diidnt mean iit liike that, and iif II ever gave you the iimpre22iion that II thiink you're broken or need a culler II'm 2orry. ..II thiink the mediicatiion wiill help you help your2elf, iit2 not goiing two change you, iit2 not goiing two make you 2omeone your not or zone you out, iit ju2t make2 iit 2o the 2piike2 dont go 2o hiigh and the low2 dont go 2o low and the anger and tear2 are managable thiing2 iin2tead of wiild bea2t2 you have two endure
palteringcecutiency You don't have to backtrack and cover your ass, I'm well aware that everyone and their fucking lusus thinks I'm damaged goods that need to be /fixed/, they've straight fucking told me. Congratulations on joining the /club/.
geminidoomed Mituna I'm bipolar too. We aren't fucking broken.
palteringcecutiency One cannot demand something be fixed if it's not, now can they??
geminidoomed Do you consider yourself broken when you put on a coat because its cold, as well? ..I dont like taking medication either, I have a sever panic reaction to it
palteringcecutiency But you have /no/ problem telling /me/ I'm a threat to everyone unless I'm /pacified/, and rejecting other solutions in favor of drugging me into a stupor. If you're that fucking eager for it, put me back in the fucking rig, at least then I'll be /useful/.
geminidoomed /I'm not suggesting you should be drugged into a stupor and have never once even considered that amoung possible options/ What I'm talking about doesn't fucking /pacify/ you
palteringcecutiency Oh but I'm /dangerous/, aren't I? What will stop me from doing this again? I'm a very angry troll, Captor, and that is hardly going to change without something /drastic/.
geminidoomed I feel sick, and I keep trying to respond to this and back spacing and trying again. the medication I was suggesting gives you a greater amount of control over your own emotions. More control. Not less. because you're a fucking /good/ person, and given the tools to help yourself you'll be fucking fine
palteringcecutiency And once your assumptions are proven incorrect and I smear someone across something on my fucking own, then what Captor? Will you try to put a bandage on the problem again? Will you claim deafness when told yet again that I'm an angry, /shitty/ person with far too many weapons and history while you try to stem the bleeding? Wouldn't it be easier to just stop fucking toying with me and trying to trick me and let me solve the fucking problem for you?? What do you fucking gain from this fight????
geminidoomed trick you? toying with you? Mituna what are you talking about? I want you to have the chance to be happy and whole and not have to fight your pan over everything If you don’t think the Signless will crucify me for doing anything to hurt you I want you consider that Meulin and Porrim are also very viable options for maiming me, if you need some assurance other than my love and regard for you
palteringcecutiency Oh, I am beyond sure they will have words with you, about how delighted they are that their precious loved ones are safe from my reign of terror.
geminidoomed ..what? look if I go on the same medication will you take it?
palteringcecutiency What was the phrase you used earlier? Ah yes, /I'm not completely incompetent or stupid/.
geminidoomed Psii I don’t understand
palteringcecutiency Goodness, that's a shame, because I'm not fucking holding your hand through the words 'fuck no.' They're rather self explanatory, I'd think, unless you suddenly cannot read things you don't agree with.
geminidoomed I understand 'no' but I don't understand /why/, Something has gone severely wrong here and I don't know what it is, especially with references about trickery and toying and you not being stupid
palteringcecutiency
Must I keep repeating myself?? /I'm not letting you turn me into a flesh lump for your convenience/, no matter how much you fucking want it.You get me leaving or jack fucking shit, make your decision.
geminidoomed ???? II'm not goiing two force you two take mediicatiion but II dont know where you're gettiing thii2 'fle2h lump' thiing from
palteringcecutiency From you of course! And your necessary little /problem solving/ mission. It's not hard to connect the dots, Captor, especially when they're handed to you.
geminidoomed Mituna I literally have no idea what you're talking about
palteringcecutiency Playing dumb is not a good look on you, I must say. Especially when you gave away your game so early.
geminidoomed I feel like we may have been having two different conversations and I wasn't even aware of it, what /Game/
palteringcecutiency Your sense of humor continues to /amuse/, but I can let you into the 'secret' if you're so eager to hear me say it. The one getting me to go into this willingly, it was quite clever. Which of you thought of it? And how far back did this plan go? I would guess the fight was chance, Ampora would never risk the state of his face for anything, but who knows, perhaps he was sufficiently motivated and reassured and took a gamble. How sad he's going to be that it didn't work. :c
geminidoomed Psii are you okay? No one consulted me about anything all I wanted was to help. I didn't realize you would have such a strong reaction to the idea of antidepressants
palteringcecutiency Oh I am /perfectly/ fine, thank you for your /concern/.
