okay so yes I love the proper marriage proposal but hear me out: Buck & Tommy are just being... them, having a conversation, doing something domestic, just existing, and a comment slips out (from Buck) where he says, "What, your husband..." and he doesn't realize he's referred to himself as Tommy's husband until Tommy says something about it ("Are you proposing, Evan?") and he wasn't but also... yeah. they do have a proper proposal later but they both consider that to be The Proposal, so to speak.

About plot twists and 7x04

A good plot twist is supposed to make you go, "oh!" and then, when you look back at the facts, you're meant to be facepalming because the signs were right there and you missed them.

The end of 7x04 was not it. When you look at the whole episode, the facts do not align with the ~twist because it was actually a decoy. Buck was not trying to get T's attention, and it was built that way. After all, when questioned about it, because T himself didn't believe so, Buck's answer was, "I guess." There was no resounding "yes," no certainty because it simply wasn't the truth. After all, how was peacocking exercising in front of Eddie, getting a basketball and suggesting getting a hoop gonna get T's attention when he wasn't even in the same building? How's complaining to Maddie about Eddie's plans with T and Chris talking about T meant to get that man's attention when he wasn't around to hear any of it? Buck's actions had nothing to do with anyone other than Buck and Eddie (and Chris) and their relationship, and I think we're meant to read as much because that's what they wrote, what they showed us.

Why Buck decided to go along with the idea that he was trying to get the decoy’s attention instead of Eddie’s? I think realizing he had feelings for a man was fine in his books, but admitting who those feelings were really about was just too much, Buck’s not ready for that. This was alluded to when Maddie talked to him afterwards: the “something” that Buck needs to tell Eddie in his own time wasn’t about coming out to him but about Buck’s feelings for him.

Hey y'all, weird question time again! Is there anyway to word "I appreciate how unintimidating and unthreatening you are being" as a compliment that does not sound at all like an insult? One of my doctors is the absolute best at it, and I genuinely think it must be a skill he's deliberately cultivated, but I cannot figure out how to word it in a way that doesn't sound slightly insulting. Like, it's a good thing! A very good thing, especially in a doctor! But I cannot figure out how to word it in a way that conveys that

Favorite quote from a review of skills from testing at the disability workshop, when it came to the point about communication:

"Well.... you've gotten this far in life"

Me when the first coherent thought I have in the morning is that Grim was either abandoned or his biological parents died and the only family he has ever known are three ghosts everyone was afraid of so everybody left them alone for centuries and a human who doesn't belong who doesn't entirely fit there just like them so they were all alone until they found each other.

Ghosts tied to a space which is unsure whether they can leave or not and a human who may have somebody waiting them back home and may leave with no chance of return. Who can't take Grim with them because where they come from things such as fantasy creatures and magic only exist in fairytales so he'd either live hidden from the world or in danger of being treated as a monster and experimented on because when faced with what it's new and different the world reacts with anger and fear and want to control it and tear it apart until nothing it was before is left.

He doesn't know or understand this but MC does and that's why they would have to leave him behind. His dream of studying magic and be the greatest mage wouldn't come true on Earth, that's the reason they would tell him. It's true even though it's not the main reason why. But Grim would understand they just don't want to stay with him and prefer to leave and forget him because if they did love him they would stay.

Then again he could try to dig up in his origins and find his first family but what if time travel exists and MC from a previous timeline was who gave him the ribbon, his first gift and only possession before arriving at NRC? Meaning MC was the person his world revolved around before he even knew who they were and there was no other family he had.

Doubting the trouble squad has ever have a heart to heart conversation about Grim and MC's fates if or when they depart either because they have forgotten or pretend they aren't aware but deep down Ace and Deuce and all of MC friends know but prefer to keep ignoring it instead of confront their feelings. Grim and Malleus being the only ones who may have never think of it until the moment arrives nor accept it. Just like young children who believe their parents, their pillars, their everything that makes them feel safe, would always be there until death knocks at their door. Because MC have friends and a home in Twisted Wonderland and they need them so why would they leave?

They know MC keeps searching a way home and wondering if their loved ones misses them as much as they do and how much time have passed on their planet without knowing MC wishes they could have it all so they didn't have to choose between their previous family and the one they found there. And neither Grim or Malleus won't admit they know because thinking of it brings back the feeling of abandonment and losing everything that make them feel completed.

