#super codependent but also adorable

[beebox-illustrations]

So…. Guess what I’m currently rewatching😬

Are there any supernatural fans among you? I’d be delighted :D

Have a fantastic Sunday !✨🌻💚

[nipuni]

I have another DW report! It took a while because we've been hosting friends and family visiting from abroad for a few months now and had a lot of work on top of that so we haven't had much quiet time alone to sit and watch but we made it to the end of S10!!

I'll share our thoughts under the cut because it's a lot!

We adored 12! His run was amazing, one of the best! A lot of episodes became all time favourites for us and Peter Capaldi is now our second favourite Doctor after David. His acting is impeccable and he is a delight to watch. He is so funny and inspiring and everything The Doctor should be, absolutely loved him!!

We enjoyed Clara, her characterization had some inconsistencies with her having several different arcs that felt disjointed at times but she is so memorable and made herself into such an integral part of The Doctor's life. Watching her change and their relationship become more codependent and unhinged as time went on was super interesting. Nardole grew on us. And BILL? Bill!! Oh my god dear Bill managed to outsuffer even Martha and that is saying a lot, I'm still traumatized I was not expecting the finale to go that way for her what the fuck and what a finale that was, devastating, we loved it!! but GOD sweet Bill her fate was brutal, I would have loved to see her go on more adventures and grow 😭

Now, the highlight of these seasons for me was Missy!! I'm obsessed, she's my favourite version of The Master so far and my favourite character after The Doctor, I LOVE HER 🙏 She needs more seasons! (I'm aware of the audios I'll get my ears on those as soon as I can) She's hilarious and clever, mean but soft and so so gorgeous AHHHHH She somehow manages to be terrifying and endearing at the same time and you can feel and share The Doctor's hope for her. Her death broke my heart, what do you mean The Doctor will never find out she stood with him in the end!! The romance, the tragedy!! I didn't dare hope they would take their story there and they went above and beyond. Every second she was on screen I was holding my breath and kicking my feet for real. To the people that said I would love their relationship when I started watching DW you were so right and know me too well 😳

Some of our favourite episodes from 12's run were Listen, Mummy on the Orient express, Heaven Sent and The doctor falls. Though there are a lot of good ones really, all the ones with Missy in them, Deep Breath, Flatline, Oxygen, the heist one, Thin Ice, The pilot, the one with the ghosts underwater, the ones with the pyramid monks, the parts with River, the one with the boxes and Zygons, the last special, all really enjoyable!!

We are also five episodes into S11 and I have to admit that despite our best efforts so far we are not enjoying Chibnall's writing at all 😫 but it's still early so we stay hopeful, maybe it's just a rough start and it will pick up after all the exposition. We will keep going so that we are all caught up by the time the new season starts airing!!

I hope you are all doing well! I am once again apologizing for not replying to asks in ages!! I've been mostly away from social media for months outside of posting every now and then so they keep piling up and it's become intimidating 😫 but I'll get to them soon!!

I also wanted to thank you for all the kind comments and tags on my art and photos, they really keep me going so I'm very grateful!! 😭💖

I know I'm terminally coffin-brained lately but hear me out it really bothers me that the perception of the Coffin of Andy & Leyley is ONLY "hehe incest cannibalism game" which is....not EXACTLY inaccurate but it certainly simplifies it ya know??? like I call it the incest cannibalism game too as a joke but I'm realizing there are a lot of people who think of it as like...a porn game? & btw I'm not AGAINST porny games or whatever I just think it's reductive & inaccurate to call Andy & Leyley that when in reality there is not even (so far) any textual sexual content beyond a demonic vision of a possible future. yes very obviously their relationship does have a sexual & romantic undertone, but it's compelling specifically because it's a complex story about siblings who have been genuinely fucked over by their parents & the world & they have developed a topically obsessive codependent relationship as a result.

like the initial conversation that the game's title is based on is Andrew casually half-jokingly talking about killing himself & it's just so..... narratively delicious. Ashley is not some horny one-dimensional slut who just wants to fuck her brother? Her reaction to Andrew talking about suicide is to joke that she'll race him to the balcony & he says back - semi sarcastically but we KNOW there's truth in his words, that he's clearly thought about this - that it would be too romantic, that they would be smashed together on the pavement, buried in the same coffin & like...the game proceeds from there with these two living in this intertwined fate, tangled together in ways neither of them can ever escape. it's romantic but it's also tragic & awful.

Andrew's love for Ashley will always be bitter & tinted with resentment because he was thrust with the responsibility of raising his little sister when he was only a child himself. he was made responsible for caring for Ashley with absolutely NO example of what caring for someone looked like & he was barely old enough to care for himself. Ashley never had anyone care for her in her entire life except Andrew & so she absolutely adores him to a dangerous & unhealthy degree.

like I hate it when people think Ashley is oh so abusive & manipulative or Andrew is so awful & selfish (she is manipulative & he is occasionally selfish) but like - as if there are not layers upon layers of WHY she treats Andrew the way she does & WHY he's so resentful. (as a side note I think debating who abuses who (aside from obviously the fact that they were both abused in different ways by their mother) or who's "worse" just...misses the whole ass point.)

and the cannibalism is initially about survival & the stakes are very apparent & built super well given the opening of the game spends a lot of time just demonstrating that they are literally starving to death to the point where Ashley is fainting & they're sharing a can of tomatoes out of the garbage joking that it's the best meal they've ever had. it is highly worth noting the way their actions escalate & get worse & worse with time as the game proceeds & you can see the way they're both getting more & more comfortable with violence & taboo. this game just would not compel me if it were just randomly "lol let's eat people!" get real

idk I just feel like people who don't know the game get the wrong idea about it when it's actually SO narratively rich okay bye

(this is not an anti Gravecest post either just to be clear, I fucking love the ship I just feel like it gets oversimplified often & also that Ashley especially is highly mischaracterized a lot, even in the game's marketing sometimes. at the core of the game are two deeply broken people who were fucked over bad & who are tied together in a way that neither of them can ever escape. it's love as horror & I loooove that about it)

Hi, I just finished reading the new chapter of the 8th installment and I totally love it but I noticed a thing, that is when Alastor tells Vox that he is talking like a "beaten housewife". I found that pretty neat thing to write and when I thought about it , it just made sense, because of the backstory that you made for your Vox, he probably had to do that for his own husband when he was alive, calming him and being very careful with the word and the way that he formed his sentences I mean, and paired with the absolute adoration he has for Alastor, behaving with Alastor at that moment that way just came to him naturally. Idk I just wanted to share my thoughts, really loved the new chapter and this installment is probably my favourite so far.

