A rant about TPOT 7 because I kinda really didn't like it
Uhhhh so I'm just going to copy and paste the rant I sent to my partner (it's going to be all over the place cause I was upset and crying and my thoughts were all jumbled so stick with me) If anyone wants to try to convince me that I'm stupid and wrong please do because I want to like the episode and I really don't want to be upset about this in the way that I am "Nothing against Sam but bro needs to take some consideration when writing Fanny That was not at ALL something she would do. Would she avenge Lightning? Yes. Would she try to change the way that DPACTA is going about the challenges? YES. Would she do it in THAT WAY? ABSOLUTELY NOT. That is just about as far from her nature as you can get. The way I see it, Fanny is an angry pacifist. She has literally never killed anyone before. She shows major compassion for her teammates on DPACTA. When Tree is sick, she shows concern. BECAUSE SHE'S THE CHARACTER THAT LOOKS OUT FOR THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING! THAT IS THE MAIN. PART. OF HER CHARACTER. THE PART WHERE SHE HATES SEEING PEOPLE IN DIFFICULT PLACES. THE PART WHERE SHE HATES INJUSTICE. THE PART WHERE SHE HATES SUFFERING. ONE OF THE MAIN FUCKING COMPONENTS OF HER CHARACTER. And with a single episode it was just stripped away. I can absolutely see the episode playing out with Fanny avenging Lightning's elimination, because it was unjust. And I can see that she would be upset with Blackhole for insisting on the Death Prevention being the absolute main priority. Because I've been saying this, but if they keep getting eliminated, there's going to be nobody to prevent death. If they can do their best in a challenge and quickly gain immunity, they can go about preventing various deaths. Or, they can send out a member or two to help prevent death at different times while they work on the challenges. Changes like that would have reached a compromise, WHICH WOULD BE THE KIND OF THING FANNY WOULD SUGGEST! Also the downplay of Pie's elimination in the episode was so weird? What the fuck was that?? It's so bizarre though. Fanny is NOT the type to target Tree in such a violent and cruel way, specifically because she knows that BH would be seriously disturbed and affected by it. EVEN WRITING THAT OUT IS MAKING ME FEEL DISCOMFORTED, BECAUSE SHE WOULDN'T FUCKING DO THAT! Hating the P.A.C.T.? Fine. That isn't too far of a reach, I can see that she was upset and would say something like that. But resorting to murder because "Oh you guys are being really stupid right now" is not in character?????? Despite what a lot of people think, Fanny isn't a violent person. She vents frustration, yes. Is unnecessarily cruel to someone because they ticked her off? No! I get that she was frustrated from not being listened to when she was bringing up an issue that was a valid criticism. But that is not how she would react, just because Blackhole wasn't hearing her out. She was starting to get the other members to be more willing to compromise, and that's how that interaction should have gone! IT SHOULD NOT HAVE FUCKING ENDED WITH THE MURDER OF TREE That is the equivalent of intentionally triggering someone because they disagreed with a point you said. AND FANNY WOULD NOT BE DISRESPECTFUL OF SOMETHING THAT SERIOUS. I CAN'T FUCKING DEAL WITH THIS RIGHT NOW. THE GROSS MISCHARACTERIZATION IS DISGUSTING? Literally that is the furthest thing from Fanny and I don't know how we got here" I also had stopped ranting and then decided I was still upset so here's one more little thing I guess "NO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M STILL PISSED ABOUT THIS I'M NOT DONE RANTING THIS IS AWFUL ! FANNY IS LITERALLY REALLY AGAINST VIOLENCE? IN TPOT 1 WHEN LITERALLY EVERYONE IS BEATING UP TWO, SHE'S STANDING TO THE SIDE JUST YELLING SHE'S STILL MAD AT THEM, BUT EVEN STILL SHE ISN'T PHYSICALLY HARMING THEM I'M SO FUCKING DONE WITH THIS RIGHT NOW" ndjuhsddsgysdftc now that I've kinda had a chance to cool off, can I have like a civil discussion with someone about this because I think it would be good for me to look at more opinions than just my own thanks

Finally continuing the FMA 03 rewatch I started 3 years ago, I just rewatched episodes 17 to 25, I have many feelings.
So, SOOO many wholesome moments, from Scar telling Al that he saw his real tears, to Ed and Winry remembering that time when Den ate Alphonse' cake slice and poor baby boy cried his heart out, to Al being so nice to Sciezka
Winry is incredible and I can't remember why the hell I used to hate her when I first watched as a teenager, without her the Elrics would've gone nowhere
They're also very ungrateful towards her, but at least Ed makes efforts to be better when she calls him out on his bullshit
That old Ishvalan dude looking after Rick and Leo has his tunic patched with some floral fabric and I find that incredibly funny
Ed is called out so much more in this than in mangahood, and we're clearly meant to think that he is indeed wrong, like in these 9 episodes I rewatched, Winry yells at him several times about him being unfair to her and to Pinako, Al yells at him, Maria yells at him, the Slicer Brothers yell at him about how him calling them humans makes their lives in the armor meaningless etc, and I feel like everytime, I was like "yeah, they got a point" and the show wants us to think that yeah, Ed should apologize to Winry and Al, yeah, the Slicer Bros situation is more complex than Ed thinks it is, he's not always right, in fact he's quite often wrong, and PROVEN wrong throughout the series, or at the very least he is told that his worldview and his experiences are not the only ones that are valid, and all of that is what's making him grow, and it's been a while since I read the manga/watched BH, but from what I remember, Ed is The Hero, therefore He Is Right almost every time, and honestly I prefer 03's version, I find that more interesting
The rain poured so much harder at Hughes' funeral this time around bc since the last time I watched this scene I lost my dad too
Anyway I love this show, can't wait to go past the Dublith section because I've had a lot of rewatches stop after that for some reason??