geminidoomed why do you think I want to hurt you?
palteringcecutiency Come now, such emotional language. Is it really /hurting/ if it's solving your problems once and for all? Getting rid of such an /inconvenience/? Think of how much /better/ things will be in your action's wake, I can see the appeal clear as night. Too bad you were clumsy and dropped it, who knows when another opportunity will arise?
geminidoomed Psionic, I've spent the better part of two sweeps fighting in a revolution, freeing helmsman and seeing them back to their feet, I've known many of your alternates, I look up to them, they mean the world to me, and I am mated to one of them. Explain to me why I would ever in all creation want to do the sort of things you're suggesting, to you.
palteringcecutiency Yes yes, you're a pinnacle of rebellion and righteousness in the multiverse, I'm truly proud of you. None of those helmsmen are me, and only I am causing you problems. It's a meaningless comparison.
geminidoomed ..i thought you were proud of me
> The slightest pause in posting, noticeably longer than usual.
palteringcecutiency Having pride in someone does not stop them from thinking you a problem. Obviously.
geminidoomed how can you have pride in someone you think would do something this repulsive
palteringcecutiency You certainly don't have a problem doing it.
geminidoomed what?
palteringcecutiency Your pride in dangerous, unstable me, unless that was a lie.
geminidoomed you would drug 2omeone iintwo complaiiance??
palteringcecutiency Hardly, but I'm such a big threat to the populous, remember? :c I could kill any one of them in a messy burst of psionics if I so much as got angry, wouldn't you say that was /repulsive/.
geminidoomed Psii I don't think you're going to go around killing people because you're angry, I think its more likely you're going to lose your temper and go a little harder than you meant to because you're caught up in the moment and emotions are bullshit, I dont find you fucking /repulsive/ I know what that kind of temper feels like, Derse and I were one person once, I know how it feels to go at someone in a burst of anger and immediately feel regret like an avalanche I'm not even immune to it now
palteringcecutiency Ah, but I'm the one that's the problem. The Makaras are untouched, Ampora you all insist /changed/, you and Derse roam free, but here I am, a threat all of a sudden, one you have to solve, like Serket. I have no idea why /drugging/ is your weapon of choice when there are so many other options, but I'm sure there's a reason for it.
geminidoomed /YOU ARE NOTHING LIKE VRISKA/
palteringcecutiency ...perhaps not exactly, but the fact remains, of that list I'm the priority currently, and it's not hard to suss out the reason.
geminidoomed I do not want to fucking /drug/ you up or get /rid/ of you Mituna Captor, and the other people you mentioned know I will fucking /kill/ them if they step too far out of line, and my kismesis is the /only/ reason Gamzee isn't dead now, Cae was nearly killed /more than once/ when we first began interacting and had to fucking /betray his fucking empress/ for me to fully trust him, and he pleads on the elder Makara's behalf, although if /he/ fucking hurts /any/ of my people I'm killing him.
palteringcecutiency Are you trying to convince me I'm not on that list, because I can see my hive from here, and it's quite cozy I must say.
geminidoomed You are my fucking descendant and my ancestor, and I adore and love you what the actual /fuck/ are you going on about
palteringcecutiency Why am /I/ the one that has to explain this to /you/. I /know/ your precious /reformed highblood/ told you. I /know/. How are you supposed to solve his fucking problem if he doesn't, unless he's caught your ear so hard all it takes is pointing you in the right direction and a few words of encouragement before you leap into action.
geminidoomed ?? What the fuck is it you think Cae told me I could barely drag anything out of him about what happened Psii! jesus fucking /shit/ something obviously crawled up your nook and /died/ because you're having some kind of goddamned fever hallucination here
palteringcecutiency You say that like it disproves what I said. And it doesn't matter how much you insist, I am /fine/. /More/ than fine, in fact.
