[ part 1 ]

[ ramshackle dorm - birthday party venue ]

minnie: ...

minnie: ".. he will come, right?"

minnie: "it's not like him to be so late-"

seth: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MINNIE-CHAN!!

minnie: y-you scared me!..

seth: haha, sorry..

seth: actually, can i sit down? i'm just.. kinda tired, hehe..

minnie: ah, right, everyone had to hold like.. three birthday parties in one day, if i recall correctly?

seth: yeah, and i had to interview both ortho-chan and ivy-chan..

minnie: huh? in that order? i thought ivy will make you interview her first-

seth: no, she said that i absolutely have to interview ortho-chan first, actually.

seth: though she also wanted me to interview you first and she was kinda torn between you and ortho-chan, but then i said that i want you to be the last, so that i don't have to worry about having to go anywhere else.

minnie: "i'm scared to imagine how her interview went.. two extremely chaotic people in one room.."

seth: but anyway, now i'm here to interview my favorite vice prefect!

minnie: i'm the only vice prefect that you have.

seth: i actually wanted to make jay-chan my second vice prefect, but when i told him about it, he screamed and hid under his bed.

seth: so yeah. probably not a good idea.

seth: eh, it's okay, i believe in him. he will come out of his shell when he's ready.

minnie: you sure have a lot of faith in him..

seth: anyway, let's begin!

seth: so, how are you feeling, minnie-chan?

minnie: surprisingly, i feel good. mostly.

seth: "mostly"? is something wrong?

minnie: it's okay. it's kind of my fault anyway.

seth: what?? but you're literally perfect! how can it be your fault?

minnie: well, uh..

minnie: since i'm.. kind of, you know, not exactly nice to most nrc students..

minnie: y-yeah, a lot of them have either forgot about my birthday or tried really hard to avoid me.

seth: ...

minnie: i'm alright though. i don't need attention from them anyway.

minnie: and i kinda deserve it.

seth: .. murder is not an option, is it?

minnie: what did you just say?

seth: never mind. i feel like i got possessed for a second.

seth: listen. it's true that you could have been a little bit nicer to them. just a little bit.

seth: but also.. i kinda understand why you treat them like this.

minnie: .. yeah.

minnie: most nrc students are very unreliable, selfish, rude, cruel, or they're just idiots.

minnie: i guess you could say i can be judgemental because of those particular students being guys and i'm.. fine, i admit, i'm kind of scared of them, but hey, just look at the numbers-

seth: ivy-chan had set her hair on fire yesterday.

minnie: .. she doesn't count.

seth: but i'm glad to see you slowly opening up! you're doing so great! it's good to see that you're finally admitting that you're just scared of them and you don't exactly hate them.

seth: and also, i agree that i did most of the work to hold this party for you, but i asked some people for help.

minnie: yeah, like jay?

seth: not only him. let me think..

seth: taru-chan, ivy-chan, ace-chan and deuce-chan..

seth: ah, sebek-chan agreed to help too, though very reluctantly.

minnie: .. huh?

seth: silver-chan agreed too, even though he doesn't know you that well. he's so sweet, don't you think?

seth: ah, and riddle-chan was too busy, sadly..

minnie: what do you mean, sebek out of all people agreed to help??

seth: yeah, i was surprised too!

seth: he left almost immediately after we were done though.

minnie: .. *sighs*

minnie: of course he would.

[ part 2 ]

seth: okay, next question!

seth: minnie-chan, how do you feel about celebrating your birthday in twisted wonderland?

minnie: not that bad, actually.

seth: wow, really??

minnie: well, my previous birthdays weren't.. that fun.

seth: .. ah.

seth: "i can relate, haha.."

minnie: so surprisingly, this birthday isn't that bad.

minnie: like some people even wished me a happy birthday. sure, most students have either ignored me or even tried to run away from me, but that's better than celebrating it all alone.

seth: and how do you feel about twisted wonderland in general?

minnie: well..

minnie: ...

seth: come on, admit that you like it.

minnie: who said i like it?

minnie: i don't like earth and i don't like twisted wonderland. it's simple as that.

seth: *sighs* is there anything in this world that you like?

minnie: my dolls.

seth: oh, right.

seth: wait, speaking of that!

seth: i almost forgot.. here you go.

minnie: .. what is this?

seth: it's your birthday gift from me!

minnie: ...

minnie: .. wait, you made dresses for them??

