#its honestly overwhelming

[positive-pessimistic-emo]

So you're telling me the yungblud released a new album about a month ago, sleeping with sirens and nothing more released an album on the same day for the first time in what seems like forever, blink-182 is back together and is putting out new music, black veil brides has an EP coming out on the 21st, palaye royale is also debuting a new album on the 28th, pierce the veil put out a single for the first time in 6 years AND they're supposed to have the new album out sometime soon, Paramore also released a new song, and is putting out an album in February, AND there is rumors of a 5th studio album from American Cock Band, My Chemical Romance, not to mention they are on tour?!?

The emo gods are smiling upon us 🥹

One of my biggest pet peeves is the assumption that something has to be sad for it to be tragic.

I've always been a big believer of the 'Apollo has an awful love life'/'Apollo is plain unlucky with love' line of thinking but it does bother me that the general reasoning for that statement is given to the concept of 'Apollo is somehow undesireable and thus rejected' (Cassandra/Daphne/Marpessa) or 'his lovers die young and thus their love is unfulfilled' (Cyparissus/Hyacinthus/Coronis). I personally think that's a very unfortunate way of looking at things - not only because it neglects the many perfectly cordial entanglements and affairs Apollo has had, both mortal and divine - but because it presents a very shallow interpretation of the concepts of love and loss and how loss affects people.

Apollo can still grieve lovers that have a long, healthy life. The inherent tragedy of an immortal who knows his lovers and children will die and cannot stop it does not stop being tragic simply because those lovers and children live long, fulfilled lives. The inherent tragedy of loss does not stop being tragic simply because someone knows better than to mourn something that was always going to end.

What is tragic is not that Apollo loves and loses but that loss itself follows him. Apollo does not love with the distance of an immortal, he does not have affairs and then leaves never to listen to their prayers again. He does not have offspring and then abandon them to their trials only to appear when it is time to lead them to their destinies. He raises his young, he protects the mothers of his children, he blesses the households that have his favour and multiplies their flocks that they may never go hungry. He educates his sons, he adorns his daughters and even in wrath he is quick to come to his senses and regret the punishments he doles out.

Apollo loves. And like mortals, there will always be some part of him that wishes to protect the objects of his affections. Apollo, however, is also an emissary of Fate. He knows that the fate of all mortal things is death. He knows that to love a mortal is to accept that eventually he will have to bury them. There is no illusion of forever, there is no fantasy where he fights against the nature of living things and shields his beloveds from death. Apollo loves and because of that love, he also accepts.

And that, while beautiful, is also tragic.

Hi Lexi

What do you think of partially blinded Vi? You never seem to draw her that way, and I kind of just wanted to know what do you think of it as a certified Vi lover.

I personally think that while something like this can be "cool" (as in, being beneficial to the character design), it's handled quite poor for Vi and it just looks a bit... ungrateful. Simply doesn't look good, doesn't fit her personality or character (am I missing something?) and it doesn't seem to fit or suit her...unlike Kenny's iconic eyepatch. To me, it has become a pivotal thing in his design to a degree in which Kenny with both eyes seems a bit odd looking. I see it as a symbol which stands for Ken being a martyr and all he's lost and sacrificed. He is all about family and helping those he loved, his loved ones truly were the "apple of his eye". It all makes sense, doesn't it?

But for Vi, it's excatly the opposite. I'm just so sorry to see her like this. 😭😭😭 I don't think it makes sense in any way. Louis losing his tongue because he's so talkative and "won't shut up" does kind of make sense, but I cant help but see Violet losing sight as kind of lazy writing. "We need something bad happening to her!!! suffer the children!!!'- the writers exclaimed.

i think vi losing her eyesight is incredibly impactful on her character and i honestly dont understand why some people say its lazy writing. especially since it was foreshadowed multiple times. vi losing her eyesight i think is even more impactful on her character than louis losing his tongue because at least louis still has his music to express himself and uplift spirits through (and its not like he cant communicate At All. his note still makes clem laugh). the reason i dont draw blind vi very often is because of how sad it is to me. for multiple reasons

violets whole thing is wanting to be able to protect the people she cares about, and feels immense grief and guilt about the times she feels shes failed them (thinks if she had been there with the twins that day that she couldve done something to save them. feels she failed everyone taken by the raiders. is scared of failing clem too "if something happened to you because of me? i cant lose you too. i wont". its why she cant leave minnie after shooting her. and a kidnapped vi attacks clem because she doesnt want anyone else to get hurt. hell it even ties back to her grandma and feeling guilty about not doing anything for her)