geminidoomed >You are so fucking done right now >You know where he is since you fucking set up his entire living block yourself and gave it to him as a gift after taking him to earth to fucking pick out fluffy purrbeasts together >You aren’t going to try to hack his door open, never try to hack another Captors electronic things that never ends well. >You are going to Either leave Twoblade or take him with you, grab a large bucket and fill it with ice and water, and fly up to Psii's window to see if its latched.
palteringcecutiency > Twoblade is most assuredly coming, he's beyond worried and confused for his alternate, and also for his mate. He understands the need to do this but if it goes badly.... > You, however, are not worried, nor expecting such a thing to happen, hilariously ironically seeing how alert you are to everything right now. You've narrowly avoided disaster tonight and you're not letting your guard down again, at least with conversations. > The window is latched, but right by you, giving a clear view of you, your tablet, and your massive amounts of stress winding up every muscle you possess into a tense mess. It's a miracle that you haven't busted teeth yet.
geminidoomed >He could carefully thread his psionics in there and unlatch it that way. >Or he could delete the window. > A blast of cold air proceeds the entire contents of the bucket of ice water.
palteringcecutiency > That gives you exactly enough warning to make you look up into the face of freezing cold twofold hitting your fucking face. > The sparking is gorgeous from an outside perspective, jumping in unusual directions as it runs along the water quickly soaking you. None of it goes Fex's way, but a great deal of it goes to your very soaked and unprepared tablet, shorting it out immediately and adding more sparks to the light show. > Your offended damp snarl is interrupted as your instinctual scramble backwards drops you off of your chair and onto the floor with an undignified thump and clatter as the ruined tablet escapes. > You're beauty, you're grace, you got a bucket of ice to the face.
geminidoomed >Sparks scowled through the hole in the wall. "You're an idiot." He told his descendant, floating there and holding his bucket.
palteringcecutiency > An aggressive shake of your head gets most of the slick curls out of your eyes, enough to see who the fuck it was and bare fangs at him, ears pinned, angry and scared. > "What the fuck was that????" You know exactly the fuck was that, but your pan is having to catch up with its stutterstall in shock, and it's not having the best night being routed in reality before this.
geminidoomed >"A bucket full of ice water which you were clearly and desperately in need of." He told him, making no move to run away from his snarling.
palteringcecutiency > His staying is not all that reassuring; despite your eagerness for all of this to be done, there's still a part of you that fears how that done might come. You have a very active imagination, and a lot of time on your hands to think of options. > "I told you I am fine." You're not moving either, not yet tempting fate.
geminidoomed >"You are clearly not fine Mituna!" .no shh shh quieter voice. It started loud and got quieter as he had an oh shit moment about yelling at him. >Sparks started climbing in through the window hole.
palteringcecutiency > For that one loud moment, you lock up, ears dipping and pumprate racing even more, but it doesn't last long between him quieting and getting fucking closer. > Your blunt claws try to dig into the floor before you force them to relax, nerves visible but not taking over, not yet. No guard, no scrabbling away, just. Letting Captor get closer. > "According to who? You? Ampora? Of course, you two are the most objective people involved here, aren't you? What would you do about it anyway??" > Whatever it is, you hope he does it quickly.
geminidoomed >Sparks moved the chair out of the way and knelt down by his dancestor and looked at him very seriously. There was more than a little time where Mituna could attack him, could hit scratch or zap him, but if he doesn’t take his shot >Sparks is going to hug him.
palteringcecutiency > Your nerves skyrocket exponentially the closer he gets, but you are determined to stay still, keeping your mask up and your mouth shut, swallowing thickly when he kneels. A beat and your decision is made, and you take your eyes off of his and point them to the ceiling. Come on, do what he came here to- > do. > > > That is a hug. > That is a hug that continues being a hug, despite your startled jump when he grabs you and the time that goes by. No knives in your back, no shower of sparks, no actions from your alternate who follows him through the window and sits on what should be a sill, nothing. Just. A hug. > Your dancestor is aggressively hugging you instead of murdering you. > This obviously calls for bursting into tears for some ungodly reason. You hate being organic.
geminidoomed >"I'm sorry that I-" he had to clear his throat and he blinked a little rapidly. "That I've failed enough somewhere with you that you think I'd do that" Nope Psii is crying and apparently blinking a bunch is not going to keep him from crying too. He holds him.
palteringcecutiency > This does not help you contain your unwanted tears, only letting you strangle a sob while you wrap around him tightly and bury your face in his neck. "You're not, he'th, I," alright words are not working while you're crying, just pull him closer instead.
