I actually would like to get an exploration on how Tessa distanced herself from her kids after Will’s death. How for so many decades she was barely involved in the lives of her descendants. She could’ve made a loving matriarch but instead she left the country and barely had contact with the Clave. Because I think Tessa truly is not built for immortality.

I love rebel fox's ridiculously big sleeves

So glad you do — I dearly love them too. So many opportunities for flourishing and swishing from a man you would expect to do exactly neither and never

Also. You have given me the opportunity to EXPOUND and I’m taking it

The sleeve is not only aesthetic, but so EXTRA

CW mutilation: Fox’s right hand index-finger: “Ahsoka’s Gift” - In the arc where Fives (appears) to get shot by Fox, enraged by this and by her treatment by the Coruscant guard during her trial arc, Ahsoka takes revenge on the offending digit that shot the gun. With her teeth, btw — it gets a bit wild. Side-note: It factors in for the other clones that Fox is not right-handed, but that’s the hand he uses to shoot Fives. Then again, most clones are trained/raised/adjusted to be ambidextrous, so — it’s just odd all around, from the outside.

GAR armor: In keeping with the AU title and inspiration (Repurposing GAR armor towards the end of pulverizing wrinkly Sith — A guide by CC-1010, ecstatically-ex-marshal commander of Coruscant), Fox has kept his GAR shoulder-guards, a cutout of his chestplate, and knee-guards (plus one shin-guard), though the paint on them has been adjusted or worn.

Oversized sleeve: Beneath the batwing sleeve and dramatic flair, Fox is hiding whatever the rebellion uses instead of the Mandalorian Whistling Birds, in addition to an elbow-mini-blaster that fires a max of four shots, and extra ammo. (Also the sleeve is removable — think detachable bridal train)

CW self-destruction: On the reverse side of his chest-plate piece, Fox has an explosive device with multiple ways to rig it to explode. While it is detachable and likely could be used to explode OTHER things, the primary intent is a last resort gesture of defiance should he run out of other options.

Fox also has a replaced tooth (which he makes use of, but no spoilers here) and a metal plate protecting the surgery point for when his chip was removed. Since Fox is Fox, he prioritized speed over care at the time, so it is permanent vulnerability due to how his skull was treated and recovered afterward.

Do you see the knifes on his thigh they are small but they are important

I'm certain now that bsd!Sigma is Yukio Mishima. (Although, that his character design parallels Shibusawa's was reason enough.)

In math, sigma is the symbol Σ, which indicates the summation of numbers. The kanji in Yukio Mishima's (三島 由紀夫) name translates literally to three islands + cause/reason for, chronicle/record, man.

Sigma, who has only three years of memories, chose his reason for existing to be the sky casino, a floating island. He's also lonely, an island unto himself, with only three years of memories. In other words, Sigma is the base sum of his parts.

(Of course, Sigma wasn't born three years ago because, aside from being nonsense, Dazai can touch him, and Dazai hinted at the absurdity when he teased Sigma. Never mind that it doesn't make sense with reality narratively, thus violating the "rules" of the Page, and that Fyodor has performed lobotomies before, with Ivan.)

A while back you made a post talking about yakumo and his sensitivity to temperature and I haven't stopped thinking about it. imagine when winter comes around and yakumo becomes progressively sluggish, usually staying in the kitchen and not leaving for hours, always making something near the stove to feel a little warmth from the flames or from a little taste of the things he's making (soup probably), or him picking up the habit of bundling himself up and staying in the library to read and nap. maybe when it starts getting even colder he barely leaves his room because its too uncomfortably cold for him, and if he does he's probably looking for eiden to help him warm up, but if eidens not around he gets antsy and looks for somebody else in the mansion, but he's too shy to ask and looks at whoever with his wet eyes so they know he's cold and wants a cuddle

*inhales deeply* ah yes. you understand. you envision it all so clearly. rightly so. gEt in the wAy, everybody, snake burrito walking the halls very very slowly!!!!!!! (i was about to say get OUT of the way but that would probably make yakumo colder so why not do him a favour and collide with him on your way to another room)

I am actually going feral right now.

Absolutely feral. Why does fandom KEEP DOING THIS... So many fandoms in the past 3 years have done the same thing. People just do not know what infantilization is. I want to take the word away from you... it really just is to the point where I am SCREAMING.

