#identity crises

[radio-show]

Kudos to the people who saw Taylor Swift from Dungeons and Daddies being unbothered perfectly OK with his life meeting his dad and just chilling and dealing with multiple identity crisis inducing events all at the same time but being the only one of his friends ok with this situation and said "absolutely not. Let's make this boy cry." I'm not on board with it I just think it's funny people did it

Thoughts on a Monday

I’ve never been the attention-seeking kind of person. You’d find me in the back of a classroom or off to the side in a meeting. I dreaded having to stand up and deliver a speech. The night before, I wouldn’t sleep and the day of, I’d be so terrified I’d be sick to my stomach and shaking so hard my entire body trembled. Yet for some reason I dreamed of being a teacher. I knew that teachers…

Happy 4/13/2025, y'all!

If the big wigs themselves won't do it, then I guess I'll have to.

Chuckling over how this is all the same guy like you just KNOW jay will get his memories back at some point and be like. Fuuuuuuck I'm lame. I'm not cool or edgy I miss my eyeshadow :(

A mini comic of my character Ceres in the aftermath of Endwalker.

It’s not that she loathes her responsibilities as a hero but rather is mourning the loss of something she realized she loved. Because no one will quite be her mirror as Zenos became.

Dragalia Lost With A Distinct Lack of Context:

(Honestly all of Chitose's lines in this story qualify but I digress)

(Honestly, part two, all of Mym's stories are a goldmine for this and I actively have to restrain myself from showing all of it)

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

Man whose favorite animal is stray dogs…... And finds his place and role in giving one a tight collar, being the master being the framing of its whole life, giving it directives and direction. Who despite it ruthlessly releases that dog out to be masterless again, knows it to be a deep wound to inflict. Where being wanted, wanted somewhere, by someone, is the most important thing.

Kainess where just dominating and being dominated in life and agency and control is intimacy. Being acknowledged, your opinion praised or shredded. Being treated as a possession, where ownership is belonging, because the alternative is being alone, or being trash that no one wants. Kainess…….

Quoting Shroomystar: His favorite animals are stray dogs and that's what Ness is to him, an unloved stray dog, but in the end Ness does have a place to go, as loveless as it is— the true stray dog is Kaiser, after all. You were the dog in the end

Men who think of dogs as something pathetic and beneath them that they unconsciously avoid sympathetizing with despite their own proximity to it because it's too vulnerable, themselves being more dog than anyone, I love you....... Kaiser is very explicit about it, he treats other like shit to feel less like shit himself. By making someone else more dog than he is he has to confront his self-loathing less

It's the insulting demeaning emotionality of it, the implication that his feelings and desires have him on a leash, and not the reverse like he'd like to think. It's the dehumanization of it the dehumanization of being a slave to your own humanity & animality and feelings goddddd fuck. You are lower than the dogs you look down on because you have chained yourself and denied your nature, devoted yourself to hating that nature and stampling it, worse than domesticating it, killing the animal- the excitable the joyful the scared the hungry- within you. Until there's only a shell of a human left that's more rabid than the alternative could have ever been. You were the dog in the end... A lost, scared, rabid dog.

I need to become human. I won't be trash, I will be loved, loved, loved.

Stripping Away the Old

Some women keep their maiden name when they marry. The reasons are varied, but deeply personal. Meanwhile, some hyphenate the combination of last names, which is another way to hang onto the maiden name. Me, no. I hated my name because it identified me as a member of a dysfunctional family. A family in which I was ridiculed, harassed, tormented and belittled. As long as that name was mine, I…

Dante: after we broke into his base it’s not surprising Klaus put out the kill order

Zhalia: oh no I got the order before that

Dante: oh you did, when?

Zhalia: in Ireland

Dante: oh okay… I suppose the new Grange Tomb was probably quite annoying for the organisation

Zhalia: no no the tomb was the kill mission, Klaus called me on our first night there

Dante: wait… we were in Ireland for a a week… then there were two weeks before Egypt… and even then it was a week before everything took us to Romania…

Dante: it took you a month between getting the kill order and actually trying to do it seriously?!

Zhalia: I mean I kind of did some small attempts in the mean time

Dante: but not seriously?!

Zhalia: why are you mad at me for not killing you?!

Dante: if you’re gonna kill me at least do it efficiently!

i have come up with a new, extremely self indulgent AU for tfrb:

basically what happens is each individual character in tfp accidentally finds out about the rescue bots, whether it's through a ground bridge mishap, an intel scouting mission, even a situation where they get rescued.

this starts out with mostly autobots, because i assume griffin rock is either in autobot territory or a neutral/unclaimed area (or it's off the grid and nobody knows about it) (i think the last one is the funniest), but the decepticons also learn about them eventually.

now. here's where the funny/self indulgent part begins. none of them know anyone else knows. the autobots AND decepticons all assume they're the only one who knows about these bots, and that the team has been trying to live a normal, calm life away from the war.

team prime doesn't know optimus and bumblebee already know, and the decepticons don't know that these guys have connections to the war. and of course, the rescue bots always manage to worm their way into every. single. bot's. spark. all of them individually grow to care about the rescue bots, and independently decide to keep them secret. nobody wants their new friends to get hurt!

anyways shenanigans of course ensue because it's very hard to keep a previously extinct group a secret from all of your friends, and since everybody knows but doesn't know everybody knows it becomes a lot of ridiculous sneaking around and badly lying to everyone.

the rescue bots are SUPER confused by all these bots who keep showing up, but they pretty much just assume that someone spilled their secret and everyone after are all showing up to meet them. eventually i think they would start to figure everything out, but they don't fully comprehend that everyone has been trying to hide them from each other until some big reveal happens.

the way this pans out is probably the end of the war honestly, because again; no one wants these guys to get hurt, physically or emotionally, and if that means having a ceasefire so be it.

Based on my AU where Dawson (El Kabong) is a reincarnation of Quickdraw McGraw instead of just an alternate version.