But the prince will have both Silver and Sebek and his grandmother for the rest of their lives with him once he returns home, people who was there from the beginning. Time to grow with them and accept they'll leave too. Everyone will graduate and go home and except special occasions each one will go their own path.

Grim will stay with somebody else but it won't be the same for him because he already had a family he wanted to keep together and failed to do so and without the dorm ghosts and MC the only thing left for him is the wound he carried before finding them opened once again that will remember him that nobody in this world can stay by his side forever so he'll stay and search a way to reunite with MC again and wonder if they miss him as much as he does and wishing MC have had everyone they loved in twst so they didn't have to choose or if they had to they had chosen him instead in the end and thinking of how all the future plans they shared and promises they made of growing old together were empty and the words that made him happy about how they loved him now hurt and they failed him and he failed to have everything he wanted and they left they left and he's thinking of them even after promising himself he wouldn't anymore a lie just like theirs and he's crying again and it hurts it hurts and

Sometimes I feel like the most naïve person ever, like I'll just accept people's opinions as facts or bow down to whatever they say without even considering challenging them, the inferiority complex is so strong that if you disagree with me with enough conviction I'll probably believe that you're right and I'm wrong

I'm so easy to gaslight and manipulate it infuriates me

how to love yourself in 22 steps

most likely not a perfect guide but here's something you can base your strategies off of

make a list of your favorite things

color? food? drink? clothing? place?

now go and do/find/wear/eat those things

like wear your fav sweatshirt, be around your fav people (if possible), do your fav activity, etc

now once you've done that

chill

relax

give yourself a break; like try meditating or something

no screens, no thoughts, no nothing. just you and a blanket, pillow, or maybe a stuffed animal.

none of this working?

option one: keep this up for a week, maybe a bit longer, sometimes self love takes time

option two: if you've already done option one, maybe try to get someone who can help you through your problems

depending on the severity of the problems, it could be a friend, sibling, parent, or your therapist

also please add the things that work for you to this

everyone is different

some people say that that's a bad thing

they can shut the fuck up

being different is fine and modifying lists like this is recommended

also try to distance yourself from bad things, or things that remind you of hard times. sometimes you can't do this (ex if the bad thing is your mom or dad and you're a minor), and that's ok, just try to establish some sort of boundary.

you might have to learn to filter people out (not just ignoring them, just completely forgetting their existence entirely). it's a skill i have that sometimes does more harm than good, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures.

wishing you luck on your journey. dms are always open for venting, and no i do not give a shit if you are a stranger. if you want to vent, go for it.

love you all a lot <333

Of course, it is completely clear you love Valdanglo (there my. OTP) but now Im curious about your opinion on Solangelo I just can’t seem to get into them no matter how hard I try

chiscolini, I have so much to say on this matter, and very little of it is good.

so, I've said this in the past, and I'll argue it again, I'm sure, but as far as HOO was concerned (I didn't read TOA past the first few chapters, and thus reserve my judgement), there was nothing cannon abt it.

Now, it's 2 am so I'm not gonna dig for my book copy rn (maybe if I'm still feeling this fired up when the sun wakes up) but let's see the 2 (two) scenes we get of the duo.

First, the exchange after Will helped coach Hedge's girlfriend with the baby (my head says she was called mellie but I'm pretty sure that's wrong). this one was just weird, and though it implies the two have talked beforehand, everything we've known abt Nico's experience at camp makes the reassurances fall short.

for me, his whole speach felt ripped from one of those fics where the characters' problems are solved through the power of loveTM and not in a good way, you know?

and then there's scene número two, which is just Will making sure Nico actually gets treated?? and it's like, right after Nico finally managed to face Percy????

which, combined with the previous scene made the whole thing feel kind of forced???? Almost like Nico needed to have a new romantic interest in order to face Percy? Like it legit takes from that scene, you could've left the whole thing out, just have Nico do something else during the first part, and just have the scene between Nico and Jason be the one that signals him making friends now????

like, I loved that scene, it felt sincere, but only because we'd been seeing the two become close!!! because that closeness happened on screen!!!!!!!

With Will, the whole making sure he gets treated feels like a nice sentiment, at most, and if the two had been presented platonically in the following books, and later built into romantic within the plot, maybe I'd be less judgemental of the ship.

As it was though, there was nothing substantial to them? I actually never understood the appeal?? I like, thought it was a crack-ship until I saw screenshots of TOA tbch.

but since it's the cannon gay ship, it felt very much like everyone suddenly jumped ship and then became really fucking toxic abt it.
