The Witcher: Spoilers

Jfc I’d read about the emperor’s humanizing ending where he falls in love with his teenage daughter’s double, which is creepy enough on its own, but then reading about their “date,” which was the worst, and the most ominous wedding bells ever

MAYBE it’s like a second chance with Pavetta, instead of killing her (as he was planning to do), he simply ruins her life.

ghosts - batman: haunted knight

[ID: A multi panel sequence of Bruce Wayne as a child on Halloween. He's dressed up in a Mask of Zorro costume and is excitedly running down the stairs while holding two swords, calling out for his mother happily. He tells her that he's ready to go trick or treating. Martha Wayne has her hand on his shoulder and is smiling as she tells him, “your costume looks great!” Bruce replies, “Thanks, I made it myself. Alfred sorta helped. Is dad home yet?” Martha draws her hand back hesitantly and says his name. Bruce already knows that that means there's bad news. He tells her, “don't tell me,” before she continues and says his father called. Bruce has his head down, angrily finishing her sentence, “he's gotta work late!” He looks out the window as if his father will appear and says, “It's not fair! He promised he would take me trick or treating!” Martha soothes that she knows as Bruce repeats, “he promised,” to himself disappointedly. She tells him, “But there was an emergency,” which makes Bruce snap, “There's always some emergency!”

Bruce continues to stand in front of the window as Martha looks at him. Bruce announces, “I'm gonna wait for him. Even if it takes all night!” as he tensely clenches the handle of his sword. Martha reaches out for him sadly and suggests, “Bruce, I could take you out myself. Or, we can call some of the other children at school and go out with them.” Bruce, as an adult, somberly says off panel that, “she doesn't know...” as his kid self stares out the window still. His hat casting a small shadow on his face as he tells her, “There are no other kids to call. I have no friends at school.” Martha says his name again but doesn't know how to comfort him. Instead, she just silently places a hand on his shoulder. We see a silhouette from far away of her standing next to him as Bruce waits for his father to eventually come home. END ID]

Ever think about robots having periods? Like they get a time of the month where energon is leaking from their private so they have to use a baffle or a REALLY strong sponge to soak up all the liquids. 🧽

They also have the change them often cuz if they don't then they'll leak EVERYWHERE. And it's soooooo embarrassing if they're caught in the middle of the hallway with a leak.

It's a scene that's so erotic that other bots mistake the mech for being in gear it something and eagerly volunteer to help the poor bot out and totally misreading the situation. And suddenly the poor bot is mobbed by a dozen mechs wanting to suck all the liquid from the bots panels and get between their legs.

It's both horrifying and arousing to the cycling mech because they were just caught in the worst/ best situation possible and all they really need is to change their menstrual product but at the same time this period is making them EXTREMELY horny. Their pussy is throbbing and wet and so swollen that it could be mistaken as a heat. It physically hurts with all the fluid build up inside of them but it's not enough. They need a hard fragging and to be filled with even more fluid - specifically transfluid - and their leak is getting worse and they desperately need to be plugged up so bad !

oh my god, absolute, overeager yes to robot periods. i've seen people play around with it, but not a lot, which is a shame...

A bot going through a regular system flush, his valve stuffed with a sponge that's now twice its size with how much energon had soaked up into it... He stumbles to the washracks to change it and clean up the leak, but he's caught by others, who, upon seeing the fluids coating his thighs, assume he must be in heat... now, it would be bad if he'd distracted the rest of the ship/outpost/base with his reproductive cycle...

Of course once they've ushered him into the washracks to sort it out, they quickly find out that his arousal doesn't stem from a heat... but i don't think they'd care- they can see how horny he is, how much he needs it, his valve all wet and swollen... One of them pulls out the soaked sponge; it's a relief, all that energon that was trapped inside, weighing him down, now drizzles freely down his thighs, valve feeling raw and sensitive as fingers fill the port, cable walls slightly numb with the classic cycle-aches... His node is so sensitive that when a slick tongue drags across it, slowly, almost like they're trying to taste him, he whines desperately, bucking his hips until the other bots face is smeared with energon. Oh, he needs to get plugged real badly... Someone rubs his abdomen to soothe the throbbing in his gestation tank as another fills his valve, and all he can do for the next few hours is bleed helplessly around each and every spike inserted into that sore valve of his <3

Been thinking about those designs in which season 4 c!Quackity has burn scars on his arms and only his arms. And realized that there are two equally believable, equally gut-wrenching explanations:

The first is that after c!Charlie couldn't make it to the sand and died, c!Quackity plunged his bare hands into the lava to scoop up the remains and carry them away, so distraught that he forgot or simply didn't care that he needed netherite to protect his hands from the heat.

The second is that c!Charlie himself was the source of the burns, that his slime began to boil and dissolve as soon as he fell too far, that he and c!Quackity made it to each other but he still melted through c!Quackity's fingers and clung to his body like superheated glue until his skin, too, was melting.

In either case, one thing is apparent, written clearly on flesh: c!Quackity did not let him go.