I haven't strictly defined the particulars of Vox's backstory from when he was alive, aside from vague concepts, but I will actually say that between all of the things I was contemplating, an abusive or volatile husband was not one of them! That phrasing was meant to be (like Alastor's comments about the probability of someone like him being raped) a lot more indicative of Alastor's own world views. That said, I totally see where you got it from and I think it's a super valid interpretation given what's actually in the text.

Vox is, however, an obsessive and codependent personality type that is desperately unwilling to lose access to the guy he's been obsessed with for decades, and also in a relationship with a person who is willing and able to manipulate that on occasion, whom he also has to "handle" whenever Valentino gets too feisty and starts losing VoxTek money with his tantrums. A lot of his attitude in this respect comes from those two things!

To be more explicit about what I personally recently ended up settling on for Vox's time alive, however: I think he had a very boring, generic husband that he may or may not have been a beard for (and that was definitely a beard for him), and worked as a CEO's secretary. He was 100% fucking his boss and possibly also his boss's wife, and the brownie points that won him are also what allowed him to become a TV starlet via product commercials for the company. He helped pioneer the company's use (and abuse) of television technology and the 50s advertising boom, and also embezzled a massive amount of money. If he ever got caught, his boss probably didn't actually care very much because he was too busy thinking with his dick and despite everything had a hard time taking women seriously.

Propaganda:

For Shadowpeach: "ok so, we all know from that one tumblr post that yaoi is two blokes doing fuckall and yuri is when there’s themes and shit? well these two (shadowpeach) have So Much Themes. they were super close friends for years and years (both immortal) before their epic breakup scene (wukong was trapped under a mountain and macaque refused to free him) (he wasn’t entirely in the wrong but that’s another story) (also wukong killed macaque there was that, that did happen) (its complicated)

from the Moment we see these two, all we know about them is that they’re the most divorced ever. as time goes on, we see the complexities in their relationship, and they introduce a lot of the overarching themes and motifs of the show (hero and warrior pairs, peaches being a symbol of their relationship, etc). also they’re both girls to me

tmnt theme song voice toxic codependent yuri!"

"theyre So So gay divorced and have an incredibly complicated and toxic relationship. also according to that one tumblr post yaoi is when theres two blokes doing fuckall and yuri is when theres themes and shit, and these two have So So So many themes and shit. theyve got motifs out the wazoo. peaches are a motif of their relationship and in the very end of the s4 finale wukong hands macaque a half-melted peach flavored (and shaped) popsicle. this is yuri to me"

"They used to be semi-immortal bff's, but then they fell apart and literally one of them died(bc of the other), then he revived, then got semi-consumed by revenge™ and tried to kill each other for a while, but they are cool now and they gave the sweetest little smiles when they finally talked- *fangirls* ok ok, look at it this way: it's a royalty au but it's canon."

"Well, they are toxic doomed yuri vibes, in my.most opinion. But also their designs are pretty gender I think.. mostly wukongs imo. And ik eyelashes aren't inherently feminine but theyre both some of the few(if not only) male characters in the show with visible eyelashes. Also if it counts, out of the relationships that I've seen compared to theirs, most are canonical sapphic relationships from other cartoons (catradora and bubbline notably)"

For Arthur and Linus: "THEY ARE SOO YURI!! OLD MAN YURI!!! LIKE!!! JUST LOOK AT THEM!!! THEYRE SO ADORABLE"

"A warm, loving caretaker of magical children who are orphans falls in love with the fat neurotic caseworker and changes his life for the better."

For Thoschei: "i. why great

They are each other's narrative foils. They are archenemies. They were childhood friends. They might not have been married, but they are divorced. They call themselves best enemies. They are the "i can fix them"/"i can make them worse" duo. They've proposed to each other (to rule/travel across the universe together), but each declined the offer from the other. They've kissed. They've killed each other. They've killed for each other (the first to do so was the Doctor who is the protagonist and the hero, but this fact was revealed in an audio drama, not in the TV show). The universe's too small for both of them. "The cosmos without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about" is a real quote from one of the episodes from the 1980s. They are war criminals. The Master commits atrocities to attract the Doctor's attention and admits it. They are not able to get rid of each other for good, nor they really want to. One of the showrunners literally spent the BBC's money to make his E2L I Can't Decide fanvid for them and make it a part of an episode.

ii. why guy:

They'd been in male bodies for more than 40 years…

iii. why yuri

…until one of them regenerated into a woman. After some time, the other did so too. Sadly, they haven't interacted in their female bodies on screen, but the fandom makes do with fan content.

in conclusion: this is The guy yuri if i've ever seen one"

My head cannons about All for Inko

I always hear how AFO has Inko in a gilded cage, how he's possessive and controlling and how horrified Inko would be at the revelation. And I always liked the idea that those feelings are mutual between them. Maybe not the possessiveness, but the fear of abandonment, especially if the Inko Shimura theory is true.

Imagine Inko living her entire life in the system, not really knowing the love of her parents or even the love of regular adults. What if she never got adopted, taking into consideration the fact that the society we're given in MHA is one driven by quirks, the stronger the quirk the more desirable/respected the individual (looking at Bakugou getting away with verbal and physical abuse for nearly a decade without any backlash.) It's possible she wasn't adopted as a result of her weak quirk factor (you can kinda think of it as a measure of success, as utterly messed up as it sounds, it's possible that people wanted the kids with the strongest quirks first because of their potential for making billions as a hero later in life. Again, super messed up, but a thought coming from what we've seen throughout the manga.) A result of prejudice that ended with Inko never really feeling paternal love, or a consistent source of it.

What if AFO didn't fall in love with Inko just because she was kind, gentle, and loving. What if she was not only a supply of what he yearned for but also a mirror, someone he could actually relate to. Someone who had to look out for themselves their whole lives.

And if so, how would that potentially alter her perception of her own life. What if she knows she's in a gilded cage but him being her first real source of love (no matter how ugly or twisted,) keeps her there.

What if all I said about her backstory is true, it's not just AFO using her as his source of the unconditional love he never received, but it's completely mutual.

