Oh MIL is something else today

#apparently she asked my husband about us moving and if we're going to move all three of us (basically asked my husband if were leaving her) #and it's like no????? you're the one putting the deposit down on a place??? #like my MIL is codependent on my husband to the nth degree but we also genuinely can't afford to move without her #and she can't afford to live without us #so we're moving as a family #that's been established since we first talked about getting a place together as a family #but i guess she has it in her head that we don't want to move with her bc we keep 'shooting down her ideas' #and we're just like all we said was we didn't want to live in the same condo complex as my husbands horrible ex friend????? #it's just freaking ridiculous all around #but anyways she wanted to have this convo with my husband again after he had worked a 12+ hour day and he said no he didn't have the energy #and she got defensive about THAT like we're somehow gonna be the ones responsible if we accidentally got locked in another year o the lease #no mom you just really suck at picking places to live #she's thinking short term bc she just wants to get tf out of here (fine; same) and Kaiden and i are thinking about starting a family #we also want a theoretical space for Silas so they don't have to go back to my parents house ever again #but i digress yet again #sigh

Reading comments on my old fiction and someone got onto me for switching between past and present tense when it was intentional so that you would know which scenes were flashbacks...

#like i qas not by any means an amazing writer when i was 18. im still not #but i remember i edited that work very heavily to grt the tenses right and consistent between scenes #AAAAAND the person who gave me thay critisism on public comments on ao3 was one of the beta readers??? so why would you #wait until it qas published and tell me that in front of everyone? #except that i know ehy. #she was evil i just didnt know it back then #but i digress yet again

(bugle accompaniment by Yuu)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #white rabbit festival #ah...the eternal dilemma of 'is it hair dye or whimsical anime hair'. and so we roll the dice again. #so it's canon now that yuu is inexplicably great at bugling. everybody get ready to incorporate that incredible trivia into your characters #anyway HELLO THERE madam spade #i think we have enough evidence now to say that you're not allowed into nrc unless you have an absolutely smoking mom #(riddle's mom has a smoking crater where her heart should be but we digress) #dilla likes two things: BIG VANS and also telling her son's friends all about how he used to literally refuse to not dress like a bunny #and yet now he does not wish to dress like a bunny. :( deuce what HAPPENED #meanwhile epel is too polite to whine at his best friend's mom so he's just hoping vil never finds out he wore a bonnet #silver is like 'i'm the handsomest little marching band boy. i'm taking this outfit back to show everyone.' #and ortho put all his points into POWERFUL THIGHS #he minmaxed leg day and is going to go kick a tree in half #can't wait for part 2 to see if they resolve the exciting cliffhanger of whether or not silver finds an alarm clock

Saw your Mishanks bodyswap art! Very cute and fun! (Mihawk with a genuine smile on his face so so fun)

I imagine Shanks whould have trouble fighting in Mihawk's body at first since it's been years since he's had two arms

yes absolutely, i imagine that too! conversely, i think mihawk would have a little bit of trouble adjusting his balance and reach with a body missing one arm, as well. it's interesting to think about how they both would be forced to change their fighting style, and whether or not they would exchange swords.

mihawk's been seen using yoru with just one hand so he could probably pull it off with shanks's body. also interesting to think about shanks tripping up on having two arms until he naturally slips into his old fighting style again--or would he? because there's also the question of muscle memory, right? would mihawk's body automatically do things that shanks isn't predisposed to doing, and vice versa?

the other thing i find intriguing about body swapping in one piece is the question of whether or not your haki powers would switch as well. they say haki is spiritual presence, so presumably your haki switches if your spirits switch, but if it's the kind of spirit that's tethered to the presence of the body? then consider mihawk having the strongest conqueror's haki out on the blues, or shanks being able to use observation haki at mihawk's level, practically being able to predict the future--or mihawk, able to counter with shanks's haki-kill technique. food for thought!

#rei replies #one piece #mishanks body swap au #mishanks #akataka #dracule mihawk #shanks #akagami no shanks #red haired shanks #re: the genuine smiling #i also like to think shanks in mihawk's body would have this moment where he realizes his cheeks ache from all the smiling he's doing lol #bc mihawk's facial muscles arent used to doing it #and when they switch back shanks teases mihawk about it ('you exercise so many of your muscles hawky but your cheeks? they're weak!') #and he manages to get a smile out of mihawk that's mihawk's version of a genuine smile and it's softer and less wide but it's honest #and oh shanks is soooooo in love with him hahaha #BY THE WAY ALSO I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS OMG but in this body-swapped au mihawk-as-shanks would 100% shave for shanks #like hell is he gonna let shanks grow *stubble* on *his* face. dracule mihawk with STUBBLE? banish the thought!!!!!! #but shanks doesnt do it up to his standards so there's totally a scene where mihawk and shanks are body swapped in the bathroom #and mihawk is standing too close and shaving his lil pointy sideburns and mustache onto shanks's face #and shanks is having a crisis because that's his own face breathing too close and waaaay to intimately but that look of concentration #is ALL mihawk. shanks can practically his eyes--so familiar from the mirror and wrinkled with laugh lines--glow yellow with how #much mihawk looks like himself right now even in shanks's body. #it's all very strange. shanks has been attracted to mihawk for a long time but it's just blatantly unfair that the first time in YEARS #theyre this close again and it's shanks's own body that he has to look at. on the upside he supposes all he needs to do to ogle #mihawk is to look down. pros and cons pros and cons. #(mihawk isnt having a crisis. mihawk is annoyed that hia beard is easier to do in first person it is to do in the third person. #surely not having to do it reflected in a mirror should be easier and yet for some reason everything feels off! ugh.) #i digress

