If when Megumi and Yuuji talk again Megumi asks why Yuuji insists on saving him, and we get a callback to "personal feelings/selfish, emotional decision" i will die. You'll never hear from me again

So, as part of my language course, I had to give a speech in front of a bunch of teachers at my homophobic college, and me, being the rebel that I am, decided to do it on 'why aroace people deserve better representation'. The day arrived where I had to give it and I was so nervous because there were so many teachers and I was definitely not prepared. I said it and when I was done they were all silent. No questions, no claps, no nothing. Until the deputy head just said "see, they get it"

And that's how I found out that the deputy of a majorly homophobic college was, in fact, an aroace.

sometimes I forget that my experience has been. um. not 'your experiences are not universal' vibes but more like 'your experiences are EXTREMELY atypical'

Ok since Monika still has her admin powers in the side stories you think she could just discover them accidentally or use them without realizing

Anyways au where Monika and friends discover her admin powers but dont know about the wider context of what it means. So they just go around thinking Monika has magic and try practicing with a bunch of silly fun shenanigans because they figure it’s some chosen one bloodline stuff and not like. A product of their reality being a constricted digital science experiment.

This au will not end well

simon saying he wants to be become ice king again is so in character it’s agonising. he wore the crown again and again to begin with so he could save a girl, even if it meant the horror of losing himself and driving away every last person he cared about. he spent over a thousand years in that state, practically lost and replaced. almost nobody knew who he used to be, not even him. the new world wasn’t jarring, because this was how it had always been for ice king, for a thousand years, for the forever that he could process. he had his place in the system and he wasn’t *happy*, but he slid into the chaos of ooo as his state of mind deteriorated.

then he’s cognisant again. but the love of his life is dead. and it truly sinks in that even though he is back, the ice king would never give back the time he took from him. the world he knew slipped away while he forgot it, and he’s left as an outsider who can’t even find solace in his own species, one that moved on without him. he has to sit with everything ice king did. everything that took from him. every way that hurt others. every moment of sickening confusion and loss and pain. and those who could never feel the gravity tell him again and again that he was so much cooler and fun back then! that he’s just some lame old guy now, such a downer! always on about some girl, or staring off sadly! who would want to mope with him at a bar rather than party with the ice king, right?

marcaline doesn’t even rely on him anymore. grown and independent now. grown when he wasn’t there to see it. it’s not like anybody else needs him either, and what does he have to give now, anyway? he tries and tries to bring his girlfriend back and every time he’s smacked in the face. he’s so tired. he’s so, so tired. he wouldn’t half mind being the ice king again, because even with the pain of that, at least he wouldn’t be capable of thinking about these things anymore. he would have powers that could help people again. he would be fun and charismatic and free from being cognisant. even better than dying, he could make people happy this way too. two birds with one stone, in his eyes. at least the ice king has a reason to be alive.

it becomes a third bird when fionna *needs* this. it’s not the only plausible solution, but it’s a damn clean one. her problems will be fixed, fixed with the crown the way that simon used to fix every problem all those years ago. the most reliable shortcut. he’ll be free from life, and the world will get their *beloved* ice king back. the events of 1000 years ago can repeat, but this time he’ll never seek a cure.

of course this is a flawed view, and i can’t remotely see this being the endgame for his arc, and it could *never* be portrayed as the right course of action. falling into that old pattern and life would be a monumental act of self harm in an attempt to escape himself, and it would leave marcaline in pieces to see him relapse and lose himself all over again in that last ditch effort. it’s genuinely a simultaneous act of relapse and suicide, and though it’s so clear why he’s reached this point, i do NOT believe this series will end with him re-becoming the ice king. and if it does, it will be a horrifying event, not a happy culmination of his character arc.

As much as I love leosagi we have to admit Leo's ass is not ready for any relationship and he'd fumble the bag so hard multiple times but Usagi is just stupid persistent so there's a chance they'd work it out

[hellomagicalsouls]

having comfort characters that aren't comfortable sucks. like what do you mean you got kidnapped and your family didn't notice and you got stuck in vietnam and watched the love of your life die.

well shit, i can't complain about anything ever again.

[calethescammer]

Just a thought but what if the ancient powers are like a failed version of Cale's story? Just like how tboah is of tcf.

Basically Super Rock is like Cale and they killed the ancient White Star but he lost everyone in the process. And also the way Super Rock behaves saying things like do not sacrifice yourself and that sacrificing yourself isn't right.

Isn't that something Cale might say when he realises how badly his 'selfishness' is affecting his family? Like remember when he said, "I think i finally find my life a bit precious" or something like that. So when he's finally self aware, won't he realise that sacrificing yourself is not right? Just like Super Rock does now.

Also remember how Super Rock left all of his friend's belongings at the villa and Cale after losing everyone (in wind AP test) does the same?

It doesn't change anything, but you know, just a crazy theory.

He would fight, I can still—“ The boy wobbles, and Jason has to suppress the mortifying impulse to jump to his aid. “I can still fight. Batman needs me.” “That’s a terrible idea,” he muses aloud, and if there’s a hint of real concern somewhere under all the roiling green, well, nobody can prove it.

aka. the not-actual-hallucination Jason Todd tries the less hands on approach to getting revenge. It ends up backfiring spectacularly.

Posting screenshots from The Raggy Dolls every day until ITV puts it on ITVX: Day 76:

[luighseach]

Steve being so touch starved that he needs to touch Billy all the time, needs to feel him close. He will hold his hand whenever possible, or graze their fingers together if they are in public. When they are at his place watching movies, he will grab Billy's arm and put it around his shoulders, Steve cuddling up to him. After sex, they will also cuddle, and Steve doesn’t care about who is the big spoon and the little spoon (Steve makes them switch anyway depending on the day) as long as they are holding onto each other. 

At the beginning, Billy was always tense. Whenever he felt Steve's touch, his entire body would freeze up, shoulders and back rigid. He wasn't accustomed to a soft, loving touch. He only knew the touch of a fist, the feel of a foot kicking him… He only knew pain. All his life he had kept people away, always at a distance. He would sleep around, and only during sex he allowed touch. Until Steve… Steve with his soulful brown eyes… Steve with a heart of gold.

Little by little, Billy starts to get used to the soft touches and caresses. He finds himself searching for them… looking for them. And soon enough, he starts to initiate the touches.

There are bad days when his mind takes him to a dark place, and he can't handle anyone touching him. Steve understands and respects those days, giving him his space, but also letting him know that he is there for him always. 

But after those days go away, Billy will happily welcome Steve into his arms, or will let himself be held in Steve’s arms, feeling safe, happy and loved.