Now, I get it, he's a horrible husband, he's never depicted actually being there for either of them aside from a monetary provider. But this is the best part. She loves him, many people can't forget their first love and many others consistently make excuses for the actions or inaction of those they love. It's something you need to remember, you can throw a stranger behind bars, but it becomes incredibly complicated when that person matters to you.

He provides money, maybe the odd gift or letter, hell maybe even a phone call, and she tricks herself into believing he's still there.

She knows she's in a gilded cage, and logically she knows her husband is terrible, but leaving him or confronting the issue entirely would shine a light on her greatest fear, being abandoned again. Tricking herself into thinking that he's just busy and that's why he didn't even send a text when their son was in TWO WARS THAT RECIEVED GLOBAL ATTENTION.

AFO is afraid of being abandoned which would lead me to believe he isolated her on purpose, putting her into this gilded cage so she'd forever be taken care of by him and adored from a safe distance (kinda like Yoichi,) and she stays, tricking herself into believing that she isn't practically a single mother, out of fear of recognizing her own abandonment by the hands of a loved one.

Now what if she knew of his criminal history? It's easy to believe that she'd try to leave. And that's plausible. But I find it much more interesting it she didn't, for the first reason, he's the first man to show her kindness.

He's her husband, who probably bought her gifts, was a big quirk nerd who reads comics, was good with children, charming, handsome, and definitely the type to be kind (even though it's all so he can manipulate you later of course.) And that's not something I think she would find easy to forget. She would 100% set boundaries with him regarding Izuku and their life together. But I just find it interesting is all. Their love would be incredibly toxic and codependent and definitely obsessive.

And I would be lying if I said I didn't eat that crap up. :)

[ilovebylersblog]

okay there used to be discourse regarding whether fitz or keefe puts sophie on pedestal. but the truth is- they both do. but its not their fault. It’s a natural human instinct to put someone you really like on a pedestal, especially when you are faced with a lot of trauma.

starting off with fitz- he is incredibly lonely. At the start of the series, his only friends appear to be keefe, and his own sister- biana. He has never been able to fully trust anyone or share everything with them. But then he meets Sophie, this girl who, over the series he fully trusts. He says it himself- she is the only one he trusts. His first REAL and true friend, that he shares his fears, worries, feelings to. Naturally fitz sees her as this amazing, wonderful girl.

Similarly for Keefe, so many people have let him down in his life that he has never been able to fully trust anyone. Then he meets sophie, someone he can open up to, someone who validates all of his emotions. someone he gets desperately attached to. you can’t help but viewing the person you like in a pedestal, your brain immediately attaches an extremely positive image to them.

Now fitz has been placed on a pedestal by practically everyone, Sophie and fitz both saw eachother on pedestals, but over time, and especially after they dated, they realized that their visions of eachother, and what dating eachother may be like was not real at all. Now fitz is quite ambitious, particularly because of this pressure placed on him to be the best, to be the leader, by his family. Naturally one facet of sophie’s life he admires, is her powerfulness. He adores the fact that they are cognates. He has over romanticized the fact that they are cognates. He wants them to be this powerful, beautiful, telepathic, wow, power couple. Which is understandable. But... they have an emotional disconnect. Particularly because Sophie....well... likes Keefe, and she trusts him more.

Now for sokeefe- sophie most definitely does not view Keefe in a pedestal, mostly because she saw him as just a friend for so long. Of course keefe may have romanticized what his relationship with sophie could be in the past. But in the most recent books, he has mostly given up on trying to make her like him. He just wants to be there for her, hes pushed aside his feelings for her. So now, he’s just glad to be with her. Keefe sees her in a pedestal to some extent, but not in the way that fitz does.  But i also think people are misplacing the difference. keefe does not see her in a pedestal per se, but it is more so that he has severe attachment issues, avoidant attachment LOL. he is super attached to sophie, like they are borderline codependent. anyways.

Now Keefe and Fitz both see sophie on somewhat a pedestal,it’s not their fault. and no. it is not the healthiest, but its a result of their trauma. Both of them have been betrayed, are lonely, have self - esteem issues, and a number of other things wrong. OF COURSE they are gonna see this beautiful kind amazing girl who finally makes them feel special, on a pedestal. Sophie has made both of them feel seen, for once in their lives. Now sophie broke fitz’s heart, by liking keefe this whole time, so I definitely don’t think fitz will see her on a pedestal anymore, which is a good things. Now their friendhsip can truly rebuild. As for keefe, i dont think he sees her on as much of a pedestal as fitz, but... he still does to some extent, only therapy and working on his self esteem issues can save him from that at this point.

Okay all right okay I've been enabled, I'm gonna go full Pepe Silvia with my Care Bears villain headcanons, here we go:

Beastly, at one point, long ago, was a Care Bear cousin.

His original name was Beast Heart, his domain was idk wild roughhousing fun on the playground or something. Looked like a fuzzy Treat Heart. More dusty pink than brown.

"What happened to his arms and legs then?" mutated by evil. Anyway,

Like Polite Panda and Perfect Panda, he was separated from the Care Bear Family as a baby. cub. piglet? Whatever.

He stumbled on some poor kid stuck in tragic life circumstances, was instinctively driven to try his best to help out, but like, he was a baby, they were both babies, he couldn't help.

baby Beast Heart and the kid get ~*suuuuuper traumatized*~

the kid also has a sibling who had just as rough a time, but who DIDN'T have a baby Care Bear Cousin to help prop up their crumbling mental health, so they came out even worse off. this sibling spawned Shreeky.

the kid gets enough magic power to break out of his terrible situation and resolves to inflict the pain he went through on the rest of the world. Caring only hurts you, caring cannot save you. No one will care ever again.

Beastly's all in on this. He went through the same rotten childhood.

They're like. Super codependent.

They adore each other, but they can't say so out loud with their words because the language of "love" and "caring" and "goodness" has been poisoned to them, they're both in on the "bad is good and good is bad" backwards-talk so both of them know how the other one feels but they can't talk about it directly.

Despite the mutual (unspoken) caring, their inability to express their true feelings directly hampers their ability to have complex & open communication, so despite being each other's best support system they've been stuck in the same mutually unhealthy mental place for centuries.

Anyway, in conclusion:

No Heart actually took Beastly's last name in the wedding.

Yeah his first name is "No."

Longass for the nights and days of life Chapter Eight RAGE Notes

I had a LOT of strong opinions on this one, babes. Oh ho boy it’s time. 

