#love is not a corruption of friendship

[shinybea]

Last day of watching Good Omens 2 with my parents.

The "spicy stuff" was shoehorned in, they say: They didn't like the kiss. They liked Gabriel and Beelzebub's relationship, but they wanted Crowley and Aziraphale to stay friends (because it's pure, there is no need for sexual attraction).

They don't want to watch the third season.

They didn't react well, and then they say "we are entitled to our opinions". Well yes, but actually no.

I was already terrified in S1 that they'd understand (they didn't). Now they do and it's... not good.

[girl who isnt great with symbolism voice] making sage turn from red to blue was kinda assigning "bad" and "good" to those colours, at least that's how I interpreted it. but as sonic was getting corrupted, and when he was fully corrupted, he kept flickering from red to blue, not settling on one. I would've expected them to keep it exclusively red, at least in that final scene. iirc, the colours didnt seem to change based on what he was feeling, like it did with sage. so the only solid "this colour has a good/bad association" is white and black, which. ugh. but even then sage's design has stayed black and red in all offical art and the new trailers (iirc. memory bad). so having the new super sonic form just have blue eyes is A Choice to me

#i deleted my post from just before sndjdj because I do love the idea of eye colour change to symbolise Yippe Power Of Friendship #but having it to Just Be Blue is. idk idk. felt bad #for a start I thought the blue flickering only happened when Positive Feelings but I watched some clips of sonics cyber corruption #and was like ah. thats not how it workedn #egg.txt #sonic frontiers

Hyacinths & Daisies

Tesla is tired.

She wants humans & Plants to be equals. She wants the humans who are selfish enough to abuse her Plant sisters & innocents to stop. She wants Knives to stop so Nai can properly heal. She wants to go back to those days where they were kids & innocently carefree.

She wants her wishes to be heard. But no one listens. 

She tries anyway. 

She screams and shouts and uses bullets as punctuations when she has to. But ammo is finite & she’s been screaming so much, her throat tastes of dried blood even when she’s just breathing.

She’s tired. She’s so tired.

Tesla’s hope is akin to the sand of No Man’s Land. Seemingly infinite but rough & coarse, a witness that enables misery more than anything. She grabs it in tight fists until her palms are scraped raw but it spills through her fingers sooner or later.

We’ve seen heroes who start out as idealistic become realistic, if not outright jaded. Try as Tesla might, she knows she’s not really living. She has no idea what she’ll do once Knives is stopped because at this point, she’s more likely to die trying to do that than achieving her dream of building equal ground for humans & Plants.

Still, she helps where she can. She can’t play God, surely she can make sure death at least finds the bastards who deserve it more? Surely this time, she can add a tally to the people she's saved instead of another she's failed? She’s trying, she’s trying, she’s trying.

Enter Livio (& the age-reversal wand).

All the kids at the orphanage avoided the scrappy boy who sharpened his teeth so nobody would pick on his brittle bones. When Nico bit Livio hard enough to draw blood, he teared up but didn’t flinch. When Nico finally let go because his jaw ached, Livio wiped the dirt from his cheek instead of slapping it.

In turn, Nico didn’t run from Razlo either. Livio taught Nico how to calm a crying baby while Razlo taught him how to punch the older meaner kids in places that count. Livio was the shield, Razlo was the sword.

When the Eye of Michael came, Livio accepted it; showed them Razlo & proved his compatibility with their experiments. He became their Double Fang. Naturally, everyone preferred Razlo but a coin only had value when both sides were intact. Putting up with still stupidly gentle, weaker, Livio was a small price to pay.

Until they decided they had a mission that was perfect for Livio, not Razlo.

And so, the sheep that was forced to wear the fangs and claws of a wolf was once again stuffed with cotton until it soaked up the blood & left his lungs clogged.

The worst part? Tesla meets Livio and slowly but surely, the sand-like hope she has is refined to glass. Still fragile and capable of cutting once shattered but the transformation? It burns, it shapes, it’s delicate & it’s beautiful.

Neither of them were meant to be weapons, but maybe with the help of each other, they can learn to be people again.

Extra AU notes:

TW: mention of addiction

-Tesla loses her right eye while Livio covers his left (it dramatically comes off when Razlo takes the reins).

-This visually shows how they're similar yet different in a way that complements each other & foreshadows that they're literally on opposite sides.

