#oooooh time for another controversial opinion #i get that babygate frustrates us and just puts us off and all that i get that i was there when it happened i'm still here i feel the same #but can we all just think. for once. that it's possible that it's harder for louis than it is for us? #like. we can ignore it and talk shit about but it's actually his fucking reality #and yeah he's rich and white and privileged but also like. this has so much to do about his mental health than all that #i get us being frustrated but i truly don't understand people getting entitled???? like you can't just end it with a click of a button #there's SO MUCH entangled in this #people act like louis CHOSE this like louis WANTED this and it's like. you're diminishing his brain and intellect to that #ending babygate will lead to a cascading domino effect of a lot of things. like it'll be the industry's biggest exposé #so yeah i just think that louis' doing his best and maneuvering it in ways that he thinks is wise #like you can't just be like ''so i'm not the father. also i'm gay. also fuck syco. fuck the industry'' without it literally shifting the #entire industry. like the entire band will be affected. even harry #so can we all just. for one second sit back and realise that LOUIS is the one who's actually dealing with this and we're just WATCHING it? #like this isn't our reality this isn't our life we don't know anything and can we at least give louis a bit more credit #than the rubbish narrative that ''he wants this'' like fuck's sake #babygate

I find it a bit cute knowing they start out as crazy and then slowly settle into something calmer and relatively healthier after learning to adapt to each other's lust-turned-love. [Stanley did it first but hey :3]

I literally woke up in the middle of the night like God will dark rise is so fucking screwed. The line that’s like. “Everyone wanted to kill the Dark King.” What’s the part where he looks at Violet helplessly, haunted, almost pleading for mercy? But of course he reveals nothing of substance to anyone. Elizabeth is too young to understand but the reader knows what “Her relationship with that boy was…unnatural” can mean. Tying him to bedposts? Failing to strangle him? What else? Never not even once seeing beyond a mythological identity Will himself didn’t know he had? What did he think was the reason? That he was just intrinsically hateful? Of course he says nothing. Of course Violet can’t trust him- he’s given her nothing as painfully real as what she’s given him. So he gives her the sword hoping at least he can die at the hands of someone he loved, but even that doesn’t work out - she gives the sword to a Visander still furious at SARCEAN. The pattern continues; no one looks at Will, who vomits when he realizes what’s happened to James, Will who is much of a liar and killer and sneak as Elizabeth accuses but nonetheless wants to be different. Even when he doesn’t remember his own past. There’s no way out for him that doesn’t hurt. Hope this obsession passes soon given the one and a half years of waiting required for book 3

#dark rise series #dark heir #rarely does a cliffhanger pain me so much #bc rarely am I ever THAT invested in a plot I am sad to say #nona the ninth was so cathartic in of itself I’m content marinating before alecto #BUT PACAT ONLY EVER GIVES EMOTIONAL CRUMBS #have any of these bitches ever known peace fr #maybe this is what reading princes gambit and not immediately having the follow up might’ve been like #honestly it’s possibly damen and Lauren just generally had less problems tho #more than his relationship even with James. will/Violet is perhaps the genuine source of like. I WISH HED GIVEN HER A REASON. #the narration that describes Violet as Will’s star in the night…….. like fuck fine #will can’t reach any level of genuine intimacy with James bc the mess of fraught noncon dynamics is this massive unspoken horrible thing #wills identity is personal w James in a way it is with no one else but James is so fucking oblivious of undercurrents it comes unbalanced #and will knows it. but (as far as we know) violet isn’t reborn has no history with sarcean the dark king she’s literallt just Some Guy #and that almost makes it worse???????? that they are so loyal to each other even as he’s keeping a massive secret? #they weren’t dated or destined to entangle the way will is w characters like James and Katherine #and I think that makes his rship with Violet possibly the realest and truest experience of trust and love will has ever had #like it’s nothing bro. truly she knows nothing about him other than his lies of omission and her faith in him goodness which may or may not #beiltimately justified. but that was probably as honest and close will ever got to anyone. and him to her.

