What if Narinder was a scum villain or smt…. (AU THING!?!)

You can you up, no can no bb. If you are so insistent on the story being terrible, okay, go on and change it! Let’s see how this story’s biggest hater does in the shoes of the main villain.
SVSSS x COTL?!?!!? More likely than you think!!!! (Doodles under the cut!!
‼️Slight blood warning‼️ )




Hey….
*crowd actually cheers for once*
That’s weird. Who are you people.
*crowd stares at me confused*
Uh…Bing bong so my brain once more decided to torture me with visions (mixing one of my fave books with one of my favorite games—) so now this exists—
These weeks have been a LOT. I went into a stress induced creative block and right after went to French summer camp?! Writing this as I’m supposed to be asleep LMAO (dw I’ll be okay) but ANYWAYS!! What is this?!
Crossover duh—but to those who don’t know the plot—okay. Just imagine ???? is this guy who reads a webcomic. (Which is cult of the lamb! Let’s forget the game exists. It’s a webcomic in this universe ) So he hates it because it’s bad. Like. Bad. The protagonist is too powerful, there are a bajillion plot holes, too many love interests—and god, what is that world-building?! He detests it, so as soon as it’s done he leaves one last hate comment—
As he chokes on his food.
That doesn’t end well.
Anyways, waking up, ???? realizes he has transmigrated into said story…as Narinder, the main villain, hated by all, and with the worst ending of all the antagonistic characters. The why of this? Well, the story is so bad, surely even someone like him could take matters into—quite literally—his own hands. Plus, he’s got a game-like system that rewards him or punishes him depending on how well he does in “fixing” the plot…while also not being able to break character, at least for the first story arc. Oh dear.
And so Narinder’s adventure starts. Survive, improve the outcome for everyone and—seduce the protagonist…? Wait—no—that wasn’t part of the plan-!!
Anyways. I’ll talk more about this silly thing later…when I’m not falling asleep at least dkfnkdjfjejfj. Hopefully you enjoyed the ramble and the doodles. Until next time
#for more context just. look up the novel#scum villian self saving system#cult of the lamb#scumbag god’s self saving system au#I guess#SGSSS au#woooo#btw yes. there’s gonna be a lot of parallels between the lamb and Binghe#im a firm believer that the only reason svsss is as funny as it is#it’s because it’s narrated by Shen Qingqiu#keep that in mind for this au…#also yes Narinder is a huge crybaby loser LMAO#well. not really. just deep down#not all of this is au canon#cotl au#cotl lamb#cotl narinder#narilamb#true devotion

failure and futility
for day 2 of campfire fest! prompt: third eye (and i guess could also count for explosion, or a lack thereof lol) @outerwilds-events
#i meant to do something yesterday but i had a crazy shift at work and was feeling lazy lol#anyways. pye and idaea after the probe didn't work#this line of text is the first thing that comes to mind for 'third eye' for me bc its the only evidence/in-game mention of the nomai's -#- third eye being special/different from the other two in some way. im curious if it is actually composed differently and has better vision#or if it is just better for seeing fine details in things directly in front of them since it is forward-facing as opposed to -#- being on the sides of their head#also i just think about these two a lot. can you imagine being co-leaders of the most difficult and controversial part of a massive project#that is so important to so many people including your friends family members and ancestors who have died in search of what you are -#- going to potentially destroy your entire clan while attempting to find#you are building a weapon intended to destroy yourself and the entire star system you were born in#and your co-leader is the person with quite possibly the most opposite opinions and disposition to you#idaea having to grapple with the fact that the failure of something he never wanted to exist in the first place is still upsetting to him -#- because despite their differences he still sympathizes with pye who was so confident and wanted it to work so badly#and both of them as well as anyone else working at the sun station put so much time and energy into constructing it#and that work was so miserable due both to the heat and the tension due to their differing opinions and their own mixed feelings on it#pye having to admit defeat to everyone else working on the project who were so excited for this to finally give them the answer#in front of idaea who was so convinced that it was a bad idea and who she was probably desperate to prove wrong#in front of the entire crew of people who had spent probably months in miserable working conditions#after she had been so confident that it would work and so insistent that this was the only way#and she had to admit not only that it failed but that it couldn't possibly work. that deep down she knew and had probably known for a while#- that it would never work and had continued working on it anyway because she wanted it to work so bad#anyways. the fucking brainworms#tried out a new style for this and i really like how it turned out#outer wilds#outer wilds spoilers#outer wilds nomai#frostgnaw draws

