#longer (and possibly triggering) rant incoming:

[lauraisakilljoy]

I know most of the käärijä-related things I’ve posted/reblogged are literally memes but on a serious note all those posts about our silly little finnish man make me so happy. for years I've been struggling with body dysmorphia and disordered eating (especially around this time of year) and it's fucking terrible but everyone hyping up käärijä and his normal-looking body is just so nice to see. he's really out there saying everyone should just wear whatever they want no matter their body type + his fans love him exactly the way he looks and are being so body positive. hugging all of you rn

thinking about how we never have an actual flashback from the Ouyang clan execution and how that adds to the unreliability of Ouyang's narrative about his life and death. [sorry, long rant incoming bc i have feels]

Especially in regards to the scene when Ouyang is tasked with execution of Zhang Jr.: he thinks that he willingly chose to avenge his father and to bear the suffering of his fate when he was 10. But did he?

''He was giving him a chance for his death to have meaning. He should be grateful", he thinks in regard to Zhang Jr. So did he himself just stay alive for his death to have meaning? Or - what I suspect - did he just invent all this a posteriori to justify his will to live?

Apart from the fact that the scene with Ouyang killing Zhang Jr. is one of the most memorable in HWDTW for me for the layers that it has, it highlights one of the most fascinating facets of Ouyang: his will to live vs. his deathwish.

Obviously as his whole arc is about falling downhill, we as readers don't see much of the former, while the latter is in abundance especially in HWDTW. But nevertheless this tension is very much there.

As I said, we don't see - even through Ouyang's eyes - what went down that fateful day of the massacre; did he really beg for his life to avenge his family or just for the sake of it. But personally - I'm betting for the latter. Like, come on, he was 10 AND - more importantly - he DIDN'T know that Chaghan would have him castrated as he begged for mercy. He had no idea what the consequences would be. He might have thought about revenge; it's evident that even at 10 yo, the masculine ideals were already drilled into him. But he DIDN'T choose that with full awareness; it's something he told himself over the years to justify his will to live.

And I think this is the deepest root of his shame: that he so desperately wanted to live he could do anything. Him being an eunuch was shameful too, but not so much as the fact that he PREFERS it to being dead. This is what Chaghan calls him out on and this is why the scolding is such a turning point (something I didn't catch at first): Ouyang realizes that if he wants to live free of shame and justify his existence, he must have his revenge. But to do that - ironically - he must destroy himself.

The excuse he came up with over the years to make up for his will to live is that he is a tool of revenge; he is allowed to exist as long as he is this tool. Where the tragedy lies is that he never allowed himself to imagine that he could exist after his revenge is complete. Which is, I think, part of the reason why it took him so long to start plotting it: he wanted to live. He wanted to be with Esen. (The passage "He felt a surge of hatred towards the monk. [...] Without him, how much longer might Ouyang have had with Esen?" is one of the most heartbreaking in SWBTS imo). And I think that deep down he didn't even think his revenge was actually doable.

"[...] the monk had triggered the start of his journey towards his purpose. He couldn’t find it in himself to be grateful. It felt like a violation. A theft of something he hadn’t been ready to give up. Not innocence, exactly, but the limbo in which he could still fool himself that other futures were possible."

I think that these ''other futures'' were futures in which the opportunity for revenge never came; not so much as in ''his enemies were dead by other means'', but as in "Ouyang kept waiting but he just didn't get to meet the Khan" etc. And I think that in his mind, it would have been the best possible option - he could keep on living, waiting for the opportunity that somehow never came, but hey, his excuse of being a tool for revenge was still valid, right?? nobody could tell him that he didn't want it or forgot! he just didn't have the opportunity! oh, such bad luck, sorry not sorry. (And one day he would have died on the battlefield, possibly in Esen's arms, and it would be the best life he could have imagined).

But Zhu gives him the opportunity and he feels he must act on it, which means that his excuse for existing will soon be no longer valid, and it makes him so angry. I still don't get why he couldn't imagine a life after revenge; possibly because despite everything he LIKED this life - or, at least, liked it more than the alternative. Revenge meant destroying everything he enjoyed: his life as a general of the Yuan, and - more importantly - Esen. He probably didn't imagine a life for himself after revenge not only because he thought himself a tool to be discarded, but also because he didn't see in there anything worth living for. And this is when his deathwish comes in. It practically appears as soon as Esen is dead; and the rest is history, with Ouyang's ''I have to live because I must have my revenge and I sacrificed too much for it to walk away now!". But still, it strikes me how at the beginning of SWBTS he's clinging to life as he knows it despite it not being ideal, and how in HWDTW he is awaiting death eagerly.

