My very specific headcanon that these five characters have a group chat called The Girls and Klavier has always wanted to be in it so badly but they won't let him be one of the girls

We don’t talk enough about how Fairy was Jin Ling’s best friend growing up because getting bullied all the time traumatized him into isolating himself and avoiding making friends with other kids. We don’t talk enough about how she’s his best friend, not only because they grew up together but because Fairy isn’t a human who can shun him, hurt him, insult him or betray him. We don’t talk enough about how she was probably his main comfort above all else, the only thing he could run to when he was overwhelmed by emotions without being judged or called names for crying and feeling. We don’t talk enough about how his smile is only ever instant for Fairy. She’s the only one who doesn’t have to earn it because she’s his safety. His confidant. His best friend. His only friend.

#pre-lan juniors btw I know he has human friends how #but you can’t convince me Fairy isn’t his entire world #everything to him #the only thing in his life that he knows won’t yell at and belittle him for simply existing #basically #we don’t talk enough about how Jin Ling is literally me lmFAOOO #mdzs #the untamed #mo dao zu shi #jin ling #jin rulan #mdzs fairy #baby boy #apple babble 🍎 #one of the best things JGY ever did before he croaked was give JL fairy #A+++++ contribution to society #NOW NOT HOW not going back to correct that lmfao

also not to be mean to olympe de gouges but the convention making divorce legal was more of a gain for women than putting rich women in power as she wanted

#ok this is probably badly worded I can respect her and the idea of female suffrage she had contributions and all but like #you want to use her as an example of why the revolutionaries weren't revolutionaries because they guillotined her #for being oh so feminist which wasn't the reason anyway #like they had some actual exist-ass moments like that Amar speech about the closing the republican women societies #which was more about public order than feminism in the end he just decided to be a pos about it #but also they literally legalized divorce #didn't you do that in the 60s like almost 2 centuries later and THATS NOT REVOLUTIONARY APPARENTLY DJDHKSHDJFLAJDJFJ

There’s this idea that people are meaner than they used to be. Because of the internet, you know, people are meaner. They’re not meaner. People are not meaner than they used to be. People have always been assholes, except you guys. But they… But they are, and people are not meaner. What happens is the technology is just faster. It’s just faster. What happens is, you have this crazy idea, and there’s a crazy, angry thought, and you’re like, “I’ve got a crazy, angry thought.” Tickety-Tick, tick, tick, boom! And it’s out.

it's been like 10 hours and i am still thinking about gerry child experimentation canon. fuck my entire life

#r.txt #confirmed in tmagp which i do not listen to and will not listen to but i was Shown The Evidence #this also confirms that he's a candidate for DID in addition to his already extremely traumatic Rest Of Canon Story Don't Fight Me On It #because he would have been 7-11 years old #probably Closer to 11 though if he was one of the last ones experimented on before the institute burned down #so not DID forming but certainly contributing to the highly likely prior split! his mother is mary keay! he had baby trauma #almost never seen a character more likely to have DID than him and i have seen a good handful #now i'm just on my soapbox about how common DID actually is in our society given the huge prevalence of childhood trauma #anyway. this is the spiral i was sent on because of this new information #still won't be listening to the new thing but i can't resist objectively horrible facts about my poor fucking baby #they did the milgram experiment on him! and he scored low! because obviously! #empathy index 95%! baby!!!! #ugh. ugh! #the things this could have influenced in pbrrrrr. in TSP!!!! fuck! #if i really did just bring pbr back out of nowhere it'd fit right into the scene i was gonna do in the next chapter which is insane #uuuugh

what was the point of the possession plot. for real, someone tell me it’s most lasting impact, because as of now:

AFO becomes final boss maybe AFO will have another comeback but currently he’s being handled and defeated by someone who is not the main protag

Deku physically and metaphorically saves Shigaraki from AFO Shigaraki broke free on his own!

moral lesson about Shigaraki’s rage being detrimental by empowering Ultimate Evil AFO to continue controlling him Shigaraki’s negative emotions leads to AFO’s downfall because it was too powerful for AFO to control

#4. Spinner gayngst. but then he help undo it #nalslastworkingbraincell #i do actually want an answer though #please and thank you #about point 2. obviously Deku still has to save Shigaraki from nihilistic rage and despair #but that stuff is Shigaraki’s own. even if afo contributed to Shigaraki believing the world is hopeless #Shigaraki has made it his own (‘everything i’ve seen that created that house’) and reaffirmed it each time #not so much saving Shigaraki from AFO anymore so much as convincing Shigaraki the world/hero society with all its flaws deserves to remain

I know it’s not a question but i can’t help but appreciate the fact that you draw adult Steven as a chubby guy! We big boys need some positive representation in here. Also, i’ve been following you for almost a year now!

Btw sorry for my English lol.

Hi! It's very pleasing to know you've been around for as long! 😁😁😁 I absolutely appreciate the appreciation! And no worries, your English is super fine! 😁 (Relatable actually. I am also apologizing in advance if I can't exactly have my point clearly across because I'm not well at English myself! lmao)

It took me quite some time to learn how to draw chubby characters but it's so satisfying to have eventually. ( *`u*) (I mean, there's still so much to learn, but still.)