Sparks flew as the doppelganger caught Hiccup’s sword with his two daggers. The small flame illuminated his face with a fiery red glow that, for a moment, made Hiccup’s heart catch in his throat. This man’s eyes shown like green acid pierced him as well as any blade ever could. His heart thundered in his chest as he tried to hold firm but that unnerving gaze really was too much. Hiccup felt his will falter and his strength dwindle as Jack’s voice rang out around the clearing, begging them to stop.

The level of intertwining between Batman and Joker as characters at this point... is utterly insane.

Joker has been Joseph Wayne, Bruce's long lost brother in Batman/Lobo (2000) -- leaving aside the implications of Joker (2019).

Joker has been Bruce's alternate personality twice, in Batman: Two Faces (1998) and DC: House of Horrors -- Last Laugh (2017).

The Batman Who Laughs is what Bruce turns into if he kills Joker, a version of Batman who believes in what Joker believes, as shown in Dark Nights: Metal (2017).

Joker has been Batman's other half in the existence of Bat-Joker/Jokerborg as well, with them literally being stitched together (as in Joker's face is on the back of Bruce's head), in The New 52: Futures End (2014).

Joker has been Alfred in Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader.

Joker has been Batman's wife and Bruce's mother, Martha Wayne, in Flashpoint.

Joker became Bruce's Robin in Batman: The Last Knight on Earth (2019).

And now, apparently Joker's son has been Bruce's Robin, as revealed in New Golden Age (2022).

Joker's literally been everything to Batman. From his worst enemy to his own self to a combination of them both to his mother to his brother to his surrogate father to a son to a wife.

theyre that couple that say goofy lovely dovey things like ‘marry me?’ before making important decisions as like their ‘i love you’ or whatever and then will fight to the nondeath over small inconsequential things eg sonic put shadows eyeliner in the wrong fucking cabinet!!

#shadow proposed first btw #they both almost died and lost their legs (shadow right sonic left) #and so when he woke up one of the first things he said to sonic was ‘you’re alive!’ #and immediately after ‘marry me!’ #hes gay like that #btw i am so very aroace and theyre like. dubiously romantically involved #theyre more like queerplatonic with some romance but also not like their relationship is romantic #theyre partners theyre rivals theyre married they hate each other they love each other more than anything in the world #they will travel the universe together until the end of time #theyve buried all of their friends together #they have fought on every planet they landed on #yes they kiss but its just to reassure that they love each other #they hold hands and hug they will also claw each other apart #they are so very gun song coded idk #i love them and they are partners until the end of time #rivals to lovers but make it nonexclusively romantic #i hate romance where its just romance give me complicated entanglement #i also love sonadow when theyre just romance dont take this the wrong way make them love each other HOWEVER #i dont understand writing romantic relationships like that! #ok ive talked too much in the tags #sonic #sth #shadow the hedgehog #sonadow #immortal au tag #art tag

I love when Holly confronts Artemis about the (lack of) value he places on the lives and agency of others, as Butler will be simultaneously chilling offscreen somewhere, having definitely killed before in his career.

#Butler is my baby princess. I love you little fucked up man <3 #Holly will look at Butler with affection and think 'my fellow soldier :)' meanwhile that role entailed possible war crimes on Butler's end #domovoi butler #artemis fowl #and I think what also makes this so striking is that Butler has a much stronger sense of how to be kind and compassionate than Artemis #inherently does -- but when it comes to the big moral lines in the sand it is honestly Artemis who much more intensely feels them #and of course this is all complicated by when Butler starts to develop a more personal relationship with someone -- such as how at the end #of AF he tells Artemis that he doesn't want to become entangled with the People again (largely due to Holly saving his life and Juliet's)

jing yuan and yanqing are giving zhongli and xiao if the latter’s canon relationship was Actually fanon’s made up father figure/adopted child dynamic