-Tesla jokingly calls Livio a grandpa because he carries a lot of candy & always nags her to rest more.

(The irony of that nickname is not lost on either of them.)

-Nico of course, followed Livio. The Eye purposely got him addicted to cigarettes laced with the serum to further keep him under control.

-Instead of canon!Livio's skull mask, he wears a mouthguard to resemble a muzzled dog (I'm sorry for doing this to you Wolfwood-).

-Livio doesn't smoke but he carries a lighter to perform tricks, it's calming for him.

#purple hyacinth au #trigun au #role swap au #trigun #tesla #livio the double fang #nicholas d. wolfwood #also i hc tesla as ace in case the purple coat didn't alrdy give it away /j #honestly leaning this more on platonic than romantic #bcz we could always use more male female friendships #and that the intimacy of platonic love deserves more rep #i'd never kiss you but i'd lay my life on the line for you #i'd never get down on my knees to give you a ring but i'd casually toss my life into your hands #get my point? #also LOL yk how fans make content of nai losing his shit™ over the punisher fucking his brother? #nai thinking livio 'corrupted' tesla & slept with her when ironically tesla is sex-neutral #and altho razlo teased livio he was like bruh NO i'd give her my kidney but never a kiss just NO-

wait why was no one going to tell me that nightmare rarity, something ive only heard vaguely of over the years since i keep neglecting to read the comics, wasnt corrupted by some internal pain, but instead the comic claims that nightmare moon is actually a parasitic type creature that took her over and that nightmare moon is a seperate entity from luna entirely. or at least according to the wiki

i kinda... hate that. thats not canon to me actually

#my post #mlp #i relate to luna/nightmare moon and it feels... less? that it be something like that #its so hard to explain. especially since im tired and was literally going to sleep when i was like wait i need to look this up #nightmare moon... is luna. to me. #it was her pain and her jealousy and her isolation and loneliness manifested #it was her lashing out at everyone she percieved as not loving her how she felt she should have been loved #it was her losing control. almost willingly. because she was so overwhelmed by pain #and that led to her being banished and isolated for 1000 years until she got to try and hurt people again #but she was defeated by friendship beams and then accepted with open arms by her sister once agin and blah blah blah you know #it just isnt right to me for it to be like. haha get parasited idiot #and idk i was thinking itd be cool if that was the deal with rarity in that comic #ALSO the whole reason i looked it up is cause i keep thinking about opaline if she was flurry heart but corrupted #opaline being flurryhearts nightmare moon yknow #but coming up with a motivation that feels right is kinda difficult lol #tropes

i feel like main verse evelynn is like . . . almost completely unshippable.

like personally, i don't think evelynn as a character is very shippable. she isn't soft, and that by itself is by no means like . . . a "oh they can't be shipped" trait, because i have plenty of other muses who aren't outwardly soft. the difference with evelynn though is everything that encompasses who she is and why she, at a fundamental level, cannot, and should not, be shipped (safely). and like, okay, toxic ships whateverrrrr, but again, personally i have extremely specific requirements for the type of person she'd be with. like, anyone who's just as unhinged and evil as she is. and just to throw a name out there, someone like viego, for one. there's a few more, but. ya know.

evelynn is incapable of romance. like, 99.9% incapable of romance and is definitely aromantic. she's very good at playing pretend and faking it until she makes it and gets what she wants, but she doesn't feel anything for anyone she's pretending with.

this even extends to k/da or any other modern counterpart, or just non-main au. i think there is a very SLIM possibility that she could feel and experience love, but that is very unlikely. i think the closest people she could come to experiencing love, or at least the perception of it, are kayn (in kda/heartsteel or odyssey verses, anything modern) or viego tbh. maybe a few others but i haven't thought of ships outside of kayn/eve and eve/viego.

i still say like ... the perception of it though, because i think evelynn will border on obsession and possessiveness rather than actually feeling love, and even if she does feel love, it's definitely not in the traditional sense where you feel your heart skip beats or whatever other cliche. evelynn is rarely flustered, like, if ever at all, but i think kayn could be capable of making her flustered if he somehow manages to tap into evelynn like that, because i can see her having some like ... semblance of like a "tsundere" type reaction.