-I thought the Olangi were absorbed into the Omaticaya and not other plains clans, I wonder if there’s a particular reason they weren’t in this fic… I'm always suspicious of every decision Lottie makes.

-Tonowari getting an invite to this gathering from Jake: nah.

-Listened to Cover Me In Sunshine on repeat reading this. That’s what Spider and Ninat were singing, I don’t make the rules. 

-Jake fighting the English innuendo has to be every Na’vi hearing him speaking Na’vi every day. He has to be fucking it up in a way that makes it dirty some of the time.

-The heard stuff has me like, on the edge, I think it means some shit.

-The absolutely hilarious idea of Jake and Neytiri keeping maskless-only-human-left Spider around and thinking no one is gonna question it is so fucking funny to me. I also love them keeping their GOD CHILDREN secret. EYWA IS THEIR GOD WHO IS GOING AGAINST THIS? Like, if literally God blessed me with kids in an obvious miracle way to people that all super believe in God I’d be like, so this happened. Crazy right? Anyway- I also love that they didn’t discuss it beforehand, like they just figured it’d all be literally fine. They are so goofy and fucking stupid as fuck.

-Spider giving Neteyam bits of fruit makes me want to die! That’s aDORABLE! He is a PROTECTIVE older brother. They are not going to survive his kidnapping.

-Neytiri really came for Neteyam’s ass with that intro. "Here is my brave, cool, son, and my loser son who can't say hi."

-Ah, it’s because the Olangi are our dissenters it seems. I also really like this idea of an anniversary mourning period, I haven’t seen that yet. Every time I see a new idea in this fandom I get hard as a rock (figuratively), like I didn't even tHINK of this concept and I thought we were running out of new ideas.

-Love Jake public speaking king. I always forget he is a natural born leader and speaker.

-We love an Eytukan spirit tree moment. Although, now that I'm thinking about it, he may be the character that means the least to me.

-For some reason I cackled at Jake “the fire is too hot on my legs, Neytiri!” Sully.

-INFORMATIVE AND EYEOPENING IS THE WORST THING TO SAY EVER ABOUT SOMETHING THAT WASN’T A FULL LECTURE, THAT MEANS U HATED IT AND YOU’VE BECOME A WORSE PERSON BECAUSE OF IT. This man Tsantu is a school shooter that everyone saw coming.

-Lol Jake and Neytiri both feeling wary around Tsantu because he’s just them if they didn’t find each other to heal for. I am laughing through my tears. It's a great in depth character analysis though. Usually, I hate the concept of healing for each other, and I hate how much I adore codependency, but if you think about it all Na'vi are pretty codependent with their mates. Jake and Neytiri though? They are a whole 'nother level. They built their second chances on each other. Without the other they don't have the life they have, and they functionally have nothing to live for.

-Lol maybe he won’t assassinate someone and instead will be fixed by fucking Peyral. 

-I didn’t ask this before, but MOE?? WHY IS HIS NAME MOE. IT MAKES ME LAUGH EVERY TIME I READ IT, I AM PICTURING ONE OF THOSE TERRIBLE HIPPIE GUYS ON SURVIVOR.

-Yeah, nope, we are still scared of Tsantu. He’s still school shooter vibes. 

-Ah yup, there he goes, time to murder a whole family?? Sure that’ll fix it all buddy. Eywa knows and that’s why you haven’t seen ur mate, psycho. A lot of people have lost people and haven’t tried to murder families, my guy. 

-LOL FAMILY ANNIHILATORS FEAR ONE MAN AND ONE MAN ONLY, AND IT’S SPIDER SULLY. HE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COUNT BUT HE’LL STOP A FAMILY ANNIHILATOR IN HIS TRACKS. 

-Lol I get the point but to say this shit to Neytiri of all people is batshit. She has lost literally so much, I was waiting for her to be like “Hey, my sister was murdered in front of me, then my entire home was burned down and my father and my best friend died in front of me as well, what more do you need me to loose until we’re even buddy? Murder all three of my children and my mate and then we are good?? This isn’t the grief olympics, man. We aren’t competing.”

-Tbh they are all being A LITTLE FUCKING GENEROUS with this guy imo. I have always been of the mindset that trauma is a reason and not an excuse. This dude attempted to kill an entire family. Three children. Babies. The only reason he didn’t is because one kid woke up. He is not the first or the last person to have lost family, lost a spouse, lost a child, or even to have witnessed this specific loss personally. He’s not the first person to have wanted someone else to feel that pain with him. But making the decision to cause that same pain, attempting that, that’s unforgivable to me. That makes you no better than the person that did that to you. Idk man maybe it doesn’t fit here, but that’s my continuous domestic abuse argument. “Oh, he was abused too,” well, that makes it even worse to me that he knows what it feels like and still actually went to go cause that same feeling for someone else. It’s disrespectful to those who have been through the same trauma and don’t repeat the cycle. Anyways. No justice for Tsantu. Throw him to the wolves. Jail for attempted child murder? He also did assault a kid. The last fic I read with this premise only Jake was attacked (although much more successfully) and when I tell you the attacker was given the death penalty I am not joking. Forgiving this guy alone is crazy (although I understand the investment in moving on, and improving and being better than those who hurt us), bUT TO MAKE HIM AN AMBASSADOR?? Jesus fuck, I might as well hire a bank robber to be my accountant. How can we trust this aTTEMPTED CHILD MURDERER with any ambassador position on Pandora, after this he wouldn’t be allowed within 300 feet of schools. 

-Neteyam being shy and Spider being a clown is ADORABLE.

-BOB TRIPPING AND JAKE LAUGHING AT HIM IS SENDING ME. I'M WAITING FOR THE DAY THE FICS BECOME LIKE ROUGE ONE FICS WHERE K2S0 IS JUST A REALLY TALL AND UNEMOTIONAL GUY. BOB IS JUST A BIG GUY WITH A SKIN CONDITION WHO IS JAKE'S BEST FRIEND.

-SWAPPING KIDS MID FLIGHT, HILARIOUS AND CRAZY.

-I loved the repeated family version of the toruk chase, almost the same ending but with the kids laughing instead. It’s like they’re all having their out of danger relief moment, and this time Jake and Neytiri are the adults and seeing first hand how bonkers they were lol.

