#apologies if this sounds mean

[mysticalsoot]

I always thought it was pretty clear Wilbur thinks he is an abusive person. He’s talked about it in streams and in songs. I don’t necessarily think he’s guilty until either of them say something, but I thought we already knew he had a history of being abusive? I just don’t understand why everyone was so surprised that it might be him.

I'm going to reiterate what I said.

abusers don't blame themselves, they blame others for their actions.

abusers don't say they're abusers. they don't see that it's wrong.

abusers are unwilling to change.

abusers don't call themselves abusers. they don't villianize themselves.

ngl one of the most useful things i’ve internalized from doing art online is never tell people what to criticize. don’t preemptively apologize for things or point out where you think you fumbled, it’s just priming people to notice minor issues that might not actually matter and hit you where you’re sensitive and throw you off your game. don’t tell people your weak points. if it’s a genuine problem they’ll point it out

#especially not if they’re the professor grading your assignment!!!!!!!!!! feel so bad for my friend #i cant tell him it now bc it’ll come across as mean but i feel so bad :( he kept apologizing for things he didn’t need to and it made him #seem unprepared. when he actually had 95% of what he needed and apologizing made it LOOK like he didn’t #text✨ #i’m making it sound very dramatic here but it’s straight up helped me so much with my anxiety #the above doesn’t apply if you’re looking for constructive criticism kr any thing #i’m very specifically talking about stuff like posting art online or giving a presentation or whatever

#FR MEANS A LOT TO ME THANKYOU 🥲🙏 the chef analogy is so sweet too i love it #apologies i take a while to answer asks.. generating ideas #ask #anon #homestuck #sollux captor #2023 #vioart #now im curious to know #question for sollux appreciators at any point in time - #was there any specific moment that made u connect w him most? #like for me it was when he became relieved and happy after the voices stopped #as someone plagued by 24/7 internal monologue. being "free from the voices” sounded absolutely euphoric to me LMAO #watching him talk abt finally being able to think clearly and hear his own thoughts...... gOD. MY BIGGEST ENVY OF HOMESTUCK.

pairing: akatsuki hyoga x gn!reader (no prns)

summary: hyoga thinks very poorly of being in love, but he's in love with you

warnings: hyoga is a little sweet at the end

Hyoga did not like the idea of love— it was only natural for someone who thought like he did. It was illogical and people acted irrationally because of it. If anything, he looked down on those in love because he genuinely thought they were losing their minds to some silly feelings. To him, love was always something for the weak, not for the strong who had things to be doing. Important things.

Which is why he thought you were so horribly stupid to be confessing to him. If one thing wasn't going to work, it was that. Yet, no matter how many times he told you that you were being silly and he wouldn't return your feelings, you just wouldn't back down. Almost daily, you'd find a way to tell him your feelings again.

He hated it so much, everything about it upset him, but somehow he wasn't able to push you away. Your daily greetings and conversations made him far happier than he would like to admit, and that annoyed him greatly. He was not supposed to be feeling joy from someone else, and definitely not supposed to be looking forward to seeing you. Illogical, irrational, thoughts.

These thoughts alone already annoyed him— he hadn't even dared to think he was in love. Never would he be in love, and definitely not with you. Yet, deep inside he knew. He knew that if you were to stop one day he'd probably give in and blurt out these emotions he's been hiding from even himself. He wasn't ready for that, but more importantly, he wasn't ready to see you give up on him. He knew he was being illogical and annoying, not wanting to admit his feelings to return yours, but also not wanting you to move on to someone else. He knew he was being hopelessly selfish, but he just didn't know what to do. He had never been in love before.

The next day when you confessed your love for him all over again, like it was the first and this hadn't been going on for weeks now, the thought alone that he might harbour feelings for you flustered him to no extent. He didn't mean to act so cold and push you away, but he just didn't know how to act. He had no idea what to do, but he knew he'd rather die than show it on his face.

"Hey, Hyoga?" you asked, voice serious.

He stopped to listen and turned his head your way.

"I know you're not fond of me doing this every day, but is it really a nuisance to you? If it is, I'll stop..." you said carefully.

You were trying not to cry, he could tell. He's heard you every day so he knew you well enough to know that much. But this was exactly what he was dreading and he brought it upon himself. Why couldn't he act like he normally did? Why were you affecting the way he acted? Everything irritated him until it made so much sense.

He was in love with you, and there was no denying it anymore.

"Please be blunt about it, I'll feel better that way," you said, but then smiled immediately after. "I guess I don't have to worry about that with you, though. You don't know how to sugarcoat your words anyway."

He didn't know what to say and how to tell you how he felt, so it came out blunt and honest, just like you had asked for it to be. It wasn't the kind that he liked— it came out far too uncollected and in a fluster, but it was his genuine thoughts.

"I think I'm in love with you, and that scares me to death," he said.

"What?" you ask, not believing your ears.