Hey, Shaz! Hope you're doing well. This is the first time I'm showing myself around here. Love your posts.
I was thinking. Not only is yelling "BH ARE FORCING THEM TO DO FAN SERVICE/PR!" dismissing KM's relationship and Tae's free will to choose his own girlfriend, but it's also so disrespectful towards BTS as a whole and the other members individually. It's perpetuating the idea that idols are nothing but their company's toys and they're forced to do things they don't want to do, something BTS have been trying since pre-debut to prove wrong in their case. It's something Namjoon struggled with a lot back in the day because people loved shitting on his work, dismissing his status as a rapper and calling him an industry puppet. It was and apparently still is a problem. Saying that KM and Tae are forced to do fan service/PR stuff these days is no different than calling them tools, pawns, toys, liars. According to this logic, the BTS members are pretty fake because BH can totally force them to do anything and they're quietly following orders. They have no will of their own, they're being handled, even though they're unfireable millionaires and literally the breadwinners. (Now imagine Yoongi forced to do something. That man would probably set the company's building on fire before he allowed others use him for their benefit. I'm joking. I'm joking. Or am I?)
When we got into this Bangtan stuff, most of us stayed because of how genuine these men were. They were keeping it real, they were relatable, they were "just like us". People always talk about this in the community like it's their life motto. "BTS are genuine" left and right. It's something ARMYs are very proud of. But when it comes to KM the genuineness goes out the window. JM and JK are not genuine. They're feeding us lies. They're this and that. People claim they love them (or at least one of them if they're a hardcore TKer, although a lot of these individuals hate JK as well and it shows), but they're so quick to doubt and portray both JM and JK as awful people. Because if TK is real (which is not), KM are terrible friends to Tae and if I were a TKer and I saw JK in JM's business 24/7 I'd wish TK broke up to be honest. If they have other secret relationships (which they don't), they're being horrible boyfriends to their partners when they suck and bite each other's ear and neck, flirt in broad daylight, hold hands, go out and have fun just the two of them all the time, talk until morning, come together, leave together, joined at the hip and are overall extremely Romantic Couple™.
KM apart, I'm writing this for very specific people, but y'all don't deserve any of these men. Clearly, you don't respect them or their decisions. You don't trust them and you don't believe in their autonomy. You think they're just BH's marionettes. At this point I really don't understand why some of you are stanning them. You obviously don't like BTS.
Tumblr media
Idek what chapter 2 has become. People like me who became Armys last year it was literally such bad timing to join the fandom. I wouldn't be shocked if some people just turned around and left. Ever since solo projects were announced its been a fucking mess. And from what I gather while the vermin were many they never used to be as vile as they are now. Chapter 2 just seems to have made them worse.
When BTS were still doing ot7 stuff it was easy to think we were all ot7. (Well, apart from solos who make that pretty obvious) But these big, big accounts got away with pretending to be ot7 back then. But now with members doing shit one at a time people are showing their true colors and it has not been pretty.
I envy people who support BTS on the surface. People who are only subscribed to BTS official accounts and only listen to their music and watch their reality shows then go about their day. Those people know peace. 😂 Ignorance is bliss y'all.
Stay strong Jikookers. Stay strong. It's gonna be alright. I promise 😘

If TKK didn't believe Wattpad's about how TK are suppressed & forced hidden by BH & keep making up fake sightings. That when TK are actually spotted out together, it wouldn't be such a shock to their system. Tae has PUBLICLY said he hangs out with JK & posts pics of JK & interacts with JK, but TKK still force this "TK are hidden" agenda. So when TK do something normal, like bowling with friends, they blow it out of proportion & yell TK are being loud/rebelling OR maybe they're just bowling?
Me being happy that maybe we can all actually celebrate a cute taekook moment/outing together for once and being optimistic and enjoying the things I'm seeing.... my inbox and report pages bringing me quickly back to reality that we can't enjoy things WITH tkkrs (at least the ones being loud rn) because they always gotta take things too far and ruin the fun. And I'm lumping a lot of the toxic jkkrs bitching in my inbox too here....

18, 20, 22, 24! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
THANK UUU I LOVE HATING I LOVE BEING TOXIC LETS GOOOOO
18: it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on...
okay it's not so much that people are sleeping on it as that i'm the only one as invested in it as i am but. buzzdriessen. i am thinking abt them every minute of every day i am so neurodivergent about them. in all honesty i wish there were more fics about them since there's 3 that i know of and i've written 2 of them (and the other only has them in the background).
ALSO some of the background character students!!! cassandra and earl and kimberly and cody and dean and uhhh. others. i like most of them but nobody ever talks abt them
20: part of canon you found tedious or boring
i have a few gripes with the newest seasons lol. they keep fucking dying at the end of episodes which just feels too mean-spirited to me. the point was that they're too stupid to live but just keep on living. also, a lot of the episodes are them doing schemes to get rich or get chicks, and i'm not saying they didn't do that before, but there's too much. the concentration is too high. too many schemes not enough antics. ALSO. mike judge keeps featuring this character tom anderson, who's basically a proto-hank-hill, and he's fine in small doses but there's SO much of him lately. i think mike judge just wants to voice hank but this is the closest he can get until they work on the koth reboot
22: your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
no one else even cares that van driessen gets critically injured every day of his life and keeps on truckin. or the bit where his class won't shut up and he's like "guyssss do i need to get mr. buzzcut in here?"
