Oh did that trans woman present femininely in a way you find corny?Did that autistic kid annoy you by being passionate about their interests?Did that traumatized person cope by being a therian so you think they're stupid?Did that black person act in a way you found offputting?Thank you SO much for making a whole post to make fun of them because it was completely necessary to announce your most important feelings ever because weird people are vewy scawy.Should we throw a party to cheer you up?Should we invite JK Rowling?

i want to go ahead and write up A Whole Thing about how ricky's arc ultimately comes down to 'protect what's yours,' in a way that tbh manages to be kind of the opposite of the toxic masculinity that trope tends to embody in western media especially. but also it relies on several other major essays about the themes in this show that i need to write up first to tie them all together with it. ashdjsjdjdh. Help

[bbqhooligan]

like at this point i have imposter syndrome about. my fuckin personality. like how many times can you accidentally convince people youre cool. i dont even mean it as a brag people consistently say and do things that show they think im a cool, interesting, memorable person and each time, with my head up my ass im like "me? you mean me? worlds biggest loser and faker?" people CAN SEE AND REMEMBER YOU. they do things that show they think about you after meeting you! come to conclusions youre fun, respectable, intimidating. like its real. i get so lonely i forget people can perceive me

hm. i think i am going to stop going to counseling. he does not understand me. he pathologizes things that are not pathological.

super duper random but I think the reason I'm not really head over heels for Sirius or super big on wolfstar like everyone else is because I kinda see him as aromatic. I don't think he's aroace, just aro. Or maybe at least on the arospec. His family was the first thing he knew, the first thing he loved, and he's traumatised from the shit he saw, had done to him, and was forced to do. I feel like that just really messed up his perception of love.

ABSOLUTELY NO HATE ON WOLFSTAR. They still hold my heart in their silly little clawed hands. But like. Idk.

I think another thing that kinda peeves me is the way that Sirius is portrayed as kind of.. emotionally dull. Like he's either too sexualised, or just really emotionally hurtful (I feel like abusive is too strong of a word) towards Remus and the people around him. He's about the only character we have a set personality on. He's used to the floodgate of emotions he feels, he's probably more emotionally aware than Lily even. He's childish, and quick to anger in the books, but after years of having your worst and lowest moments replayed over and over again while your teeth ache and rot, I think he's got a right to be. In school, he was better. Though still bad from the ongoing abuse from his parents.

I don't think he was unfixable, I think he just took a lot of time to heal from everything. He's able to form platonic relationships, of course, but he doesn't really have any desire for anything romantic. He used to think something was wrong with him and tried to force himself to do what everyone else was doing, dating and stuff, but he just never clicked with it. He can love, he isn't like incapable of it, but it's just not romantic. I think he's his own person who doesn't need a relationship to make his world round once more, I think he'd much rather have plenty of people around with whom he's formed bonds with that'll last long past his death. That's because he doesn't like doing one thing for too long, and because he feels like the idea of having to love someone is too specific for it to be for him.

I think even after Azkaban he feels this way, maybe even more so, but he's more appreciative of the people around him. Just a little ramble

doing my t shot while watching Supernatural? in this year 2024?

[odetolovers]

it is absolutely wild the way i’ve allowed people to treat me

[akagamiko]

could go on (and on and on) about how much i love uta and how i think she's important for shanks' character so here's some Thoughts:

roger never really calling shanks son and shanks struggling with not even understanding what a dad is as a child, to realizing roger is a dad to him but not feeling able to voice it to him despite the fact that roger and his crew raised him since he was a baby !!!

a crew full of adults and no one bothered to say 'hey you're my kid!' at him and him feeling lost because of it

and then he finds a baby !! in a chest !! just like him !!

and wanting to undo some of those hurts that he felt as a child by giving uta everything he didn't have. primarily that sense of something defining between them as parent and child. trying to give her security by saying 'hey i'm your dad and i love you'. making sure that she knew that she was his daughter regardless of not being blood related. shanks unknowingly trying to heal his own childhood wounds through her.

telling himself that he could do better than roger and then somehow ruining things and doing way worse than roger ever did with him.

me @ me: you will not find a reason to ramble about kaiya tonight, go do other things

me, clearly ignoring rational thought: you know i think kaiya probably planted flowers on her papa’s grave, maybe red spider lilies considering their symbolism. but it’s kind of sad bc i imagine she had a hard time visiting her father’s grave for a while bc shortly after he died, her mom would sit there for hours no matter how much kaiya would try to convince her to come home; her mom wouldn’t come with her until the sun began to set. so not only was her father’s grave difficult to visit bc kaiya couldn’t properly grieve and process his death, but it was also a place seeped in her mother’s sorrow, too. 

i don’t think she even truly grieves her father and her own life that was sort of taken from her until years later, after the main storyline, when she finally revisits her hometown, reunites with her mom, and finally has the courage to visit her father’s grave by herself. and she sees the spider lilies are blooming beautifully, that her mother has clearly taken care of them, and a weight kind of lifts from her chest. this weight has been with her since her dad died, since she left to get married, since she remembered who she was -- this worry that her mother wouldn’t recover, wouldn’t be able to take care of herself without kaiya there to support her, would crumble at the loss of her daughter. she’s worried for decades that she’d come home and realize her mother struggled because she wasn’t here, and---

her mom was okay. she survived, she moved on, she lived. she took care of her husband’s grave, hard as it may have been. she was okay despite everything, and it’s such a relief to kaiya. and it hurts a little too, bc maybe this was always the case. maybe her mother was always strong enough to care for herself and pick herself up, but kaiya simply couldn’t trust that to be true. maybe it was kaiya’s fear of losing another parent that drove her to shoulder so much of the burden rather than her mother’s need for help.

so kaiya cries out of relief; out of sorrow; and finally, her heart begins to heal.
