#my ideal friendship

[someone7619]

Peak friendship is when you first meet and ask them "Why did you choose your robes to be the color of piss?" and then later engage in a deep conversation about your mentor after getting your shit nearly rocked twice.

If your friendship isn't like this then I don't wanna hear it.

THE X-FILES (1993-2018)

SEASON EIGHT — I will go on record to say this: that I have seen things that I cannot explain. I have observed phenomena that I cannot deny. And that as a scientist and a serious person it is a badge of honor not to dismiss these things because someone thinks they're BS.

#I realised that if I wanna finish all this before the anniversary celebration I need to pick up the pace a bit jdfbskf so here we go :') #txf #tv #txf8 #txfedit #tvedit #the x files #scifiedit #.gif #thexfilesnet #*txfrewatch #this season is actually quite beloved to me. especially in light of what comes after...but also in its own right I'd say! #mulder abduction arc is a fabulous concept that sadly is underwhelmingly executed (and not just from my point of view of I KNOW he's #gonna be fine...) and at this point we are left thinking that william is a normal healthy msr love child so the pregnancy arc is ok too #the show ended here btw. nothing else happened after and they are still standing in scully's bedroom holding william the ??th and smooching #I swear #oh. also. I LOVE john doggett and I love his and scully's relationship; how they come to trust one another over the course of the season #THAT is the ideal PLATONIC partnership actually. professional trust and respect that grows very carefully and eventually #blossoms into a more personal friendship <3 #*saul queued

maybe one of thw coolest things about fma is that it’s a soft magic system disguised as a hard magic system. alchemy is just an interpretation of the truth that varies from culture to culture, and these hardline interpretations (most obviously amestrian alchemy’s law of equivalent exchange) can fall short of describing the intangible value of love and connection. the story refuses to give us a concrete answer to the question of "what could equal the value of a human soul"—theres no set amount of times a homunculus can die before exhausting their regenerative abilities, no real equivalency between the toll alchemists pay for human transmutation and the thing they seek. i think it’s kind of the platonic ideal of the “maybe the real treasure was the friends we made along the way” trope

#if you couldn’t tell i finished my brotherhood rewatch afdhdgh #now that i have post fma depression i’ll just have to fill the hole by rewatching 2003 #if brotherhood is the platonic ideal of the power of friendship than fma 2003 is the platonic ideal of. fullmetal alchemist #sully is typing #fma #fmab

Q!Quackity being Spiderbit #1 hater will never not be funny cause like what are his reasons for them?

1.He wants what they have?

2.He wants them?

3.He wants one of them?

4.He hates gay people?

5.He hates happy couples?

And like the answer is all of the above

HE’S SO FUNNY TO ME literally this screenshot remains so good and so true about him

like how DARE??? someone have a happy relationship???? that does not include him???? no not allowed he’s homophobic now unless they share >:[

#and my ideal canon outcome is that he learns his friendships can be just as important and make him just as happy #but my little fantasy fanon outcome. well. #haha #qsmp

I get to write Willow and Amitys weird awkward friendship in this fic I'm so excited!!!

#its hard being both a willow lover and an amity liker #i LOVE to talk about how amity deeply affected willow's life for the worse #but i also love to talk about how amity has to live with that truth for the rest of her life #i love how amity continues to try because she loves willow #tries too hard even #i love how amity STILL continues to fuck it all up because shes so painfully awkward and guilty #and shes so busy trying to preserve a friendship that died years ago that she doesnt realize that she should be aiming to build a new one #because this is NOT the same girl that she knew #i love that amity still means so much to willow that she cant bring herself to get confrontational over the obvious infantilization #i love that willow is trying so hard too because she wants this to work out so badly #and she cant even admit to herself that this idealized friendship shes wanted back for YEARS is not everything she hoped it would be #i love both girls so much #it used to be a real struggle to talk about this because somebody with a hate bias towards amity always wants to chime in #and like okay fine sure you can hate whatever character you want im not gonna shame you for it #i just dont WANT to discuss one of my my favourite dynamics with people who hate one of the characters yknow? #theyre two teenage girls who love each other and theyre struggling to love each other properly but they want to #I LOVE THEM!!!

"you NEED a romantic partner in life bc who else will help you when you're having a crisis and you can't rely on your friends, what will you do then" I get better friends???

#why r allos shocked when i want to be able to rely on my friends' help #like no actually it's not good if all support in life comes from 1 person #'well what if their romantic partners are more important at the moment' #well 1) ideally i have multiple friends #2) if someone consistently leaves me behind for their partner then like #we're probably not gonna be friends for long #like im not saying they shouldn't prioritize but #friendship is a two way road and if they don't put in anything why should i stay #aromantic #aro #arospec #amatonormativity #queer stuff

no one except steven spielberg is brave enough to hold open auditions and chemistry tests these days. no one wants to work anymore everyone just wants to cast twitter white boys of the month when they could be CREATING twitter white boys of the month.