#idkkkkkkkkkkkkk who looks at zx and is like 'you know what. this is a healthy parent child relationship' #like girl by fitting them into father son boxes you are actively making their relationship imbalance Worse #if you do that and dont shy away from it i respect that but if you say dad/son makes their relationship more wholesome or whatever like WHY #now i wont deny shippers might do that too but i see the dad son version so much i think im just averse to it by default #also because i think father son makes people actively Try to make their relationship something that its not and it erases a bunch of subtlet #subtleties in it. it's the nuanced r/ship -> entirely unproblematic and flavorless r/ship that i hate #also the number of people who'll block if you ship zx. like damn thats crazy you guys really think theyre father son (fake)??? #at their peak they're like. 4000 year old guys who have too much history and repression and some weird entanglement of 'nah im bothering him #too much' and 'gotta protect him w my life' complexes. and then this devolves into theyre never gonna kiss until 3000 more years have passed #listen they just Contain Multitudes idc if you dont ship it just dont make it into dad and son and we will be so gucci #jing.yuan and yanqing are like different i think mostly bc yanqing is actually like a minor and jing yuan is also a normal ish person #plus the light cone and the abouts?? yeah this is an actual like adopted parent/child thing #also good or bad news i caved and am now playing hsr. the plan is to pull yanqing and then go on infinite hiatus in the game 👍 #JWKFLJWEK i dont think theres really any draws for me besides him. personally neutral on turn based combat and the open world isn't giving #the only saving grace i have rn is 1) ive gotten to the part where bron.seele is real and man theyre gay 2) trailblazer trio 3) tall female #mc 4) everyone has way better emoting abilities than genshin 5) su.shang's really cute <3 #the story doesnt really interest me though its like cool but not mindgrippingly interesting #tbf i think genshin is the same way storyline wise (at the beginning) but the difference is that turn based combat isnt really my thing LMAO #ramblings! #zhongxiao #if you want to filter it out ??

for the ship ask game...

feligami 🦚🐉

HI SELKIE 💘💓💗 let’s go into my room and sit on my bed. i have snacks 🥰

What made you ship it?

i didn’t ship feligami until very recently, since i have strong feelings about arocoded félix, but while i was making amvs i saw how many times they held hands and my heart was swayed.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

i don’t ship it enough to have an answer for this question 🤣 get nina in here. nina has essays on essays about queerness and abuse recovery. i suppose my answer is the hand holding.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

i have strong feelings about this one too. they would not have kids ‼️ they would not get married ‼️ down with the nuclear family ‼️

(ship ask game)

#miraculous ladybug #🦭 #🌃 #maybe i will ramble about why i think félix is arocoded eventually #although i think part of it is the level to which i associate myself with him i mean i get physical pain whenever i think about aus where #he’s replaced in adrien’s life because i feel his emotions so viscerally they’re entangled with mine #BUT i think the idea has narrative merit on its own i mean #just another way in which you’re called a monster not human not feeling things like everyone else #seemingly doomed to be alone because you don’t relate to other people in the right way #your cousin chooses love over you and you just can’t understand you know? #and possibly even félix’s inability to love being a command from his father #the bunny incident i mean #paralleling trauma based aromanticism and the complicated feelings of not knowing whether you were always this way or it was done to you #and how to proceed and whether you’re valid and whether there’s even such a thing as being fixed #but i also believe in aroace amélie which means we can draw another parallel between them and he can be comfortable and proud because of he #*her #and you could make an argument for aro adrien too but i’m getting way off track #whoops i rambled so much LOVE YOU SELKIE

it's not really a groundbreaking revelation by any means but it still disappoints and disgusts me to no end - how the last 5 months really shed a light on how much people are openly willing to celebrate and call for the violent deaths of civilians, children, families - while still maintaining that they're morally superior compared to people on the "other side"

#and yes this is 100% written vaguely exactly because i saw it coming from all sides #they mirror each other so perfectly it's almost laughable #it'd have been if my whole life wasn't entangled in this shit #any yeah it has existed for many years before october #but like many things it just got MUCH louder and more extreme since then #ישראבלר

He finally texted me back and I’m on my knees. Like I might actually cry - he wants to live 😭😭 ffffuck. HAPPY about being alive, FUCK - I can’t believe he just said that with his fingers aaaHHHHH.