"I will not be repeating that," Hyoga said and turned away. He genuinely believed you were going to run after him and squeal like you always do, but you didn't.

"You won't take it back, though?" You said quietly and he immediately turned around. He knew you were crying. He didn't mean to make you cry— that was the last thing he wanted to do.

"You just said to be blunt, so I was," he said. "Please don't cry."

"I am so in love with you," you said, looking straight into his eyes.

"Even after I made you cry?"

"These are the happiest tears I will ever cry."

[angelsdean]

me, dean, and everyone else watching: ok sure, sammy

#vics spn rewatch #spn 1x10 #the apology is made worse by j*red's inability to actually sound sincere #he's doing his fake sympathy voice and it is so. grating #adds a fascinating unintentional layer to sam as we've talked abt before #and it's like not necessarily a Bad thing to perform rather than feel sympathy #but like. this is very much a non-apology and dean knows it and we all know it #sam DID mean those things on some level. maybe not as harshly as he said them bc his anger WAS being heightened by the ghost #but those feelings were real #and sam is allowed to feel them. but they are in many ways. a projection and also unfounded #sam literally could leave at any time and dean would let him go (as we'll see in thee very next episode!!) #just bc he feels those feelings doesn't mean they're inherently true #dean isn't keeping him trapped. dean isn't just blindly following orders. dean Does have a mind of his own #and in fact dean isn't being all that great of a dutiful son bc he actively is not all that interested in finding john!! not the way sam is #and you'd think for dean being the one to initially show up and ask sam's help that he'd be more invested in finding john #and making sure he's actually alive instead of following random coordinates to a case. and taking on every other case they find too #anyways. sam's feelings of anger are real bc he feels them and it's okay to feel things #but he's massively misinterpreting and projecting things onto dean #and then he feels guilty (like post-possession) and tries to swipe it all under the rug and claim he didn't mean any of it #but he Does. and dean knows it. everyone knows it. #his perceptions do not align w/ what's really happening. bc he doesn't have the full context. #bc he doesn't know just how complicated dean's relationship to john really is. bc he was sheltered from a lot of that. #he sees dean desperate for approval and a good little soldier #when in reality dean was playing peacekeeper and mediator and punching bag most of their childhood. #and rn dean doesn't really care that much abt finding john. he just wants to hang out with his brother #not samcr*t btw. we love all this abt him it's spicy it's crunchy it's tasty

[petrichormore]

(Another ramble incoming - this one I’ve been sitting on for a bit. But it’s about Bebou & the French. And the jail incident. And also bla bla bla this is about the characters)

I might be wrong but I really think that if some of the french agree with q!bbh about the government being bad/anarchy being good thing… it’s not because Bad managed to convince them that q!forever is some horrible dictator with his wily demon cunning and manipulative silvertongue or something. it’s because. they just. agree with his views and sympathize with him. Like they just sometimes think Bad has a point, is the thing. Now I know Bad likes to spread misinformation but he rarely does it in a way that can really be taken seriously, or have any big effect (with a few… exceptions).

Bad likes to jokingly blame Forever for like anything and everything but if anyone actually presses him about it (I’m pretty sure pierre, antoine, and etoiles all have to varying degrees) he’s pretty quick to emphasize that he trusts Forever’s judgment and moral compass.

Or he used to. Until he got pushed into a cage trap. It’s clear he lost a significant amount of trust in Forever and everyone else who was involved with that. And he suspected Forever (or Cellbit) of framing him, but I’d say that’s relatively reasonable considering, from his perspective, they jumped to a conclusion with no proof. He doesn’t understand why they wouldn’t hear him out, so he’s looking for a reason. And he’s telling other people not because he’s trying to spread misinfo but because that’s just what he believes and usually, he’s telling people because they’re asking him.

Anyway, Pierre didn’t really steal the waystones because he automatically believed everything Bad said about Forever being a dictator immediately and with no hesitation. If he accepted or encouraged what Bad said, it’s because he probably already agreed to some extent. Pierre, Antoine, Etoiles - they’re smarter than blindly accepting the truth from badboyhalo the Chronic Gossiper. And at least 2/3rds of them are also convinced that Bad and Forever are dating - so they’re not taking what Bad says about Forever that seriously.

If you ask me: Pierre did it because he was probably already more politically aligned with Bad’s anarchist ideals than he ever was with Forever’s and, most importantly, because he witnessed Bad get jailed unfairly with his OWN. TWO. EYEBALLS. LIKE HE SAW THAT. HE WAS THERE.

How did he know Bad was framed? He TALKED TO HIM. He went to his base and had a conversation with him and of the two (count it with me - TWO) people that actually heard Bad out that day (Foolish and Pierre) both of them came out of the conversation believing he wasn’t the culprit. Wouldn’t you know it - communication solved that conflict pretty fast, but Bad didn’t get a chance to communicate to Forever or anyone else because they almost immediately dogpiled him. And Pierre saw that happen.