that all being said, evelynn definitely has a type (re: odyssey/heartsteel kayn, viego in any verse, basically any edgy or awful person ever, for the most part, but at the least someone who's unhinged like her, or like morally gray enough to let her murders slide lmaoooo). she thinks of people as her playthings and like, usually she'll kill someone after one go or once she gets bored, but people like kayn and viego keep her constantly entertained and she's like "wow i like them i want to keep them around," but i'm not sure how deep that goes yet, because love is not an easy concept where evelynn is involved. she's not like my other muses like sivir or cherry where they're brusque and cold and afraid of attachment and are avoidant. evelynn isn't like that. she just, doesn't experience it, really. it takes a lot factors and special circumstances for it to even be possible for her, but it definitely starts with her finding an obsession with someone, so that's unhealthy to start with.

an addendum: regarding spirit blossom, that's another story, since she's supposed to be more benevolent there, but that's a different can of worms i need to open because i have thoughts about that, but shipping wouldn't be any easier in that verse either.

#i can't remember if i wrote a post on this before #i probably did but idk #here's my 2024 thoughts on the matter #and tldr i'm not really open to ships on eve but like #if you fit the criteria above #akbscd #but like please don't try to worm into a ship with me on eve #and even if you're like 'oh im ok with a toxic ship' that's LOVELY but #sbsdc im just not a fan of shipping eve i'll be real LMAO #like i don't really enjoy the #'eve dates someone soft and sweet and corrupts them' plots #i dont like that at allllll they make me mega uncomfy #so i'd only ship her with someone fucking terrible LMFAO #shipping with eve requires 3+ years of friendship with me #I'M KIDDING LMAOOOOO #but it's not gonna be easy and im not super open to it #anomalies exist and im willing to explore but #you know. #i'm just putting this out there before anyone asks KJBDSC #hc.

Assigning Fears to Teas.

I'll start.

Corruption: the strongest flavoured fruit tea you have, add a revolting amount of honey, cool it down just enough so that it won't burn, then drink it sip by sip, not stopping even when you start to feel nauseous. Maybe add a Corruption song to listen to, and I recommend imagining being a home to Many Butterflies. They Love You. They Love You Even When Nobody Else Does. Do Not Be Afraid. It's Just The Butterflies, Coming Out Of Those Beautiful Holes In Your Flesh. Don't You Love Their Pretty Colours? They Love You Just The Same. ♡♡♡

So I’ve been rewatching the first season of Beyburst recently, and oH MY GOD?? I missed it more than I ever thought I would. ;A; Coming back to it feels like this Fallen Down cover. Which is absolutely amazing and super calming, by the way, it’s my favorite one. ;w;

I started watching Burst waaaaay back when it first came out (my first introduction to Beyblade was watching the barest minimum of Metal Fury, then I only watched a little bit of Shogun Steel), and it was my favorite thing ever. It’s how Beyburst latched onto me for like 6 years and never really let go. I’ve been with the Turbo gang for so long that I forgot how much I loved the Burst gang, and don’t get me wrong, the Turbo characters are good individually, (although most if not all of them have untapped potential) but the Burst characters hit different. Their bonds with each other are just so wonderful. ;W;

#beyblade #beyburst #beyblade burst #beyblade burst turbo #beyblade burst chouzetsu #beyblade burst cho z #and i’m gonna make another post about this soon but #the burst gang?? seems so much closer than the turbo gang ever did? #daigo starts having fun blading against valt bc he reminds him of ryota #valt persists in befriending ken and ken couldn’t be more grateful #valt cares SO MUCH about shu and wants the best for him but can’t tell what he needs sometimes #daigo rantaro and ken unanimously decide that until valt learns to love blading again they have to stop practicing with him #they don’t even know what corrupt resonance is BUT THEY HELPED CURB IT IMMEDIATELY #but i gotta say in cho z… the characters besides aiger ranjiro and hae-jin don’t seem super close for some reason? #like fubuki’s just out of place with the wild bey gang aiger naru and ranjiro he’s always just kinda there #but we don’t know WHY he WANTS to be there #and fubuki and suoh upon rewatch seem a bit more like captain and co-captain which they are but #i don’t know what it is but the burst friendships seem so much more fleshed out than the turbo ones #also turbo shu just kind of seems to lack personality in a way? #in turbo he seems more like a legendary blader that can relate to having corrupt resonance #(because he was manipulated) #but not like SHU if you catch my drift?? idk what it is

[katyspersonal]

Okay so like...