Having a chubby main protagonist is so wonderful to have. And a good kid at that. (Ngl I'm attracted to kindness. haha So of course it's very important to me that he's fat AND kind.)

Also design-wise, I personally think it fits his character so well. Soft and huggable, shaped like a friend. Thick arms to hug people with snuggly. Body wide like a shield. etc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And I just really like to capture these elements when I draw him as an adult. Also that it's just fun to draw.

Simply personal thoughts about it, nothing against any other ways he's being portrayed by others of course.

#And it's not even because English isn't my first language. Just generally bad at language. RIP #I had this conversation with someone once where they headcanon he'd get lower back pains if he slim down because of how his gem will #poke or stab his spine #I really like that he's chubby/fat just because. and that he's happy and confident about it #but him being fat not entire by choice is an interesting angle to look at. #I mean obviously he's naturally chubby because of DNA too but you get when I mean. or I hope you do. ;u; #Yo I had a theory.... or at least a headcanon about how his gem is arranged inside his body and how it's practically designed so it can be #passed down eventually without killing him. But I never get to a cohesive written explanation about it so I kept procrastinating. #I like to think the Pink Diamond gem will become like an heirloom. But I digress. #Steven Quartz Universe #Connie Maheswaran #I guess implied connverse #connverse #TFW growing up in media where 'look at us we're different but we are all friends!' And the differences were just personalities and status i #society but the body shapes are practically the same. 😆 #They were the same shape because the merch used the same mold. ^^; But I think that contributed to messing up my perception. #Like. The level of unawareness I had in drawing fat characters is crazy back then. #when I thought I drew a chubby character but the reality was that she was still slim! I still have her saved in my Deviant Art account #Nobody would've known because she's my OC. #If I were to argue with that past me that she's not chubby. Past me would be extremely confused because she is totally convinced that she #drew a chubby character. Mind you I was above 18 then too. #I had another OC I wanted to be really chunky but I was so bad at it that I found an excuse why she's so slim so I can avoid drawing chunky #I did eventually made her chunky but I almost never posted any of my OCs lol. She also have a black and pink theme. 🤔 #Same with skin color but it happened in my own Sona. I have a tan skin tone and I thought I gave my Sona the same skin...but like... Bruh. #I'm even looking at it now. That is kinda pale. RIP #It still baffles me how different I've been seeing thing in the past. Eugh I'm digressing again. :/ #sc answers #ask #luisnavarro04 #meme

ok look getting paid to do all the stupid little trainings from the comfort of my own home is super cool and leagues better than my prior work environments however the only thing worse than those stupid trainings is NOT having those stupid trainings to do, having nothing to do, and sitting here twiddling my thumbs and pretending i should be paid for this. i am going to deglove my arms

#i should channel this energy tho yeah #this is your funky update on what im up to. thinking of writing once i'm off the clock #or on the clock i guess. idk. there is a tension that makes doing things useless because i need to periodically move the mouse to indicate #that i havent killed myself yet on teams #if they had made ALL my days wfh for these two weeks i wouldve gone insane literally. at least now im pacified with fieldwork 3x a week #anyway i should just consider all of this research #even tho my job is actually worthwhile and contributes to society when they let me do it #unlike the narrator... #but like. idk i have a cubicle and the feeling i should fill it with knicknacks. do you think he had like a little penguin figurine. l #like one you can get from the zoo. did he go to a zoo #frothing at the mouth here yall sorry

ok, ok, I have this terukaneaoi au where akane dies and wakes up in the 80s and to which he then continues living life in the past (after many confusing realizations) and then meets the schools messiest relationship known to man in the process; teru and aoi, everyone knows how much arguments they get into yet they still look great together. akane somehow manages to get close to aoi (with the help of nene since akane kinda got attached to her since shes the only one to know about his situation). aoi is interested by akane and wants to know more about him while akane is like, literally in love.

while with teru, he finds out about this and like the great boyfriend he is, he of course, somehow (intentionally) meets akane and gets really angry at him. (he's just jealous; he really cares about aoi and is just afraid she will leave him), akane is confused, aoi stops teru from doing anything else and from then on, anytime aoi hangs out with akane (which is a lot of the time since aoi has no one else she actually likes to hang out with unless it's akane or nene) teru comes along.

akane and teru have a rocky view of each other but teru eventually becomes fond of akane (which takes a long while, in the meanwhile they have lots of petty arguments and relentlessly make fun of one and another, aoi has to force them to get along).

#thought id contribute to the terukanaoi society #mirai is akanes younger sister in this #akane also becomes the reason why the couple stops arguing #ive had this au for the longest time #this extremely messy and all over the place #akane meets the minamoto siblings by being kous tutor for math #kou looks up to akane since he is oblivious to akanes sarcastic remarks #much to terus dismay #although teru also prides himself in knowing akane a lot better than most although he'll never admit it #tiara and akane definitely have beef with eachother lol #aoi and akane are so cute in this #aoi is shy #tbhk #jshk #aoi akane #nene yashiro #teru minamoto #aidairo #akane aoi #tiara minamoto #kou minamoto #terukane #aoikane #terukaneaoi #not kidding when i say my docs look a little scary

“Special interest in civil engineering” smacked me upside the head (positive)… PK in his massive wyrm past, lovingly sniffing through some abandoned giant aquifer or freight tunnel. A scourge of civilization who is also a fuckin nerd.