OH and this bit where he's hanging out with a couple other guys and they're mad at him for being a pussy and one says "the guys at the gym were right about you, you ARE a pantywaist!" and like. IK YOU DON'T GO TO THE GYM BABYGIRL WHY WERE THE GUYS TALKING ABOUT YOU. WHY WERE THEY TALKING ABOUT YOU THERE
24: topic that brings up the most rancid discourse
uhh i try to avoid b&bh discourse so idk how much it exists but. one time i said i didn't like butthead x daria and everyone yelled at me and beat me with whips and chains

So we’ll maybe get a reaction to the Rosebowl Moment? 👀 https://twitter.com/stopkookminpls/status/1583281121717985280?s=46&t=RRJ3ycB5z4CCK1VMV9iTAQ
These past few years have been wild. I remember back in 2019, a lot of people were saying that it didn’t happen and jikookers were making shit up but then Hybe dropped Memories of 2020 (?) where we unexpectedly got it in HD (but some people still deny it lmao) and now it might be potentially included in their reaction?? I’m skeptical if they would truly dare but BH keeps surprising me with what they’ve been including in their behind the scene videos these past years so I can’t dismiss it either… I want to be a fly on the wall for when they decide these cuts lmao
**
Hi Anon,
Your link.
That clip, it's Jungkook's smile for me. That smile watching them both on stage, Hobi's reliable chuckle, Jimin suddenly embarrassed.
It's just so fucking sweet.
*
As to the fandom constantly playing ostrich, I'm not sure how some people don't get it, but jikook are too close, too loud and too shameless for HYBE to give a fuck what a sub-set of the fandom would rather not see. Just from a practical standpoint, it would be harder (and more expensive) to edit content in a way that shows jikook not jikooking given how often we see them orbiting each other for apparently no reason..
Like this is the same pair that made sure to explain in detail to their bandmates how exactly they got drunk, how one carried the other, how he didn't stop until a hickey was given. They were pointing and poking and giving reality tv-style confessionals to the camera in case it was missed the first time.
Aside, I know many jikookers see Rosebowl in many different ways. I personally didn't think much of it at the time - Jimin seemed overcome with emotion and Jungkook was feeling all the feels with him. That was honestly my thought when I first saw it. When I later revisited it, something that struck me was the cradling. I'm not really a writer or an analyzer so I might not explain this properly, but it's Jungkook's cradling of Jimin - it's a protective stance, Jimin felt vulnerable and Jungkook's instinct was to protect someone he clearly cares about.
Does he also suck Jimin's ear? Yes.
Does he also kiss Jimin on the side? Yes.
Does he also yell "I love you" and "don't cry Jimin"? Yes.
Does he do all this in front of 90,000 people? Yes.
...
(I feel like a wtf is always in order but this is jikook so I'll just move on)
But it's the cradling that makes this moment super sweet for me. And I really do mean that. Plus ultimately, at the most basic level, all Rosebowl shows is that Jungkook cares about Jimin. Now why would HYBE hide something as loud and loving as that? It's just good business to highlight something so obviously wholesome. And that's what HYBE did. They put it in Memories, in the teaser, had BTS react to it, the whole works. And Jimin is not the reason Rosebowl happened, HYBE is not the reason (it's impossible to edit this moment out of the concert lol).
The only reason this moment happened, is Jungkook. And that reason alone is likely 90% of the reason why those who deny it, deny it as vehemently as they do.
Lol. I just can't help but find things like this funny.

Billy the cook - BH
Summary: Now that he’s back, he’s determined to be the biggest papa bear that there has ever been.
Do not repost or rewrite any of my work. Minors and ageless blogs get blocked.
Masterlist         Asks
Tumblr media
Billy’s been learning how to cook since his mum was around. She taught him some basics about food and kitchen safety, but then she left and Billy was hauled to the dump that is Hawkins. Every now and then he conceded and cooked dinner for him and Max when they were left alone, but other than that they were left to their own devices.
After his rescue however Billy noticed how thin the people around him were looking, himself included. With Neil out of the way and a large amount of hush money coming in each month, he subconciously started making abhorrent amounts of food as a way to help him cope with the Mind Flayer business, after all he wasn’t able to focus on being possessed if he was chopping onions and boiling pasta simultaneously. But then he was looking in the mirror and could touch his ribs, feel the ridging of his scars as he breathed and found himself needing Max’s help lifting things he used to do alone.
Billy was always quite proud of his body, not afraid to show it off whenever he got the chance; and so came to the conclusion he needed to do some major bulking.
It came to his attention soon enough that Max had slimmed down a lot too, witnessing her brother being used as a homocidal puppet for an evil interdimensional cloud of dust took a lot out of her when she was watching over him recovering in the hospital, no one totally sure if he was going to pull through. 
And so his evening binges on bowls of food while watching some music video on the tv became intertwined with watching Max eat her own portion in the kitchen. 
Upon discovering his sister was eating the equivalent to a child’s meal for one of her main courses of the day, Billy took it into his own hands to bulk Max up too. 
“Max! Come eat.” Their new house big enough to warrant his yelling for once.
He could hear the opening of her door as she walked down to the kitchen, stopping abruptly when she saw the amount of food covering the rarely used table. 
“Is someone coming over?” Max asked apprehensively, hoping the answer to be yes over having to further worry over the fact that Billy’s lost his mind.
“Nope.” Shit.
“Well what is going on here cause we are never getting through all of this?”
“Maybe not,” Billy appeared at the dining table with a cloth over his shoulder and yet another plate in his hand, “but we’re gonna damn well try.”
He’s lost his mind.
Nevertheless she sat and scooped out her usual portion before being stopped by Billy almost immediately. 
“More.”
“Billy-”
“More.” 