Heaven forbid that people write neurodivergent or disabled characters as neurodivergent or disabled.

Or really, and

Neurodivergent and disabled.

Heaven Forbid that we actually write disabled people as needing help, or having “childish” interests and hobbies.

Like man, infantilization is not that.

Needing help, needing something explained isn’t infantilizing(not on its own anyway). Having a childish interest also isn’t infantilizing on its own... what is infantilizing is the perception of such. Like man, heaven forbid people have hobbies that aren’t in the “correct” age group. It’s like when people look at folks getting into Bluey as adults and react like it’s weird and unbecoming of an adult...

Heaven forbid that people have diverse interests I guess.

Or like, specifically for autistic characters, I’ve seen a sweep of people reacting to folks writing/drawing meltdowns as if a meltdown is inherently infantilizing... same with shutdowns. Or folks reacting to depressed characters acting depressed as if it’s automatically infantilizing for those folks to struggle. Anxious characters been anxious is also apparently infantilizing.

It’s that one particular crosshair of ableism that I hate

Like heaven forbid that people struggle with their disabilities I guess. If you struggle at all you’re a child who can’t do shit... Go sit on a cactus, go touch the stove and think about what you’re saying when you say such things.

A wheelchair user needing their wheelchair isn’t treating them like a child.

Autistic people stimming isn’t treating them as a child.

ADHD folks having reminders on their phones isn’t treating them like a child.

A deaf person using sign language isn’t treating them like a child. ALSO READ Selectively Mute folks having a bad day and using sign isn’t treating them like a child.

Autistic Shutdowns and Meltdowns isn’t throwing a tantrum and been a child.

Having a “childish” interest doesn’t mean you’re incapable of been an adult

Been in a wheelchair doesn’t mean you have an intellectual disability automatically(why is this coming back up so much to?! Like excuse me?!)

Characters having injuries and having to recover isn’t treating them like a child

Sickfic isn’t infantilizing

A character asking for help shouldn’t automatically been seen as infantilizing either, sometimes people just don’t know how to do something. It’s when they refuse to learn or even try on their own you should squint at it.

Script failures and struggling to continue a conversation isn’t been a child

Apology loops are trauma responses not someone been a child

Having days where life is just... too much isn’t been a child either. That’s just life.

Struggling to eat/handle certain foods isn’t been a child

NEEDING HELP BECAUSE SOMETHING IS HARD ISN’T INHERENTLY BEEN TREATED LIKE A CHILD

But man, so many times I see characters having bad days treated as if that’s infantilizing. Just, just stop.

I hate this trend so much. Like I can list off a million little things that people seem to take as inherently infantilizing when it’s just... reality sometimes. And maybe some folks would point at me and say well that’s just infantilizing myself but like-- it’s complicated.

The whole issue is COMPLICATED.

But I am so very, very tired of seeing characters written as struggling with their disability and that inherently been read by the audience as the writer infantilizing them.

Rain World... Pokémon, Encanto, a few specific Coco fics... Steven Universe, Warrior Cats, Sonic the Hedgehog... All these fandoms have this problem and I am so tired of it.

i love madoka magica however i dont think we as a fandom talk enough about how tragic madoka herself is. probably because the narrative itself steers you away from thinking about her personally. shes not a character shes a desire that homura has, shes a force of good, shes homura's foil. but those are all madoka's narrative roles but madoka herself as a person is not really looked at because we are viewing this world from an unreliable narrator(homura) who only sees madoka as those things. The best thing homura could have done for madoka was give up on her, to let her go. because every time we go back in time the image of madoka is distorted, she loses more of herself every regression of homura's as she tries harder and harder to save her. We don't even know what madoka originally wished for to become a magical girl in the original timeline. and she actually acts quite differently than the madoka we meet. shes a lot more honest and caring and bold. by the time homura's has reached the actual anime madoka has been reduced by the sands of time to a figment of herself. she has no wants or desires of her own beyond wanting to do good and help her friends and when all her humanity is stripped away is when she finally acends to godhood because thats all thats left of her. an ideal and a faith in her. madoka kaname died a long time ago and all that is left is her ghost.