#THIS IS STILL ABOUT THE BEATLES. I'M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS. #i felt the same about my ideal springsteen biopic which adapts the river anecdote and focuses on his relationship with his father #because for that movie we would've held open auditions in new jersey and hopefully found a working class boy with a guitar and a dream #and then cast paul giammatti as the dad because that's what you DO you cast a dazzling newcomer as the lead and oscar nominated #character actors/superstars in the supporting roles. #and you do chemistry tests to ensure there's a sense of comradery and real friendship among the lads and the girlies can make compelling #mclennon edits. DUH.

s1 luz was at least a little bit gay for willow i will not be told otherwise

idk if it was a full on crush but it was at least one of those types of nebulous not-quite-romantic not-quite-platonic "hahaha, unless..." type friendships that a lot of queer teens have, u know the ones

#girl was just walkin around sayin shit like ''you're right! my friend IS very cute!'' #which can be just regular platonic bc luz is friendly like that but in this case i feel like it's A Little Bit Gay #eliot posts #toh #the owl house #luz noceda #willow park #just. remembering why i liked willuz/willumity so much. #i kinda headcanon willow as grey-aro and polyam (this literally came to me in a dream) #and i feel like her ideal relationship IS a kind of ambiguous sorta-but-not-quite-romantic sort of dealio #tho i also like the headcanons that she's just plain bi or pan or lesbian in this context too #bc again that sort of ambiguous friendship seems to be VERY common among queer teen friend groups (and not just aspec queers) #like it was A Thing between some of my high school friends and many other queer ppl i've talked to have said similar lmao #tho i also find the headcanon that she's 100% aroace and also uninterested in any relationships outside if friendship to be v fun #just like. basically everyone falling in love w her but her being totally uninterested #but being her friend is so Delightful that none of em rlly have any complaints there #like that scene in carmilla where dani turns down kirsch and says she just sees him as a friend and he gets really excited like #''yes! i am in the friend zone! she sees me as a friend!!! she's so cool i am excited to be her friend!'' #willow taking after canon aroace icon lilith ''constantly turning down suitors but keeping their gifts'' clawthorne #my sister is just straight but this one time when she was in hs a guy asked her out w a massive tub of cheese puff balls #(she was obsessed w those things) #and she turned him down but kept the cheese puffs and ate them for like a solid month

Shrek is woke because every main villain was a white person in a position of power who weaponized the status quo or tried to erase marginalized groups in some way.

#shrek #shrek 2 #shrek the third #shrek the third rewrite #shrek forever after #dreamworks #how my oc villain Bruce works is he embodies toxic masculinity and tries to make Charming into a badass warrior (it fails) #meanwhile Rapunzel is toxic feminitity; how rich white people use class & gender roles to punish those who stray from them #gwynn and rhodanthe being two black girls they struggle with their identity & how they can never fit White Ideals #but thats okay bc they learn to embrace their culture/traits & become better people for them #meanwhile Rapunzel loses all her friendships (&hair) chasing after a guy who doesnt see her as a person #and Bruce loses EVERYTHING bc his son ends up thinking for himself and who he wants to be: a hair stylist

Had a revelation this week that was so healing. just. gentle and life-altering.

#it will sound too simple when I put it into words #but it was just. no one’s coming. there’s no one coming! #and that doesn’t mean that there isn’t love and friendship and joy in the present or the future #or even romance! #all possibilities and in the grand scheme of things probabilities #but still! no one is coming. and no one is coming to save me! #life is happening now and it is (not completely) but in a lot of ways just what you make of it! #of course the ultimate caveat is that Christ is coming #except it’s not the caveat but the POINT #but no one human #and it’s amazing how long you can just wait and wait and wait. and there is something not true in the Human Ideal #you think you’re waiting for!!! #and I could meet the love of my life tomorrow and they could be everything I dreamed of and more #and it still wouldn’t be the ‘Answer’ so to speak #it’s just not how it goes! It’s not how it works. it’s not what people or friendships or romance is for. #it’s both so much simpler and so much grander. and of course I knew all of this before blah blah blah #but it’s sunk in. in a gentle way lately #that just feels different this time! #So I wanted to try to put it into words #Thanks for listening