geminidoomed >Sparks had him, he hugged him tightly and close against him- and rocked a little with him, and tried not to let his horns gore him.
palteringcecutiency > You're soaked and mildly freezing, a part of your pan is quietly screaming about being touched, and you are doing absolutely nothing to stop this hug that you had no desire for seconds ago. > Twoblade watches quietly for a moment before asking over his shared connection with Sparks if he'd like him to stay or go. He does not mind either way, but he does not want to intrude on something you may consider a private moment.
geminidoomed >Sparks wants him to stay, he has absolutely no idea where this will go when Psii gets tired of clinging to him, and for all he knows having Twoblade there will help. >"Hey it’s going to be okay, shh, it’s okay, things are fine."
palteringcecutiency > Then he'll stay <2 > It's difficult to shake your head in disagreement when you've tucked yourself so close, but you give it as best a shot as you have space for. How can he say this will be okay? There is no conceivable way for this to end well for you, at least by your definition, which you doubt he's using. You're doomed (ha.) to suffer for your entire existence, apparently, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. > This in no way affects your side of the hug.
geminidoomed >He rubbed the crying trolls back quietly, he was becoming soaked by extension but he didn’t really mind. Time to wait out the crying and get his own stupid cry ducts under control.
palteringcecutiency > It is not a small amount of time before your crying tapers, your emotions too plentiful and too intense for a short sobbing to purge. As the tears let up, your hands tangle more in the back of his shirt, trying to keep him close despite the emotional flood coming closer to an end.
geminidoomed >"I'm not going anywhere, I'm right here" He told his descendant and ancestor. This is his he will protect him from everything including his own shitty emotions. .. does Twoblade want to look and see if the tablet can be salvaged with tech or magic while they're hugging?
palteringcecutiency > A soft, muffled whine and your hands tighten; he shouldn't even be here, none of this makes sense, why wouldn't he just leave? > Twoblade's ears perk, eyes scanning the floor until he spots the sad thing sitting in a puddle a few feet away, bringing it over to himself with quiet psionics. A soft wince as he examines it via code, there is quite a bit of damage, but he might be able to fix at least some of it with his powers, he'll have to play and see. He'll keep half an eye on the two of you and the other half on the internal chat, but his attention will mostly be on the tablet for now.
geminidoomed >Sparks nuzzled reassuringly at the sad clingy Psionic and found a reassuring purr somewhere around his being and jump started it just for him, to try to help  ..  .. a moments thought and he uncaptchaed a warm blanket and got it around them with his psionics.
palteringcecutiency > ...the hug you could deal with, you wanted that (apparently) and it was nice to just dump all the turmoil out of your system. The purring... that might have been instinct or just pity for your sobbing. The blanket though, that just makes no fucking sense, too much no fucking sense for you to stay quiet about it. > "What're you doing." It's quiet, and still muffled because you aren't pulling away just yet, though you are shifting to give the edge of the (beautifully warm, fuck are you cold) blanket a wary look.
geminidoomed >"II 2oaked you and iit2 freeziing and you dont 2eem two want two move. It al2o tend2 two help when 2omeone2 cryiing." The lisp was back. "II promii2e the blanket ii2nt goiing two eat u2 both aliive, II'm not iintwo vore."
palteringcecutiency > The multiverse's softest snort of laughter ever occurs over by the 'window.' > "...not jutht that. All thith." Conversely, yours is sticking around for a bit, voice thick after crying that hard. "Why."
geminidoomed >He squeezed him, but loosened up immediately after, enough that he could get away if he wanted to but not enough he didn’t feel supported. "You're my dance2tor and II love you."
palteringcecutiency > It was your turn to snort, though out of disbelief. Not that you doubted him caring about you, but that that was why he was here, doing all this. Someone loving you did not make them immune to Ampora's claws, your family could attest to that.
geminidoomed >Horns clicked and clacked as he nuzzled at the troll in his arms. "..iit 2eemed liike you needed iit"
palteringcecutiency > "Needed what? Pathified? Thrown off the trail?" Your tone isn't angry or confrontational, just... apathetic. In the post-sobbing emotional void, you can't drag yourself back into the fire you felt before. It's hard to even get to resigned, and a part of you is content here. It's nice to have a break.
