#now that I'm not a dumb child

WAIT THEY WERE ONLY DEAD FOR LIKE A MONTH?! that's so dumb wtf... and it feels so like. at odds with the atmosphere of area zero... everything there feels like it's been untouched for so long, why would they put that timeframe on it

APPARENTLY?!?!! because the scene at the beginning of the game where Koraidon/Miraidon is fleeing Area Zero is apparently supposed to be it fleeing the fight that led to the professor's death?

my thoughts exactly though!! i feel like the professor only being dead for like a month is completely at odds with pretty much every part of the climax...the atmosphere, the messaging, the dramatic weight put on it...it's SO DUMB......IN MY OPINION

So, it's been a hot minute since I've had any real Quality Time™️ with Loki. I was feeling super disconnected for a while now (which could be for a number of reasons), but I could tell He's been trying to get my attention for probably a week or so now. Anyway, I finally sat down to have a chat with Them tonight when this happened:

Loki: *talks about how I need to let go and have fun*

Me: I can try but I make no promises.

Loki: Hmm, that is the trick, isn't it? Getting you to try.

Me: Yeah, I'm a pain.

Loki: Truly you are. But what fun would you be if you weren't?

Y'all. I did it. Loki thinks I'm fun! And all I did was be a pain! Did I find a loophole? Am I taking advantage of His sarcasm? I don't know, nor do I care! But what I do know is that He's face palming so hard at me right now. Like, this is Them:

And this is me FEELING SILLY AND HAVING FUN, SIR, LIKE YOU SAID:

Anyway... love you, my Guy. I know you're actually happy I'm being silly. 😊

am i........... a troll?

i logged back into an abandoned account on a different site out of curiosity and seeing messages that were sent to you when you were still a child new to the internet is so surreal...

to anyone reading this, please be careful and mindful of who you speak to online. be careful of what information you tell them. if someone makes a comment that makes you uncomfortable, don't just ignore it or brush it off like it's nothing. block them, report it, do anything that ensures your safety—especially if you are a minor. stay safe both online and irl. protect yourself.

I know @istadris proooobably meant Mr. L masks his true character under a mean, tough guy act to protect himself from further pain in their Missing Half AU buuuut.

I can't quite separate Mr. L from his iconic mask.

funniest thing about having an absent father bc of work is that i'm supposed to be thankful for it bc he brought in the money.

[somewhereincairparavel]

my mom just proudly told me that I'm so well read and that's she likes how i know random stuff about everything. I think I'm finally accepting my legacy of Athena heritage...

[magnifiico]

my favorite thing about the official "this is the thanks i get?!" recording is that it had to include magnifico's bratty fckn manchild grumbling right at the beginning before he dives into his tantrum song

it's just not the same without that. it's necessary.

he's a grown man. relax about it.

Today on reasons why Hiruzen was a shit hokage: he should’ve known. He should’ve KNOWN that the Land of Waves was too tough of a mission for a rookie team as soon as the papers hit his desk. A minor nation right near the Hidden Mist Village, a place known for their brutal shinobi, trying to build themselves new prosperity beyond the Mist’s shadow? Completely disregarding any other non-shinobi politics the kages might’ve been aware of (like Gato and his chokehold on Waves), the mission should’ve been treated as an A or B from the very beginning. Team 7 should’ve never even Heard about it

an interesting thing abt jgy antis is like. where is the source of their, shall we say, negative opinion of jgy? like, 1. jgy is a villain, he does horrible things with no remorse, he’s willing to do everything to achieve his selfish, egotistical goals. --> 2. the source of this claim: this, this and this scene. --> 3. alright, but to me -- says someone who’s not an anti -- this reads differently. that he did all those things, and did them on purpose and without remorse, is not that obvious to me. why do you think that? --> 4. well, obviously because he’s a villain and does horrible things with no remorse.

like... he’s evil because he does bad things, and he does bad things because he’s evil. i’m interested in how antis came by those opinions, but a, unfortunately i have them all blocked, and b, even if i or someone else made a poll, it wouldn’t be authentic because no sane anti is going to say “well, people hated him and wrote all those things about him on twt, so i started hating him as well”, or “i only care about wgxn, you could sell me anything about other characters if your arguments were convincing enough because i zoned out during the parts when wgxn weren’t on screen/pages of the book”. it’s all “written in the book/shown in the show” and “logical arguments you’d agree with if only you could read”.

I cut my hair again.

I've been waiting to tell someone

About the model I saw wearing it this way.

I've been waiting to tell someone

I'm not afraid anymore,

To be who I've wanted.

I'm not afraid

It's just hair, it'll grow

Time will pass,

I'll be older

And it will be okay.

But great big things are moving

Great big lives are changing

They take up all the oxygen.

There are more important things,

Than my hair.

I am waiting for the chance

To tell you all about it

But there are more important things

than me.

I am learning to accept it.

I am learning to accept it.

reached out to my brother excitedly because I saw through discord that he'd got bg3 and. I kind of wish I hadn't because his replies were very unenthusiastic... I told him that I would love it if he continued to dm me about his run but that was almost a week ago now and he's playing again right now and. why does this hurt so much. I have no right to be hurt here.

the thing that really pisses me off about almost getting diagnosed with adhd but not because the results of the form my mother filled out reporting on what i was like as a child didn't match their diagnostic criteria is that i was supposed to mail them that form two weeks before the appointment but instead i brought in day of because i didn't get around to asking my mother to fill out the form until the last. possible. moment.

why the fuck did my mom's report of me as a child hold more diagnostic weight than the undeniable proof of my abilities at that very moment?

[cowardlycowboys]

I get asks more nowadays then I ever did back in the day I'm sorry but your experiences are not universal

"Don't worry, I got you." - Fictober 2023 Original Fic: The Black Witch Rating: T Warnings: non-graphic child abuse, thoughts of self-harm, panic attack

Something about this place makes her hands itch. Makes her want to take her gloves off and scratch, and pick, and peel her skin off. Something, anything, to justify the not-quite-pain in her palms and across the backs of her hands.

It takes Blair taking one of her hands and holding it between both of her own for Quinn to realize she's been tracing the shapes of her scars over her glove.

Across the back of her left hand, where it's the worst.

She makes herself laugh a little, wiggling the fingers of her captured hand and stretching and curling the fingers of her free one. "Sorry. I'm okay. Not sure what that was."

Blair's expression doesn't change, really. Her eyes maybe soften a bit, in concern, perhaps. She doesn't let go of Quinn's hand. "They thought we'd have the same kind of magic. That you were just slow." Her voice isn't strained, exactly, but it has a very distinct sort of 'holding back' tone to it. "This is where they tried to force you to make a spark, or flame, or a goddamn wildfire."

And suddenly, the hands holding hers are too much, the proximity is too much, eye contact is too--

She tears her hand free, holds it close to her chest protectively, gingerly, as--

Pain.

It's all she can think about. All she can feel.

Gasping, hunching her shoulders and shrinking away from the presence in front of her, even as something inside her shrieked that that was the wrong move wrong reaction don't let them see how much it hurts how scared you are--

A voice. Not quite soft, but not harsh, not angry. It takes ... a while ... for the sound of speech to register as words.

"Hey, hey. Quinn."

Shushing noises. She sees hands in front of her, not touching, not grabbing. Just ... present.

"With me now?"

She traces the hands with her eyes, keeps her own hands to herself, cradled in front of her. Follows the hands to wrists, to arms, to shoulders and torso. Finally manages to look up, meet blue eyes with her own.

Blair smiles, and this is soft, gentle. "Don't worry, I got you. They're never gonna touch you again."