seth: yep! i mean, your dolls already have some outfits made by me, but i wanted to make more.

seth: and you seem to like them a lot, so.. yeah!

minnie: .. thanks.

seth: do you like these?

minnie: .. *nods*

seth: hehe, i'm glad!

seth: i tried to make them fit their personalities and aesthetics too, since i remember everything you had told me about them.

minnie: wait, i just noticed.. they actually look so much like something my girls would wear..

minnie: u-um.. again, thanks.

seth: you're welcome~ anything for the birthday girl.

seth: speaking of gifts, did you receive any gifts from other students?

minnie: no, you're the first one.

seth: what??

minnie: i told you, i'm not that popular.

seth: and so what? not being popular doesn't mean you don't deserve any gifts!

seth: jay-chan actually wanted to try and make something for you and even asked for my help, so he's probably just too shy to give it to you. i'll talk to him about it.

minnie: listen, i'm just a magicless student from ramshackle. it's not a big deal-

seth: .. what do you mean, it's not a big deal??

seth: hello, is this minnie lynley i'm talking to? i just know that if someone forgot about my birthday, you would be ready to go and kill them.

seth: and also, don't you like to say things like "even though i'm magicless, i'm just as smart and strong as you all"? doesn't that mean that you deserve to have your birthday celebrated just as everyone else does?

minnie: .. i-i guess.

minnie: sorry. maybe i'm just trying to comfort myself that way.

seth: it's okay. just don't say bad things about yourself.

seth: and i'm sure you will get a gift from someone later today~

[ part 3]

seth: we're getting closer to the end, minnie-chan.

minnie: you will get a break after this, right?

seth: w-well..

minnie: don't tell me you have something to draw or to read or.. uh, i don't want to say like the whole list of your hobbies.

seth: no, no, it's not that, haha..

minnie: .. you've got a date after this?

seth: .. y-yeah-

minnie: seth, i swear, you have to learn how to spend time alone.

seth: but i know how to do that!

seth: "i know how to do that better than most students here."

seth: and hey, i'm sure silver-chan won't mind me taking a nap with him if i feel tired.

seth: honestly, i feel like he'd also tell me to get some rest, haha.

seth: i know, me and you should bring silver-chan and sebek-chan with us and go on a double date one day-

minnie: me and sebek are not even dating.

seth: that can easily be changed!

seth: anyway, do you have any plans for this day?

minnie: no, i don't think i have.

minnie: i'll probably just chill here. i want to get at least one day that i won't have to spend worrying about something.. or someone.

seth: haha, you mean jay-chan, right?

minnie: .. yeah, sure.

seth: it's okay though. you deserve to do anything you want today. it's your birthday, after all.

seth: but also, i wish you would start talking to other students more.

minnie: .. i don't even know what to talk about.

seth: anything! literally anything! i'm sure there's a lot of students who have a personality that's similar to yours or maybe they have the same interests as you..

seth: you should just open up a little, okay? there's nothing to be scared of!

minnie: seth, there's at least ten reasons why we should be scared of those guys.

seth: u-uh..

seth: you know what helped me a lot? thinking about those reasons as something that makes them more attractive-

minnie: i'm not gonna do that.

seth: okay, okay..

seth: .. hm.

seth: you don't have any plans for the rest of the day, right?

minnie: i told you i don't.

seth: great! then we can go somewhere together after my date with silver-chan!

minnie: you were supposed to rest-

seth: i will! but like, later.

seth: oh, oh, we should bring jay-chan with us too! i have so many ideas..

seth: wait, oh no, i gotta go. silver-chan is probably already waiting for me.

minnie: "i'm pretty sure silver has fallen asleep on his way to whatever place they were supposed to meet at."

minnie: okay, have fun. but again, promise me you will get at least some rest.

seth: i will, i will. again, happy birthday, minnie-chan!

Ghost : Ok, why do you baby Gaz so much, you do know he's a grown man, right?

Price : Oh come on, first off I don't baby him, second, jealousy doesn't suit you, third, he's the youngest of us, it's only normal that I watch over him a bit more, he's basically a baby, he just turned 27 last week!

Gaz : Damn, don't remind me, I feel old. But also like, maybe it's because he's the youngest sibling, but I do feel older than Soap most days, to be honest.

Price : Well yeah, you two are very close in age, but Soap's actually gonna turn 29 later this year, right Soap?