geminidoomed >Another quiet squeeze "There ii2n't a traiil, but II dont know how two prove that two you."
palteringcecutiency > "Becauthe I'm not an idiot." A soft exhale and you pull back enough to unbury your face and lightly flop it on his shoulder instead, resting it heavily like he was a pillow and you were just done. "Inthitht or believe what you want, it doethn't change anything."
geminidoomed >"..no, becau2e iit2 iimpo22iible two prove a negatiive" he told him gently. "II'm 2orry that II.. for whatever II've done that make2 you thiink thii2 ii2 true."
palteringcecutiency > "No, you're not." It's as calm a statement as the rest of them have been. "It doethn't matter. You're not the only one, and it'th not gonna thtop."
geminidoomed >He made a soft little distressed noise. He doesn’t know how to fix this. Well. Medication probably but. "ye2 becau2e II u2ually break iintwo people2 hiive block2 and cry all over them becau2e II'm not 2orry."
palteringcecutiency > "Fine, you're a little thorry. You're not gonna thtop listening to him though, or truthting him, or being betht friendth, and you'd get offended if I told you you should." He's probably going to get offended now, but you don't care. You're tired, and everyone keeps making you tell them what they're thinking, might as well give in and do it.
geminidoomed >Quiet fingers stroked at him and he asked him softly. "What do you thiink he2 telliing me?"
palteringcecutiency > "Whatever you need to hear to do what he wanthh." You say it like it's obvious, because it is.
geminidoomed > "..The only thiing he2 even a2ked me for lately wa2 2omethiing two 2top hii2 power2 from workiing."
palteringcecutiency > "Right." You don't believe him and it shows. "Tho you jutht wandered into Methhenger and accidentally interrogated me and thtumbled into drugging me all by yourthelf, huh."
geminidoomed > "..would you liike a full dump of all of my chat log2? II'll even giive you my log iin for tumblr."
palteringcecutiency > "Can't prove a negative, remember. Logth can be deleted or altered, 'thpecially by a Captor. All you're gonna prove ith either you've been tricked or I can't trutht you even more than I already don't, and it doethn't really matter to me which you are, the rethult ith the thame."
geminidoomed >Frustration and anger swelled and tightened his muscles for a moment, then broke through and he was just.. he was crying again quietly, although quietly was getting steadily worse.
palteringcecutiency > ...that is not an expected reaction, enough to make you lift your head and look at him crying, bafflement growing. Why is he crying, what does he think that's going to do? > Chirp a little sound at him, what happened?
geminidoomed > He shook his head and mumbled apologies trying to wipe his eyes with his arm.
palteringcecutiency > Another soft noise and you tuck against him again, lightly nuzzling this time instead of crying.
geminidoomed >He held him and tried to hide his face in his hair but his horns kept trying to tangle with his ancestor's ..despite all the horns involved having only straight lines.
palteringcecutiency > Straight lines were unfortunately tricky, especially with four of them each and the trolls involved being almost the exact same size. You try to help, but who knows how that will go with him moving too. If it fucks up more, you'll stop and just let him do whatever. > "...thorry." For making him cry, that's not what you want to do.
geminidoomed: >clack. clack clack, tck, clacktck. tcktcktck. >He made a soft annoyed sound at his horns and squeezed his Dancestor quietly. >"..2hould probably get you two your moiiraiil after me makiing a me22 of everythiing."
palteringcecutiency > "...probably." Atlais would worry immensely about you being like this but at least his hugs are fantastic and his warmth is reassuring. Plus this has been exhausting, sleeping would be great. > "...thorry I broke your gift. Gonna fix it next, I promithe."
geminidoomed >"II appreciiate iit" He murmured back. "II dont really think II 2hould be gettiing your apologiie2 but thank you."
palteringcecutiency > "You were upthet, that wathn't my intention with that. Tried to be careful with it, knew it could hurt you."
geminidoomed >He bumped him softly with his head clcktck "II appreciiate that."
palteringcecutiency > A little nuzzle back, clckck. "...it wath eathier to punch the fathe I knew than one with my brother'th colorth." An answer to an ages ago question that you still hadn't acknowledged.

