You are eight years old

You have to kill your dad

#ninjago #watched child's play again #fucking DIED #YOU EVER THINK ABOUT HOW LLOYD IS LIKE EIGHT??? TEN??? HE'S A C H I L D #fair isn't a word where i come from YOU'RE A KID #GOD YOU'RE A KID #im in physical pain #kai smith #kai jiang #kai ninjago #lloyd garmadon #lloyd ninjago #person who tagged something #lloyd jiang #you understand me #kai and lloyd do you mean #you never wanted to be the green ninja and your brother wants so badly to take it from you so you get the chance to be a child #the way he never did because he had to raise his sister as well as himself #and in you he sees the wrongs done to him but a thousand times worse #because you're not just losing your childhood #you have to kill your dad #GOD IM SO NORMAL #kai wanted to be the green ninja. he still wants to be the green ninja. but not for himself. so that Lloyd doesn't have to carry the weight #of a destiny he never wanted #lloyd wants to give kai the green ninja so that he doesn't have to be the savior or the chosen one or the guy who's going to kill his dad #and he can't #theyre so sad #my art #essays in the tags again

been thinking a lot about my royai kid ideas lately but i don't think a lot of people will like them because i don't name the kid after maes lol

#and also I focus more on riza's traumatic upbringing rather than only addressing roy being sad about maes #also it's 03royai usually #crystal convos #i have my own personal bias against the idea of their baby being named after maes #in part because i dont think the wound will ever be healed enough for roy to be able to not associate it w the pain of losing his friend #i also cannot explain just how much the idea of naming my own child directly after my dead sister makes me want to die so. pure projection #i think my problem with a lot of royai kid stuff is that riza has an explicitly traumatic childhood in her background and no one explores i #because they're so focused on roy struggling with feeling like he can never measure up to hughes--which is fine but WHAT ABOUT RIZA #One aspect abt Riza's trauma that I explore with my royai kid stuff is the theme of alchemist fathers and their children they abuse/neglect #Riza herself; Nina Tucker; the Elrics... And now she is having an alchemist's child

hey. if the codeflippa thing ever gets to the point where charlie is *aware* (but in denial/doesn't care/whatever) that she's a code monster and if anyone else ever sees her switch and kills the code and if charlie finds out about it (or, god forbid, he witnesses it). that will end not well I think. because we saw the aftermath of his daughter being killed accidentally- and he understood that fact fully. how do you think he'll react, if someone takes his daughter from him again, on purpose?

#he was an awful child mu.rderer before bc he didnt truly want to hurt anyone #he was in anguish and angry and alone and jumped at the first solution he could think of; even if it was completely irrational #he hasnt been angry like that since. when juanaflippa died a second time it was just despair #because after what happened to tilin hes been so so afraid of hurting people. so afraid of being the reason others had to feel that pain. #but if someone took away his daughter again. the light of his life. the only thing he has. #if they did that to him on purpose? if they made him go through all of that again *on purpose?* #maybe they deserve it. even if the eggs dont. even if he feels awful about it just moments after. #maybe they deserve to feel what they did to him. #can you tell im in qcharlie mode jsjfjejfhj im losing my mind <3 #qsmp #qsmp charlie #qsmp slimecicle #qsmp charlie slimecicle

Just realized something: Splinter had to watch his mother leaves to sacrifice herself to save the world, and his son leaves to sacrifice himself to save the world. The pain he must have gone through.

And with the abondonment issues he had from the first time, there is no way he left his baby blue's side in the weeks following the Krangs' bs.

#rottmnt #rise splinter #rise leo #his heart must have broke in so many pieces #there is no bigger pain than a parent losing a child #and yet Splinter got even worse by re-living trauma at the same time

I think I have unpopular Sandman takes bc I'm usually on his side

#like I would also not promise not to take revenge like maybe you shouldn't do things...to make him take revenge and just accept the possible #consequences #but uh I also assume he wouldn't have done much to the kid #and I'm not on the pregnant lady's side #Like obviously as a human Empathy for your loss #But letting the universe start falling to pieces and acting like you're somehow OWED a child with your dead husband #not to mention owed your dead husband #is so incredibly selfish #not to mention compounding the issue by apparently trying so hard to avoid the consequences of your action that you #a) refuse to accept your kid is like never gonna be a human and it's entirely your fault #b) try and fuck with the fabric of the universe AGAIN #like the consequence of her kid being taken from her probably way earlier than he would have to become Dream #That's like Minimum punishment imo #Being a parent is I'm sure a horrifying and painful thing to deal with a lot as is losing your husbandf #but I'm not going so far to valorize someone's individual pain that they don't have any responsibility for their stupid fucking actions #sorry it hurts and sucks but uh the universe doesn't owe you SHit #and I'm only for robbing it if you're like #eating the rich or fighting god not fucking over everyone else who you don't care about because you're a jerk #cmo's log #he's totally wrong for not forgiving his ex tho. WACK get over yourself you big fucking baby #get wreckt

living with abusive parents is like having the worst scum of the earth constantly telling you who you are and how you should live while they do the exact opposite and make worst possible decisions and the worst part of it that you still somehow hope these ignorant self-centered shallow hypocritical victim-playing villains would somehow find it in their non-existing hearts to care about you because they're your fucking parents for gods sake and you don't want to be without a family

Going absolutely fucking bananas thinking about Wanderer running into Childe post-erasure and having his entire being crack and shatter because Childe doesn't know who he is anymore. He doesn't have a heart, so why can he feel it breaking??