And I’m pretty sure he also saw Forever hold a vote and then accept that Bad was guilty of a crime. A crime. That isn’t illegal. That he didn’t even do in the first place.

So. I’m sure you can see why Pierre might feel the urge to defend Bad - maybe even from Forever specifically, and of his own volition. Although I can’t say stealing all the waystones and rearranging them into a pentagram above Forever’s house was a particularly reliable method of doing so, nor can I say Bad really needed the protection - Forever had no malicious intent and was fully trying to be fair. (can you tell im a q!forever apologist? because if you can’t: he did nothing wrong. Maybe one day I will make a giant post about how much of a q!forever apologist i am).

Am I making sense. At all. It’s 2am. And I’m getting the sensation that I’m missing something with this one but I’m too tired to correct it so I’ll look at it later.

#and also: Cellbit apologizing almost instantly after realizing he fucked up has had #the accidental side effect #of making Bad think Forever COULD have apologized to him around the same time but didn’t purposely which isn’t true but #god knows Bad is never getting any more apologies NOW with everything else happening #and THAT has the side effect of Bad still not speaking well of Forever around Pierre #which to Pierre probably sounds first and foremost like a domestic dispute and secondly like the jail incident is still unresolved #which. it is still unresolved. but you know what I mean #AM I MAKING ANY SENSE HERE????? #if anyone mains aypierre or etoiles or antoine please tell me if I fucked anything up #qsmp #qsmp character analysis #qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp aypierre

[eerna]

"Taryn never apologized" So close! You're actually thinking of every other character who has ever hurt Jude <3

#and like. first things first. i don't think anyone needed to apologize. apologies aren't a thing in faerie and their actions spoke louder #second off. if you're gonna ignore taryn's apologetic actions and insist she needs to verbally say sorry. why ignore it when she does #and that sorry MEANS something bc from that point on she is ride or die for jude she takes her side in everything and never betrays her #i sound like a broken record by now but this is such a sore topic for me and people keep showing up uninvited to tell me about it #and i literally jsut passed her apology in the reread so it is still fresh in my mind and i can't believe people forget about it #tfota liveblog

[moeblob]

for my fake mmo plot here take my beloved two grown men and their online daughter who doesnt have tact (they try to teach her how to be nice online and unfortunately it's not going super well)

Mister Delta - a mage in game who really enjoys PvP and is a high ranker. He's a teacher irl and his last name is Change so he made a stupid chemistry joke for a username.

Lord Kappa - wanted to be King Kappa but it was taken so he's just vibing with a different honorific. Is a chef irl. Has a very big crush on Delta.

Little Lambda - the actual teenager (like baby teen, 13/14 or something) who doesn't really have friends in school. Mostly interacts with her dad irl who calls her "little lamb" and when she realized it was taken online, she googled "words that start with lamb" and went with lambda with no further research. Has zero online etiquette but she's working on it..... kinda.

(her apology was "I'm sorry that you're gay and didn't want people to know" and so Kappa was like "great thank you for this apology." and now he's like WELP my crush knows I'm gay now but we're online so it's fine and nothing will come from this and it's fine)

#my characters #mmofail #delta is such a funny character to me cause hes getting dunked on constantly by the others in the guild that are adults #and hes like dude trust me high schoolers dunking on you is way worse #then he and kappa find out lambda is an actual child and both are like we have to look after her #the online world is a scary place lets protect her #and then lambda doesnt MEAN TO but is constantly insulting and picking on kappa #but really kappa doesnt hold it against her bc she does actually sound a bit guilty when apologizing #so its not like shes being forced to and doesnt wanna! its just she doesnt know how #and hes willing to be the one that gets slammed by a kid online if shes willing to learn and she is! just slowly

[levmada]

i don't think he said this in the anime

#i looked at multiple translations and it's the same💀 #i think hes a bit upset and frustrated about watching every new recruit die so fast #so his first reaction is to grumble some out of pocket shit that sounds completely normal to him😭 #because if he lets himself be 'sad' (to say the least) then he can't fight #because during the final charge as levi is making his way to the beast he apologizes #even though no one can hear him #he has done nothing wrong ever #but in the anime they had him break the fourth wall instead #OR I MEAN IT SEEMS THAT WAY HE LOOKED RIGHT AT THE 'CAMERA' #😭 #levi ackerman

and like. Every Time i complain about tori haters at least one person comes to my inbox to justify themselves or explain their backstory and that they used to hate him but now don't and the thing is. i do not care. i don't want to hear that you dislike my favorite character and i think it's a bit of bad manners to come tell me about it so if you're thinking of doing that: don't

#this isnt really at anyone in particular because it has indeed happened several times and im sorry if it sounds a bit too harsh 🙇 but yeah #and if youve done it: don't come to apologize either i get that you didn't mean anything bad #but id really rather not hear it #mar's midnight rambles #also applies to other characters tbh