Back then I had a dream in which Micolash protected me from my abusive stepdad whom I keep having nightmares about all of my life, and I've had peaceful sleeps for a while. Then I had a dream where he attempted to trap my soul with a ritual by luring me, pretending he loved me too. Later I had a dream in which he outright murdered and resurrected me several times - to end up sparing me after I sacrificed a way to escape his torture for someone else - but scolded me very much for clinging to him and told me how much he did NOT want me to "force" myself on him (you heard it right, MICOLASH of ALL people found me too chaotic and cringe to manage with o_o").

But tonight, I had a (personal) dream about him again - in which he took me back in a moment of my teen years when one of my worst traumas happened, and tried to attempt fixing it by turning it into a pleasant memory instead. I woke up before he could, but I appreciate the intention (a very ironic one for someone called king of NIGHTMARE, lol)

But in all honesty, that's a very unstable relationship o_o" Mico pls

#pls.... #personal #name a more dramatic friendship arc lol #i really love how he appears in my dreams though like #dream goes as normal but gradually it becomes 'corrupted' #like people start disgussing morbid themes when it makes no sense out of context #or blood and corpses theme happens #or chorus that singed hail the nightmare is heard and grows louder and louder #i described only core and personal dreams though but he... appears often ok? #and every time it is like... things become creepy and morbid and dark but very sneaky way #and when i notice how much dream changed to signify his arrival it is already too late and too far gone #i am using this stuff for writing headcanons sooooo much lol #it makes me feel warm that he cares tho #of course only such character would care about a cringe queen like me xd #/pos you know i do not consider HIM cursed or cringe i just goof around #because if you dont bully your fav then they arent your fav lololololol

despite being friends with goro when they were younger, sachiko actually does not handle people being mean to her or disliking her well at all. the first time she tried to befriend goro he blew her off and she retreated immediately and didn't try again until years later. when she approached him the second time he nearly blew her off again, and she probably would have left him alone if he didn't agree to work together for the sake of their survival.

their friendship only worked because they both kept a certain amount of emotional distance that was mutual since both of them hate vulnerability. still, sachiko was by far the more enthusiastic and friendly of the two, bringing out goro's softer side. there was still a certain amount of rockiness in their relationship though, because neither of them were in a good place and they both dealt with that in opposite directions. (goro by stewing in it on his lonesome, sachiko by ignoring it and being social.) goro could never bring himself to be too harsh because of how friendly she was to him, and he knew that being mean would result in the end of their allyship. in the end he became mostly neutral, not overly kind or harsh in either direction, working with her in a manner that he justified as purely strategic, not personal.

if you asked them, they'd both tell you the relationship was surface level, and they weren't friends, just allies. until, of course, the Incident happened and they both realized they'd started to think of each other as their surrogate sibling. but of course by then it was too late.

#i was thinking about how she doesn't get along with morgana but does get along with goro and that sparked this thought. #sachiko asahi #persona ocs #sera posts #anyway their friendship in canon after goro's been 'corrupted' so to speak and is a much meaner person would be really interesting. #bc i don't actually think they'd get along at first. there's all the baggage obv but goro's just not as nice as he used to be and sachiko #is going to have to learn that he's changed (they both have) and learn how to meet him where he's at. and goro will have to realize #that if he wants to make amends he's going to have to actually try to be better and not be a bitch 24/7. they'll have to meet each other #in the middle #memes aside i think goro learning how to be kind again would be a really good (and necessary) part of his arc toward self improvement #learning how to be kind in a way that isn't just his detective prince mask. but because he genuinely wants to be kind and make friends #and be a better more healthy person who is a positive force in the lives of the people around him #and i think sachiko would make him want that. bc he does actually care about her and he wants to make up for what happened to her #(which he blames himself for) #sachiko and goro genuinely love each other and want to be friends but it's going to be Hard for both of them at first #and sachiko is going to have to learn how to curb some of her enthusiasm bc goro can't respond to it positively at this point #but they'll figure it out eventually and they'll both grow a lot as people in the process #sachiko's positivity can actually be extremely toxic so learning how to meet goro in the middle is super important for her growth too #but im just repeating myself at this point