sometimes the laziness takes over your body while you are at work and you forget to make an effort to interact with people and then one day you are like why do the people around me seem hesitant to speak to me. girl it is because you forgot you had to say out loud words to get that to happen
#but it's so much effortttt#i know it vastly improves the vibes and people let you get away with small mistakes more and it's in general good to get along with others#but my godd#having the same struggle i've had every day of my adult life that has not changed no matter what i do or how capable i become which is that#deep down i really do kind of hate this#in a way that is kind of unrelated to whether i like a person or not or whether we get along well or don't#those things do not fix the problem because the problem is when they like me i'm being me well. and when they don't i'm not#it's not even really a judgement on me it's not my fault i hate this it's just a fact of life that to get a result you perform an action#but then you start feeling like a robot and it makes you crazy

sigh...
[puts on my clown hat] alright. i need to say something.
people trying to say that trans/nonbinary representation in veilguard is the worst thing thats happened to the trans community in the last half a year (im exaggerating here but u get my point) need to sit down and ask themselves a couple of questions.
1. Are you nonbinary? If not, do you know someone who is? Have you talked to them about their experiences and what its like to not fit into the strict gender binary that permeates our society on almost every level?
2. Do you think that your experiences are universal?
if you answer no and yes in that order, then i'm going to have to ask you to please put the keyboard aside and go do some self-reflection.
Because frankly. I'm kind of starting to get sick of seeing binary people try to talk about this while completely not understanding the experience and also thinking that their personal perspective is the only true and correct one.
Like, the amount of times ive seen people COMPLETELY misinterpret the scene with Taash and Neve talking in the dining room is ridiculous.
Some things are just not about you. And that's okay <3
#valtalks#dragon age fandom critical#da fandom critical#datv positive#that scene is not about hating women. its just not#no matter how much u try to twist it to fit ur bad-faith take#like. i understood what that scene was saying fucking IMMEDIATELY#its really not that hard to grasp. and yet.#like. its not that deep. its realistic#if you want to bash a dragon age game about misogyny. how about we talk of dao. or da2.#like i love those games to bits but they did not age all that well!#and why are we treating a game published by EA of all companies as like.#something that is supposed to be on par with academic texts about the issues of patriarchy and capitalism#its an AAA game for fucks sake 😭#of course its not gona go into depth on these topics. r you like. serious rn.#what happened to the simple joy of being able to finally play a nonbinary character without having to run a constant de-gendering filter#in your head.#because there arent rly any other AAA games that give that simple joy to people in the way that veilguard does#just letting u choose ur pronouns and then forgetting about that aspect of ur character for the entire game is one thing#which isnt bad necessarily#but letting it be an actual part of your character? that you can bring up when relevant? thats kind of very good#you cant tell me that the devs didnt even try to make the trans rep in this game good#because they clearly did. and they did great#everything can have flaws everything can need improving#especially when we talk about representation of minority groups in AAA games#but why are we shitting on the genuinely good steps forward that are being made#what is this accomplishing?#like genuinely sit down and ask yourself. what is the purpose. what is the goal. what do u hope to accomplish#anyway this fandom makes me insane im going back to drawing shitposts

