thinking about Spock and the loneliness & sadness that accompanies being the first & only known Vulcan-Human hybrid in the universe…and then along comes Kirk whose main character traits are his empathy, his compassion, & his need to protect everyone—especially Spock.

also thinking about Kirk and his singled-minded focus on his career that inhibits his ability to form deep relationships. he can’t (won’t) love anyone more than his ship…and then along comes Spock who Jim ultimately loves more than anything….soulmate behavior, honestly.

i like to think that they can change their size in the mindscape/ninpo space, so sometimes when Leo's having a hard time he's smol and holdable, or peepaw will make himself bigger if he notices little leo needs a hug so he can hold his little self with all the safety and security in the world

:D

@intotheelliwoods little leo may be therapy in the peepaw multiverse, but he is my sad little guy and i will make him cry :)

when i first watched the finale i thought kendall being all like “oh i have stewy don’t even worry about it” was him just doing his usual false confidence inflated ego bullshit but like looking back i don’t think that’s it. stewy always goes back to him. he always goes back to stewy. it’s just how they are. he knows stewy. stewy likes pancakes and waffles, and he kisses guys on molly, and kendall knows him, and those are facts of life. stewy will put up a fake fight, and tell his guy to say no, and not answer kendall’s calls, but at the end of the day he will wind up right back in that office.

similarly, kendall will refuse stewy’s help, and ignore his texts, and give him the cold shoulder, but eventually he ends up on his doorstep. when you are this intertwined with someone, knowing and loving and hating become almost interchangeable terms. they look like separate paths but in the end they all lead home. back to each other.

so the “i have stewy” “no you dont” “yeah i do” exchange wasn’t just kendall getting too confident; he meant it. just like kendall could run around asking a million different people for help before eventually returning to stewy, stewy would pretend to consider his options before returning to kendall. both of them know there was never any competition, they were always gonna wind up back with each other. but they play the game anyway.

On the Scions and Sacrifice

(I am still mid-Stormblood, so no spoilers please. ❤)

Master Louisoix looms so large over all the Scions, and I feel like it's really given nearly all of them a complex where they feel like they have to be willing to sacrifice themselves should the need arise--and they're all just waiting for that moment that happened to Louisoix, that realization that there is no other choice. It might be death, it might be something else, but they're all so ready to take the bullet, literal or figurative.

We see it with Moenbryda, who says that she finally understands the choice he made seconds before she gives her life to defeat an Ascian. We see it with Yda and Papalymo, Thancred and Y'shtola, and finally Minfilia as one by one they stay behind, urging the others to go on, until only the Warrior of Light is left. We see it again with Papalymo when he gives his life to contain the primal summoned by the Griffon. We see it with Minfilia's willingness not only to hand herself over to Hydaelyn to be her voice, but to travel to a far-off star, maybe never to return, to help save a world she has never seen. We see it in Urianger acting alone to spare his friends the burden he carries for what he believes to be necessary actions. Even Alphinaud basically doesn't allow himself to be just a teenage boy and over and over keeps trying to take the world on his shoulders because he believes it's what he's supposed to do as Louisoix's grandson. Lyse in Stormblood is so ready and eager for revolution but over and over again we see the true cost of war and of resistance to overwhelming imperial power, and we are confronted with the question of what level of sacrifice is fair to ask of people who have already suffered so much and are just trying to survive.

And yes, sacrifice is noble and valiant and all that, but at the end of the day I don't think the effect is a net positive. Louisoix did what he did when there was very definitively, apocalyptically, no other choice. He probably wasn't wrong. But that doesn't mean that it's good or useful for all of his followers to be waiting on a knife's edge for the same. It makes them perhaps too ready to throw themselves to the fire, too quick to assume that a heroic sacrifice is the only choice. Because what if they assume there are other options left, and they're wrong? What if they fail to act at the critical moment? The Calamity scarred Eorzea, scarred everyone in ways both obvious and subtle, and I think this particular scar on the Scions is an ultimately negative impulse that I hope we see them find their way out of. Alisaie, notably, is not about that shit, and I look forward to her seeing what kind of influence she has upon the others.

I already know, so why won't you just say it?

[sleepstxtic]

Listen. LISTEN. Strangers to friends to best friends to lovers to soulmates to teammates to “being a part of the same team and having it destroy everything you ever built together” to rivals to enemies to “remember who we were, once? what happened?” to “leaving each other” to “one of you coming back to the site of your history even after you retire, because you can’t bear to cut yourself off from the other, from the past you shared, not completely; while the other ignores the way you still yearn for him, so public, so desperate, even if it cuts at you to stay away” to tentative civility to “in my heart he’ll always be my best friend” to “we are older now, and we can never go back, but maybe we can go forward” to “sending his children presents—and it won’t be enough, nothing will ever be enough, but it’s a start, and it’s certainly better than what it could have been otherwise” to—

Ive realized that the two main reasons I like Lokius so much are:

- Super powerful godlike entity + just a guy is like one of the best tropes ever, especially when the guy is just very sweet, heart of gold and the entity is a stranger to proper healthy affection.

- They just seem like the type where they fell in love so easily that they didn’t even notice.

for all my transmasc/nonbinary ppl out there who don't feel "masculine enough" please remember that Achilles, the greek hero, aristos achaion, best of the greeks, the man who has been praised for thousands of years as one of the best soldiers of all time, likened to Heracles and Perseus and Jason, who diverted a river out of anger and grief, the man that the gods worried would change fate itself, hid himself as a woman and the only reason he was discovered was because of Odysseus' trickery. he was feminine enough to the point that if he put on a dress and a sheer veil, no one could tell he wasn't a woman. so when you feel down about yourself and feel like you arent masculine/presenting masculinely enough, remember that Achilles would commend you for your disguise ability :)

Also the way Taylor like pushes forward into the kiss in this scene?

*chef's kiss*

Like there's always this underlying competitive nature between them, always wanting to one up each other. And like honestly, Henry kissing him was not on Alex's bingo card for New Years. But he would be damned if he wasn't going to give His Royal Shithead the satisfaction of catching him off guard, and give him a kiss that he'll always remember.