It was clearly a moot point and Max huffed but relented, allowing Billy to shovel three more spoonfuls onto her plate before handing it back. Oh well, she didn’t have to eat all of it, right?
She started struggling not even half way through the food; her brother on the other hand was chowing down like a beast, metabolism like nothing the girl had ever seen before. Max went to put her fork down like she was done.
“Don’t put that down.”
“What?”
Billy lifted his head and gave Max an unimpressed look. “At least half the plate, if not more.”
“Billy I can’t just shovel down food-”
“Eat. I’ll feed you if I have to.”
Screwing her face up at the notion, Max picked up her fork and continued to eat until at least half the plate was gone. 
Billy was thrilled with himself. Every night that week he had gotten Max to eat at least double what she was before and he could see the improvement; more energy, glowy skin and she fit back into her favourite pair of shorts.
And then there came Eleven. Traumatised sweet little Eleven. 
Billy knew of Max’s only girl friend but never really paid her much attention until after the Starcourt ordeal. Hop was out at work and so was quite happy for Eleven to stay with Max instead of the little dickbag Wheeler who she’d broken up with for the fourth time this week, thanks to Max.
The girls had ordered a pizza for dinner and escaped to Max’s room giggling, settling down for the night just before Billy; Max reading El a comic book before bed. Only Billy found himself peckish again later in the night and left his room to see what other treats he could find in the kitchen to see him over till morning.
However upon turning on the dim kitchen light, he found a deer-in-headlights girl staring back at him with a glass of water clenched in her fist.
“Uh hi.”
“Did I wake you?” She whispered, brown bambi eyes locked to his own baby blues.
“No, my fatass stomach did.” Billy attempted to go for a joke, landing as flat as a roof.
“I’m sorry, I’ll leave.” El turned to leave the older boy in peace, staring at the square tiles on the floor when she was stopped by a hand on her arm. 
“I can’t eat everything on my own.”
And so the wide eyed little bambi was coerced to the living room sofa where she spilled everything to the older boy about her love life dilemma while they simultaneously shoved cereal in their mouths.
It was the best night El had had in a long time.
As Billy started feeling drowsy, he jerked awake at a weight leaning against his right side only to find Bambi dead asleep lolling over to rest on Billy. He didn’t move an inch for the whole night, just got as comfortable as he could and drifted off with a full stomach and weird fluttery feeling in his chest.
Next on his list was Harrington.
It was no secret that Steve spent all his free time tending to the six or seven brats he’d somehow aquired from school, leaving almost no time for himself, though he’d never complain. 
It was only on a particularly gruelling day when Steve had been running back and forth from Family Video, the high school, Robin’s house, the arcade and back to Family Video that Billy really saw how drained the other Bambi in his life really was. Upon dropping Max back at their house, Steve was unceremoniously pulled through the front door as well and tugged into the kitchen, pinned by a glare so strong he thought Billy might bite him if he moved.
“Max, lunch!” Billy called through to his sister, a monster of a sandwich on her plate with an apple and crisps. Her eyes widened upon seeing it but she chuckled when Billy shot her a look as if to say ‘you’re gonna eat that if its the last thing you do’.
She disappeared into her room which left Steve as the main attraction. The boy had been feeling a tinge of dizziness since he woke up and it seemed to only be getting worse the further into the day they got. He was trying to focus on a scratch on the countertop but it just kept spinning the longer he looked at it. 
“Steve?” 
The mentioned breathed heavily in short bursts, hands planted on the countertop as he tried to stop himself from swaying.
“Steve?”
Billy moved round until he was behind the other boy, hands out to brace Steve if he fell. Which he did, like a damn princess. 
Billy managed to hoist him onto his sofa and lifted his legs up. It only took a minute or so before Steve came back round but he was not met with a happy Hargrove.
“Uhhh hi.”
“You are not leaving this couch until I say so.”
‘Until he said so’ was three days later when Steve thought he might actually have to kill Billy with his nailed bat in order to escape the Hargrove house. He felt full constantly and was barely allowed to lift a finger unless it was to spot Billy during his workouts.
“You know, I am more than capable of feeding myself, I don’t need to be your hostage any longer.” Steve brought it up on the sunny afternoon of his third day, Billy shovelling anything sweet into his mouth as they watched The A-Team together. He shrugged and lifted another handful of M&M’s.
“So leave then.”
“That is exactly what I have been trying to do for the last three days, you won’t let me!”
“Hi Munchkin.”
El waved from the kitchen before coming over into the living room.
“You hungry?” Billy asked, sitting up to be eye level with her.
El nodded.
“You want a snack?”
She nodded again.
“Here you go, take these and share them with Max okay?” Billy handed over the rest of his M&M’s and smiled at El and she scurried off again, returning his full attention back to Steve. 
The blonde pulled Steve to lie back straight on the couch and climbed on top of him, the brunette definitely being able to feel the extra weight Billy had put on.
“You won’t leave Stevie, cause you like it too much. You like the coddling and the feeding and being taken of.”
Steve spluttered indignantly as his cheeks flamed red.
“It’s okay Bambi. I don’t mind-” Billy paused to lie down all the way ontop of Steve until their noses almost touched- “In fact, I like it. I like knowing you aren’t alone in that big house all day, I like seeing that you’re taking care of yourself, I like taking care of you.”
Steve’s eyes glistened with unshed tears in the afternoon sun. He sniffled before replying with a croaky “Really?”
“Mmhmm.” Billy leant that extra bit forward and rubbed their noses together. “You gonna let me?” 
“Okay.” 