#absolutely losing my mind about it i cant stop thinking about it #i want a fic where they have to work together and childe falls in love with him all over again #and wanderer is torn between indulging in the love he so desperately wants and pushing childe away because #even if childe loves him its not the same and its not /him/ and childe was the one bright spot in #centuries of inky black muck that kept him from succumbing to his own despair and anger sooner #he experiences the loss of childe but childe isnt even gone hes right there and it would be so so so easy to just #lean into it and let himself be loved again #but it would always be painful #genshin impact #genshin spoilers #genshin impact spoilers #chiscara #tartaglia #scaramouche #wanderer #wanderer genshin

Kaeya oftentimes wonders what it must have been like, living in Khaenri'ah. Reading the tales of Khaenri'ahn heroes Jean's shared with him, of things he remembered his father mentioning, helped him picture it all. As did knowledge the Akademiya has of Dahri ruins he managed to get his hands on one way or another years later, during his visit to Sumeru.

#hc; kaeya #//It was really after meeting Dainsleif that the thoughts increased exponentially; and became almost painful #//Thoughts of what it could have been like; had he grown up a 'proper' Alberich; surrounded by family & the culture he'd been wrenched from #//Of what Khaenri'ah looked like in her heyday; of the countless people lost because of the Cataclysm living their daily lives #//He wants to learn so much more; no matter what it means #//He loves Mond dearly; but it hurts feeling that emptiness from being denied that connection #//Of losing his mother tongue the longer it went unused; of not knowing the traditions he ought to have celebrated #//Rites of passage he must have missed in favor of Mond traditions; holidays; family customs #//Could he have had siblings? Cousins? Aunts; uncles; GRANDPARENTS??? #//What would his upbringing have been like? Strict? Lenient? Would they have accepted him as he was? No mask necessary? #//Could his father have truly loved him so closely; instead of keeping him at arms length like he KNEW they'd have to part soon? #//That he didn't want to grow too fond of his own child because he could lose him any moment? (is it a wonder kae does the same at times?) #//What would it have been like; being a Knight of Khaenri'ah? Surely he would have given Khaenri'ah his heart; like he had for Mond #//If Khaenri'ah still stood to this day...would he; Diluc and Jean have still been friends? As fond and close as they once had been? #//Logically; he doubts that; but his foolish heart likes to think the three were MEANT to meet; one way or another #//MEANT to have that friendship they'd once shared (before he went and ruined everything with Diluc) #//Surely they would have found a way to make it work; no matter the distance from Khaenri'ah to Mondstadt #//Maybe they could have bridged the gap between the godless nation and the people of the Anemo Archon #//Ahh; but that's wishful thinking; now wouldn't it be? #//He likes to wonder how it would have felt; having that certain loyalty to his nation; not torn between his family's past & his current on #//Would he have been happier; had he been born to and raised in that nation? Rather than left to live in this one? #//Though he'd have to wonder if that would be true; considering the Archons' treatment of them in the end #//No doubt war would always be looming on the horizon; and if Dahri records were right...Celestia wasn't their only issue #//Still; he can't help but dream; and with a certain; aching longing at that

The Child known as Demophoon

#lore olympus #lo hades #lo demophoon #lo demeter #lo persephone #my gosh it all makes sense now #the reason why demeter was so desperate to hold onto Persephone when they were reunited #its why she was trying so hard to push Persephone away from Hades #its because she lost someone - her own child and couldn't do anything about it #the grief that Demeter must have had from losing not one but two of her babies to the underworld #and she never told anyone of her pain till now

i will ALWAYS love seeing, in movies/tv shows, the things parents will do to protect their children. joel shooting any and everyone he encounters without mercy or hesitation in order to save his babygirl will forever give me chills. you could literally see the very moment when joel decided that they all were going to die. he chose ellie over humanity and he would do it every time.