[hiskillingjar]

First of all, I'm sending you warmth, love and strength to help you survive these days ❤️

Secondly, and I hope this is an appropriate question, I adore your writing style and your whole approach to the murder boyfriends and I wanted to ask if you have any recs of fanfics you personally liked.

Lastly, I have a massive transfem Lawrence brainrot bc of your writings... I have nothing else to add to that, I just love her.

firstly, thank you!! we are surviving and doing our very best!!

secondly, than you again! i'm inspired by splatterpunk and gothic lit for the most part, and don't read too much fanfiction BUT here are some btd fics i've read and liked :)

Fervent Care of Dying Things by tenuous: strade/lawrence + a bit of strade/ren. i love strade's characterisation in this, he's such bastard. i also LOVE verse strade <3

Our Animal Impulses by dysphorie: lawrence/strade, lawrence/ren. kind of a sequel to the last one, which i also really enjoyed. i just think the characterisation slaps

Solace by an orphan account: strade/reader. i'm a huge sucker for lovesick, codependent fucked up strade/reader and i adore the imagery of this one

kiss me with your eyes closed by yamwrites: strade/reader. HEHEHEHE this one is super cute and hot and i've definitley yoinked some of the strade characterisation from this one in my own work

The Unmourned by Rotpeach: ren character study + ren/oc. i LOVEEEE this one so much. i'm so fascinated by ren as a character and this fic examines him soooo so well, it's like the base of how i characterise ren

Things that Go Bump in the Night by shamebucket: lawrence/ren. really like how this examines lawrence and ren as a couple. they're both freaks (positive)

thirdly, always happy to recruit another transfem lawrence truther!! she's so important to me, and i need to write more longform stuff forr her lmao

happy holidays! <3

[alectoperdita]

take care of yourself! but if you have the time, please tell me your thoughts on the last couple of 7th time loop eps.

Episode 6

Again, the Theodore-Mokuba connection is strong in my head for some reason. Mostly because Theodore seems desperate for his brother's acknowledgment and respect.

Also I love that Rishe just escaped capture within like minutes. Arnold wasn't even worried about her safety. He knows his wifey is super competent! Hahah. What a boss! I love that image of Jou breaking free to give a lecture, "yo, this is how you properly take someone prisoner."

Lol, Arnold full-on warning her: "you cannot fix me."

Okay, yeah, there's that brand of fucked up trust/codependency/misplaced self-sacrifice I can see between the Kaiba brothers.

Also the way she collapsed 👀. I feel like that may have been an indicator of a pivotal moment/relationship changed?

Yoooo how could I (and Rishe) forget about the kiss from the previous episode???

Episode 7

Ooooo she had a room prepared specifically for him at the villa! She wants to keep the same residence as him. 🥰🥰🥰

I can't believe it's only been three weeks in storytime with everything that's happened.

Yes! They're finally sparring! Haha I love the handicap equipment they're wearing for this duel. I know it's to demonstrate how hardcore the training can get, but the aesthetic is also very on point.

Also this dude, getting jealous over himself again. We love to see this. He just wants to monopolize all of Rishe's attention and focus on him. Also adore the fact that she's basically reenacting the duel to her last death.

Omg omg, scar touching! SCAR TOUCHING! The intimacy! Thank you I am eating well just on that one bit. And girl, baring your collarbone like that. You are testing him.

OF COURSE SHE CROSSDRESSES TO START KNIGHT TRAINING. Brilliant. Five stars. I'm already going feral over the idea. Especially if this allows her to go into the battlefield alongside him. Can you imagine her fighting on his side this time??? (Hopefully not for the intention of world conquest or whatever this time). But girl's gonna be one fierce knight/honor guard and no one will touch her liege. 🔪🔪🔪🔪 Truly this speaks to my Tortall loving ass. 😭😭😭

Episode 8

Also Theodore is being such a troll. He's getting a kick out of the idea of knowing a secret that his brother doesn't yet know about. I love the little gremlin.

"I must give your maid my highest praise." Translation, you look really pretty today.

Rishe is so smart, yet so dense. We love her. This is clearly a date, hehe. The man is playing hooky from work to take you out on the town and buy you pretty jewelry (and maybe test the extent of your wide and varied knowledge).

OMGGGG IT'S RING SHOPPING!!!!

Hahaha and he gets her to accept by framing the extravagant purchase as a way to inject funds into the local economy.

Omg yesss, get a stone that matches the color of his eyes!!!!

"I JUST THINK THE COLOR IS PRETTY!" She protests. I'm dying over here.

(Also think of Jou in a similar scene 🥰)

He admitted to wanting to give her a ring because he's feeling possessive. And he gets soooo jealous when Kyle compliments her.

Episode 9

Oooo another one of Rishe's relationships from a past life.

Omg, what is with this scene with Michel force-feeding the medicine to Kyle and then making him explain it? I feel like I'm intruding on someone's specific and private kink play/scene. 🤣

Ahhh!!! Arnold gave her his pocket watch!!

We get some politics in this episode. It's so interesting to see all the little disparate pieces come together and present the picture of how Arnold may move against the nations of the world later. Because Kyle has just exposed a crippling weakness in his nation's prosperity. Any power-mongering nation would come to the same conclusion that Arnold presents at the end of the conversation.

Love the image of Arnold's eyes glowing like that. We love to see him play to his sinister image too.

Episode 10

The way I fucking cackled when Arnold showed up to knight candidates training.

"He's letting me get away with it! Yay!" Next scene: angry kabedon!

No reason Arnold can't have his wife and his knight side-piece. HAHAHAHA. I'm dying imagining the rumors already.

Oh... black powder must be gun powder... Michel wants to use it to rock the very foundations of the world...

Ahhh I love that Theodore has his little intelligence network.

So that's Michel's damage.

I like that not everyone Rishe has met or had relationships with is a net good or bad person, and that she doesn't write them off forever. Maybe in that given life she didn't have the knowledge or leverage to affect them, but she can try again in different lives if they meet again. I like the tenacity of her character.

[charmixpower]

Quick question: what would be a perfect alternative Winx x Specialist pairings in your honest opinion? Like, if Bloom didn't date Sky, Stella didn't date Brandon, Flora didn't date Helia (I mean, she would be with Mirta, but the show's heteronormativity says "Fuck you" to us), Musa didn't date Riven, Tecna didn't date Timmy, Aisha didn't date Nabu/Roy/Nex.

Boyfriend swap???