And - circling back to Zhang Jr. - this is why Ouyang kills the boy: for Zhu it might have been tying up loose ends, but Ouyang at this point sees that staying alive wasn't worth it. He does what is better for the boy in his opinion; he even lets him die with honour, something he himself wants. He wishes he had chosen death all these years ago.

absolutely tweaking rn, so rant incoming about the horror fandom, specifically tcm lol. mostly writing this because of a post i've seen today and some recent events

content warning for triggering topics and the discussion of antis and proshippers

both antis and proshippers are two sides of the same coin, and both are driving me up the walls. antis don't know how to defend their cause and proshippers are gross. my god, when i hear the argument of "you're fine with murder but draw the line at x?" holy shit dude. and usually x are those taboo, problematic topics but the ones i'll be focusing more on are incest and necrophilia.

breaking down that argument, last time i checked, no one actually thinks murder is okay. where's the horror in horror if violence is portrayed as a good thing. it's more tolerated than incest or whatever, why? because murder can have a reason— necrophilia, sexual assault, incest, etc, cannot. do any of those reasons make it okay? absolutely not, but there's the possibility of an explanation. in the case of texas chainsaw massacre, they're doing it to survive. maybe not johnny (which is someone i'll come back to later), but they're planning to eat their victims. they could've turned to a less drastic option, yeah, but hey it's fiction. whatever's necessary for an interesting plot.

speaking of fiction, the argument of "it's fiction not reality" also sucks in its own right. fiction usually has elements we take from reality, most things we make are based off of reality somehow. again, we have the antis that harass people that enjoy villains being villains and we have proshippers that actively romanticize incest, pedophilia and shit. gotta tap the sign that says "people that enjoy villains and evil characters do not condone their actions" for antis and the sign that says "whatever you support in fiction is a reflection of who you are as a person, a person based in reality" for proshippers. besides, do any proshippers have siblings? i really hope they don't as someone who has a brother lol

and it's not that you shouldn't write anything with problematic topics, it's all about the delivery and intent. write toxic relationships, but don't act like it's a healthy couple. the post i've seen that prompted me to write this bullshit down mostly had the coffin of andy and leyley context to it and well— it's clearly written to be fucked up. does it make it good writing? depends, to me it comes off as incest written solely for the edgy shock value as of now but who knows. want a good example of problematic topics written well? go look at lolita by vladimir nabokov or something

anyway back to johnny, i've seen him being called a rapist, a necrophile, even being shipped with sissy. leave the bastard alone LMFAO. i can't deny that johnny being a rapist doesn't seem like a farfetched assumption, but at the same time, what the hell happened to boundaries? i don't care if people are into it, it's a problem when it's tossed around like canon lore and shoved into people's faces instead of treated as a private nsfw headcanon. surprise, people can enjoy horror without having their boundaries ignored just because they like horror.

getting a little petty here, but the whole necrophile drama really grinds my gears because a) it doesn't really make sense to johnny's character and b) it started because someone got the definition of necrophilia wrong. johnny's a narcissistic asshole that kills for fun— there is no power in sexually assaulting a corpse. the fun's over when a victim is no longer able to cower in fear and give any pain response. being turned on by killing people isn't necrophilia, hope this helps. even searched up on the classifications of necrophilia (insane how there's classification for that) for how they described johnny being a necrophile, and none of them fit

anyway that's basically everything, we'll see if i get pissed off enough again to rant about new dumb arguments

{george robinson, twenty-eight, cis man, he/him} || simon orwell is a mutant with the ability of hellhound physiology. they’ve been in new york for ten years where they spend most of their time as a novelist. when i think of them, i think of hellfire of the holy, finding blessings in curses, the sun shining on a grave.

it’s’a me, a’may’rio ! new muse who dis want 2 make a disclaimer that i am not paraplegic. while i’ve been doing a lot of research so i can portray his disability as accurately and sensitively as possible, if y’all ever see me doing sumn wrong!! pls feel free 2 call me out on it!! research is not quite the same as experience

QUICK FACTS:

full name: simon george orwell (luv that for him)

date of birth: march 14th, 1969

zodiac big three: pisces sun, libra moon, sagittarius rising

gender & pronouns: cis man & he/him

sexual orientation: bisexual (pls let it be known that he can still feel pleasure)

enneagram: 4w3

mbti: infj

temperament: phlegmatic

ability: hellhound physiology

affiliation: brotherhood

alias: cerberus

various inspirations: tbd !