I see so much pre-calam Zelink and post TOTK Zelink but my god PLEASE don't forget about my beautiful daughter post BOTW Zelink.

Zelda's practically a stranger - someone who's only existed in fleeting glimpses of Link's memories. Link's a similar but fundamentally different person than the boy who lay comatose in the resurrection chamber 100 years ago.

They have changed beyond recognition to each other!! They have to fall in love all over again!! Fuck!!!

#fires posts #ramblings #zelink #post BOTW Zelink fic is also insane bc authors just forget / ignore this #*instant chemistry* babe are they even friends yet #but i digress #they have to fall in love again... and they do ♥️♥️♥️

Me: *on the phone with my mother* Yeah God has me in a holding pattern right now so I'm just chilling.

*two days later* Stuff Starts Happening

Which. Don't get me wrong. It's good stuff and stuff I've been praying for for awhile now but also... it is going to be Tiring and Inconvenient to deal with and the holding pattern the boys and I have been in has been remarkably comfortable, actually, and I am reluctant to face the exertion and weariness that the process of this Stuff is going to require and...

Anyway, don't mind me, just complaining about blessings again. XP

(I'm just. I already know good and well that I am going to be Tired for the next few months. Really really Tired. Even with trusting and praying it's still going to take mental and physical energy and also concern for my children and it's just. Gack.)

(Actually maybe I need to be praying that I will soon meet a dependable, trustworthy babysitter so that my children can get to know and trust them before the impending periods of hours of separation. And yeah yeah "Bri just hours?" but keep in mind my children have never been separated from me except once, my eldest stayed with my in-laws while I was in the hospital giving birth to my second son and that Did Not Go Well. Indeed my youngest never even experienced the usual separation anxiety phase that happens around a year old because he has never been without me.

Add to that that we don't actually know ANYONE in the area. Like at all. Except my mother, who is currently without transportation and who I don't... fully... trust to watch my kids for like... four hours. Or longer.

Anyway this has been weighing on me and I don't know why it hasn't occurred to me to pray about it before.)

On another note, when the CPS dude visited today he asked if we were going to be okay (re: my husband no longer providing any financial support at all) and I said yes, because we have no other choice but to be, and we just sort of looked at each other. But I didn't come off as worried because even though I know already that next month is going to be challenging, I also have full trust that God has not brought us this far just to drop us now. Just because I don't know yet what He has planned doesn't mean He doesn't have a plan and also I think I've maybe gotten a glimpse at it? Little bitty glimpse? Just takes a certain amount of effort on my part.

...yes I'm a bit lazy. XP

#Nattering into the void #I am lazy but I am also tired #Not Tired yet but tired #It has been a good year but a tiring one and the last ~month especially #I really do need to pray about the divorce situation more because the Bible is very plain how we are supposed to treat divorce and #reconciliation and God does not contradict His word but also- #It is impossible NOT to see His hand in this whole drama so #??? #That said I'm not about to fight Him to *not* get divorced that's for sure and certain #If I never see Dallas again I will be that much the happier #I pray that he and his whole family get saved but somewhere far far away from me and the boys #...which leads me to the “but who will be a good male role model for my children?” but now I'm just digressing and word vomiting at once #And any road Dallas was not and would not be a good male role model for them so. #*le tired flops*

Yea I didn’t rly acknowledge it continuing off that post you need to be normal about people who do drugs recreationally as well as addicts especially if you’re a self proclaimed leftist

#charlie talks #I was gonna quit smoking a little while ago bc I was stressed and dependent on it #what I really needed to do was dump my ex but I digress I hadn’t done it yet and was scared to #but I was clean for a month before breaking my sobriety #and I had two friends I told in the car and one was like oh charlie :( #and the other was like THATS SO BAD. CHARLIE OH MY GOD. NO THATS SO BAD WHY DID U DO THAT #PSA! don’t do that #and like what kinda question is that. I smoke when I’m stressed and I was stressed #well I used to now I’m chillin with it #obviously it would only be a positive if I quit but like again I’m chillin I’m otherwise healthy #it helps my appetite (I have history with eating disorders as well as food ocd and probably autism) #it helps me sleep (insomnia and chronic nightmares) and it do help me chill (I have crazy bad anxiety) #so hey it may not be the best fix for those things but I’m in control #pot especially is only mentally addictive #trust me I’ve had withdrawal from several medications before #also if your friend is struggling with anything harder than pot like you need to be calm and patient #otherwise they’re gonna go home and have another hit you dumbass!