☆ love; heretical and divine
{☆} characters tsaritsa {☆} notes cult au, yandere, drabble, gender neutral reader {☆} warnings blood {☆} word count 0.8k
To love a God is heretical. It is an act of blasphemy– it is to drag them down from their throne of hollow gold, to topple the pedestal the worshipers uphold on their shoulders like lambs at the herders heel. It is the act of forcing them to their knees and ripping that beating heart of glorious gold and beautiful, cruel divinity from their chest, so pure it burns.
To love a God is to make them sin. To make them painfully, horribly human.
To love a God is to sin.
The love of a worshiper is no love at all, brilliant in its raw purity, untainted by sin. It is fear and obedience masked by adoration so overpowering it corrupts. It makes the lamb so unquestioning in it's faith it will never question the knife that cuts, the teeth that rip, the claws that tear. If the Creator deemed them unworthy of the very life crafted by their hands, then they must have committed a sin so grave there lay no salvation for their horrid soul.
But she is no worshiper– her lips speak of heresy as easily as she breathes, her words nothing but lies, cold and cruel like the ice that crawls along her skin like webs.
She loves a God like a lover should.
A damned sinner reaching longingly for the heavens.
She loves a God in the subtle brush of their lips, their muffled voices behind closed doors as they indulge in curiosity untamed. She is a sinner through and through, but she feels herself fall further with every brush of her hand across their cheeks, every touch she bestows upon them like a lover. She memorizes the imperfections of their body like memorizing a map– every scar, every mark, every line drawn on their body like a canvas, her touch the brush that stains the pristine white.
No devoted lamb shall ever see the painting they create in these stolen moments– it is for the eyes of a heretic so vile it makes them shudder, their body dirtied by the love of a woman so vile even their divinity is obscured by the ice.
The lambs may be satisfied with fleeting glimpses of gold and empty words from lips that guide them to the jaws of the wolves, but she is not. Her hands crave them like a starving hound, aching to touch that imperfect skin hidden by the veil of gold that obscures the painfully human body beneath. She longs to free them from the golden cage that binds them– to see their wings blot out the sky, their divinity tainted by sin and making them all the more beautiful for it.
It is a longing that leaves a festering wound that cannot heal, will not heal. Even if it could, she would not let it.
For as much as she tries, deny it as she may, she is no better then the blind lambs following the herder who holds a blade in their hand, glittering like gold in the sun, stained by dull red.
She is a fool, and what a fool they make of her with the touch of their hands against her skin– so cold it leaves frost on their fingertips. Yet they do not fear the cold, mapping out every inch of her imperfections, carved into her body by her own hands.
She has always been a heretic, cursing the divine until she could speak no more, but if divinity can be found in them – in this love that consumes, that burns her hands and her lips – then she is a Saint, praying at the altar until her throat bled.
But in the end, she has and will always be a cold woman with hands stained with blood. Until it is all she can taste, until it is all she can smell, until it is all she can feel. These hands of hers, heretical and divine, will bleed the God from their veins– she will become the wolf to their lamb until the rivers of Teyvat run gold with their ichor, until the gold bleeds into red, the taste of their divinity on her tongue.
Until she drags a God from their lofty throne and makes of them a monster.
There is no greater triumph to the heretic then to love a God into sin. To make a God sin to love.
To love is to be human, and they are no God.
Even if she must tear the gold from their very being until all that's left is something human. Even if Teyvat crumbles and decays, even if it begins over and over again..
She will do it again and again, until the gold can bleed no longer. Until her sins grow too great for Teyvat to contain.
To love a God is to devour, and be devoured. An endless cycle of sin that dulls the glow of gold into something new– something horrifying and divine, in it's own right. Something just as horrid as her, just as divinely corrupted by the sins she carries on her shoulders like a trophy, as gold as the sun and as cold as ice.
Divinity, carved into something human by love all consuming, until it all bleeds away and they begin their dance anew, for as many cycles as it takes.
An eternity, if she must, of dooming this world of theirs to fire and decay for a glimpse of the being snared by their golden shackles.

Arrow if Slade and Oliver had a fucked up toxic romantic thing going

#im dead serious this would've made the show better#there's a video essay that talks about how Felicity ruined the show and like. i liked Felicity but theyre right#if we didnt have to suffer through 7 or 8 seasons of olicity that would've been so much better#and really you can never go wrong with toxic violent ships#just imagine slade turning against oliver but also them being in love like the conflicted emotions???#slade comes back to get revenge and oliver has to deal with the fact that he still loves him. as he's actively trying to destroy his life#and because of the mirakuru slade's emotions are distorted but deep down he loves him too#he still kills his mom. and get sent to lian yu#but then when there's the adrian chase thing and he goes to lian yu slade is cured like in the show#and instead of parting ways or whatever i can't remember slade joins team arrow#at that point i think team arrow low-key sucked so this would've immediately improved it by 90%#and then theres a lot of pining and eventually they do get together. and there's no william also ive decided#and obviously no olicity baby so no future flashforward#well actually they should've stopped the show when the flashbacks were over#why am i talking about this show i havent seen it in years.#sladiver#oliver queen#slade wilson#arrow cw