BACKSTORY:

triggers: brief mention of alcoholism, paralysis (paraplegia), i still forgot the word for kids getting kicked out akfjdsl

born and (mostly) raised in north carolina, for some years, simon never knew ‘want.’ it wasn’t that his parents were rich -- nothing of the sort -- rather that his mother would do anything for her sons and daughter. 

their father was not quite as doting, spending more of his time drinking his hatred away than hanging out with his wife and children. if he didn’t... who knows what would happen!

that said, simon was raised to believe that mutants were a species to be feared. ‘they’ll look at you with blood-thirsty eyes,’ so said his mother. but it was not for general hatred -- her own mother had been killed at the hands of one, a brotherhood member, and she’d been left with permanent scarring on her back. his father, on the other hand, simply wanted something he was allowed to hate.

so imagine how unfortunate -- in many ways -- simon found himself when his brother, ian, dared him to dive into a pool using their tiny trampoline... and he ungracefully followed through and dove into the water that was... much shallower than he had perceived. a terrible sensation spread, and then...

his mutation came forth, randomly and suddenly taking the form of a hellhound as a trauma response. in this form, his spine was immediately healed, but when he was quickly and involuntarily snapped back to his original form? to a human? nothing.

the doctors did all they could, but when he came to and they’d given up, he found himself completely paralyzed from the waste down with limited mobility in his arms. he could move his hands. he could move his head. he could move his neck. he could move his forearm. and, with concentration, he could move the rest of his arm. well enough to not be considered quadriplegic!

fortunate that his parents had not seen his transformation, unfortunate that he had no clue what had happened. fortunate that he could move like normal when in his new form, unfortunate that he turned any time the slightest pain was felt in one of his non-numb/paralyzed areas. finally, his ian told him his own secret: while their sister was human (as far as they knew), he was also a mutant. biokinesis, the ability to manipulate life. quite strong, quite invisible.

he told him of this organization -- the brotherhood -- that believed in mutant superiority... to which simon was like ‘didn’t one of those mutants scar mom and kill grandma?’ to which... he confirmed, but waved off. ian was considering joining, if he could find a way, and he encouraged simon to do the same.

that said, simon still had a deep-seated fear and slight hatred towards mutants. it wasn’t something he found himself able to believe in until he was sitting in the family room, watching some program that he can no longer remember, and felt a burn on his hand from his sister accidentally dropping a hot plate. 

hyperbolic trauma response: he turned into a hellhound. his parents were terrified, his sister was curious, and ian... had an odd look of pride. to make things worse, he accidentally used a subpower he didn’t even know he had and induced fear. when he was human again, his loving mother insisted that he leave. and, just to prove a point, ian used his powers -- something he had honed much better than simon -- to rot the apple on his sister’s tray (and she just looked more pissed off than afraid or angry at the two).

somehow, they found themselves in new york. with a wad of cash and unfulfilled dreams, they settled down. ian was forced into the role of his caretaker (which is why he’ll remain an npc, rip), something that felt somewhat humiliating at first but... after a while, just natural.

ian aided in simon honing his ability. and when he finally did? he’d now garnered enough hatred in his heart to truly consider his brother’s suggestion. unlike his brother, he wasn’t murder-happy, but remembering his parents... thinking about all the ways others thought of him in his hellhound form... thinking about the essex house and how that could’ve been him... thinking about the way he was actually fortunate to have the ability -- how his world would be so small without it... 

as kind of an aside, he purchased a dictation recorder to begin spilling his guts a la novels. fiction? sure! based on real life? sure! non-fiction? ...masked as fiction, sure! and, while it wasn’t the steadiest income, he would... occasionally lie and say he was related to george orwell... which would encourage publishing companies to sign, and encourage even more people to buy his novels.

five years ago, he joined the brotherhood with ian. while he isn’t too fond of murder, in his hellhound form, his predator instinct amplifies his hatred tenfold. as a hellhound, he’s so down for murder! and as a human, he’s... down for ranting about them and helping come up with plans.

