Poor little meow meow and a cinnamon roll

Sorry I didn't want to make 2 separate posts so I threw them into one fjkhfd

The first one is Metamorphosis Adrien by @peachcitt This fic made me very unwell, I want to frame it and hang it over my bed. I want to eat it. It's exactly the type of fanfiction I enjoy reading. I like that Adrien has a crooked nose in it. THERE I SAID IT now excuse me I have to go cry about the recent chapter

Second one is Adrien from Bakery Enemies AU by @buggachat because OF COURSE I'M GOING INSANE OVER EACH UPDATE EVERY DAY and this one panel just punched me in the guts I'm sure we all can relate to that <3

anyway it's funny in an interesting way how the internet turned Kafka into the sad boy with an existentialist + romantic flavour instead of the author of seminal works about alienation & the confusing, painful contrast between what society deems normal and what Isn't. how the rules that establish that divide aren't made clear, how to the marginalized they seem ever-changing, impossible to grasp, surreal to the point of despair.

if you've ever felt overwhelmed by the absurdity of a system that seems legitimately against you instead of for you, if you've had days or months or years where language or cultural barriers have made you feel wrong to your core, if you've dealt with so much stress or mental illness or abuse that you've struggled to recognize yourself in the mirror his work talks about your struggles and would probably speak to you

I know I’ve already posted about this a Lot but hey. Becky and Kian. They read like a moth and a mantis So Much to me.

Becky, the ‘praying’ mantis, always wrapped in religion due to her parents. Becky who looks like an entirely different species but Is Not. Becky who killed Kian while they were kissing, likely because the bug mechanisms in her went off automatically. Becky who left the site of their relationship alive and Kian who did not.

Kian, the moth, who flew across the country for his best friends, one of whom he had fallen for and the other he easily Could have. Kian who walked to Becky’s house, and drove to the tree with her. Kian who died in pursuit of the things he loved, burnt up by his passion. Kian who was likely cocooned in his cult family’s ideas as a child and then again in his own flesh as an adult. Kian who looks like a star but really crashed before he reached stardom, Kian who was a moth that looked like a butterfly. Kian who was reborn only to die again, chasing after his best friends. Shit dude

fucking 4x04 metamorphosis man. i think it's the first time spn really addressed sam being a "freak". like it's set up beautifully for the first 3 seasons but the psychic/demon blood arc pulled it to the forefront.

sam has felt this feeling of alienation, this wrongness inside of him his entire life. not fitting into the hunting life, never having a stable home, being nerdy and empathetic and emotional trapped in a big 6'5 body. and when he finally gets a life outside hunting with jess, it gets ripped away from him. for the first 3 seasons he kept that all bottled up inside and let dean take the reigns (very lil bro of him btw), because whenever he tries to break out of it (jess, meg, etc etc) it ends horribly. and to have that feeling of constant otherness validated by learning that he has demon blood inside of him? sam must have believed that he was sick to the very core. he must have looked up to dean as his amazing big brother, who was rough around the edges but good and normal and always dad’s favourite. so it’s no surprise that sam kept a lid on all of those feelings around dean, because he was used to being the freak, and he was used to suppressing it.

then dean is gone and sam suddenly loses the one person who saw something good in him. hell, his own father thought he was a monster, and other hunters, who are the only other people he could make any sort of meaningful connection with without putting their lives in danger. he’s stuck with this awful thing inside of him, rotting away at him, his whole family is dead, and ruby is there, telling him he’s not evil. he’s not bad. he can make something good of this thing inside of him. and sam must think that ruby understands; she’s a demon, trying to be good, she gets it. so sam gets so deep into it that he forgets why it would ever be bad. he basks in this feeling of otherness and he embraces being a freak because for once in his life, it's actually a good thing that he's different.

then dean comes back to life and suddenly everything is flipped on its head. in the eyes of dean, he’s a monster. that awful feeling of alienation returns. he’s a freak, he’s a ticking time bomb, he’s tainted from the inside out. so of course sam hides it from dean, because he wouldn’t understand. not like ruby apparently understands, not like the other psychic kids, to sam dean could never understand him because he was always the freaky nerd younger brother and dean was the cool, sweet talking older bro that always seemed to have everything in check.

so that look of absolute hurt on sam’s face when dean says he has something evil inside of him, something in his blood?

that is genuine betrayal. dean's loss is still fresh to him, and now that he's finally found something that makes him belong, it's ripped away from him. just like stanford, just like jess, just like anything else in life that he tries to make his own. so he blows up on dean, screams about how he feels like a freak, just unloads all of this shit that he's been holding in his entire life. his entire damn life. because sam has been an "other", a freak, as long as he's known. the only person who he had was dean, but now he was losing him, before he even got him back fully. all because he tried to embrace who he really was.

so yeah. 4x04 metamorphosis man. wow. just fucking wow.

get you a friend who

[orangesodaliker]

I see ‘father figure’ I see ‘mentor’ and I close my eyes. That’s all well and good, but istg if I see one more person say “this proves edizzy is all fanon and not present in the show!1!1!!” one more time I will rip my eyes out. Media interpretation is SUBJECTIVE. There’s no way for interpretation to be wrong because there’s no ‘right way’ to interpret media. Edizzy WAS in the show because thousands of people were able to interpret it FROM THE SHOW.