Okay then XD

Bloom:

I've begun my "I don't care for Bloom/Sky" era except I love Sky unlike most people who believe this. He's literally a wet cat of a man. Bloom's and Sky's relationship is based on Bloom wanting the prince charming of her dreams, and Sky wanting to be normal by being with someone nomral. Both of these things are very much not true and are pretty unrealistic of them.

Bloom/Brandon

Brandon is the only one of the guys that would be able to roll with the insane shit that Bloom is ALWAYS caught up in without missing a beat. That's it, that's the only reason. No hesitation, no surprise, simple acceptance.

Stella:

I cannot believe you're making me break up Brella I will NEVER forgive you for this /joke

Stella/Helia

Why? Helia is the only person Brandon has ever considered a threat to his relationship, and I think that's funny as hell. Helia's commitment to the bit and acting utterly insane (see: holding off a monster only for Flora and letting the other Winx die ig, throwing someone through a table) would match Stella's ultra dramatic energy perfectly. Stella starts a bit and Helia acts like it's her last dying will and testament. Also, Helia seems to not trust himself as a part of a team (esp in the comics) and Stella's Stella ness would drag him out to hang out with everyone more often in s2 helping with that. On the other side Helia would barely care about Stella's looks, like they'd probably dating after Stella drops her "cute blonde ditz" mask, so he'd inform her of how much he likes her real personality so often

Stella/Timmy

I think it would be cute. Stella keeps him in her purse and she thinks he's so adorable. Timmy is being lavished with attention and he will try his best to let Stella know she's the best person he's ever met

Flora:

I genuinely forget that in canon Flora and Helia are supposed to be together. Mirta my beloved disaster lesbian

Flora/Riven

I have too many shippers of these two following me to not see the appeal. I have read the essays and I am convinced they could be EXTREMELY cute. Riven helps Flora be more assertive and not exclusively do things for others, and Flora helps Riven connect with his emotions and other people. Adorable

Tecna:

I don't ship Tecna's aroace ass with Timmy in the first place, or anyone for that matter so this is gonna be difficult

Tecna/Nabu

She'd eat everyone alive. He's the only non Timmy person who'd survive

Musa:

Despite Rivusa being my otp, breaking it up is a lesser crime than breaking up Brella who are soulmates. You still will not be forgiven for your transgressions /joke

..... Uh

Uhhhhh

UHHHHHHHH

okay, so, Musa has like, so many problems. Specifically relating to relationships, and tbh she needs someone who can understand her. Someone who understands why she's so clingy and can go hot and cold bc they're the same way and having a relationship is very hard when your mentally ill

Musa/Timmy

But only s1 Timmy who told Riven and Sky to shut the fuck up. I feel like he's the right balance of kind and willing to push back on Musa getting codependent or having a mood swing on him without being intimidated (and Brandon would feel trapped in this kind of dynamic)

Aisha:

IN MY AU ANNE IS A SPECIALIST SO CAN I SAY ANNE???? No? Rip

Aisha/Sky

Personally I think it's funny and they'd balance each other out and have similar focus on the mission priorities. Also Aisha starts off in my thing finding Sky super annoying for Diaspro related reasons but they have similar childhoods and reacted in almost opposite ways and I feel that that's a neat dynamic

[scintillyyy]

anyways i have been delightfully chewing on tdr 7 for the past couple of days and the thing is i can absolutely see the intent to establish tim-bernard as this romantic couple who are well suited for each other. like, this is clearly a ship meghan is super invested in as tim's canon romance and she clearly has a love for it and for the character of bernard she is creating. i can see the clear intent of "see this is why they adore each other". and i genuinely think that since dc is trying to play it safe with tim's & jon's romances (and pushing bernard as tim's boyfriend in other media as well) i can't picture them doing anything that would indicate that this is anything but a wholesome romance.

however, this means that, interestingly to me, meghan has unintentionally created what i personally find to be a fairly unhealthy, potentially toxic dynamic between the two of them. and i can see exactly how that happened too!! like there are two main factors here to me: 1) meghan's tendency to enjoy and write very fandom-y tropes and 2) meghan's tendency to metatextually comment on her critics.

from the first perspective, we have bernard as she has created him: he's so in love with tim because tim is his savior, tim is saving him from his terrible life, tim saves him from the villain. tim is special! he has figured out tim, but because he is the perfect one for tim, he will wait patiently for tim to open up to him and just be understanding until tim is ready. and this isn't bad on its own! these are all common fiction tropes, especially in action-romance (and comic books in general) when you're trying to justify why your characters work together as a couple. there has to be something that links them together, after all. the damsel in distress/man who saved them trope is a tale as old as time. so, too, is casting the love interest as the person who understands your main character better than anyone else in the world, that's, after all, what sets them apart from all the others. (it's also very common as a fanfic trope--especially in the fandom of old, when ship manifestos were a thing and a lot of the basis of some fanfics were this idea of "well, this is why my non-canon ship/why this person is way better for <character> than anyone else"). but then we mix those tropes with this idea of "bernard has a sad life with no other support", it ends up really casting bernard as very codependent and potentially desperate in his reliance on tim. and then when she pairs that with the story she is crafting for tim: that of someone who is just starting to discover himself, who is very unsure of his place in life, who is actively in the honeymoon phase of his relationship where everything bernard does is perfect to him, it creates this very potentially uneven dynamic: tim is new to all of this and unsure of everything (he didn't even know if they were dating-dating for 6 months! he is living in this ambiguous place where he doesn't necessarily know the rules and everything is muddy) and the person who he is looking to for guidance in all of this (bernard, who is much more confident with this relationship and is the one who initiated it) is someone who is in turn desperately reliant on tim continuing to love him because he needs tim as his savior. so unintentionally, she's created a potentially unhealthy dynamic for this couple off the bat.

and then to touch on the second perspective, which is her tendency to metatextually comment on her critics--such as she did with all of yj:dc. in this case it's the (slighty cringey) dialogue towards the end where bernard is like "i always knew you weren't straight" (paraphrased). like this is clearly meghan herself commenting on her homophobic critics who are very upset that tim is now bisexual while also acknowledging that there were definitely reasons why tim was, for the many years before he officially came out, seen as not entirely straight by fandom. bernard then is speaking for fandom when he basically says "even though dixon and willingham definitely never intended this, the subtext was there and it was valid." however!! from a purely in-text standpoint i cannot stress how dialogue like this makes the hair on the back my neck rise. like. i don't even let my husband say shit that implies he knows me better (or has always known me better) than i know myself. that is a red flag in a partner. in my dating days, i used to get assholes try shit like that ("i could tell you were <insert whatever here>") and it was an immediate non-starter for me. stuff like that should be on a list of traits in a partner to avoid at all costs tbh. paired with this idea that bernard has figured out all of tim's deepest, darkest secrets that tim has not told him (even though tim definitely knows he knows) is kind of...hrm, uncomfortable (?) to me. idk this might just be a personal squick for me in a relationship, but just the whole "i know someone better than they know themselves" is just...nagl, imo, especially when bernard is the one who has been the more confident and proactive one of the relationship from the get-go, because now tim is written as trying to figure himself out and bernard is being written as the person who knows tim so deeply, he knows everything that tim needs from him and who he needs to be for tim and that's the person who is showing tim who is really is. just...not an ideal dynamic imo. that's usually not a hallmark of a super healthy relationship.