I'm enfp w/ an esfj friend who when I approach her about things she does that upsets me (hit me once, disrespects and condescends me, throws mistakes or perceived 'weaknesses' in my face) bc I'd like her to apologise or change she shuts me down and it interprets it a personal attack? & begins to go about trying to 'ruin me' almost. I want to give up & walk away but she expects me to stick around despite all this. Idk what to do & it's triggering all the negative aspects of my Fi & upsetting me
Tbh if it seems like an ESFJ isn’t “picking up” on something, it’s likely that they completely are picking up on it and are just manipulating. Their Fe is way too good for them to not understand what you’re telling them. Tbh i 100% recommend dropping this person. They sound hugely manipulative and like they definitely gaslight you (if u dont know what that means basically they act like your perceptions aren’t accurate and you’re being illogical/crazy in order to invalidate you and shut you up). It sounds completely unhealthy for you and even if this person doesn’t realize what they’re doing, there’s a lot of worrying aspects to what’s happening there, and they aren’t responding to the most direct, mature approach possible. Especially considering how volatile she has been, and the fact that she has physically hurt you, I think you have no good reason to stay with this person.

Home insurance wants to raise dwelling coverege?
I purchased a townhome in March of 2013 for $183k in Florida. It is in a 200-unit subdivision that just completed all construction and sold out all last remaining units a few months ago. When I signed up for home insurance, the insurance company set my dwelling coverage to $183k. I told them that it isn't accurate for them to base dwelling coverage on market price because the replacement cost must be lower since market price includes land and profits the builder makes. Long story short, they convinced me to stay at $183 because they said costs were rising and so forth. I decided not to fight it. Fast forward to this year, and now they are proposing to increase the dwelling coverage to $203k (11% increase). Funny thing is that for my exact townhome model, about 20 units were sold in the last year with prices averaging in the upper $180s (slightly above what I paid). I called the insurance company to let them have a piece of my mind, and they told me they use an independent 3rd party company to price the replacement costs. I told them it's BS because it's way above average market price and replacement costs is always below market price. They asked me to send them documents from when I purchased the home that details the construction materials used and upgrades so that they can reevaluate the dwelling coverage. My question is, why is the burden of proof on me to prove to the insurance company that dwelling coverage should be lowered? Why can't they just reduce it to what I tell them to reduce it to? After all, I am the customer who pays for the insurance. If my house is ever destroyed and I underinsured, that's my problem not theirs. I just find it strange that I'm paying for an insurance service and the insurance company decides what the replacement cost is, not me. Even though it doesn't affect them.""

Israelic terms on health insurance?
I had to redo an experiment by Tykocinski. She researched the impact of certain primes, one of which is health insurance. She did this study in Israel. We replicated this study in the Netherlands, but we found different results and now we need to figure out why. For this reason I would like to know: What is the word for health insurance in Hebrew and Arabic? And how would they translate 1 on 1 with the english language. Example: the Dutch word for health insurance is zorgverzekering, but if I translate the words apart from each other I get either worry insurance or care insurance (depending on the interpretation of the Dutch language) The answer to this question could help me greatly in this research!""

Are health insurance rates a state or federal matter of approval?
I read this story today: The Obama administration is asking Anthem Blue Cross to justify its plans to raise health insurance premiums... Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius sent a letter to the company's president on Monday calling the planned increases extraordinary and difficult to understand. She wrote that the company has an obligation to provided a detailed justification for the rate hikes to the public. I thought that health insurers were state regulated and regulated by the NAIC--not the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Anthem is in California if that makes a difference.
Why has my car insurance gone up?
My question is about my car insurance renewal quote. I got my renewal quote from esure, last year I paid 357 with 7 years no claim discount, and with full uk licence held for just under 4 years. In whole year I haven't made any claim, same car, same address, still the new quote I got is 627. I am almost shocked. Last year also I had same problem, my renewal quote was about 40-50 pounds higher. I checked for new quote with different insurers but not getting anything cheaper than 460, still way above what I paid last year. Does anyone know why does it go up? I remember last time when I spoke to call centre guy, he told me that it depends on number of claims in your area etc. Is that true? Also somewhere I read the article that insurance companies are paying more than what they collect as a premium and they are raising premiums by up to 20% but still in my case the premium is almost double. If anyone has any knowledge on how this industry works please let me know. Any help is appreciated. Thanks""

Should I file a claim with my car insurance or pay out of pocket?