[n1ghtwarden]

i imagine minth after defecting from lolth for the absolute (regardless if it wasn't her choice) had to deal with baenre assassins/scouts targeting her. it's unlikely house baenre, of all fucking people, would let one of its daughters just vanish with an entire retinue of men she's been leading with no repercussions.

#tav adding drow assassins to the list of things they have to deal with. #i mean i write her as having been a Doubter(TM) for a hot minute given her night warden status but i digress. as if matron mother baenre #would be CHILL AND UNCARING abt minth just fucking vanishing with a group of highly trained and skilled fighters LMAO #ooc. claireposting. #tav getting woken up YET AGAIN to see minthara beating the shit out of an assassin like.

The way this has literally applied to every member of the batfam at some point and still does for most of them el oh el

#only difference is patrol during the day #and ‘oracle wannabe friends’ #which a lot of batfam members have always had contacts and info brokers outside the oracle #but also woooow Duke doesn’t trust the cop or his daughter 😨 #which I don’t want Duke having cop contacts at all but maybe that’s too black of me #like all the batfam members were teammates/mentees to Batman #even Steph who’s not rlly part of it is still included when u say batfam and seen as a main member #when tims parents were alive he was absolutely still batfam #and no that abandonment shit was made up #and even tho he patrols at day he very much still shows up for a bunch of night shit bc dc doesn’t wanna explore day Gotham lmaoooo #anyways maybe I’m terrible but I always thought smth terrible Is supposed to happen to Jay to fuel his story #SORRDY when I look at Jay all I see is anime mom with the side ponytail #It didn’t occur to me that maybe they just wanna slowly phase Duke out till someone on here said it 😭 #uhm the fic is good tho no hate #like this authors note bothers me bc it exemplifies the double standards between Duke and literally everyone else #and how the issue of everyone being well established and years into their journey with Batman #is never taken into consideration. like Duke has been working with Bruce for awhile but he’s not at the yelling fights fuck u dad I’m runnin #away point yet lmaooo it’s just been 2-3 years yall #bc nobody wants to fucking write for him but I digress #anyways I do appreciate the fic again no hate #just nobody said this when tim was first starting out el oh el

hate the "gojo dies with geto/kenjaku" hc/theory or whatever because 10000% of the time they always depict shoko as taking the brunt of it (burying them, performing an autopsy, etc) and being alone in the end, yet her feelings are never in the focus of this hc at all. those are her friends too

#jjk #jjk spoilers #ieiri shoko #like the fact it was mentioned recently in story makes me think about this again #and bc of gojo's return it's come back in full force #like if u want gojo to die that's cool that's ur thing #but i hate it so much because it's making their death angsty yet the one who it always the most miserable in these but never the focus- #is shoko #like shit u not seeing someone go 'best ending' and show shoko burying gojo and geto and they caught the fastest block #idk i have some Thoughts on the death stuff but it's irrelevant to this specific point so i digress #like we see hints of shoko's mental state (picking up smoking to smoking a lot etc) but never mentioned or talked about. this though?? #500 twts/posts and other stuff that never happened

Gaslighting? In MY household? It’s more likely than you think

#sad pav hours #<- ‘tis my new vent tag. filter as needed #just pav things #I have experienced so many levels of Confusion today #I mean most of it just boils down to my dad being a dick for no good reason #what do I even do to him????? I yet again ask him this and he’s like #‘I live with you’. My mere existence causes him misery apparently #He says that I’m unlikeable. I say that people generally enjoy my whimsical disposition or just don’t care and ignore me #or in the case of [redacted] try to pacify me in neurotypical ways that only ended up hurting when I found out #instead of communicating that she didn’t want to be friends. Actually that was what my first vent post on here in 2021 was about #and very ironically it was the reason me and Dolphin became friends (random skribbl game my beloved ^^) #But I digress #Also I’ve already accounted for the fact of my future bosses probably disliking me and some people out there just by virtue of being human #but i’d like to believe I’m generally likeable??? I have so much evidence to prove this that the put-down just ends up confusing #Also the amount of name-calling is insane once you stop filtering it out #I can just casually be called stupid. again without any reason #and then people wonder why I have such low self-esteem sometimes #I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m the family scapegoat.

