House torturing himself the entire duration of ep20 agonising over every little thing, trying to find out what he missed, what One Thing he overlooked that led to kutners suicide before cutting back to the patients of the episode who were previously unhappily reluctantly married- but end up wanting to donate their own heart for the other, killing themselves in the process
"They weren't willing to die for each other out of love, it was out of guilt" and taub retorting to house that "You can't have that much guilt without love".
God house loved kutner Like those are his kids you dontget it . Those are his kids. He loved kutner. He loved him
House absolutely saw himself in kutner He was brilliant. He was brilliant and stood up for himself and was unconventional and Kind and house loved him .He loved him and house lashes out at kutners adoptive parents for making him miserable and forces himself into trying to solve a murder that Never Happened because puzzles are the only thing house knows how to do and if it really was a murder-- an act of premeditated brutal senseless violence, there really Was Nothing house could do.
He can sleep at night knowing for certain that he played zero part in kutners death. But instead he lies awake Coops himself up in kutners apartment sits on his bed Looks at his figurines and the blood seared into kutners carpet, pores over every earthly record and photograph of kutner ever captured trying to find the One Thing he missed that made kutner kill himself so house can tell himself it wasnt his fault because house loved him. House loved him

okay i'm. i'm watching berserk 1997 and it's good. guts is so autistic shut up that's his comfort Big Sword that he likes to sit with in a very specific position at the highest vantage point he can find he's literally dog-coded AND cat-coded..... he's just trying to find his purpose after a lifetime of depersoning and objectifying himself as a weapon of war, the hand that holds and exercises the sword and the will of others. & he thinks he's just a pebble in griffith's journey because he doesn't realize how mature he’s being in this goal. obviously everyone is like that. griffith must also capable of this self reflection because well, guts can manage it even though he's only good at swords.. he can't even fathom the depth to which griffith loves and obsesses over him because he hates himself so deeply… and also once overheard griffith projecting about how Obviously guts isn't his equal Obviously he is very rational about his friend guts and isn't completely fucking deranged about him and trying to convince himself that he's not. and! and! guts Also can't fathom that casca cares about him, and so immediately positions himself as her wingman because he wants to be useful and help his friends find happiness. and what if all three of them were csa survivors. what then. what if i blew everything up.

Kakagai fanart based on this excerpt under the cut:
Kakashi: I hurt you.
Gai: Kakashi…
Kakashi: (being embraced by Gai, blushing and thinking *help*)
Gai: no matter what happens next, this conversation has made me the happiest man alive. I am honored that you chose to share your affections with me. To know I am worthy of your love… even if you decide that we must remain friends rather than passionate companions, tonight means more than I can ever express.
Kakashi: I don’t like curry.
Gai: nobody’s perfect.
Based off this fanfic:

Ao no Flag (SERIES FINALE SPOILERS!!)
Seriously, don’t read this if you are planning to read Ao no Flag. That being said, go read the manga now!!
Finally finished reading Ao no Flag and I have so many feelings. Non-coherent, rambly, messy feelings. I was looking at reactions online and what mainly boggles me about the reactions to the final 2 chapters is people being “how is Taichi suddenly gay??” My friend living on this big planet he never was (he’s bi). He most likely just realized it later in life. Did the events of his 3rd HS year help him figure it out? Heck yes. Is he suddenly bi? No.
Not all queer people pop out into this world and instantly know they are queer. Heck, it took me 23 years to figure that out. It’s not like Taichi instantly realized he likes Touma and started dating him. He knew Touma mattered to him somehow, but it took him multiple years to realize how, as evident by him maybe starting his relationship with Touma after 5 years when Touma contacted them all. He gained life experience and grew.
People go through a lot of learning, unlearning and growing. Especially if you are outside of societal expectations and norms. Taichi grew up learning to and wanting to blend in with society. “Be normal, don’t stand out too much”. Add to that low self-confidence and you feel stuck. Feel like there is only black and white. only one right answer to life. It can be very difficult to look out of this dark box, trust me, I had a tough time and sometimes still do. But it feels like Taichi thought and thought and pondered even back in high school and came to the decisions that he did.
And isn’t that what the series is about? growing as a person, making mistakes, learning, allowing yourself to be visible and vulnerable, and eventually, making choices, even if they don’t make sense to anyone else, and continuing to do so?
These two pages really hit me hard and I was wondering why. And then it hit me. This is possibly the happiest I’ve seen Taichi be since his childhood. Like genuinely happy. He’s reached max happiness points and is sharing those with Touma. He’s made his choices, and he’s happy. You can and are allowed to choose what or who makes you happy.
That’s all that matters.

my uncle and I had a conversation yesterday. he cares deeply for his family— myself included. he’s a christian man, as most of my family is. we’re a small community in the depths of south asia, which is why elders consider it of great importance to pass down virtues onto youngers, lest they go astray in a country where we are a minority. he was advising me on relationships, on attraction, and such. I knew where this was going to go. I knew that he knew today’s world was more open-minded.
“You should be attracted, ideally, to the opposite gender—“
”But what I’m not?”
I knew he was going to say that. I’m surprised I said what I said, too, since I usually avoid this topic with my family like a prey avoids predator. he was silent, for a moment, and I took myself by surprise again by adding,
“Would I still be your niece?”
a question that had been hanging on my tongue ever since I’ve delved into a world where queerness and my faith coexist. whether they coexist at odds, or on the same end, or maybe somewhere in between, was something I was always, always scared to know. sometimes I chose for myself. sometimes I followed others. rarely have I ever believed they exist at odds. my uncle went silent again. he stared at me, and for a moment I wished I hadn’t asked.
“Of course.”
I didn’t expect it. he looked me dead in the eye and said with utmost surety that I would still be his niece. I would still be his relative and apart of his family. I would still be something to him. I didn’t react too emotionally incase he got suspicious— but I know for sure that that response meant a whole lot to me. it still does. it still will. I wouldn’t be writing this if it hadn’t. he was the last person I expected to say that. he was the last person I expected to still accept me if I were queer. he then later casually mentioned that relationships aren’t exactly about gender— it’s more about the attraction. I questioned him, too, saying “it’s not about the gender?” not that I believed it ever was, but just incase I had heard him wrong. he then looked at me, with a “rahm. Come on.” deadpan kind of look, and said,
“It’s never been about the gender.”
as if it were some common knowledge. as if he didn’t just erase any worries and qualms I had about no longer being apart of the family if I were of a certain kind, of a certain community that is usually at odds with my faith.
I share this because this interaction meant a lot to me. I share this because I want to look back on it whenever I have my doubts. to look at this and read and say if even my uncle of all people, who usually comes off as an uptight, no nonsense christian man, can say this, then what am I worrying for?
I like to think God, himself, would react this way.