It tickles me that my most successful fic is centered around Pomni being the jealous one in the relationship when canonically Ragatha is the one who’s shown to get huffy when Pomni decides to hang out with someone who isn’t her.
#remember all those Pomni getting cucked by Princess Loolilaloo memes?#pepperidge farm remembers#I know she said “us” but in my heart I heard “me”#imagine Ragatha getting possessive of Pomni’s attention#Pomni gradually becoming friendlier with everyone else (including Jax) and Ragatha getting so so conflicted by it#She should be happy that Pomni’s getting along so well with the others#it’s what she wanted#for Pomni to not feel alone#to feel more at home#she should be glad that Pomni wants to hang out with Gangle and Zooble#feel grateful that she seems more relaxed around Kinger#be relieved that Pomni can somehow find a way to smile at Jax’s antics#so why does it ache so much when Pomni seems to be getting better?#maybe it’s because deep down she knows Pomni never needed her to feel safe and stable to begin with#*this all in Ragatha’s head btw because I’m fully convinced she has no self worth beyond her usefulness as a source of comfort*#I think it’s really funny how the more Pomni grows to appreciate Ragatha’s friendship#the more worried Ragatha gets that she’s doing a shit job at becoming friends with her#they really are asymptotic#they are so close to getting on the same page but while Pomni is getting better at communicating#Ragatha continues to internalize her feelings to the point she literally has to be drugged to start speaking honestly#this is just my verbose way of saying I want more jealous Ragatha content#pomni#ragatha#ragapom#biscuitbites

omfg it’s almost midnight here and i have to get up for work at 5 AM but let me compose at least some of my thoughts …
ok idia x robot girl! reader … hear me out 🥺
someone he creates to cure his loneliness of companionship in a tender way that ortho just cannot do; ugh i’m imagining a plain head just sitting on the desk, stripped down to the metal and skinless; him asking which eye color you like the best until it lands upon yours;
the midnight conversations as he builds a body; the pining from the reader (is it actual pining or are you just scraping the edges of desperate self perseverance so he doesn’t trash you like the other models); kind of dream-like transition between adding each body parts (like imagine yourself lying in a tub of ink — cheeks, nose, lips, a slight peel of your forehead visible — and eventually it all drains down as more and more body parts are added);
the first very touch of human flesh upon you; the cracked polystyrene blinks that you give with twitchy eyelashes; you siphon your romantic tendencies between a messy mélange of gritty 18+ hentai and victorian romance novellas; idia pours his damned and tormented soul into making you perfect for him and you pour yourself willingly into the image, designed just for one man <3
past midnight edit:
BRUH TO THIS SOnG
youtube
yeah to this fuckin banger
((past midnight edit again: there are really only two ways you can go with robot main characters: the building process or the robot being oblivious and thinking they are human (Ex Machina or Twilight Zone) i enjoy both sooo much))
#ugh writing this made me remember the little Fake Plastic Trees AU i had#back in like jan 2023 i wanted to write jade and reader in kinda of a lorax world#artificial seas and artificial plants#and as a man who really enjoys nature for its gruesomeness and it’s beauty AND as a merman it sets jade into a deep depression#and the reader is able to smuggle one from a part of the city to bring home to her husband#the one being a little potted plant#but WHOOPS all doesn’t go well and it happens to all go very bad#i mean the AU was inspired by a radiohead song it ain’t gonna be a happy end#tho i did like the idea of them already having an entire greenhouse in this kinda hidden basements#very vividly remember having to move a water heater to get down to it when brainstorming this WIP#oh yeah#twisted wonderland x reader#idia shroud x reader#idia x reader#rereading book 6 during some breaks throughout the days and just IDIA AND ROBOT GIRL#THE HORRORS AND THE ROMANCES#this idea is probably not original in the TWST space / Idia Shroud fandom but really idk#i might post a longer concept post for it#also what’s one more robot reader x idia in what i assume is an already DRY economy of fanfics#Youtube