CONNECTION IDEAS:

his sister ! i love family connections. with his brother being his caretaker, i pretty much have to leave him as an npc, but i think his sister would be really fun ! could be a mutant, could just be curious and... not furious. she clearly did/does not hate them to the same degree as their parents, something that simon and his brother picked up on.

brotherhood besties ! give him some people from the brotherhood who are like ‘yeah, i’m down with murder, but i’m not down down. i feel u!’

brotherhood peer pressure ! they think it’s pretty lame that he’s down for helping with the plans, but has to actually go into his hellhound form to be down with murder :\

neighbors ! he lives on the first floor of the silverhouse apartments. quite frankly, these are the people who probably know him ( in his human form ) the best.

friends from when he first arrived ! as it says on the tin !

fans of his books ! maybe they believe he’s a distant relative... maybe they don’t... but either way, they like his books.

exes ! he doesn’t have the chance to get into many serious relationships, but these two provided him with that. he felt desired... which was nice. no matter what terms they’re on, he’ll always be thankful for that. ( 1/2 )

open to so much more ! besties, ppl who ask him too much so he likes 2 lie 2 them, ‘so if you’ve got hellhound physiology, does that mean hell is real?’ ‘idk!’, etc, etc, HERE FOR IT ALL!!

this is gonna be a long and probably incoherent vent post

we are so tired of bein treated subhuman by the ppl we are forced to live with/around on a daily basis. they regularly infringe on our basic human rights. and no, this isnt just being melodramatic, this is a real and serious issue that happens all the time to us and our partner system. we are denied basic human rights by the ppl we have to live with. they simultaneously treat us like children when it comes to us trying to be independent and do things for ourselves or them trying to order us around, and “lazy” adults when it comes to things we actually need help with, when it comes to our disabilities, etc. 

just recently, Midnight’s (partner system) bio grandma left on a trip to Costa Rica for around two weeks and instead of leaving her car here for us, the people who live here and would have no transportation otherwise and are disabled and have no income so we cant just uber or something, she leaves it with their bio brother who lives half an hour away and has absolutely no need for it. and we know for a fact that she did this as an exertion of control over us while she wasnt here. 

this woman is abusive. she always has been. physically, verbally, emotionally, yes every way possible, she is. we are purposefully leaving off the more triggering kinds but it is implied and you would be correct in assuming. 

she regularly exerts control over us. she refuses to allow us to drive her car, backing it up with a paper thin flimsy excuse that we “arent on her insurance” but neither is Midnight’s siblings and she hands them the keys without batting an eyelash about it. She regularly denies us access to things and gives some half baked lie as an excuse and doesnt even try to make it believeable, either because she thinks we’re that stupid or because she knows theres not really anything we can do about anyway so why try. 

she also regularly whines about how “poor” she is but she really isnt. we have seen bank statements stating she has $20k in the bank (recent ones). she literally just dropped $7k on an unnecessary trip to Costa Rica to pay out of pocket for dental implants that she doesnt need. like. ur 84 years old just get dentures like the “common folk.” but no shes so poor. not only that but shes also about to take yet another trip down to go to an extended family members wedding, yet she complained about paying $180 for Midnight’s YEARLY phone bill :/ 

shes also just really disgusting. she will legit go in the trash can and take out used paper towels and reuse them. she regularly rifles through the garbage to make sure we didnt throw away something she can “reuse.” its so gross. her kitchen was legit full of expired food that we recently threw out while she was gone because she wouldnt let us while she was here, claiming it was still edible. we are talkin molded cheeses, cans from 2017 (acidic contents), improperly packaged meat from 2020... 

and everyone else around here treats her like she cant do any wrong and like she never has when that is just factually untrue. theyre all rude af to us and try to command us to bend over backwards for this bitch and it just aint happening. we are getting really sick and tired of being treated this way and we arent really sure what to do or whats gonna happen. we dont have anywhere else to go but we certainly cant stay here for much longer.

anyway rant over for now i guess im just really upset and needed to get it out somewhere. i know its disjointed and incomprehensible but oh well. i guess it isnt necessarily for reading so much as it is for just talking. but if you do read it then haha oof

[cheseyre]

good news, sluts! my brain's no longer being completely stupid (only mostly), i've seen the new asides and...have some thought-y thot thoughts:

*deep inhale*

Okay, first things first: this art style is soooo fucking cUTE and I'm a jealous, squealing bitch. Anyone who knows who the artist is, could you link me to them, stat? I think Thomas mentioned them at the beginning of the ep, but nYeh, brain hurt, doesn't wanna do wooork-

Okay, I'll admit, I was a little...apprehensive when I first saw the thumbnail and title. Part of it's just me being a bitter Remus Stan, but also...okay, deep breaths, controversial opinion time, get ready:

I don't ship Prinxiety.

Like, at all. 