#the last of us #tlou #tlou spoilers #the last of us spoilers #joel miller #ellie williams #i agree with joel #you could never ever ever expect a good parent to choose to have their child harmed #like what did marlene expect ???? #joel already lost a child #i couldn’t even imagine the pain of losing a child #she shouldn’t have expected that he’ll willingly lose another one #joels choice was without a doubt selfish but i support his decision #i’m a joel apologist #op #oooh another good one was rick grimes ripping out a man’s throat with his teeth #oooh and i loved how calm joel was #he wasn’t breathing heavy #he wasn’t frantic #he was so calm when he was shooting everyone #ugh i could watch that scene over and over again

i heard karlachs monologue was rlly good but holy shit i genuinely dont think i'll be the same after that

#olive.txt #bg3 spoilers #spoilers in tags !! #samantha seriously deserves an award that was soul wrenching #i think back in interviews where they talked abt karlachs trauma and how she reverts into a scared child #the whole encounter w gortash was very much that #and he speaks down to her and calls her a brat #imagine saying ''what do you know about the greater good'' TO THE LIVING EMBODIMENT OF GOOD #he doesnt care what he did to her at all but she does care!! he betrayed her and stole her future and there is no closure! #well i felt pretty satisfied i casted a dancing scroll on him and let karlach go to town *youre gonna go far kid plays in the distance* #her pain and anger is so understandable no one deserves this especially not her #the delivery of ''my heart. it was mine. and they took it'' is so incredibly natural and heartbreaking. this scene gave me actual heartburn #shes seemed pretty confident abt dying but i guess in her own words courage isnt fearlessness :( #ugh the part where she just wants you to tell her everything will be alright and that you can save her!!! so cruel larian! #for a character that lost their heart she sure as hell didnt lose her soul </3 #''THANKS FOR LISTENING. FOR EXISTING. LOVE YOU.'' #yeah was not prepared for what im guessing is the romantic version of her scene back at camp #idk why i thought they wouldnt address it but wow when she asks if youll stay w her when its her time to go. im in shambles #might take back some of my opinions abt her endings. its still cruel she doesnt get a Happy ending but its being handled rlly well so far

[soryualeksi]

That's it. I crossed my mental limit.

#this was me when russia invaded ukraine and threatened nuclear war #there is no difference between me and this mother #there is no difference between our children #I'm losing it from the pain I'm feeling for her and her child #what else could we have done to stop this. why did nothing work. #rafah invasion #the world should be ashamed #gaza genocide #palestine genocide #germany is complicit

carth watching in increasing despair as this random soldier he escaped the endar spire with and who agreed to keeping a "low profile" makes an enemy of tarisian nobility and the local crime lord, loses all their credits in pazaak games, enters a dueling ring with the excuse of regaining the credits but really just wants to blow off some steam, goes to a sith party with the excuse of searching for leads on bastila's whereabouts but really just wants to see how fun the sith are to party with,

#the 'prodigal knight' and 'dreaded sith lord' is also the wildest party-goer in the galaxy babyyyy #the sith are not fun to party with btw. cant hold their liquor and the music choices are mid #this is what ultimately sets liah on the light side path (not really but thats what she tells everyone. half-jokingly.) #also i havent actually lost any credits in pazaak yet. i beat that one guy in the cantina who claims to be the best player around. ha #but like Canonically liah is so bad at pazaak. or maybe its just bad luck. either way she keeps losing but cant stop playing #she simply cannot say no to a challenge. be it card games or duels. i love her #ch: liah #el plays kotor #im having a blast w this game but i cant stop thinking abt what it could be if it werent so old n limited by the technology of its time #the quests could have more layers n paths n outcomes...... #like what if the sith party was bigger what if you could get absolutely shitfaced n fail to find anything that could help in ur search. lol #instead of just. u walk in to apartment. u briefly talk to guy who invited u. screen fades to black. #everyone except for u is passed out on the floor bc they had too much to drink. u didnt even get a chance to drink. #quest proceeds. loot sith armor for disguise and be on ur merry way. no partying for u. #sigh. kotor remake....... you remain in my dreams........ #also disclaimer theres nothing wrong with a game being more linear!!! #not every game has to have the complexities n permutations of modern rpgs!!! sometimes simplicity is better!!! #but im just saying. it would be fun and its fun to think about. #also btw some of the dialogue in this game sounds like its written by a child. its a bit painful at times. but anyway

Feeling normal thoughts about reading the hymn of demeter with the context of Greek family structures

#gay thoughts #would love to see an adaptation refocus on demeter #the pain of a mother who cant find her child #whl knows something terrible has happened but doesnt know what #a father arranging a marriage secretly #the dread she must have felt when she learned what really happened #i also love the death interpretation #the way mothers in athens might have seen their own hidden grief in losing their daughter when shes still a teen

[jekyll-doodles]

Just because I'm feeling a little chaotic, what would cause the human lords (before being broken) to go emotionally numb? Like what specifically for each Lord before being broken would be so emotionally intense they would just go numb? I imagine for rubedo specifically, watching his past (losing his daughter and wife specifically) infront of his eyes without being able to do anything, would cause this, but maybe I'm wrong?

Well, he missed them dying the first time, so you're not too far off. However, isolating him from his current support system would cause greater damage and be far more numbing long term, and in fact does. It didn't help and was no coincidence that the Ambassador's gifts to him were always that special mysterious wine.

The ambassador did emotionally numb them, in the most definite way. So to answer this question really is to just describe what happened in slightly more explicit detail. The slow testing of their loyalty and boundaries, persuading and pressuing, misleading and gaslighting.