+ tied with the possessiveness of immediately giving a necklace with a letter of his first name (again, metatextual to assure critics that bernard is here to stay and is tim's love interest now) so that he can always be with tim as tim's lucky charm. idk there's just a lot that raises several red flags to me.

especially when paired with point one--where bernard has unintentionally been given traits that very well could be seen as bernard having a very vested interest in ensuring that tim stays somewhat dependent on him because bernard is so dependent on tim being with him. bernard wanting to always be with tim has a bit of a darker edge when paired with bernard needing tim as his lifeline from his terrible life. and tim, who is figuring himself out and still in the honeymoon stage would not necessarily see these things as the potential red flags they are (though also, not to pin this all on bernard: tim having a tendency to be self-sacrificing for his loved ones would definitely enmesh himself in this dynamic and feel personally responsible for making sure that he is bernard's savior and would absolutely feed into these toxic dynamics)

and i can tell!! very much!! that this is not how meghan is not intending this relationship to be read. like this is way more insidious than i'm sure meghan is intending. like, i know i am objectively wrong here and i genuinely don't think bernard is this insidious or bad. like, obviously, it's meant to be more wholesome and innocent than all of this. there's no sinister framing, there's clear out of text, sensible explanations for why she would write their romance this way. the intent is clearly for cutesy romance!

however, to me, it's almost like she's accidentally created a potentially super toxic pairing that has all the groundwork to go very, very wrong and i am 100% more intrigued by this reading. it makes me go "run, tim, run." i want to see the ramifications of this relationship and i am in full support of them breaking up because this is so potentially unhealthy. which. i don't think she was planning at all when she was so excited to give us bernard's pov. lmao. oops.

[blackestnight]

trick or treat! 🍬

send an ask with "trick or treat!" for a fic-related surprise.

the real surprise is that this one is NOT a wip or a ficlet...instead i am going to ramble at you about Thought Processes and Headcanons, specifically regarding this fic (that i remember you liked) and specifically ft @nuclearanomaly's bookshop/punk band au

jayne was like "yeah hanami's here she's a cryptid and fray's friend and she drives a truck and scares the shit out of everyone" which, tbh, is her ideal form. she deserves to be vaguely menacing in the background of everyone's rom-com plots. she and fray both live with sid and rielle, a collective which is known as "the heckhouse" (formerly "the hellhouse," but there's a kid living here, c'mon, watch the language). absolutely no one in the band knows what the fuck is going on with that house and none of them are brave enough to ask.

i definitely alluded to both hanami and fray having had some kind of problems with alcoholism in the past, although tbh i still don't have anything super specific in my head about their early friendship (other than "they met when fray passed out from exhaustion after a 14-hour shift at a children's hospital while doing his residency and hanami literally tripped over him in an alley while she was walking to the parking garage and asked if he was dead"). i wanted to give them the "edging on unhealthily codependent" vibes that i Adore in any fray+wol dynamic, though. you can't fix them and whatever is wrong with them is more compelling anyway.

the entire heckhouse dynamic is great, though, because they all bounce off each other in the funniest ways. sid and hanami performatively hate each other but are also first in line to drag each other out of trouble, fray and sid are ride-or-die eternal partners in crime, rielle bullies everyone in the way only a twelve-year-old girl can.

family outings are fun too.

random classmate of rielle, pointing at fray: hey, is that your dad? rielle: no...? pointing at sid: oh. is that your dad? rielle: gross! no. pointing at hanami: well then who's that? rielle: THAT'S my dad.

Brumsy headcanons ?

hell yeah dude

They never actually date each other, Brainy is too anxious and repressed by it. They have this weird relationship that blurs the lines between romantic and platonic.

Re: the previous bullet point- to quote something I said on December 29th, 2021, i ship brainy and clumsy but my headcanons have changed over time and now its like. a not-entirely-romantic-but-also-yes-romantic thing. "we're best friends" they say. the smurf who walked in on them making out yesterday looks into the camera like he's on the office. clumsy starts dating someone else but that doesnt stop him from Totally Platonically kissing and holding hands w brainy and doing other couple things except, no, they're totally platonic so it's not couple things. this may be because of brainy's severe anxiety about romance, and clumsy's obliviousness, and the fact that for a while none of them had any other friends. the two of them are super overtly romantic with each other but brainy's like "okay but this is platonic" and clumsys like "okay brainy my love! whatever u say ^-^"

This isn't really a headcanon but I just wanna say, their relationship is kind of dysfunctional and codependent and not entirely healthy. I used to deny this aspect of their relationship but now I like to explore it, it's more interesting this way. They got that Fionna And Cake ver of Simon and Betty energy. Clumsy does whatever Brainy wants and gives up everything to please Brainy. Brainy is unaware of this and unintentionally takes advantage of Clumsy's giving nature.

To quote something I said on July 24, 2023, I think Brainy and Clumsy should be intimate but not as a euphemism just in like the literal sense like. Yknow. Theyve been best friends for ages, the line between partner and best friend has been blurred, and they're just like. Comfortable around each other. Close and friendly and personal and telling each other things theyd never tell anyone else. Acting like a married couple before they're even dating. Getting ready for bed- "hey clumsy your nightgown is on backwards"- "whoops"- and then clumsy tries to take off his nightgown and gets stuck and brainy has to help him get it off and then back on the right way. they dont give a shit bc at some point it stops mattering. Brainy has nightmares a lot but when he sleeps with Clumsy theyre not as common, bc he lays his head on Clumsy's chest and Clumsy's heartbeat is calming.