i’m realizing that one of my favorite ways to create a character is by first establishing a major flaw of theirs and then examining how that will inevitably fuck them up a bit. then fleshing them out from there
#i’m realizing that’s how i created like. the majority of the characters i rp with LMAOOO i would start with flaws i think would be#interesting to examine in whatever story they’re in !!!!!!!! and then i’d build out positive traits/backstory in order to flesh them out#but starting with that major flaw really helps me build their character i’m realizing . i’m doing it with the new rp oc i’m trying to make#like for sae (after deciding she’s a fisherman) i wanted her to deal with impatience. sadie is self centered + controlling. erin is fake af#and even for dnd characters i’ve played like immian is a hermit and naive while tinni is SCARED as FUCK!#i really honestly believe flaws are greatttt for your characters story. like just in general really good for a guy to have negative traits#that will impact the narrative in a way that almost feels inevitable and thus force them to confront it OR succumb to it#so instead of starting with going Oh Well Sae is Nice and working from there i’m able to say oh sae is actually pretty hot headed deep down#which allows me to build more traits based off of that… she’s resilient bc she doesn’t want to BE hot headed. stubborn as fuck#wise bc she wants to grow. slow talking bc of her afi which connects to her backstory which connects to being hot headed#guys is this anything at all. is this microphone on. it’s 2am#lee chat

Marc's moto3 children being 1, 2 and 4, Marc's moto2 children being 3 (and 12) maybe someone should open an academy.
about moto3 and moto2 qualifying in le mans 2025
you know, the thing is that at some point we will have to start differentiating between marcling (marc fan) (literally half the current moto2 grid and what feels like 95% of the moto3 grid) and marcling (kid marc trains with on the reg, like diogo or david) and marcling (kid managed by vertical, like max) bc mamma mia, those children are OBSESSED with the goat. whew!
#anonymous#answered#ive talked about this before but the problem with 'opening an academy' is that. well. vale 'opened an academy'#like marc cannot actually... i mean he CAN but he knows what this will lead to inevitably#right now those kids are just kids he trains with. kids he gives advice. kids who take inspiration from him. kids connected to him yes#but not officially his proteges. nothing binding. nothing like VRA#but if there ever IS a marquez academy... well theres no way there wont be a rivalry with vales academy. thats just how things will be#same with marc owning a motogp team... even co-owning one#none of his riders will be free from the comparisons and none of his riders will be free from the transcendent rosquez rivalry#MORE even than marc himself has right now with vale's academy riders bc its not the same level. everyone knows deep down that#those kids are no match for marc and that the only rider connected to vale who COULD try and fight marc on track and maybe win sometimes#is vale himself#but if marc ever has actual proteges the way vale has them? if marc ever walks the grid and whispers in their ears and claps their thighs?#those riders will forever be caught in this stupid fucking capulet and montague war and i get the feeling marc doesnt really care for that#and least not YET. hes got other stuff to do right now. but you know.................................. who knows :)#marc voice im not interested in fighting a war RIGHT NOW.

your mental illnesses, disabilities, your trauma etc and the way those things have effected you and your life are not your fault. Don’t ever let anybody convince you otherwise- including yourself <3
#you’re not a loser or a lost cause. you’re just in a lot of pain and don’t currently have the resources to help yourself heal that pain#you’re not worthless for not living up to what you feel or have been told you need to live up to.#you’re not a failure for taking breaks for your mental well being. you’re not a failure for not producing money for a corporation.#you’re just a human having a really hard time so please be gentle with yourself#I know this is so much easier said than done#I have a really difficult time with this concept#like I think I know deep down it’s not my fault I have a chemically unbalanced brain#but it can be hard to not just project those feelings for yourself and the harsh words/actions of others inward