Billy awarded Steve one of his rare genuine smiles and tilted forward to kiss the brunette, much to the chargrin of themselves when the girls came out to ask about dinner and started squealing and screaming at their disgusting brother spreading his saliva around the communal area.
It was mostly Max and El just followed along not really knowing what was going on.
Billy knew this.
Billy now had to stop kissing his Stevie to chase Max around the house and fake wrestle her to the ground.
El decided to join.
Steve was laughing the whole time instead of helping his boyfriend being pinned down by his sisters. 
Billy will have his revenge.

It feels less like there was one right answer to the encounter and more like the party was too scattered to come up with a singular answer. Chetney did incredibly well in the damage department, but he was mainly the sole one focused on damage. A lot of spells were used that didn’t move BH forward in escaping or fighting, which gave them more time to eat shit. Matt focused on a specific part of Otahan that yelled “this is something you can hit to make the fight easier” but again everyone was too scattered to do anything about it.
Otahan feels like a difficult encounter designed for the 7v1 aspect of the encounter, but Bell’s Hells were too fragmented and that ultimately fucked them in the end.
This is where there's also no talking around it: if the party is that scattered and two of them die and there's something ? You call a time out. You stop the game and call a time out and let people regroup. If this were live, I'd kind of understand not doing it, but live to tape? You call a time out. This is a sign that your players do not know what you want from them. It's a sign that your communication wasn't good. I mean, I know players famously will ignore Obvious Plot Hook in favor of Weird Goblin In Corner but on some level I fundamentally believe this means you need to either tell them going in "hey, this is what I'm trying to do", or make Weird Goblin In Corner the plot hook, because you are the DM and you can see the world and they can only see what you tell them. I'm not saying players can't be stupid, but on some level I believe DM-ing needs to be an exercise in assuming you are in the wrong.
Basically I think in trying to defend Matt people are kind of throwing the entire rest of the cast under the bus, so I'm going to say it outright: I don't think anyone in the cast made significant mistakes. I think they didn't have enough information going in, they saw how damaging this fight was, they were already pretty drained, and very understandably tried to either run or sacrifice themselves so others could run, and I'm struggling to think of what the other right answers were when running was failing, bargaining was failing, and Imogen offering up herself meant nothing until she failed a save.

post-bh, married royed, heavy angst
tw: lots of emotional abuse, alcoholism, cheating, ooc.
DISCLAIMER: THAT'S NOT HOW ABUSE WORKS! alas, I do love my happy endings, so for the sake of it, suspend your disbelief.
Fuhrer Mustang has a lot on his plate which results in him being more short-tempered and prone to snapping. He and Ed always had their arguments, but nowadays it's more of Roy just ripping into Ed for no reason to release some tension. Ed tries to take it in stride, but he has his limits, so their domestic and sexual life takes a hit.
Roy does a minor fuck up and lies about it out of habit (from work), and Ed buys it immediately because he trusts Roy with his life. Roy feels guilty, but still starts gaslighting Ed from time to time, and Ed always thinks that it's his fault and he just has his head in the clouds (or rather books).
Roy misses an important date but Ed tries to suck it up and not make a big deal about it. Roy remembers post-factum and is glad that Ed is being mature about it, unintentionally putting him down and implying his feelings aren't important. Roy also thinks to himself that he's glad he doesn't have to apologize for it because it's tedious for him. He doesn't realize it yet, but that's the turning point.
Roy starts making comments about how Ed should dress modestly, how Ed having social life makes him neglectful and how Ed really stopped caring as much as he did in the beginning. This makes Ed feel like a bad partner.
It comes to head when one night Roy snaps and hits Ed. Tomorrow is finally his day off and he wanted to do something romantic to make up for all the neglect towards Ed, but Ed has been telling him for months that he had something planned for this day with Al. Roy grabs his hands to stop Ed from leaving and then slaps him in the face. He stops and tries to apologize in his usual way by taking Edward to bed, but Ed's not having it. He's horrified at what became of his husband and says that he doesn't feel comfortable with them touching at all.
• Don't you fucking dare yell at me, Edward. Just who do you think are? You're nothing without your alchemy, nothing without your rank, nothing without me! I'm hurting you? How dare you?! Do you know how hard I work, day and night, to give you everything you need?! I sacrifice everything so you and this country are safe, and this is how you repay me?! What do you even do all day, sit around in my library, eat my food, waste my money and bitch about how life is hard for you?! I do everything for you and you have the nerve to call me selfish?! • Nooo, honey, that's my line. You're the selfish one! No matter what I do, you're ungrateful! Nothing is ever good enough for you! I'm running ragged, Ed, and you just keep demanding more and more! What did I ever do to deserve such treatment? Do you even care about me, or do you just stay with me for money and prestige? • Oh, you're tired? You're stressed?! By all accounts, go on, tell me how fucking hard it is to be a housewife, how bad you have it! Am I not to your satisfaction?! Should I give you more money?! More space?! Do you want to go out more, fuck around like a dumb, selfish whore you are?! Well, it's too bloody bad, isn't it! You're my dumb, selfish whore, you made a vow when you married me! You hear this Edward?! You're mine! You chose me, years ago, this is what you chose! This is all you get. Forever. • I mean, where would you even go? You think you could do better? I'm the bloody Fuhrer, I could have anyone, and who would even want you? Look at yourself, Edward, you're a mess! Out of shape already, from sitting on your ass all day? You call this presentable clothing? Admit it, no one but me is dumb enough to want you! Because I love you, Ed, and I won't ever lie to you, I want you to say it with me. I said, SAY IT WITH ME! You're nothing. No one wants you. I'm the only one who loves you. • Yes, that's good. That's a good boy, I'm so proud of you, come here. I'm sorry it's come to this, Ed, I know you have a temper, but you should really stop snapping at me. You know I love you, right? I love you, Ed. *cupping his face and putting their foreheads together* You're the most precious thing I've ever owned, the highest privilege. If I could spend the rest of my life holding you like this, I would. *Ed looks vaguely sick* • Come here, gorgeous. I know it hurts, I'm hurting too, but we can make it better. Let me make it all better, love.