so for her to lose her eyesight? she took pride in her ability to fight and now she cant do that anymore. cant protect the people she loves. and as someone who started the season as an isolated loner, it forces her to rely on those around her for help, stripping her of her independence (and her independence is what allowed her to stand up against the group for clem when it came to the marlon situation in ep2). a blinded vi is forced into accepting community, whereas a saved violet accepts it on her own. her and clem turn ericsons into the home violet could never see it as

the other reason blind vi makes me so sad is that it is Directly a result of clems actions. kidnapped vi had nothing and wanted nothing to do with the bomb, and yet shes the ONLY ONE who gets hurt by it. clem choosing to let vi be taken means clem both breaks her heart, and then burns out her eyes. louis and his tongue is between him and lilly and was a choice THEY each made outside of clems direct influence (even if it was clem who inspired him to speak up, it is ultimately his choice to keep talking, and lilly hurts him for it. its sad he gets punished for a character moment, but clem had no direct hand in him losing his tongue. its why hes not angry to see her in the cell. he doesnt blame clem for what happened), but the way vi is feeling in that cell is DIRECTLY due to clems actions. vi feels like clem abandoned her after she had put herself on the line for her multiple times. she always had clems back but clem didnt have hers. clem is the one who planted the bomb and vi gets caught in the blast. clem hurts her emotionally And physically. and vi apologizes for getting upset (she tries to apologize on the beach too before theyre forced out in the cart, so she felt wrong for those actions immediately even tho they were understandable. lilly and minnie used her moment of weakness to get in her head. she just wanted everyone to be safe)

kidnapped blinded vi is just so incredibly sad to me, especially when you compare her to a fully realized violet. a violet who has come into herself, has confidence, has opened up, has stopped pushing people away out of fear and lets herself love again. shes a leader. a fighter. a protector. and those are all things a blinded violet loses

neither vi losing her eyes or louis losing his tongue is supposed to add anything to their characters. its about what theyve lost. both of them have important parts of their identity stripped away from them after being taken by the delta. its supposed to be sad. heartbreaking. regrettable. unfortunate. they have not gained anything by their time at the delta, only lost important parts of themselves to it

[hellsite-detective]

DETECTIVE I NEED YOUR HELP ONCE AGAIN! Ok so there is this one post I think it was from writing prompts? It was about a vampire and a fairy, the vampire had biten the fairy but they had also eaten the fairy's food, so they had both gone to court over who owed who, and the protagonist of the prompt was the lawyer. I remember it because one of the responses said "Congrats!" "on what?" "your new marriage" or something similar to that

after gettin' this case, i went straight to writing-prompt-s to see if they had any information on this particular post. lookin' for "vampire and fairy" yielded no results, and "vampire" was provin' to be too broad. i was hopin' i could avoid this, but i was gonna need to see THEM again...

i went down to the Search Bar like a disgraced knight crawling back to the king for forgiveness. i asked for "writing prompts vampire and fairy." Google scoffed at me and handed me the direct link to the original post. now this was explainin' why "vampire and fairy" yielded nothing. it's because the prompt referred to them as "fae." now, goin' into the reblogs, i quickly found the exact reply i was lookin' for.

here's your post! i hope the vampire and the fairy live happily ever after! have a great day!

Post Case: Closed

Hiii!! Welcome back to the newsies fandom!!

hii!! and tysm!! i really appreciate how incredibly sweet you all are omg 😭 <333

[bunnieswithknives]

i would like to see the uncut "room punishment" (if you dont mind)

I might be hyping it up too much but basically what happened was this:

David's pretty spoiled and doesn't do much in the way of chores. Roy tells David to clean his room and David refuses, he says that can't he doesn't know how.

Roy decides that if he doesn't want to listen then he'll lock him in his room until he does it, but David gets too overwhelmed by the thought of even starting the task and basically just shuts down and starts crying, saying that he can't do it.

This goes on like all day. Eventually breakfast and lunch pass and he still hasn't done it. Lesley is getting more and more pissed that Roy won't just relent and they get into a big argument about it where Lesley points out that he said he wanted to be better than his own father was to him, and that finally gets him to give in.