Soap :

Price : ... Soap?

Soap : Yep, sorry, yeah, wasn't paying attention, sure, I'm gonna be uh... 28? Wait no, that was last year, 29 right, ahah...

Ghost :

Gaz :

Price :

Soap : *avoids eye contact*

Price : How old are you son?

Soap : 29?

Gaz : Aren't you supposed to be 28...?

Soap : Ahah, yeah, that's what I meant, I'm 28, I'm gonna be 29... right?

Ghost : You're lying aren't you. You look like you're lying. Price, he's lying.

Price : What's your birth year?

Soap :

Price : ....

Soap, visibly counting on his fingers : 1994 !

Ghost, staring at Price with his look(tm) :

Gaz : Wait, you don't know your birth year by heart?

Ghost : No, he just doesn't remember the lie he said.

Soap : Come on, LT, what do you mean, a lie, I'm just your average 29 years old man, born in 1994, what do you want me to say?

Ghost : Johnny, you'd be born in 1993 if you were 29, I mean, if you didn't also lie about your birthday.

Soap :

Price, having had enough of today already : Okay, how old are you really. What's your real birth year.

Soap : ..... 1996 ?

Gaz : I'M NOT THE FUCKING BABY ANYMORE THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE !!!

Ghost, concerned : You're 26 ?? But your file said you've been in active duty for 10 years !

Soap : Yep 😁👍

Ghost :

Soap : Funny story, I was actually 15 when i enrolled, cause it was before my birthday, but yeah.

Ghost :

Soap : Don't look at Price like that, he knew all about me ~allegedly~ kidnapping a military officer and still wanted me, he's not gonna push me out because my joints are gonna hurt two years later than he originally thought.

Gaz : Wait, no, back up, you did what to a military officer?

Soap : Oh, I never told you? Yeah, he was really pissing me off, you know how it is-

Price : I'm going back to bed.

The way fans on the st sub are almost all in agreement Nancy ending up with neither Jon nor Steve wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, and how they can even come up with a sleuth of reasons as to why, honestly pretty valid and fair reasons, but then are absolutely gobsmacked when fans merely speculate something along those lines for El is, quite something.

So can we get an all women’s season of physical 100 XD I’m pretty sick of the constant “well they’re not physically strong so our team is going to suck” it’s pretty fucking annoying when it happens to literally every single woman contestant :/

i don't want to start any blasphemous rumors but i think that god's got a sick sense of humor and when i die i expect to find him laughing

[profounddefendorcrusade-blog]

I feel bad for Starlo.

Star has a point, idk what the four were ticked off about, there is like 99% chance everyone willingly participated in the trolley problem, based on what we've seen of his behavior thus far it's not like Starlo to be that big of a jerk/drag them by force/yell at them to do it. Ed's words:

he does it because Star asks NICELY

clearly jealous

It genuinely seemed like a fun time/fun roleplay, especially since every day is the same. Like, the five are supposed to be a rowdy and adventures bunch, what exactly did Starlo do wrong, I'm genuinely confused and curious. Except taking a big liking in Clover (his posse should know that this is a big moment for him, according to Blackjack they've known each other since high school and had the same liking for westerns. So they were basically a nerd gang.) Starlo was kind, patient and considerate towards Clover the whole time, even warned Mooch about them not being bandits, taught Clover gun safety, wanted to bring his posse along for a fun time, thanked Ace for telling him about getting Clover a new hat...

Sure, at first he only liked Clover for being a human, but as Ceroba says, that changed and he grew to genuinely care about them, plus I can't help but think Star saw himself in Clover and that's part of the reason he was so proud of them all the time even when they messed up (I'll talk more about this at some point)

What exactly made Ace want to leave the gang? He even said how he doesn't mind "getting run over by the fake train"

he's so nice. says sorry for forgetting the safety goggles even when he was scatterbrained due to his excitement. I love him so much

The only real "faults" (I'll call them temporary faults) I saw in Star during the Wild East section was that he was even more enthusiastic and more proud than usual. But how couldn't he be when he met a member of the species that he has admired for so long because they have real cowboys and sheriffs on the surface (who are seen as brave heroes who deliver justice, while Star canonically feels like a nobody farmer). His posse should have realized Clover wouldn't be there forever and just let their boss enjoy himself with his "deputy who'd have to leave sooner or later anyway"(or be more patient with him/ask him why he feels this strongly towards Clover/if there's a deeper reason for that). His friends including Ceroba just turn their back on him so quickly instead. The moment he's gotten the chance to feel valued for once and put himself first and not have to take care of this whole town and everyone in it and live his dream of meeting a real human, suddenly "his personality is damaged?"

