so its really like. i love you. i love your power. i hate the source of it. i love you more than i hate it. i love you so much i'll never let you go. i love you. i love your power. i hate the thought of being away from you. i love you more than i hate that. if it means you reaching the full extent of your power i will let you go. i love you. i love you. that is a promise. that is a threat.

No cause nowadays fandom culture is sooo sensitive like i just saw someone asking why huskerdust from hazbin hotel is such a famous ship if they're a drug addict and an alcoholic so it doesnt seem very healthy...... BABES back in my day if a ship wasnt between a minor and a 30+ year old it was considered a win

jmart's relationship dynamic is actually so interesting because it takes a situation that could so easily be unhealthy - in fact, it's pretty much impossible to have a completely normal relationship under these circumstances - and does the very best it can with it. there is so so much that could go wrong in a relationship where you're both traumatized as hell, have been together for three weeks tops when the literal apocalypse starts, that apocalypse brings an incredible power dynamic to your relationship, and one of you seems determined to fulfill his martyr complex. i think it's a little bit silly to expect them not to argue. aside from the fact that a little bit of conflict is probably healthy, you cannot seriously think none of it would come up? you cannot seriously say you would be happy for none of it to be discussed?

and yet, i feel like they, for the most part, do an incredible job of communicating. it takes a bit of coaxing, but they talk about a lot of their issues, set up boundaries that they then follow, and when things do boil over they actively search each out to apologize. season five makes a really strong case for how good of a couple they could have been if only the stakes had been lesser and they'd gone through less trauma - the tragic irony of course being that that trauma is precisely what made them grow so close in the first place - and it think it's overall some really good relationship writing. a good balance between their individual characters, how those two interact, and how they interect with their current circumstances both as individuals and as a duo

One thing I weirdly enjoy about witch from Mercury, is how so many of Suletta's enemies try to play mindgames with her, but she is just entirely immune to it on account of her crushing anxiety and thorough brainwashing. It's like:

Villain: I have (doctored) proof that Miorine betrayed your trust.

Suletta (beaming like the sun): That's okay, my mom taught me that if someone you love hurts you, it means they love you; and if you're up late at night crying about it, it means you love them back 😊

You know, I get things like "don't tag your hate" to a degree, but I also think it's absurd to demand that no one ever says anything negative about the show/character/whatever that you like. People are allowed to dislike things or criticize certain aspects of them just as much as you're allowed to like those things and talk about how much you enjoy certain aspects. And you can disagree with them. That's also totally fine.

Obviously, attacking or making fun of people who have different opinions is an entirely separate matter, but it's incredibly bizarre to me when someone says, "You're not allowed to discuss what you don't like about this because I like it." In what universe is that a reasonable expectation?

Any other ADHD ppl who gets stimulation from anger and so their brain will sometimes come up with arguments to make them angry Abt or is that just me?

I know I have a habit of always keeping things to myself… But why am I still surprised when people don’t know what I know?

i have, by no will of my own, become a Burn fan. and a burn/scarlet fan. not because they’d actually be good or healthy for each other, but because the idea of that dynamic- the idea of Scarlet already having been queen for ten years prior to oasis’s death, the idea of Burn immediately allying with a SkyWing queen after her sisters declared war, the idea of them being interwoven for twenty years whilst a war of succession raged on around them- is so GREAT

very much a midnight rant here, but man!!

I would LOVE to explore Burn’s relationship with Oasis too. The books imply (especially in TBN prologue & Six-Claws’ winglet) that Burn was her mother’s favorite. And the fact that Burn expanded an entire fucking palace to create a central memorial for her mother is so!!! Like she definitely had a fucked up relationship with Oasis. Like considering Oasis had been so obsessive over heirs and had been so afraid of her daughters it would be difficult for there to be any actual relationship in the SandWing Royal Family. But there was some kind of bond between Oasis and Burn, whether because Oasis didn’t truly fear Burn- not because Burn wasn’t a danger, but because Burn was honorable- or because she genuinely cared, just a little, about one of her daughters.

And the fact Scarlet was a queen during this! The thought that Scarlet and the SkyWings could have been minor allies in the years prior to Oasis’s death (which would make sense in the fact that Burn’s first ally was the Sky Kingdom, because she would be in the best position to utilize the Sand Kingdom’s original allies before the succession crisis)

like I can’t stop thinking about a twenty-one y/o Burn being her mother’s not-so-subtle chosen heir and attending diplomatic meetings and Scarlet, a fresh queen with such a dramatic flair, meeting.

You are a Tumblr celebrity to me. The impact your Grantaire textposts had on me, age fourteen, cannot be overstated

This is a badge of honour I shall wear till the day I die

I have a strange relationship with my deadname. It's not even dead, really, not when I'm furiously trying to keep this name alive. I don't know why I won't just let it die. I hate that name, but I can't bring myself to get rid of it.

I hate getting rid of things.

My deadname has never felt like me. As far back as I can remember, it felt like a name for a stranger. I never quite knew how to feel about this stranger. I've never been sure whether this disguise felt more like a prison or a shelter.

It's always been uncomfortable that the people around me saw her, and no one saw me, but maybe that's for the best. Maybe the me hiding underneath my deadname, the me that's actually me, is something that should stay hidden. Something dark, something ugly, some kind of monster.

I know that's a horrible way to think about myself.

That doesn't mean I stop thinking about myself this way.

My deadname is dying, and I'm the one killing her, but I need to keep her alive so the monster doesn't get free.

Day 3 of the city-wide recall on all hygiene products (it's the classic Willy Wonka scenario, except the chocolate bars are toiletries and the golden tickets are joker toxin). I have become completely desensitized to body odor, but my acne's never been worse

Not to be horny on main but one of my fav underused tropes in fanfic is Bad Sub/Good Dom. And I don't mean in a bratty sub way—I literally mean a bad submissive. They're uncommunicative, they don't safe word out, and they HATE aftercare because they're punishing themself and they think they deserve it. And the dom is good at what they do; they check in regularly, they lay out everybody's rules and expectations beforehand, they know how to do things carefully—but their sub doesn't tell them when it hurts :) Doesn't let them do aftercare or even have soft convos afterward :) So the dom tends to drop hard every time their sub leaves :)))

Two people dropping at the same time but one is used to it and casually making their way home while the other is curled up a sobbing wreck on the living room floor 💔

love this part of my life where the things that are difficult but challenging and good for me are things i can stop and skip and halfass, but the things that are difficult and painful and pointless are the things i have to live with no matter what