╰┈➤ SHUFFLE AU

DESTINATION POINT (DP)

the Leo/need adjacent unit, composed of Ichika Hoshino, Airi Momoi, Ena Shinonome, and Minori Hanasato. ☆ a girl who's lost her friendships, and three others searching for their worth.

about the group's name: ♡ originally, i had "from here to there" in mind, but someone from the Discord gave me the name "destination point" and i thought it was much better, so i went with that. ♪

about the SEKAI: ♡ the Train SEKAI. no one knows when it left, or where it's going - just that it never stops. it's the perfect place for those who feel like they're lagging behind. just close your eyes and let yourself be carried away, right? but maybe there's something you can do… starts with a Miku and a Rin. the former's hardworking and talented, but the latter struggles - Rin is somewhat influenced by Ena's (and, to a lesser extent, Airi's) jealousy towards others.

•

Ichika hasn't managed to rekindle her friendship with her friends, and she's not doing particularly well. At one point, she meets Airi - who just quit being an idol. The two start talking and become friends, at which point they end up forming a band together. Airi wants to try finding a place where she could finally be taken seriously.

Ena's invited by Airi, and Minori - who had failed auditions recently - ends up inspired by Ichika's kindness, Airi's drive and Ena's determination, which is how she joins. (Haruka completely gave up on being an idol; something Minori is saddened by.)

In my mind, Ichika plays the guitar; Airi, the drums; Minori, the keyboard and Ena, the bass.

IDEAL HEAVEN! (IH)

the MORE MORE JUMP! adjacent unit, composed of Mafuyu Asahina, Emu Otori, Mizuki Akiyama and Shizuku Hinomori. ☆ an up-and-coming idol group that combines cuteness and sophistication.

about the SEKAI: ♡ quite similar to the Empty SEKAI, but with some idol influences - a broken stage with no one in sight. there's no bright lights, no colorful props. nothing. that SEKAI both comforts and pains Mafuyu. home to a lone Miku. sweet, hopeful, but genuinely crushed by the pressure she's feeling.

•

Mafuyu's mother wants a perfect child. idols are very frequently represented as being perfect - so, she decides that her daughter should become one, too. Mafuyu's not keen on the idea, but that's her mother; she's obedient, so she goes along with it.

Shizuku still quit Cheerful * Days, but instead of stopping altogether she ends up with Mafuyu. Emu wants to make people smile, but no one ever came; Wonderlands × Showtime was never a thing. so she decides to become an idol instead, even if it means she'll never bring back the Wonder Stage to its former state.

Mizuki's half-dragged into IDEAL HEAVEN! by Emu, who saw them looking with interest at idol merch. after bringing them to meet Mafuyu and Shizuku, Mizuki ends up accepting - the idea of wearing cute clothes and being called cute doesn't seem too terrible.

-

READY MADE SUCCESS (RMS)

the Vivid BAD SQUAD adjacent unit, composed of Haruka Kiritani, An Shiraishi, Shiho Hinomori and Akito Shinonome. ☆ two street musicians chasing after their dream, and the two girls they brought with them.

about the SEKAI: ♡ the Street SEKAI. weirdly, it seems Haruka's idol background has somewhat influenced its appearance. its inhabitants are Miku, Meiko and Len. this Miku is levelheaded, but it seems like there's something holding her back from going all-in...

•

after quitting being an idol, Haruka is invited by An to join her.

An's never met Kohane, and she never found a partner. Haruka is hesitant for a moment before deciding to give it a shot, though she keeps struggling with singing. Shiho tries getting more experience, meets Akito. no one really knows how these two ended together, but they both have a similar drive and take music very seriously.

eventually, they all start working together. Haruka deals with her guilt and, while she doubts she'll become an idol again, she's mostly made peace with what happened.

-

STARLIGHT ☆ EVERMORE (S ☆ E)

the Wonderlands × Showtime adjacent unit, composed of Tsukasa Tenma, Saki Tenma, Kanade Yoisaki and Toya Aoyagi. ☆ a strange troupe of people who aim to help others through their performances.

about the SEKAI: ♡ still very much Tsukasa's, so it's the Wonderland SEKAI. [kanade goes there for the first time and dies. alas, they're still a shut-in and this place is simply too colorful for her poor eyes.] starts with a Miku and a Kaito, though this version of the former uses far less onomatopoeias.