Listen there was some form of official content out there (I think it was the guidebook) that referenced PK being a civil engineer and it just fucking Clicked for me. Legit his wholeass contribution to Hallownest seems to be structuring and building it. His architectural style is so fucking distinct. This motherfucker was DEDICATED to his craft and seemed to be pretty much shit at everything else, which is peak indicator of a special interest to me- you can't tell me that you haven't spent hours in a haze of hyperfocus working on something related to your special interest and then half-assed everything else. That was PK but like, on a godly scale

#which is why everyone in hallownest has a 'work until i cant work and then i die' complex #hollow knight #pale king #the pale king #the only contribution to society that i think he made was passing on his depression #which #fuckin mood

[poorlittleyaoyao]

I truly think mxtx’s intention was to set up a romance where wangxian’s appeal was one being a righteous cultivator and the other being one that fell from grace and how society and perception

both their own perception of each other/themselves and how others view them

was the thing keeping them apart and how they were going to overcome both these things

very pride and prejudice

and that IS what happened

but I think what she ended up with was something more romeo and Juliet - where the story is toted as a romance but underneath that it’s a tragedy, and the ending of mdzs is just too tragic bc the only ones who are arguably happy at the end are wangxian when the cast is so FULL

and full of people who only got unhappy endings or death

that last ramble got me thinking maybe we, the readers, have been looking at mdzs the wrong way. maybe mdzs is meant to be a tragedy and it just got popular as a romance. but I think I read or heard somewhere once that that’s the appeal of Chinese romances - a tragic ending with the implication that the lovers will be happy together in the next life

I hope it's okay that I combined the two Asks since they're so closely related! (Also--and this goes to everyone--if you're messaging me not on anon and prefer an answer privately rather than on the blog, lmk!)

This is interesting to consider, because my own issue is the opposite, I think: it's not that there are too many tragic elements in the happy romance, but that there's too much silly goofy trope stuff in the tragedy! I love tragedy. All my favorite works are tragedies! My all-time favorite TV show is S1 of The Terror, which tells us in the title card that every guy on the expedition is going to die miserably. I don't want everyone to die miserably in every work of fiction, obviously, but it's tragedy and/or hard-fought happiness that sticks with me.

So with the novel... yeah, all this tragedy happens, but it feels to me that it's pushed aside whenever it's in danger of harshing Wangxian's squee. I've already talked a bunch about Novelxian's past not seeming to impact him overmuch, in which case: why do it? Why do any of the plot itself, really, since nothing involving NMJ's murder has anything to do with Wangxian beyond NHS's prodding of MXY? Why have this elaborate tragedy of conflicting loyalties and betrayal and emotional devastation if we're just going to go "huh! well, that wraps that up!" and not engage with the fallout?

R&J's a good comparison, not because R&J isn't a tragedy (it for sure is!), but because R&J also has a lot of stuff going on and people like to argue about whether it's REALLY a romance or not. And like... it is. Of course it is. Romeo and Juliet's relationship is the relationship the text prioritizes. We aren't really meant to question the two of them prioritizing each other above all else. There are other themes going on there--to me personally, the play is a tragedy of adults failing children, because none of this would have happened if literally ANY adult had responsibly supported these kids--but the play is a tragic romance first and foremost.

But unlike MDZS, R&J doesn't skip on past the damage to other characters. Mercutio's death singlehandedly switches the play's genre from comedy to tragedy. Juliet continually struggles with the fact that Romeo killed Tybalt, even though Tybalt started it and he and Juliet don't have a relationship in the text. The play even spares some moments of reflection for Paris, even though literally nobody cares about Paris. Contrast all that with WQ and JYL barely being mentioned after their deaths, or LXC's seclusion being a nonissue. MDZS feels more like one of those weird problem plays, where a ~happy ending~ happens after so much messed-up shit that you're left going ????

MORE EMPHASIS ON THE TRAGEDY SO THE HAPPINESS FEELS BETTER, BASICALLY

#I'm specifically thinking of like... The Merchant of Venice #which has this gripping plot about a Jewish man finally lashing out against the society that's oppressed him and his people #so to many modern audiences the climax is the trial scene--which if you're sympathetic to Shylock is a tragedy #bc he is brought low and publicly humiliated and forcibly cut off from his community having already lost his daughter and his wealth #BUT SHAKESPEARE DID NOT WANT US TO QUESTION THIS EVEN A LITTLE BIT #so after the trial you get an ENTIRE FINAL ACT of the most tedious goddamn romcom nonsense put to paper #with almost zero mention of the trial even from Shylock's daughter Jessica bc Shakespeare meant this as a comedy with a fun happy ending #obviously these are not equivalent scenarios bc MDZS isn't out here contributing to centuries of antisemitism #but the TYPE of tonal dissonance is the same and the placement thereof is similar