• "NO!"
Roy storms off after leaving bruises on Ed's wrists and goes drinking. He spends the night with someone. In the morning he wakes up after having more than 2 hours of sleep a night for the first time in months and is horrified at what he'd done. He goes home, but Ed isn't there. All his things are however, so Roy stays home waiting.
• Instead of Ed, Gracia comes to pick up his clothes and a suitcase. Ed came to her crying last night and she's very disappointed in Roy ("do you think Maes ever treated me like that?") and insisted on helping. She passes on that Ed is going to Resembool to visit his family for a while. Roy wonders if she realized that he cheated - she absolutely did. But it's only right for him to confess and beg for forgiveness, so she keeps quiet. For now.
• Roy is stewing in guilt and self-loathing. He keeps comparing the Ed he fell in love with - the loud, bright and passionate young man - and the withdrawn, exhausted, quietly miserable creature he turned into and counts every mistake made. Every harsh word. Every backhanded compliment. Every little lie and betrayal, up until the very worst one.
• Riza quickly catches onto everything and is extremely displeased, which results in his work getting that much more miserable.
• After Ed makes it to Resembool, Al calls Roy. He's fucking livid. His brother has bruises and is a shadow of himself and what the bloody hell did you do, Mustang? Al knows how to make it hurt and he goes all out, telling how he was against this marriage all along, how precious his brother is and how much he loved Roy, how much he sacrificed for him and all the times he suffered in silence because he felt like he didn't deserve comfort for being such a bad husband. Roy recognizes phrases he used himself in Ed's negative self-talk. Al finishes by saying that he's never to meet Ed again and that as soon as his brother is well enough mentally they're sending him divorce papers.
• The papers never come, but Roy doesn't doubt they will.
• He comes back from work two months later to find the guest bedroom occupied. The door is locked and Roy tries to apologize through it, but Ed doesn't respond. Ed doesn't come out unless he knows Roy isn't home and he doesn't leave any notes or acknowledges his husband in any way. After spending a week at Ed's door every evening (and leaving presents that went untouched unless they were hand-made), Roy falls asleep on the floor and has a blanket thrown at him.
• After that Roy catches a few glimpses of Ed. He comes home to all his bottles laying on the floor. He takes a hint and spends a few evenings cleaning up his messes. His reward is having a simple dinner ready by the time he comes home. Still no sigh of Ed.
• After that there's always food on the table and dishes waiting for him. Roy's notes start going missing, so Ed finally started reading them. Roy can hear Ed doing stuff downstairs on his days off and he rushes there, but Ed locks himself in the bathroom. After that Roy lets him do his thing unbothered. Sometimes there's even a grocery list.
• Roy's still leaving presents for Ed, but they also go unanswered. Another two weeks in he remembers something that Ed wanted in the very beginning of their relationship and gets it for him. At night he wakes up to Ed crying in the other room.
• Next morning Roy tries his luck again and the door is unlocked, but Ed is gone. Roy is afraid that he fucked up and scared him off, but all his things are there. All the presents are carefully put away and there's a mess of photographs of them scattered around - and a half-drunk bottle of wine (Ed is a lightweight). Roy cleans everything up and leaves him dinner in the evening. Ed went to Gracia for advice, because he thinks his Roy is still in there, but he's scared to confront him and find out. He cries again when he gets the food, because it's just to his tastes and Roy hasn't cooked for him in years.
• Next day when Roy comes back from work Ed is there making dinner. Roy tries to talk, but Ed gives him silent treatment and flinches when he tries to touch his hand. Ed looks exhausted and defeated, but he's still beautiful. They eat together, in silence. Ed doesn't even look at Roy.
• This goes on for another month. They can almost pretend everything is fine. Roy tries everything - gifts, notes, words, offerings, promises, begging. In the end he loses his temper and snaps, breaking a glass. Ed flees to his room. Roy spends the night by his door crying and apologizing. In the morning he's a mess, but he has to go to work. He begs Ed to come out just for a moment. When he drives away, defeated, he catches a glimpse of Ed watching out the window. Their eyes meet for the first time in four months.
• This night when he comes home there's no dinner. Ed is sitting at the kitchen table watching him. When Roy's back is turned (he's putting away groceries), Ed tells him where to put stuff. Roy whips around and is both delighted and terrified, because Ed finally spoke. And it's time for The Talk.
• "I'm sorry" • "I don't believe you"
• Gracia told Al Roy cheated, and Al can't hide stuff from Ed. After that Ed finally decided to go back to Central and clear everything up.
• Tell me what you did. I want to hear it. All of it.
• Do you know what it did to me? I hate myself. For loving you all these years. For trusting you. For not seeing your 'moods' for what they were, a pattern. For failing you - letting you spiral like this. For not being there when you needed me. For not realizing how much you must have suffered to start doing this to me. I hate myself for being stupid, blind and too weak to either help you or let you go. I'm pathetic, really. You were right about one thing: I'm your stupid whore and I can't escape it.
• Every time I look in a mirror I see a mess. A failure. You broke something in me, and I don't think I'll ever know how to fix it.
