Writing Ángel outside the simulation is so hard because I always feel like he’s out of character, but at the same time, I’m taking him out of the traumatizing situation he’s in in season 1, therefore making him out of character to how he is in the series. A whole lot of the way Ángel acts in season 1 could be a trauma response, and I’m willing to argue a lot of it is. But we don’t know what aspects of his character are due to trauma and what aren’t! What aspects he might not display in a less stressful situation and what aspects he would, to what degree he’s in control of his actions and emotions as we see them in the episodes he appears in, and we don’t get a glimpse of what he’s like outside of this traumatic situation except for what Ramiro says (which isn’t much)

yall know that one Idol!Amy x Bodyguard!Shadow AU? I was thinking about that (idk she spilled water on him or something dont ask i was just wanting to play with my new brushes)

the way everyone has a dislike in their profile that actually says something integral about their character. lu guang doesn't like plans getting messed up, cheng xiaoshi dislikes loneliness, xia fei with owing favors, vein with lying...

and then you have liu xiao, who dislikes... cilantro. and fish mint.

(shakes fist) (putting him in a glass jar and shaking vigorously) learn to be vulnerable!! tell me something about yourself!! I guess him liking movies lines up with the theater metaphors, and there's him liking chess, but that. doesn't count methinks

Reminder...

Loving them doesn't mean you have to tolerate the choices that hurt or dismiss you...

We all need this reminder now and then.

Vessel

If you inhabit a vessel for long enough, does it become you?

Do you, by perceiving the world through it’s eyes,

by feeling every struggle, all the anguish

every single happy memory

Feeling the roots of attachment to others,

And feeling just how deep that glass cuts when broken,

Become the vessel?

If you’re shaped one way for so long,

does it leave indents in your very soul,

markings meeting markings made throughout eternity?

Is this what it means to be completed over time,

to grow?

i don’t want to apologise for it because I’m actually happy and that doesn’t feel like something that needs to be apologized for ?? but it’s been a long time since something has had its claws in me the way pkm does now.

I crave it often.

Solitude.

But not once have I craved desired to be lonely.

With whom might I feel safe beside while drawing from what is within me?

There must be somewhere I can go after all this.

My heart has stopped at the gate. I’m not carrying any shields to this battlefield.

You said I must fight, I’m here to be defeated. My angels don’t know what to say, they’re standing with me in defeat.

And if everyone I knew— lost, then who won?

They say, "If it's meant to be, it'll happen."

But someone says, "Sometimes, you have to make it happen."

They say, "Never go to bed angry."

But someone says. "Sometimes, it's okay to sleep on it."

They say. "You should always be yourself."

But someone says. "Sometimes, you have to adjust to make a relationship work."

They say, "If they really loved you, they'd never hurt you."

But someone says, "Love isn't perfect, it's messy and real.

In the end, it's not about listening to everyone else's advice. It's about trusting what feels right for you. People will always have something to say, but only you know what your heart needs, what your mind believes, and what vour soul craves.

So I spent most of my lunch today musing over what would be Viktor's love language (for reasons) because I think we can all agree Jayce's is clearly physical affection.

And the first thing I came up with was words of affirmation and realized the intersection between THAT and Jayce's huge praise kink means there is no way they did not fuck repeatedly throughout their seven years of being 'science partners'

Dear me,why do you fear the pebbles in your path when you have already moved mountains and paved the way?

When I say that Eddie doesn't have a romantic bone in his body, I fucking mean it. He may one of DC's most intelligent villains but when it comes to the matters of love and relationship, he has NO idea what he's doing. His most inherent toxic trait is letting his imagination run away with him, developing unhealthy views of whoever attracted his interest and idealizing that person as somebody completely different from who they actually are. Case in point with this comic as Eddie goes to ridiculous lengths just to gain the affections of who he's interested in only to lose that interest as soon as it turns out it wasn't what he thought it'd be like at all.