I can see the appeal, and these dorks were so very, VERY cute in this particular ep, but I was honestly turned off by the ship long ago due to how overwhelmingly popular it is and how some fans characterize these two and treat this relationship as if it's the only valid one, y'know, the works—slight tangent, but that's also why I don't ship Logicality or Remile. I honestly vibe much better with ships like Roceit or Analogical, y'know?

Cutting in for another brief tangent: I'm surprisingly okay with Demus/Dukeceit/Receit/Trashnoodle/Whatever-Their-Ship-Name-Is-Oh-God-Why-Do-They-Have-So-Many-Fucking-Names; maybe it's cause they haven't actually interacted in canon and the fan content gives me such good Gay Disney Villain content, idk man im weird—).

Still, their interactions were both hilarious and sweet and like I said, I see the appeal, it's just not my cup of tea. y'all Prinxiety fans got fucking FED and I'm happy for you nerds. Enjoy ze happy boys!

I guess another factor in my...low-key hesitance when I first saw what the ep was about is that...okay, get ready, another controversial opinion, le gasp: well, I'm not a big Virgil fan. In fact, at times, he swaps places with Patton as my least favorite sides—especially with some of his recent behavior in eps like DWIT (the "prohibit your breathing comment" really triggered me, for example). Sometimes, his attitude, especially around other sides like Roman or Janus, reminds me a little too much of my sister, who I don't have...a very good relationship with. Add to that how the more...intense side of the fandom has a disturbing tendency to turn him into the 'uwu precious woobie emo baby who can do no wrong' while unnecessarily villainizing other CERTAIN sides in the process, and...I think you all see where I'm going with this little rant 😅

However, upon actually watching the ep, he wasn't...that bad? I don't think? I enjoyed watching him be a flustered, disaster-y mess and genuinely excited at the end, his interactions with Roman were nice enough, and him literally pushing Thomas to make a move with Nico despite his obvious panic attack was a nice moment of genuine character development. I like seeing that, that's the good shit right there. And him being all flustered and shit, and smiling so much at the end of the vid was just...well, adorable. This man has no fucking right to be this cute, my god

alsoooo 

pURPLE EYESHADOW

PURPLE EYESHADOW HE LOOKS?? SO GOOD?? WTF?? SLAY EMO, SLAAAAAAAY FUCK, DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE TO CHANGE MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME NOW?

alsoooo 

hAPPY ROMAN

YESSSSS~ MAH BOI MAH SON MAH DUMB BITCH HIMBO PRINCE MAH EXTRA MESSY CINNAMON ROLL

ITS  BEEN SO  LONG

AND HIS LITTLE HEART EYES THROUGHOUT THE VID, OH MY GOD-

IMMA JUST IGNORE THAT "ADDING [MISTAKE] TO THE LIST" COMMENT I AM LOOKING AWAY I DO NOT SEE IT LALALALALA

THOMATHY, SIR, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT MAKING THESE TWO GAY IDIOTS SO BAEBY

Okay, but Virgil not realizing that "cyberstalking in real life" is literally just stalking is both a big ass mood and further proof that, yes, Logan is indeed the only one holding the braincell out of this disaster of a lot. God help them all if he ducks out in the next ep.

👀

And Thomas x Trash Can is my new OTP.  I dub thee ✨ "Trashmas" ✨

we sTAN TRASHMAS

Wait, does that mean Remus actually WAS in the ep? Cause, y'know, trash man?

hmmm

👀 👀 

Okay, okay. 

With how much Virgil and Roman were going off about Thomas constantly lying, I was (understandably) a tad bit disappointed my snek son didn't even make a fucking cameo, but y'know what? In hindsight, I'm okay with this it's fineee~

He was just off playing with shadow puppets and stealing money from us desperate, content-starved peasants with his sheer extra-ness and, honestly? Gotta respect the hustle. 

Get that precious, precious coin, dapper snake! Wring us poor losers dryyyy!

*evil snek laugh*

Also, this is a breather ep and adding Janus in probably would've caused unnecessary drama with the Roceit breakup and the constant antagonism between Virgil and him. It probably would've distracted from the point of the ep (flirting with social anxiety, exactly what it says in the tin)—much like it wasn't really Virgil or Remus's place to show up during POF. Does that make sense? I think it makes sense. Sorry, brain going brr-

Still, I can't believe the "Fuck Janus Sanders" Club is actually canon now 😂

God, first Patton in a skirt and now this. 

Thomas Sanders, you delight in fucking feEDING this gremlin nest of a fanbase, don’t you? You RELISH our screams of joy and pain and suffering, dON’T YOU?