• And, you know what the worst part is? I love you, Mustang. I still do, so fucking much. And I hate it. I can't stop, but I can't make this right either. You hurt me, you've been hurting me for months, using me to get you your sick satisfaction. And I let you, all this time, because I thought you needed it, and that afterwards things would go back to how they used to be. But they didn't. Things have changed, you've changed, and you're not the man I fell in love with. You're not my Bastard Colonel anymore, you're the asshole that threw a mug at the wall because the dinner wasn't hot when you came home late from work. You hurt me and made me think it was my fault for not being enough. And maybe it was, partly, but I didn't deserve it. You were horrible to me and I was trying so hard to help you. Because I loved you and I still do. Because I would tear my fucking heart out with my bare hands if it would somehow make you Roy again. Even if it means I won't ever get to be a part of your life again. I love you, and you hurt me, and I'm so bloody tired of carrying us both. I'm not Fullmetal anymore, Mustang. I'm just a human and I can't do this alone. I can't take it.
• I'm not Riza. I can't shoot you when you become a monster. I can't even hit you back.
• "I'm so, so sorry. I lost control-" • Don't give me that crap, Mustang. Shitting your pants is a loss of control. Lying to me was a choice. Calling me names was a choice. Isolating me from my family was a choice. You chose to hurt me. Can you at least admit that?
• They both go to therapy.
• They coexist peacefully, sleep in separate rooms and cautiously try to get to know each other again. Winry goes into labor and Ed insists Roy tag along with him. Al breaks his nose and doesn't let him anywhere near the baby. Ed says that he may have deserved it, but the violence doesn't make Al any better. Al almost shouts at Ed for implying he'd ever hurt his family, but stops. Ed hugs him and says that while he loves and appreciates Al's help, he needs to deal with Roy himself, because he's capable of protecting himself.
• In the end Ed calls Mustang Roy again and kisses him on the cheek. Roy feels like crying.
• Thank you, Ed. Thank you for trusting me. You're stronger and braver than I could ever hope to be and I love you so much.
• Ed wipes his tears away and Roy gently grabs his wrists. Ed doesn't flinch. Roy starts kissing his hands.
• "I love you" "I know" "Ed!" *laughter* "I love you too, you stupid bastard."

actually, the first clip of fma 03 i ever saw was al yelling at ed at the hospital roof. i don’t remember how i arrived there - i think i was looking for the fmab version instead, but then i found the 03 one and i was curious. (unfortunately i think the original video was deleted because i can’t find it anywhere ;-;)
and... honestly? even before i knew anything about fma 03, i already thought the scene was waaaay better than how brotherhood handled it. mainly because of the brotherly angst and drama i felt was lacking in bh. a lot of comments on the video disagreed with me, claiming bh actually had the brothers talk it out, but i think they commented it without seeing more context of fma 03 - because ed and al do reconcile in the following episode, and it’s far more emotional than fmab’s version.
i rewatched the brotherhood scene and it’s just... so bad. it comes out of nowhere. it’s not at all subtle. it’s not respectful to alphonse, who has every right to be angry and sad at his own situation.
fma 03 really handles the emotional beats a lot better.

❔ yeah i know we usually just yell at each other when we have an idea anyway but who am i to just scroll past this (also do this for luther too thanks ily)
send ❔ and i’ll list a couple muses that i’d like to throw at yours! / always accepting
@doomdays
i know you and tiff have Emori & Hanna, which ofc just makes me think of Emori & Spencer. also Emori & Jesper make sense to me. something...something is there. i can feel it i just can't put my mind on it. yes it has the finding a family vibes of it but also just VIBES. jesper being really smart but needing a thrill. burying his powers for his entire life. idk...something something!
I told you when we first did this Viktor & Logan was something I agreed with 100%. their powers. the way they could potentially mirror. but also ! Viktor & Lydia. that imagery of viktor and the violin / the way lydia uses her banshee screams... not knowing how to control it.. i think there is so much there. Viktor & Alina. having your powers repressed your entire lives only for it to come out and be used in ways outside of your control. the isolation. the loneliness.
lydia & ryan. could be in t/wd or some sort of supernatural thing like we were talking about .. could be in bh or something else. also hope. in legacies. i have no idea how they could ever work but lydia & hope d/iyoza would also be a lot.
Leo & Zoe oh... her father is Awful. she has a good mom but oh boy he is Awful and he has her so tightly wrapped that she ends up turning in her sister for breaking The Rules (of their lives). i'll know more about this world in a minute. but zoe is part of a secret organization meant to keep the supernatural safe and hidden from humans. she 100% believes that they are evil creatures of the night, in part because of the indoctrination process that they go through. she's very smart, very talented, could easily be working under him in some capacity ( so also could work with hope & iris ). other kids for leo to adopt: logan, ryan, thea. in turn, all of them also with hope & iris. i also know in my bones that claire, june, and eden works here too. june and hope both have that gifted kid syndrome. eden is also a genius little engineer that was experimented on and turned into a bio weapon ( eden & emori, thanks).
Jaymee & Vanessa. oh yeah. vanessa who bounced around foster homes and jaymee who was taken from hers. also powers. i can 100% see vanessa in a t/ua verse where she is ALSO a crime fighting superhero type.
some of the ones that we just mentioned quickly recently that i want to get down: ryan & mason/hayden (duh), maggie & spencer/layla, tai & spencer,
@moonexile
Jemma. I think i've said this before but she was trapped on a different planet once. she understands that isolation and needing to adjust. i know we also talked about her & sloane and how that would work in this world so.. yes. i maintain.
Sonya. making poor decisions that felt like the only option that you have to atone for and do your best to grow and learn from.
Theo R. maybe post season 2 au where luther is trying to figure his life out. i think they could also understand each other and the decisions that you make that can end up getting people killed. idk!