Star's literally built this whole town, organised everything, he worries about everyone, Ceroba (plus was the one to give her emotional strength before and after Clover's sacrifice), Kanako, the monsters, his family, struggles with feelings of worthlessness yet never wipes that smile off his face, always does his best to be hopeful and optimistic and make others laugh, gave his posse a nap time so they don't become exhausted, gave Ceroba a free home, didn't act upon his feelings towards her and was a 110% supportive, caring friend instead. THAT'S who he is. He's the papa bear of this friend group, the glue holding everyone together.

He was just *really* excited. Y'all know he's insecure and just wishes to escape who he is and yet y'all blame him for liking Clover so much. Yeah, the four are very clearly jealous. But why won't the four of you control your feelings for a while? As mentioned, Clover WILL HAVE TO LEAVE EVENTUALLY. They won't be Star's "deputy" forever (the kid who's just as into westerns as he is, who values justice just as much, who also values doing the right thing. Someone he clearly felt understood in the presence of, whom he loved; just look at the way he talks about Clove during Showdown). Star seems genuinely confused of what he did wrong poor guy just wanted to live his fantasy for once and feel important:

Even at the beginning Moray's like "oh no Martlet is upset" Mooch replies "don't be a buzzkill nothing exciting ever happens around here" and Ray's like "Yeah you've got a point"

If you all agreed to have a little fun with a human who will very soon leave forever why is Starlo's enthusiasm such a big problem? If the posse weren't into this after all (unless they were simply too jealous which could have been solved with a honest talk and a little patience) why are you doing this "rowdy" job with Star in the first place? Do you want your boring routine day to day life so much back? Or just for Clover to leave (which they will soon enough)? You, western enthusiasts, literally met a real human, A HUMAN FROM WESTERNS YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PASSIONATELY INTO (clearly not as passionate as Star but passionate ENOUGH to understand where he's coming from).

... okay.

I just caught up with fantasy high and OH MY GODS???

I’m so curious about what’s in Kipperlilly’s file bc I need to pick her brain I wanna see what’s going on, I’m also so obsessed with her. Local girl wants classmates dead for no fucking reason

Kipperlilly Copperkettle you will forever be in my brain

[evilkitten3]

atla crack au where zuko and azula burn the palace down as kids (like 12 and 10, respectively, pre-banishment but post-grandpacide), run away to avoid consequences, and somehow end up "discreetly" living in the abandoned fire nation ship in the south pole ("discreetly" is a word which here means "all the adults know they're there bc they have massive arguments every other day, and when hakoda's nearby he "drops" things that might be useful")

ozai ends up blaming the palace fire on iroh and banishes him. he must capture the children to regain his honor (translator's note: this is adult speak for "get their asses back here so i can ground them for the rest of their lives")

THE COMPARISON. never forget how there were some ppl actually saying tk8 just looks like tk7 2.0, and it just looks "slightly better" than tk7.... holy shit....

i don’t talk about bridgerton on here but just to clarify. i will not be having ANY eloise hate on this account. i will bite.

[feelslikegold]

while I understand what this person is saying….the difference in how their partners are treated makes no sense to me lmao. I have seen the other partners (some who might argue are just as if not more private than josh’s) be included in fic??? with tabs kept on all of them to the point where fans even notice *instagram comments* left from them???? it’s so funny that only josh gets this kind of treatment when every other relationship (hannah doesn’t count) is obsessed over by fans…..

we don’t know for sure what jenny was to danny and yet why do I still see people casually mentioning her and posting about what she’s up to when her socials were private too while she was with him????? she was clearly very private and yet……?? people obsessed over talking about them…..

respecting their privacies should be happening, but respect all of them? the same? 😭 josh’s partner is treated like a curse if he’s mentioned which is pretty respectful ig, but why are there tiktoks of other partners along to the sound of “she’s getting that dick” like it’s just SO so fucking weird to me that this fandom does not respect women no matter what and has also treated josh so oddly when he came out 😭

biggest complaint about you is your not a big enough hater about kralsei. Get rageful with it. Make a whole rant about how gross it is in canon. Let the rage take over

oh it takes everything i have to not say swears about it like every day trust me. i am kra/lsei number 1 biggest hater