[plato-repulsed-culture-is]

sorry if this is a weird question, but um, a girl i know asked me out. Shes aplatonic but alloromantic and allosexual. I do like her back, but im a bit worried.. ive dated a guy before who didnt have friends and what ended up happening is that i had to support him 100% of the time when something bad happened and i had to be with him after school every day because i was the only person he talked to and he would get lonely otherwise. He even threatened to do bad things to himself if i went to a friend's sleepover because it made him feel bad. Im really worried that something like this would repeat... it lowkey traumatized me i think. Is this a valid concern or are aplatonic people different and they dont really need much emotional support compared to non-aplatonic people? Or was my ex just uniquely an asshole? Thank u so so much if u respond

I am prefacing this with a disclaimer that this blog was never for giving people advice, especially when they view aplatonics with such suspicion and are not actually asking any advice related to plato repulsion which is what this blog is about. I can also only go off of your statements here to draw conclusions, and I am assuming you are stating the truth here (especially as this is online, I know there is a possibility people can lie, but may also be telling the truth.). Also, we are not responsible for anything that happens to you emotionally or otherwise if you make decisions based off of this advice, because thats not within our control.

From what you said, your ex sounds like he was being rather toxic and manipulative towards you. That kind of behaviour is harmful (threatening self harm as a form of control, trying to control who someone spends time with, and not respecting peoples boundaries regarding interaction or emotional support, are all harmful actions.) and nobody should be acting that way towards others, we're sorry that happened to you. You also don't need to be concerned that someone will act this way towards you just bc theyre aplatonic. Your concern is valid, but it is in no way something that will inherently apply to aplatonics.

If you are concerned about whether this person has unmet social needs then you should just ask her about her social needs and emotional needs and what she expects in a relationship, and communicate about your needs and emotions regarding these things too. If its possible to, maybe mention that you have past issues or trauma in relationships which is why you want to be careful about dating, while not making it seem like aplatonicism is inherently a reason you think someone might hurt you(because it's not).

Set boundaries about what amount of time you want to spend with someone you're dating, and state your limits regarding how much you are okay with emotionally supporting someone / what topics you are ok with talking about / etc. . Don't assume that someone will be toxic or abusive towards you just because they're aplatonic. Its not really like your ex was inherently aplatonic just because he didn't have friends, and it may even be more likely he was alloplatonic.

Some aplatonics have and/or want friends but some dont, and moreover, if someone doesnt have friends by choice, that's very different from someone who is lonely because they don't have friends and mistreats a partner because of it. I will also add here that I don't intend to malign mental health issues just because it sounds like your ex may have had them (as you mentioned loneliness - which is different from just being alone or even liking solitude) ; mental health issues do not innately make someone abusive or toxic, and one can have mental health issues and still be respectful to people.

Someone without any mental health issues can also still very much be abusive or toxic towards others. And honestly, if you associate the concept of aplatonicism itself with this trauma then maybe its not in the best interest of you or the other person to date? And if it applies maybe it could be possible that you are simply not ready to date someone again after what happened, which is also okay, but I don't intend to assume that or be harsh in stating it as a possibility. I will also add that not having friends is not a 'red flag'. If someone has a preference to date/ be involved with people who have friends, that's okay, but not having friends is not inherently a 'red flag'.

Some aplatonics may not get lonely if they don't talk to people (but this can also be true of alloplatonics), and just because someone is aplatonic doesnt mean they will expect their partner to support them all the time to an unhealthy level or to an extent that crosses their boundaries. I will also add that there is no surefire way to tell whether someone will be abusive or toxic, although if they cross your boundaries or are disrespectful to you from the start, its worth staying away from them. Even ppl who are very kind to you initially may at some point abuse you or mistreat you, and theres no way to tell for sure whether or not this will happen because thats kind of how social relationships of any kind are.

But don't profile aplatonics as inherently more likely to be abusive or toxic (I don't know if this is intentional on your part, but hearing the word 'aplatonic' and making all these assumptions about how one may be in a relationship wounds like either this and/or like a trauma trigger extending to the concept of aplatonicism). Not all aplatonics even approach social relationships the same way, and even those who don't have friends are still capable of respecting boundaries in relationships they engage in. I wouldn't say that aplatonic people don't have emotional needs, but people in general have varying social needs and emotional needs. Some people who don't want friends may specifically not have a social drive towards having friends, but this may also apply to people who want friends.

If someone is happy without having friends then they probably don't seek emotional or social fulfillment from friendship. They may have other relationship types even if they are aplatonic (such as familial , romantic, sexual, alterous, etc.) (I don't know if you and this girl are monogamous are not but if you are intending to be monogamous that obviously is excluding sexual and/or romantic then) , and I will add that people don't always need social relationships/ bonds for emotional support. Some people may process emotions through journalling, or may go to a therapist, or such.

Some people may have people they talk to sometimes but don't call them their friends. Having friends does not ever guarantee anyone emotional support, and neither does any other relationship. It just so happens that a lot of people end up mutually (i.e. more or less both ppl give the other emotional support, it doesnt have to be equal so much as it is respecting the boundaries of both people. It is also possible that people may be incompatible in this regard) giving emotional support due to just being around people they are close to and also due to having some kind of emotional connection.