people are of course free to feel how they want about things regarding isat and what parts of the story/characters/gameplay etc they like and dislike.. Hell i sure have things i dislike along with all my love for the game. but i feel like a lot of the grievances i've seen about the artbook are just taking something that's clearly a joke too seriously, in an extra content book that's just meant to show some behind the scenes and creators thoughts. Like komaeda's in this book ok lets chill out
#i dont think 'i forgive you kitten' is the hill to die on about mental health. Actually can i say skmething. Can i say something#I think it's fine and even interesting for the party to have views on siffrin post-loops that honestly aren't helpful or healthy#or what siffrin needs (And vice versa from siffrin's side too.!) of course they all love and care for eachother#in such a deep way that they are inseperable no matter their actual physical distance. but. theyre human and thats why isat's chara writing#is so beloved .. so its fine to explore the possibility of their skewed views of siffrin. Like in their view they woke up#On the day of the end of the world. And the silly funny kind of mysterious fella in their party is suddenly going crazy and also omniscient#And then they find out through a third party(yeowch) a General Jist of what's been going on#so at JUST the end of the game yes i think their view of the situation is going to be far removed from what actually happened#Until siffrin opens up about the severity of it. Or lack of if you're the guy who soeedrsn the game in 14 loops#Also its quite heavily wstablished that genuine empathy and emotional connection does NOT come easily to odile#and she's slightly condescending multiple times (character flaw otherwise(charm point. to me))#so really that seemsnlike a frustratingly Odile way to conceptualize it to me LMFAO#is it realistically a good way to view your dear family who just had a severe psychotic break because of the torture nexus NO.#but does that make it interesting from a character standpoint Well yes.#This kind of got away from me. I like odile :)#by 'things i dislike' in this post i mean that some of the dialogue grates on me heavily. Yes its the thmblr game and i respect that#Does not mean i have all of the tumblresque dialogue that often made me roll my eyes. However#it is forgiven in the way that some of it comes back around by changing with the loops and turning into something genuine#and character defining. best example is the nya bit. First time j was like uuuuhg fucking ok we get it he's a catboy made in the blorbo lab#And then it comes around as them getting jnsanely frustrated with the loops themselves the repetition their disability#which is a cinstant reminder to every reset going back to a strained relationship with bonnie. the loop where he hits the counter#And just sits to shut down in silence made me go Ok i forgive the nya bit. And then when they break the counter of course we all love it.#ACTUALLY that bit is a very Odile character moment too. When she genujnely offers for someone else to lead#But because of odiles past being slightly condescending(even as jokes) + siffrins own martyr complex he takes it as being seen as incapable#Sorry i love the messy intricacies i hope nobody fucking reads all this

I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!
The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!
The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!
The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!
And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!
I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!
Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)
#pokemon#pokemon tcg#long post#i have deep affection for bulbasaur as well though and i also love the bulbasaur/ivysaur cards in this set#i SO wish we'd gotten art of the final evolutions in the same style as the pre-evos' standard cards!!#(yes i do love the full art ones but i also love the illustrations on the standard cards!)#from the way the settings in these two were going; i would have imagined blastoise to be set at night (??)#i LOVE pokemon cards. i can't keep up with every set but i started collecting again now and then a few years ago#and 151 has really got me wanting the full set the way i haven't since childhood. SO many beautiful illustrations (but there always are)#it's like having little pieces of art of my favorite characters and it's only.. slightly... less expensive than actually commissioning ....#i KNOW it's less expensive to buy the individuals online but it's so much less fun#part of the fun is having YOUR own pokemon journey ((going to the store)) and seeing what YOU encounter ((when you open the pack))#i do buy them online sometimes but i usually dont form as strong associations with them as when i open a pack in a certain setting or place#i tend to try to save them to open right before a significant event like starting something new or a holiday. so that i form associations#and it's like 'oh that's the galarian obstagoon from when my mom came home for christmas'#and 'that's the snorlax who reassured me when i was hurt'#i don't buy them too often so i've got to make it count#anyway i know i should wait for the prices on this one to come down because it's absolutely ridiculous#i didn't buy anything at release because i was like $6 for one booster pack??? but i couldn't take just sitting and watching them sell out#i really like the poster because i can look at so many beautiful pictures all together#i could say stuff like this about literally every pokemon illustration (if i had time to write it out) and sometimes i've wanted to#i just chose these two because these are a couple of my original favorite pokemon and i just couldn't keep it to myself. i LOVE these

years ago i remember someone saying about dave strider that either he’s gay or he’s bisexual but deep down too misogynistic to actually have a fulfilling romantic relationship with a woman. anyway. this is how i see dean winchester
#i truly do not think dean as we know him could ever be happy longterm romantically with a girl#whether that’s because he’s gay or because of a mix of mommy issues and deep rooted misogyny. who knows#maybe both#hes sexually attracted to women in canon for sure but#sexuality’s complex. honestly he’s gay to me#coming out as gay dean truther#then again like. Can i really see him settling down romantically with a guy either#not really.#am i a gay dean truther. i dont fucking know. his problems are too complex for me to talk about in the tags of this post#oliver talks#spn#dean winchester#supernatural#also#with dave it’s like. he means well hes not an awful misogynist but re like. his treatment of jade. him being into her isn’t actually him#being into Her as so much as it is him being into the idea of this girl he can protect#what’s that line. where he’s like ‘jade would probably just be a liability if she got it in her head she wanted to take le down’ or somethin#idk i don’t go here anymore. but#anyway that’s what deans like with lisa he isnt actually in love with her he just likes the idea of the family she symbolises