What's next, actual canonical Janus and Remus interaction? Patton saying the fuck word? The Dragon Witch comes back? Janus's bowler hat gains sentience and takes over the world, Doris-style? What do you have planned, Thomas? Joan? WHAT ART THOU PLANNING, I MUST KNOW YOU HEATHENS YOU FIENDS-

And Virgil's little "would it be fair to him" comment, tho.

👀

Like, I get in the context of the ep, he was likely talking about Nico and how it wouldn’t be good for a potential relationship with Tomas to be founded on lies, but still...my anxceit heart aches, man. 

Gimme that sweet, sweet angst with a side of mutual regret and possible future reconciliation and maybe something more wink wink nudge nudge on top, pls

...and fries.

Honestly, tho, that entire bathroom monologue was fucking beautiful, man. And relatable, too—i can't tell you how many times I've talked to myself in public restrooms because I just didn't know how to get the words I wanted to say out. It's...kind of embarrassing, tbh

Speaking of embarrassing, uh, crying stall guy.

Just...

Crying Stall Guy

Like, I was expecting someone to come out the bathroom stall after Thomas stopped talking, but...I honestly wasn't expecting that. God, that whole scene was so cringe worthy and fucking hilarious

Honestly, Thomas in the ep in general was a huge ass mOOD and we collective gay/bi disasters ALL related with him, and if you say you don't, you're either lying to yourself or a demon. 

There is no in between 

sorry I don't make the rules

Like, I get this series is literally a gay disaster talking to himself for thirty minutes or longer, but like- EMPHASIS on the 'disaster' part 😂

Like...Thomas, you're lucky you're such a goddamn bean, because GOD, I cringing so hard when he first started talking to Nico

Although, I too have apologized profusely for genuine mistakes and am a flustered bi mess around my crush sooo

😅

And god, Roman's "thirty = old man" jokes made me feel old...and I literally just turned twenty, like, come on, man!

Maybe that's because I was literally watching this ep after finishing my ACT and had been sitting with a bunch of high schoolers, with their tiny fucking desks and tiny fucking water fountains smeh

*clears throat*

Anyways, uh, we STAN Nico Pintrovert Florés in this house

Like

He gives me such big Carlos from WTNV vibes for some reason and this makes me sooo happy

and YESS, he's a WRITER

And he's??? So sweet?? A pure bean?? Just sits on his laptop at the mall food court all day, like a god-fucking iCON?? A Nightmare Before Christmas fan?? weARS GLASSES??

my hEART

*cries*

The fandom seems torn between "Nicomas" and "Karrot Kings" as a ship name atm—personally speaking, I'm casting my vote for the latter

*crosses fingers* please dont be another janus x remus multiple ship name issue guys, please please please I can't keep track of them all-

*clears throat*

On that note, I'm guess I'm gonna go try and whoo over my crush with carrots now. If THIS disaster can do it and make it actually fucking work, god damnit, so cAN I

Meanwhile, in hell, my brain's just screaming "CANON LOVE INTEREST CANON LOVE INTEREST CANON LOVE INTEREST-"

God, I hope Nico isn't just a one-shot character, he's too pure and Thomas and him are adorable gay Disney fans and I stan

Oh, I wonder how the other sides'll react to him.

Wait.

Oh god.

Oh god.

This ep just unleashed a new fresh hell of potential Nico x Sides ships, hasn't it?

Welp, time to prepare for ze incoming flood of fanfics, I guess. I'll get my umbrella and rain boots.

That last shot of Virgil during the endcard was so fucking ominous oh my god mom im scared can you come pick me up-

Goddammit, Thomas and Joan, I'm NOT fucking ready to be traumatized again, fUCK

I wish I wasn't a broke ass university student so I could contribute to Thomas's gloriously extra Patreon—both so I can support my favorite content creators who make this amazing blessed content and also, to join my boi Janus in fucking  destroying society by giving money to the people who actually deserve it, fuck YOU GOVERNMENT-

Okay. 

Okay. 

New headcanon time as to why Patton, Remus, and Logan weren't in the ep: they were helping Jan film that Patreon promotional video. 

Like

Remus directed it, Logan helped with the lighting and script, and Patton was just there as the cheerleader. 