#2.2 spoilers #Aventurine #HSR #my witterings #I cant express fully how much this means to me #he mentioned he’s still having nightmares as well so it’s not like his cptsd is just magically cured #but wanting to live #still struggling with anxiety and loneliness and still entrenched and entangled with the past #but still able to experience that fragile sliver of happiness that comes with the simple fact he’s alive 🥹😭 #I’m gonna throw up #I can’t tell you how meaningful it’s been to just appreciate being a living thing #something so fundamental and simple and small #fuck and it’s what rat wanted for him too 😭 #staying alive for his own sake #and only for the sake of living #no value prescribed to it #it’s okay to just be your messy fucked up self auahagghhhhhhhhh #idk so many people with cptsd never get to this point #its a diagnosis with not a super high rate of favourable outcomes #and representation of the suffering that comes with ir means a lot to me but also the hard won difficult joy and appreciation and recovery #is so so so so wonderful to see #I’ll have much more articulate thoughts about it later right now I’m just #so so happy

no one understands hina and byakuya friendship like i do

#i feel like the common idea is that makoto and byakuya are opposites #and honestly i really dont think they are #hina and byakuya fit those roles much better to me. they are oil and water in every sense #which makes their dynamic so INTERESTING #because they're forced to share the same space after the events of dr1. the survivors are entangled in eachothers lives forever etc etc #so how does close quarters mold their relationship #after ripping each others faces off do they inspect the flesh in their hands any further #do they want to? #danganronpa

i feel like gravity has a connotation of or is equated to words like 'strong' or 'powerful' when arguably, electromagnetic forces (which keep your atoms together) are much more powerful because ! they keep your atoms together (among other things) !!

and in the context of poetry, and specifically love poetry, it's like why write about a gravitational pull when you can write of how your love is stronger than gravity, how even down to the smallest parts of you, you feel that compulsive pull, that you can lift an apple off a table and gravity doesn't stand a chance, but put two magnets together and you can feel the desperation, that you can at least try to resist gravity but you can't at all resist this

#solstice shares #musings #picking back up a book on the physics of nothing and i got to a part where the author was discussing electromagnetic forces #and its just so fun to think about all the interactions between particles #don't even get me started on quantum entanglement #the fact that two particles no matter where they are can just exhibit some force or effect on the other #inexplicably too ! #there's so much love in physics #edit: there's def value in gravity as a metaphor for love though #book talks about how gravity compounds so !

I genuinely don't know how I would have been able to pursue becoming a priest without transitioning first. Not just because transitioning has made me into a much more confident person with a closer relationship to God, my community, and myself, but also because the life experience has been so weirdly similar.

Telling people that you want to become a priest? Weirdly like coming out as trans. Some people are happy for you, many are confused or surprised, some are pretty uncomfortable with it, but no matter how they feel, the vast majority of people don't know how to talk to you about it. You're not just telling them what you want to do with yourself in the future, you're hinting that you've had this big, very personal change about how you think of yourself and your place in the world, but no one knows how to talk about deep gender feelings or religious feelings in polite company so we have to stick to surface chat while knowing that there's something much deeper lurking underneath.

Going to seminar? Weirdly like early transition. You're connecting with new people and cultures, you're learning a ton of stuff that makes you reevaluate your entire worldview, you're seeing the world in totally new ways. You have breakdowns constantly but when you recover, your strength to go forward is even stronger than it was. You learn to translate this deep yearning of your soul into reality, and that's fucking scary and overwhelming but every time you move forward, you realize it's worth it. Also, it's way too expensive.

Applying to become a postulant? Whooo boy, I definitely needed the practice of all the paperwork, appointments, and evaluations from transitioning to even make me a fraction of the way ready to do the same to become a priest. There are so many goddamn steps and meetings.

Anyways I'm once again grateful I'm trans. Dunno how cis people do it.

#and this isn't even starting on how realizing that I'm nonbinary was fundamentally entangled in feeling called #so much that they're not parallel experiences #they're part of the same experience #christianity #about me