[acediaedeus]

this does contain them sweet

SPOILERS

what I find really upsetting about Ichigo’s dynamic with his friends/family/mentors is how they treat the fact that he’s part-Hollow. especially when it comes to the Visored and Orihime.

bc yeah, the Visored did struggle with their Hollows, bc they already lived hundreds of years without that aspect. they were comfortable with their shinigami existence, but then this hollowfication bullshit drops on their heads and suddenly they’re not only barely in control of themselves, constantly in a fight with an inner “demon”, but also there’s no one to support them AND they’re getting fucking exiled and then they exist as this tightly knit community of eight for a fucking century with no one to understand them but each other. I’d hate the Hollow in me too, probably.

BUT, then there’s this fresh guy, that hasn’t accepted the fact that he’s now an amalgamation of a million different things, including something that he has been told he has to fight and exterminate, that they have to teach to manage the hollowfication bullshit™️ so what do we do? correct, scare the shit out of him and present existing with a Hollow as amensalism (one is harmed, one is unaffected) or parasitism (one benefits, one is harmed) when it’s more like commensalism (one benefits, one is unaffected), in which the shinigami is clearly the one who’s benefiting from this.

(although we could argue that for the Visored this is a symbiotic relationship in which both are getting harmed, but even then the shinigami still gains benefit and the Hollow gets nothing but hatred, so like, fuck them, lol (I’m advocating for inner-Hollow rights 💀🙏🏻)).

biology lesson out of the way, they essentially do not teach Ichigo anything that would bring long-term benefits (we see this when Ichigo is unable to complete his training with Squad 0, bc he has no fucking idea who Zangetsu (or he himself) actually is (this is, of course, in part his quincy power’s doing, but I wouldn’t say his supposed “mentors” helped much).

in conclusion what does Ichigo get out of this? self-hatred and the habit to suppress what is, whichever way you look at it, a big part of his being, thus blocking himself and Zangetsu from reaching their full potential.

but I guess you can’t teach lessons you haven’t learnt yourself, so there is that with the Visored.

now onto my dear Orihime, who I love dearly (this is a disclaimer). for someone who, supposedly, loves Ichigo more than anything and who we have to take seriously as not only just a potential love-interest, but the actual, one-and-only lover, she is a little bit too scared of Ichigo.

this, of course, for me, begs the question of how am I supposed to accept a love-interest who is consistently terrified of the mc? not a single battle with Orihime present (and Ichigo using the mask) without her shaking in fear and having to be reminded by others (who have known him for much less time than she has), that not only is it still Ichigo in front of her, but he’s also fighting and pulling out the mask he himself doesn’t like much, in order to protect her.

it’s plain and simple upsetting how there’s absolutely no one to accept and embrace the essence of Kurosaki Ichigo. everyone around him wants the shinigami and human in him, no one is interested in the Hollow (except for *ahem* Grimmjow *ahem*), all they do is reject and cower and isn’t that fucking hypocritical after hiding behind his back and begging him to save them?

everyone around Ichigo just really pisses me off with their constant whining. I feel like the only ones who love and cherish Ichigo for the absolute gem of a person he is are Chad and the fucking Arrancars 💀🙏🏻

as I mentioned in the ALT to the last photo in this parade of idiocy: trying to separate and think of Hollow Ichigo and Ichigo as two different entities is crazy and delusional behaviour, bc we have been told countless times, that a person’s inner Hollow is a manifestation of all repressed emotions and traits that they view as unsavoury. which for Ichigo happened to be aggression, cruelty, being merciless and thirst for bloody battles.

let me remind everyone that you cannot truly love a person w/o accepting and acknowledging all their flaws (including yourself).

this is not me trying to say Orihime doesn’t love Ichigo, it’s not really about the characters, more so the writing. I am actively trying to square up with Tite Kubo. for many reasons, but this is one of the ones I pay most attention to.

Ichigo is someone who is in perfect control of himself, who protects no matter what, bc even when he turned into the vasto lorde (after getting his heart ripped out of his chest) it was all his Hollow, yet it still carried out the mission of protection seamlessly, that’s how strong his will is. Kurosaki Ichigo deserves ppl who actually love him around, thank you.

thanks for coming to this ted talk, love y’all!