Anyways, long answer short, aplatonicism doesn't say anything about someone's social needs or emotional needs, and neither does alloplatonicism, and its often better to communicate with people you are close to or are looking to be close to, about important aspects regarding relationships.

(Also stating here that this is not an advice blog, we will be deleting any asks seeking advice from now on. If you want you can send in asks as reply to this response, as long as you aren't asking for more advice)

Anyways I hope it works out for you, whatever you decide to do.

(Additional disclaimer - to anyone who sees this post - do NOT suggest that 'narc abuse' 'borderline abuse' or whatever is real, do not imply mental health issues cause ppl to inherently be abusive, and do not treat having no friends as a 'red flag', regardless of platonic orientation or favorability)

rgu vision thoughts

Utena anemo/Anthy cryo/Akio electro as discussed

Saionji, electro — not only his theme being eternity, but he's kinda the odd one out of the student council. He may be more inverse electro actually, where he has no hidden power or identity and constantly chasing after Touga and doesn't understand anything, until he loops around so hard he's electro again. This makes sense to me

Touga — genuinely no idea. I tried so hard. I can't fit him in anything. He's just an asshole. Maybe he gets geo for Persistently Asshole. Is there an element for calling yourself a feminist when you're a playboy that emotionally manipulates two lesbians apart

Miki - Hydro. Sure he doesn't really have a sense of right/wrong or justice but he's got that weird thing with purity going on and a duality in how he sees his sister and Anthy he's trying to reconcile that's arguably a twisted version of right/wrong

Juri - Pyro. She's the only one there with a visibly strong drive, even if the drive is 'I will prove miracles don't exist'. She models she games she fences she's so talented to suppress how gay she is. Maybe this makes her anemo instead

Nanami - Cryo. Anthy's foil. Plus her theme is adoration. But also she's got that duality thing going on, she's from a family with a name she's adopted she's Touga's beloved sister he treats her like a toy she's the top of the pecking order of her girl posse she may be a literal animal????

Shoutout to Wakaba "Special people may as well live in a different world" for being visionless surrounded by people with a vision until she breaks down in an elevator and is given a delusion which she'll immediately use for murder. That she rightfully deserves.

Like the other psa post we made about not wanting anymore of people to ask us how we're doing / how our day is since we're technically never going to be truly okay unless my abusive mother is out of my life, I don't know if this is a permanent thing to add onto the guideline or not as well, I think I will say this anyway that for the time being, if people can be sure to trigger tag or place a warning of " child distress " where out of any context in illustration, audio, or writing a child ( either as a muse themself or muse's childhood self ) is in physical or mental distressful position / state, especially if they're described as crying; that would be extremely much appreciated.

On an additional note, because we do explore and interact with Micah's childhood self and their child alter, Mimi, quite often and they had experienced various forms of distress across their life and in childhood, we will use this specific tag, #child distress cw. As most people know, Micah is often in a distressful position / state across the series ( prominent example was across July - August after the massacre event, Micah was at their most vulnerable state ). We will be using #distress cw if anyone needs it at all or at times if they are not at a certain mental / emotional state to read / see an intense piece involving Micah or other Starwakers.

Lastly, the Starwake System is an intense system of individuals who have their extreme experiences at time, even for a quick moment. We will never reduce or remove the intensity that any Starwakers would think and feel and behave for anyone because we wouldn't do their characters justice by not following any aspects of them ( personality, mental health, etcetera ); it would be wrong to water down parts of their identities, so this is a gentle reminder that as that is the case, we can and will at least provide warnings of distress and any other applicable sensitive contents when necessary.

it's easy to just say the neoironic genre of posting where the poster pretends they are experiencing psychosis is offensive and leave it at that, but i think what gets lost here is that it's mostly just boring. the thing about imitating the schizophrenia you see on tv is that you're fashioning yourself into a shadow of a shadow, a mirror reflecting another mirror. there is nothing countercultural or shocking about this, because the media that is being replicated here is for the most part art created by (and, crucially, for) people who do not have schizophrenia, who have never talked to people who have schizophrenia, who are forced to imagine based on a description in a dsm what schizophrenia may possibly look like "in action". mocking the other is incredibly socially accepted. you are a person who has whittled yourself into nothing but someone else's thought. a wisp of smoke. a dream. you're a halloween walk-through asylum-themed haunted house in the basement of a suburban protestant church and you think people are still scared?

How i wished there wasn't adults showing kids stuff they shouldn't know no matter which age they are or how grown up the adults they think the kids are, they are still kids.

And I'm talking from showing naked ladies to straight up showing porn to little boys to make them ''men'' or teaching little girls how to be flirtatious and how that full grown ass man over there likes them just to have a laugh with your friends at how the little girl thinks it's true.

Is very damaging for a little kids and the worse thing is sometimes the adults who do that are the ones who should take care of the kids, like is so, i don't even have words to describe how angry and disgusted i feel about this.