The reason Janus made a dog with shadow puppets wasn't just to flaunt his deity status and prove how he is truly above us mere wretched mortals 

despite that being the absolute truth and we all know it, don't lie to yourselves

No, it was really him trying to do something cute and silly for Patton, because Moceit rights, daMMIT

*inhales*

noww 

guys, gals, and nonbinary pals

it’s time forr

the most wonderful time of the yearrr

WAITING FOR THE NEXT EPISODE

Step right up, folks! Hear ye, hear ye, my prediction for the next episode: Prinxiety v. Moceit! With special guest stars: Karrot Kings vibing in adorable gay and Intrulogical, bitter at being excluded aGAIN

Who will win? Who will lose? 

here’s a hint: we all will because in this sick twisted game they are no winners only losers-

Place your bets, folks! ✨

Haha im not readyyy~

tl;dr

this episode has cleared my skin, watered my crops, and ended my suffering—an adorable calm before the... angsty fucking shitstorm that’s coming far too soon. Prinxiety stans, enjoy your food. Place an 'F' in the chat for me and my fellow grieving Remus stans. Trashmas is the true OTP, but Karrot Kings is cute too I guess. I've only had Nico Florés for 24 minutes, but if anything happens to him, I'll kill everyone in this room and then myself. Purple eyeshadow Virgil makes me question my sexuality aGAIN, and happy gay disney prince rights y'all. Say a big ole 'fuck you' to capitalism by giving your local dapper snake moneys. Concussion makes brain go brr and imma go buy some carrots and be gay now.

psst hey @quarantinevibes2020​ you wanna join me in being disaster-y? i’ll bring my best gay stare and you bring the wine

Until next time, my lovelies! ~ Ches 🖤

[oasisofpassion]

oh boy! incoming feelings of inadequacy and impostor syndrome. sorry to get Sad On Main esp when I don't ever rant to the internet but I just haven't been feeling great?

part of this is a letter to my mom. this is also really long and really personal.

i guilt myself so hard when I can't meet my own standards when I set them so low for myself but they just seem impossible. and now I'll never meet those goals I set for myself for two years. plus my mom still doesn't believe I have ADHD when it affects literally every part of my life and it fucking hurts. like she's invalidating my emotions and my experiences with mental health because she can't be fucked to do research because she "knows everything already." she obviously fucking doesn't. and I've been struggling with dissociation my whole life and she doesn't even know. she doesn't know that overstimulation will trigger me to feel like I'm not even there and I'm not even making the movements I'm making and I'm so fucking out of control but I can't stop myself. I'm screaming at myself, but it's like my brain has lost connection to my own body.

And then I hit myself with the "You're faking it for attention" WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY LOGICAL FUCKING SENSE!!!! Fuck my brain man!!! I literally haven't told ANYBODY, not even some of my closest irl and internet friends, about how much dissociation affects me. How insecure and scared and horrified of the world I am. How, despite everyone thinking I'm older than I am, how vast my vocabulary can get and how I can write my words poetic and eloquently enough that people think I'd be fucking good at poetry. In actuality, I'm terrified. I'm just a scared kid. I'm locked in a limbo between feeling like I've grown up too fast, that I wasted my childhood, and feeling like I'm too young and too much of a child. I can't fucking stand it. I can't stick to an opinion for longer than five seconds because I get strung along by anything that sounds pseudo scientific.

But on top of all my problems, my crippling ADHD, my depression which is slowly creeping back into my life, possibly mild anxiety, I don't even get the right to speak my heart between my brain telling me I'm a liar and a fraud and an attention-seeking whore and my mom telling me that my years of research and learning from firsthand experiences and my own mental health experiences aren't valid because the pharmaceutical industry sucks. Fuck you mom, you suck. You're a fucking asshole. You don't listen to me. I know the pharmaceutical industry sucks but maybe it was never about "normal pills" or whatever the fuck Mask was on about. Maybe it was about the fact that I felt, my whole life, like something was wrong with me and that I was weird, and that no matter how hard I tried I could never fully accept that part of myself. Maybe it was about the fact that there are points in the day where I can't even think about speaking because the silence is too loud. Maybe it was about the times I was screaming at myself to talk but my mind checked out and left, taking my kicking and screaming self with it and leaving my body an empty husk; that it hurt me so bad I experienced actual chest pain and was so close to crying and I was with a friend who I couldn't talk to because it felt like I wasn't even there. You never know what's going on beneath the surface. You don't see me stim, mom, because you said you couldn't stand it when I paced, and so I spent so much time trying to cover up my stims to please you. I can't even pace when I'm alone without thinking of that interaction. You took away my comfort and you weren't nice about it.