I am making payments on my car and currently have full coverage car insurance. About a week ago, I was driving my car on the freeway. It had been raining earlier that morning. A car beside me switched lanes in front of me suddenly. (She did not hit my car) but she caused me to loose control, my car hydroplaned spun out and hit the center divder on the freeway. No other cars hit me. My car has damage to the tire, rim and the right rear of my car from the back door to the bumper has scrathes and damage. I did not file a claim at first because the cost of my insurance is already $108 (because of a ticket) and I did not want it tod go up. But after paying to replace the tire, the rim and some other issues with the axile for $606....and the tow service which was $125; I'd like to know if any one has an idea of which would be more beneficial. Should I pay the $1000 deductible and have my car fixed through the insurance company, even though my monthly payments will increase? Or should I just continue the repairs out of pocket?""

""If healthy foods were more affordable, would health insurance be cheaper?""
It irritates me beyond words that people these days are almost forced to have a poor diet because junk food is more affordable. Then, the health risks associated with eating junk food cause more people in the hospital, more money being shucked at pharmaceutical companies for medicine to treat the diseases cause by poor diets, and health insurance and taxes we all have to pay for regardless of how healthy we try to be. I mean, if a packet of Ramen noodles is 50 cents and an apple is $1.50, the majority of the financially stressed nation is going to reach for the Ramen. I would love to eat mostly raw fruits and veggies all day long, but I simply can't afford that and it makes me feel like the government is forcing me to eat crappy foods in order to survive. Why are healthy foods so expensive? And wouldn't it factor out in the end to reduce the price of healthy foods knowing a lot of money would no longer have to be forked out for doctor's visits?""

How much will insurance, on average, lower a month if I plan on taking online driver's ed in the state of Florida?""

Where can a 17 years old female find the cheapest car insurance?
ok, so I am turning 17 in march, and I am looking at car insurance. I am getting my sisters old citroen saxo which is a 1.0 engine size 3 door car, very much like a ford fiesta. I was looking at insurance a few months back, and it was around 1,800, which I was prepared to pay. However, looking now, its around 4000!! what is going on!?!? I have saved up around 1000, but this is ridiculous! I was hoping to be able to buy my own insurance policy rather than go on my parents, as I'd like to be able to take my car away with me to uni next year! Does anyone know how I can get cheap car insurance?? I have tried apllying for third party only, with minimum annual mileage, etc... before you ask. Thank you!""

Motorcycle insurance depending on class of bike?
What are the types of bikes? I was told Sport Touring, Sport, Super Sport, and Cruisers? I was told insurance is cheap on Ninja 650r's, sv650's, and Ducati monsters. However it is really expensive on super sports like zx6's, cbr, r6, gsxr, and so on. If I get a older bike like 2002 or older zx6/cbr/r6/gsxr will the insurance be as expensive as a 2010 sx6/cbr/r6/gsxr? Or will it be around the cost of a 650r/sv650 etc...thanks.""

Homeowner's insurance?
My house is now worth substantially more than it was when I purchased it a few years ago. At the time of purchase, I had the house insured for the appraised value. Now it is worth tens of thousands more. I'm concerned that I would lose all of this equity if there was a disaster like fire that destroyed the building. Is it wise to increase the amount of coverage now and if so, is it usually neccessary to have another appraisal done or do insurance companies simply allow a homeowner to get coverage in any amount they desire?""

What do you know about car insurance / car-totaled?
What is the law? You have a car; it is rated @ $3,800.00 book value. Another driver hits you in the rear at a Pa. borough crosswalk as you are traveling through and have stopped for a person crossing the street. You are nearly pushed into the pedestrian, but thankfully you were able to stop your car in time. The other driver is in the wrong of course; but how much does the offending driver's insurance company need to pay to fix your car? I'm having a problem - my estimate is $3,277.00. I am told to look for the car to be totaled and 80% of the book value is what the insurance company is required to pay. Does anyone know is this is true? This car is a 1999 but only has 58,000 miles on it and is in mint condition. I have owned it for 4 years and during that time have not put a penny in it for parts & repairs. To get another, I would take a great chance on getting one which is not nearly such good quality. I'm wondering if the insurance company has a maximum that they will pay for repairing - if so maybe I could add a little to it so I can keep this car? Didn't appreciate it so much until after the accident!!!!""