Tsukasa figures he needs to show the world how much of a star he is himself, and he drags his siblings into it (with varying degrees of willingness).

a part of Saki still wishes she could be in a band with her friends; she's only somewhat managed to repair her friendship with Ichika. but she's still happy to do something fun and lighthearted after all her struggles. Toya's very excited to do something with Tsukasa and his siblings. he also gets to stick it to his dad, which, honestly - is a bonus.

out of the three, Kanade is obviously the most hesitant about the whole thing. but she sees Tsukasa's drive to make others happy, something she shares with him, so she ends up agreeing. Kanade is… slightly healthier physically on account of the stubborn people looking after her, as well as all the exercise she does she does as part of Starlight ☆ Evermore. mentally? eh… we'll get there. i need her traumatized to be interesting. <3

-

LONELY SYNDROME (LS)

the 25-ji, Nightcord de. adjacent unit, composed of Nene Kusanagi, Rui Kamishiro, Honami Mochizuki and Kohane Azusawa. ☆ hidden behind avatars, these citizens of the web tell stories online.

about the SEKAI: ♡ the arcade SEKAI. this Miku is shy and withdrawn, though she one day hopes she'll be able to break out of her shell, just like Nene. alongside her is Luka - she has a bit of a teasing attitude and a catlike personality, but she always does her best to boost Nene's confidence.

about the group's name: ♡ syndrome refers to a group of symptoms - i paired it with the word lonely because i felt like it represented the atmosphere of an arcade. you're connected with people who share your interests, but at the same time, you're sort of separate from them. surrounded by people, but utterly alone…

•

Nene's social anxiety hasn't gotten better over the years. since she never joins Wonderlands × Showtime, she doesn't learn how to fight her stage fright.

but, she finds an alternate solution; using an avatar online. it's less stress-inducing, and it lets her pursue acting, in a way - it's not what Nene wants, but it's close enough. she figures she could be satisfied with that. Rui ends up figuring out what she's doing, and asks if he can help. Nene doesn't really have any reason to say no, so they start working together.

as for Honami and Kohane, they ended up on Nene's channel by pure accident. but her performances quickly became a comfort to them, since they were struggling at the time (the former because she no longer had her friends, the latter because of her lack of confidence).

unfortunately, ignoring your problems only goes so far, and eventually, her feelings give birth to the arcade SEKAI.

#// ooc #shuffle au #didn't bother detailing every SEKAI - they're mostly staying the same #destination point is accidentally very similar to richie's unit 💔 #and ideal heaven! also. oh well. i didn't do it on purpose.......... #my favorite out of these five is lonely syndrome & starlight ☆ evermore :D #which is evident because a) i developed lonely syndrome's story the most and b) starlight ☆ evermore has all my favorite characters #pushing my tenma agenda <3 #lonely syndrome is like… dear to me because i struggle with very bad social anxiety and it's held me back so many times #so i relate to nene a bunch #i wish i could just - go out there and show people what i'm capable of doing. but i just freeze in place each time. it's easier to just… #give up. y'know? it hurts less. #and fun fact: lonely syndrome's luka is more or less based on rui? he's an important person in nene's life so you know - #i figured that it would influence one of the virtual singers. i love nene and rui's friendship ww #i put Kanade in the WxS-adjacent group because i wanted her to die <3 #also. the potential of others finding out that this pathetic wet cat? is in a theater troupe?? insane. i think it's hilarious. #ready made success is a name i settled with despite not being very satisfied of it - so changes might happen! #there's some angst potential in there. i put some for emu too :3c #anyway. enough rambling in tags. i feel bad 💔 #i'm insanen over them. if you have any questions - feel free to ask. teehee <3

[always-a-joyful-note]

Wait, I'm stupid. Is Roland and Olivier from Vanitas no Carte supposed to be referencing Roland and Oliver?? The classic French friend duo who died tragically trying to win a battle that was rigged against them? Who were loyal to the other to the point of death despite Oliver being the literal braincell in the friendship and warning against Roland's pride? Who were almost brothers but couldn't be ala them dying before Roland could marry into the fam via Oliver's sister?

Because if it is...what could it MEAN?

#I'm not deep into the vnc fandom...just watched the anime and thought it neat and promptly focused all my attention on Noe #well noe and murr.... #but like....if IF Roland and Olivier are supposed to be a reference to Roland and Oliver.... #then sjrhhrjsjajehrhrhskskoeh i may have yo look deeper into the manga #you guys dont understand im obsessed (like lowkey...doesnt really affect my life like some fandoms do) with the Song of Roland #its the commentary on pride and friendship and the notion of chivalry and glory and that anglo saxon notion of mod #despite it being french the whole not asking for aid and glory thing sort of made me think of the anglo saxon thing about mod #plus roland is like...obsessed with his ideals up until death comes and its too late #and i just.... #fandom spamdom #vnc #vanitas no carte #note's nonsense #the song of roland #listen my comprehension skills STINK esp for classics so obligatory disclaimer and apology if i got song of roland off #anyway shout out to a roland gifset making me think this