Mom, I love you. You're so funny and charismatic and fucking cool. But that's the problem, I guess. I want to impress you. I want to be your perfect daughter. But I'm not perfect, and I'm not your daughter, either. But the mere thought of coming out makes me sick to my stomach because I don't feel like I can be honest with you. I can't trust you. I can't trust anyone. I don't want to trust anyone. But I can't be alone and I can't bear all this weight by myself.

I dont know why this is such a mess. I don't know why I'm halfway to crying while listening to Jubilee Line by Wilbur Soot and venting on a tumblr post. I don't know why this is happening at 3am. I dont know why I dissociate. I don't know why I have so many problems that don't run in the family and can't stem from severe trauma because I have had a hypothetically perfect life.

There is so much uncertainty. About myself, about the world, about my beliefs. I introspect and isolate because I am trying to get to know myself: the most stubborn ass who will not tell anyone anything.

I just want help. I just want my mom to take me seriously. I want to feel like I can trust. I want to be five years old again. I want to feel like I can cry like I am right now without feeling like I'm compromised. I want to be vulnerable. I want everyone to know everything. I want someone to come in and read me like a paper written by the most concise and clear essayist and tell me everything that's wrong with me. I want to tell her I want therapy just to talk about all this with someone I feel would be easier to trust. I want to make sense. I don't want to be stuttering over everything I love. I want to feel normal. I want to feel validated. But I can't.

Mom, dad, if you somehow find this like you found my instagram accounts, don't bring this up. Don't talk to me about it. Please. For all the things you've done for me, for all the sacrifices, for all the blood, sweat, and tears you have spent for my brothers and me, just spare me this one thing too. For my comfort and peace of mind. I love you. So fucking much. You give great hugs.

This was all over the place. Whatever.

I don't know what to do possible abuse triggers under cut

I don't know that I e ever fully explained my situation but I need to ive been crying so hard I'm about to throw up I don't know what to do

my mom dad and step dad and I all live together. Basically, my dad and step dad are friends and while my mom is no longer married to my dad, when my step dad's health started failing he wanted us do all live together

my step dad is on hospice and is dying from Alzheimer's. he cannot get out of bed anymore, not even into a wheelchair or his heart might overexert and die. he needs round the clock care, hallucinates often, needs diapers changed, ect

my dad is an alcoholic and takes shortcuts but he works to support us

my mom stays home all the time to take care of my step dad and has no source of income only his social security

my mom can't stand any behaviors that come with being an alcoholic my dad has like being unreliable or lying, and she's overwhelmed and emotionally haywire. she can't get out much anymore and we have basically no family support and she can only go out with me or my brother bc she doesn't have a cell phone and has severe anxiety

I get it that everyone is going through a lot but she'll rant and take her grief and anger out on me for anything, like not doing the dishes when I immediately get home- but when I got home she had said oh get off your feet because you worked hard.

I have a 40+ hour work week at a bakery cafe that I walk a mile and a half to and she knows I'm tired

but she always goes between

"You've given up your life to help me you're 21 you don't see your friends or do anything but work and be here" but fifteen minutes later it can be "you're selfish and lazy and I can't believe I ever have to ASK that you do laundry or dishes and you talk about being TIRED so you're UNAVAILABLE and let me tell YOU about BEING TIRED I can't believe you think you're a kind person at ALL you BITCH"

today i had to stay late at work and it was "YOU HATE ME YOU ALWAYS WORK LONG SHIFTS YOURE TOO TIRED FOR ANYTHING AND YOU DONT CARE" versus other days it's "I'm proud you work so hard and save as much as you can"

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to do

I got yelled at today for working too much

She wanted us to get dinner and proceeded to throw her food away once my dad and I ate before doing x thing and she got hysterically upset and screamed at everyone and said I better call the police bc she was going to kill herself

If I do a chore with any sort of frown because I'm a human being under stress I'm a "bitch" with a "bad attitude" that she can "never ask for help"

oh yes and also I can't address any of this without getting shouted at or told how she needs to be able to express herself in her own home and how I just make everything worse and have no compassion for her

I buy her anything she needs I buy her clothes I've paid bills if needed or my step dads meds or groceries

And now I get told I don't care and I'm lazy and selfish and

I DO sacrifice my friendships and free time and opportunity to do college to be on call and to work harder and all I get is screaming and not being able to defend myself against accusations

oh sure sometimes she apologizes but she'll do the exact same thing the day after she's not actually sorry

I have no time genuinely to myself I'm having a meltdown with no escape I can't move my work is stressful and I'm having trouble not wanting to hurt myself and I have no time or money for a therapist or doctor
