you won't be "too much" for the people who are right for you. you'll be good enough and you'll be loved for the things others didn't value in you.

I will never understand why most of the men in Buffy who hate “not being able to support her” because she’s stronger and way more physically capable don’t embrace the ways that they can support Buffy. Like Xander hating being donut boy? Riley being bitter that he was left to help around the house, being handed the perfect malewife opportunity?? Couldn’t be me. I’d pack Buffy little bags of snacks for patrol. I’d become a pro at getting blood stains out of clothing. She’d come back from patrol, rugs already vacuumed, soup on the stove, and I’d be like “hi honey how was the violence the death and violence looked fun was it fun?”. I’m gay btw.

whenever will has a bad day at work (or just a bad day in general), and he's just sitting on the couch and sulking, mike will put on will's current favorite song and ask him to dance really stupidly formally like they do at weddings. will always rolls his eyes and pouts and refuses at first - until he sees mike, his wonderful amazing beautiful boyfriend, busting out his absolute cringiest dance moves to their favorite the cure song or whatever else and singing along to said song horrifically off key in the middle of their living room. and then mike extends his hands to will and forcefully pulls him up off the couch and twirls him around and dips him down to kiss him like he's the most special boy in the world (because he is. Obviously) and will can't pout anymore because mike's hands are so big and warm in his own and it's just them, being stupid and silly and crazy together in their tiny little one bedroom apartment and dancing along to all of their favorites. before the first song even finishes, though, will finds himself singing and dancing along too and twirling mike back because mike's dopey little grin is so damn infectious that he just. can't help it.

and this is how mike develops the Tried And True Method To Turn Will's Frown Upside Down (pun not intended) that he still continues even when they're older and married, because they're still stupid kids at heart and love each other so much that it needs to be shared in every way possible ❤️

I really, really love video games… just been feeling kind of sad by how many interesting games exist out there and I can’t keep up, I’m never gonna experience and get into all of them in a lifetime. I wish I could devote my whole life to just experiencing games

i do think it's odd when people talk abt r's lycanthropy as though it is somehow offensive to like....acknowledge or emphasize the fact that he is a werewolf at all. like i think it's weird when people say that it's gross or harmful to write lycanthropy (which is, of course, a fictional disease that is an allegorical tool for exploring themes related to disability) in a way where r is written with "wolfish" traits, or he or the people around him refer to him as a werewolf or just in any way emphasize that being a werewolf is part of who he is.

and i'm not trying to overstate this like it's a huge issue, because at most it's just like. a couple people making posts online, y’know? but i just think it's odd when i do see people say stuff like "don't refer to him as a beast/wolf/etc!!! he's a person!!" or act like it's disgusting for lycanthropy to alter his characterization at all to make him more "beastly"

because like. ok. what we have here is lycanthropy as a chronic illness that is vilified + stigmatized by the wider wizarding world. and typically in fics remus has a very negative view of his own lycanthropy since he's grown up in a society that tells him he's a monster. so if the response to that is "don't emphasize that he's a werewolf at all by giving him negative werewolf traits!!!" it's like....that is. exactly the message that we are supposed to be questioning if we're going into this allegory with a critical reading. bc u are also now treating being a werewolf like it's a bad thing.

like if u think it's an actual issue for him to be portrayed in a way where he is more wolfish/beastly....why? who's saying that those things are bad? why is it so important for him to be portrayed as "civilized" rather than "monstrous," and who in this context is qualifying what counts as "civilized" vs. "monstrous?" why is monstrosity diametrically opposed to humanity/personhood in the first place?

obviously this is all fanfiction and if somebody wants to write r's lycanthropy so that he's just a werewolf once a month + otherwise isn't that affected by it, or is only affected in ways that are easy to deem sympathetic (ie, he gets hurt + has to spend time in the hospital wing but he never exhibits any kind of aggression or "animalistic" or "beastly" qualities otherwise) then that's fine. and i'm also not saying that he has to be written as like hyper-dominant alpha wolf beastman either--i don't necessarily think that's the only possible interpretation for how lycanthropy might manifest in traits outside the full moon. it's more just that i think it's weird when people moralize about like...."playing into werewolf stereotypes" lol bc. again werewolves aren't real. but also in the context of lycanthropy as allegory, the goal is not to say "you can't write those traits related to disability bc it's a negative stereotype," which does nothing to question why it's a negative stereotype and ultimately just reinforces the idea that those traits are something negative. the goal is to use the allegory to explore how people who fit "negative stereotypes" of disability navigate an ableist society that stigmatizes them + insists that the only path to acceptance is to hide their disability as best they can + assimilate, while simultaneously making assimilation an impossible goal.

okay deeply unpopular opinion time. dogs. are gross. frankly it's unhinged that in our society it's normal to have an animal that for no reason runs around your house, gets hair on everything, smells bad, throws up on the floor, jumps on people, massively restricts the flexibility of your schedule, and goes to the bathroom in your yard which you then have to PICK UP with gloves and baggies. dogs are incredible animals that can be very smart and endearing but they need to have jobs, not just exist in your 500sq ft apartment to bark at and jump on your guests. "haha sorry he's just so excited to see people!!" no. he's just totally untrained and its not CUTE why do you think it's CUTE. *drops something while cooking* "haha its fine the dog will get it :)" susan. why is it ok that an animal is going to lick food of the ground. you know that doesn't make the floor clean, right. susan. SUSAN,

I saw you reblog that post about gay sex and dying like 4 times and was like “is she okay???” But then I read the tags and it’s about Gideon the Ninth. And yeah, that’s an appropriate reaction. Carry on, have fun

What if mold simply doesn't know how to human?

Let's say there're 3 types of the infected:

- molded (mold completely overtakes the body)

- controlled by Evie (e.g. Jack, Marguerite and Mia)

- conscious (e.g. Lucas and Ethan)

As it was stated in the game, mold is very defensive.

Take Lucas' case for example. He already feels threatened, unloved and unhappy. Mold simply takes on these emotions and also amplifies the already existing mental illness, leading to extremely violent behaviour.

In Ethan's case, he doesn't feel unsafe. Therefore, mold doesn't act up during the break between re7 and re8.

If we talk about Jack, Marguerite and Mia, their violent behaviour is caused by Eveline. Evie's case is similar to Lucas'. She was deprived of family and love since birth, which obviously made her traumatized and unhappy. Mold inside her tried to compensate this unhappiness by protecting Evie from everyone who tries to harm her and also by giving her comfort in creating a new family for her. However, Evie doesn't know what family should be or feel like. Her frustration activates mold's defensive mechanisms, which leads to violent behaviour in Mia and the Bakers.

In addition, mold itself might have trouble grasping the concept of humanity. After infection, it acquires all of its host's memories, but it struggles to properly execute human behaviour. This might also be the reason for exaggerated facial expressions seen in the Bakers (especially Lucas). Mold is trying to figure out emotions, affection, love and human connection, but fails miserably.