YOU LIKE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!!

what is your favourite song omgomg

OMG DONT MAKE ME CHOOOOOOOOOOSE

Obvi the title song slaps, All I Ask of You is so sweet, Think of Me makes me jealous of sopranos cuz I can’t sing all the high notes, Prima Donna is fun, Music of the Night uhh did things to me lol, Angel of Music is so soothing, and Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again made me tear up a bit.

I can’t narrow it down to just one, so imma say my top three are:

Music of the Night (especiallyyyyy the Ramin Karimloo version from the 25th anniversary)

Phantom of the Opera (nuff said)

and Point of No Return (the movie version)

It’s so good to see a fellow Phan!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

#I was absolutely infatuated with The Phantom after I watched the movie (three times in a row) #I mean he checked all my boxes #aesthetic? check! #musical talent? check! #lives in a place with secret passageways? double check! #but then I had a dream where The Phantom was revealed to be my father and I think my brain was tryna tell me smth 💀💀💀 #phantom of the opera #poto #man I was totally obsessed with this musical I even got to see it on Broadway before it closed! #I made an entire spreadsheet analysis on the different melodies and where they were used and what they meant #you know there’s one melody that always plays after the Phantom does or is mentioned to have done smth crazy or amazing #but then someone says or does smth that really just reminds the audience that the Phantom is not a demon or an Angel #he’s a human #I called the melody ‘true colors’ cuz idk what else to call it lol #it doesn’t have its own song it’s just used in spurts #its used after Erik gets after Christine for taking off his mask and Christine hands it back to him #(and we see him go from anger to vulnerability and then it plays) #and again in the preamble to All I Ask Of You when Christine goes #‘yet in his eyes / all the sadness of the world / those pleading eyes / that both threaten and adore’ #(and we see Christine go from ‘he’s scary’ to ‘he’s wonderful’ to ‘oh u know what he’s sad and lonely’) #and more but I digress #anyways sorry that was a rant but I don’t really want to delete all that so there u go 😅 #asks #Thanks for reaching out!! ❤️❤️❤️

it's kind of a shame the devs back in tto never thought to give certain NPCs, particularly the storyline and SOS-relevant ones, special outfits that no one can obtain as a way for them to stand out from the others. i'm pretty sure i've said this before but i've always been fond of the alternative outfits clara, flippy, and professor pete wore in their character trading cards and i think it would've been neat to see how they'd go about making personalized designs for all of them in accordance to their role in the tooniverse/personality/shtick (if applicable).

pretty sure the closest thing the folks over at disney did to give their npc's "uniqueness" aside from their shops was altering flippy's in-game model/making it so that his name can't be something that's accepted by players so people can't make a toon thats an exact replica of him and giving two (2) npc's colored gloves but that's it.

#toontown #toontown online #toonblr #toontag #talking tag #hello toontag i am once again thinking about trading cards and bestowing my thoughts that literally no one asked for #character design is something i find myself thinking about from time to time. #in games you see how main or important characters are given designs or styles that match with the personality they were written with #yet toontown despite being a game where 95% of its NPCs are related to a shtick or a pun of some sort isnt given that same style treatment #which i suppose makes sense since i dont believe toontown started out with a big budget and we didnt get accessories until 2011 #but that won't stop me from wondering about what could've been if they had the resources for it #but i digress. i'm mostly using the tags as a place to dump whatever comes to mind rather than making insightful commentary #i'm always appreciative by how punny nearly every shop/npc is. not necessarily bc i find them funny (altho some are) #but by how much effort it took to come up with shops + names that also correlated with the playground they're apart of #it's a detail abt toon society that i'm sure ppl are vaguely aware of but not something thats cared for much since we dont talk to or #go in 90% of the shops #which is fair. but the detail is something that i can't help but be charmed by and have to pay attention to #the whimsy of being committed to the bit even when no one's watching

[random-anime-obsession]

Don't you think it's funny cause actual canon gay characters in BL manga/manhwa will say "I love you" but only the shounen bromance can spew out some of the most romantic shit akin to a 19th century poet writing a letter expressing his surpressed love for his lover 😭.....

Some bromances have more chemistry in their little fingers than some romances have I swear. I am constantly ranting to my friends about how gay Kishimoto made Sasuke and Naruto. Like the entire series is about them being obsessed with each other. They just have so much more chemistry and history than the hetero relationships he pushes them into at the end (which also comes from him not writing very good female characters but that’s another rant). Manga authors focus so much on rivalries that the female characters barely exist and then they wanna convince me these characters are straight? Nah 💀

#thanks for the ask! #sorry for the kind of rant 😅 #Naruto #also we can talk about how Sakura and Ino as rivals had more chemistry than Sakura chasing after Sasuke #but again I digress #everyone is just gay in my perfect world #also just realized you didn’t mention Naruto AT ALL yet I made this all about Naruto 💀 I’m so sorry #em answers