My version of Clumsy is taller than Brainy. Brainy will sometimes call him "My little [insert affectionate term here]" and Clumsy will be confused and be like, "But, Brainy, I'm not little! I'm taller than you!"

Clumsy loves saying "I love you" to Brainy. This started because he thought Brainy's flustered reaction to his first "I love you" was adorable, but now he'll take any opportunity to tell Brainy he loves him.

They are literally soulmates.

They became friends at a young age because neither of them really had any other friends.

Brainy writes Clumsy love letters. Clumsy has difficulty reading (I headcanon him as being nearsighted and also having dyslexia) so it's hard for him to read, but he reads the letters anyways. It takes him a while because of said aforementioned nearsightedness and dyslexia, and also because he's easily flustered and keeps having to stop because he gets overwhelmed, but he finishes reading them eventually.

My Smurfs have a weird fae-speech thing where they're simultaneously speaking multiple languages at once, and only other fae can notice this. Everyone else just perceives it as their native language. Anyways, Clumsy calls Brainy "Lulu" as a pet name, which is a shortening of Brainy's French name "Schtroumpf à Lunettes."

We need more shipping positivity out here so I'm gonna go off about all the Ghirahim ships I can think of and why they're rad. Now, if you purely like vanilla ships, you might not like these for the same reasons I do! I love toxic and/or angsty dynamics, and love the darker sides of all these ships so I'm going to focus a lot on those parts. I'll look at the vanilla perspective where I can too. If you like this and want me to try another Zelda Character (preferably a villain) shoot me an ask and I can do this for other characters!!

GhiraLink - The OG- I feel like most people who ship him with anyone shipped him with Link first. I certainly did. There's a ton you can do with them man. Link is tied to Zelda as Ghirahim is tied to his master and both are pawns in the greater scheme of things. You can do so many ways - personally I do prefer the darker route that plays into the creepy obsessive side of the character. The softer versions of the ship are nice too, though personally I like it better when you can see Ghiras development in these depictions. They can find solace in each other post game- and if you hc Demise was a bastard to Ghirahim this is also an opportunity for him to unlearn all the bad shit. Ghirahim becoming Link's new sword too? agh, Good Soup.

GhiraDemi: Master/Servant dynamic is ALWAYS a winner in my book. The adoration Ghirahim has for Demise is fantastic, and makes for a great dynamic whether it's returned or not. Again, I do like the darker route here, cause they are both mean bastards- I like the idea of Demise rubbing off on Ghirahim... but also think it would be rad if Ghirahim was deeply disturbed and violent BEFORE they met. Let them be terrible together, let them be CODEPENDANT! The angst potential for this ship is absolutely fantastic, and regardless of the level of toxicity you prefer - you KNOW he didn't handle it well when Demise was sealed, and he was left alone for centuries. I

DemiGhiraLink: Real ones know. Kudos to the folks who have made it their own and put different spins on it.

GhiraFi: I've drifted away from this ship, but it's still the parallels that get me. How they are functionally for the same purpose but so different? Have they always been like that? Which one changed? There are so many stories you could give them that could provide a variety of rich histories. I personally love the angst portion here. Love a good betrayal. Adore the scenarios people come up with where Ghirahim speaks to Fi during the events of the game, whenever she's separated from Link. And, of course, depending on whether you think she was changed, he could realize there's something wrong, this isn't the person he knew, and he would never get the closure of explaining himself. Or, if she remembers... Ghirahim being cold to her to avoid his feelings so he can do his job. Maybe a solemn understanding on Fi's side.

GhiraZant: Two super different guys dedicated to the same master. Both are massive creeps in their own right (see Zant's confrontation with Midna after the water temple), but have way different motives. Zant wanted to be a king. Ghirahim wanted to serve a king. I can see that being a good source of conflict. Perhaps they could find solace in each other if they ever understood they were being used.. or just magnify each other's obsession with their master. I suppose it depends on how much either of them remember. Does Zant remember the end of TP? Does Ghirahim remember the end of SkSw? The timeline of Hyrule Warriors is pretty unclear. Of course, there are AUs where Zant finds Ghirahim in TP...

GanGhira: Very similar to Ghirademi, but give Ghira some internal conflict about serving this mortal who's so different from his perfect master. Would he hold Ganondorf to higher standards? Would he just settle? Would he admire Ganondorf with the same fervor he did for Demise? Or, perhaps he sought Ganondorf out purposefully to continue his master's legacy. I have a lot of thoughts of a sword spirit mentoring a younger Ganondorf though sword fighting, dark magic, and seeding a deep hatred for the Goddesses. And it wouldn't be difficult, Hyrule really does create its own enemies.

GanGhiraZant: Combine the above two and add in Zant's dynamic with Ganondorf, and you've got some good soup babes GhiraVaati: I like Ghirahim, and I like Vaati (understatement of the century). And these two could NOT be more different. Vaati is essentially the hylian equivalent of a fae that decided he wanted to be a god and has a serious issue with authority. Meanwhile, Ghirahim is drawn to authority to the point he "waited his whole existence" for the chance to bring his master back. Now, perhaps Ghirahim would admire Vaati for this - ignoring his minish origins. But if we throw Ganondorf in the mix, I'm talking rivalry, I'm talking petty fights, hohoho it can get UGLY! Good opportunity for Enemies to rivals to friends to lovers here.

Getting into ships I'm not too knowledgeable on --

GhiraZel: Look. Heroine/Villain ships rock. Especially if you go with the HC Ghirahim betrayed Hylia and/or was her original sword. Perhaps he has some lingering regret about that. Perhaps he has mixed feelings about sacrifincing her- or perhaps he redirects his feelings into something more malicious. This isn't a ship I'm personally drawn to but there are quite a few possibilities and Godspeed to the folks that ship this, you rock.

GhiraVolga: Look a dragon getting possessive over what he deems a valuable treasure just gets to me ok. Two monsters, both keeping a barely restrained facade, but one that can turn into a fire-breathing monster at will? It's been a while since I indulged in this ship, but I know firsthand there ARE fics out there that explore this better than I can.

GhiraImpa: Could be an interesting history with these two. Considering, Ghirahim certainly have very intense feelings towards her in game. To the people who ship this rarepair I see you and I love you.

I know I definitely missed some, so feel free to send me any other rarepairs so I can send them some love too!