Jacinda. I don't really know this is just a. they'd be neat. vibe thing I think. she just cares about her kid and doing right by her which can make her compromise some of her morals and stances, especially where her stepmother is concerned. i think they'd be interesting even if i have no thoughts.

I worked in PR but not in SK/K-pop adjacent areas so there may be nuances I don't know. But here are my thoughts for what they are worth.
My sense is, like you and anon said, if he knew, he wouldn't be taking the selfies in/showing his apartment.
The response isn't out of the possibility of PR. Because he picked/answered a question that doesn't mention the video directly, therefore he can feign ignorance. And one of the agreed upon facts of the video is that it's old; he is responding in the present tense. Therefore, not a lie, not directly addressing the video and giving fans the reassurance they are looked for. But that takes a lot of foresight and prep work that feels out of character to BH and JK. They would have more likely recommended/told him to ignore the comments entirely.
But that still doesn't explain the selfies...I saw someone say he was taking the selfies to send a message that he isn't fazed. That doesn't make sense to me at all. A message to who? And why? It also seems completely out of character since he has expressed discomfort at being stalked and sent food. I can't see him being this nonchalant about video footage.
If they haven't briefed him on the video, they haven't done PR prep with him for it either and so his responses are his reactions. Which makes sense, because it does sound like him. I can't see any other member saying something similar, in wording or tone. JK has building his fanfic bf image for a minute as he parasocials with the best of them.
There is also the question of why they haven't briefed him. I haven't followed the analyses so I don't have an opinion on real/fake. Not briefing him would seem to point more towards fake but, but PR is more about perception than truth and it's still circulating online during his many planned chats/lives. If it's real, then no idea why they wouldn't unless this is how they see fit to "manage" him.
Sorry if all this is obvious or already discussed.
No, no, thank you for your input. I listened to that part and it sounded like he was amused, not apologetic or intense as the text of the translation.(Well, that's my opinion lol, Idk the language, I don't want to get yelled at again for assuming things.)
He did mention he's saying that because he saw comments. Again, Idk the volume of comments, maybe he was getting spammed? He hasn't had problems ignoring comments before (I'm told he ignores tkkrs all the time lol) so don't know what possessed him to respond.
I frankly don't think he's that good of an actor for this whole non-chalant thing. Last time he disappeared off of social media. It's also just very stupid to show "them" he's unfazed because they're just using the pictures to give themselves legitimacy.
This is just me, I don't think what he did puts anyone at ease because I think most people caught on to the tense of the statement like you pointed out (but again language-translation etc) I don't think he's winning the perception game. It could be BH not knowing what they're doing.

October of paperhat (inktober) 2021
Day 24 - hobbies together (watching HW movies 🧡)
Tumblr media
Hey there! Cutting it kinda close this time huh?
At least it's not as bad as day (17?) where it was after midnight, but hey let's not dwell, and ya' can't blame me because I was watching all the Halloween town movies for the first time like all day! (and it was sissy time again -3-") I started after the 1st movie though... Or was it earlier?
But then i cut the last movie short because i went to see DUNE and got mega rained on when i came in lol. Y'know- dune, that one movie based off a book or something and i basically starred at it almost the whole time, not actually knowing what was happening for two hours except death, spice, sand, hiarrcy, and more death- then pondering every moment of change in the music expecting a sand worm but it's just lots of yelling in demonic tones giving me heart attacks instead and also may or may not have triggered a drawing idea 😳... That's the one yep-
Also sorry if i overshare so much i usually do that if I'm not conversing with myself XD because you yourself always make the best company! ((plus i need to fill space lol-)) Pf anyway i should probably talk about the drawing itself huh? Since i have 7 minutes and all, Well...
This was not actually my original idea! Granted, it's very similar, but i DID take some inspiration from my time watching the HWT movies. (aka flug falling asleep sideways with a blanket =w=)
Tried catching the light well but eh-! I just love how bh stares at him like "ohp?" and considering they both think almost everything is corny, instead of curling up and watching some horror dramas- i made this! Welp, i have 3 mins now so i might as well be headin' out! Thanks for reading if you did-
Tomorrow i have mixed feelings about but I'll try my best!
bye byeeeee 💘
Tumblr media
Also tomorrow i have to officially start doing school stuff again pls save me 🙃

Right? I don’t care if it is an alternative universe, I still get a BH kiss so I win. It's hilarious how quick BAs are to switch the narrative because they were so excited by the prospect of betty 'wanting archie's children' when the trailer came out and fighting everyone that dared to say it was an AU - so now they want to go ‘it’s not real so it doesn’t matter' on us.
I will enjoy BH kissing with betty wearing that pretty wedding dress and cradling jughead’s face with her wedding ring on. They can enjoy whatever crumbs is going to be thrown at them at riverdale from 606, we know it won’t last. And to think that the kiss on 606 isn’t even the only scene we'll be getting because TV Latam teased that there will be some really special BH moments. I for once, going to enjoy it. Like I know they will enjoy their wedding AU.
pls enjoy this live shot of the b/as every time they decide that what they decide they're getting what they want and then don't but that's okay because what they're getting later has got to be better
Tumblr media
honestly we don't even have context for a lot of what's going on yet now or for the future, that they decided they know what's exactly happening based on their speculation (but ours is always wrong, right?) so they come in and act like they didn't talk about b/a engagements and rain kisses by 5x19 and betty already being pregnant in s5 for months to us while reminding us that archie and betty will happily engaged, getting married, and having babies in rivervale, a town that was not at all weird or off in any way. and all in 5 episodes!
and now they don't mention any of that outside of saying that a b/a happily ever after is imminent once they get back to riverdale (even tho the tbk is still a thing and they said that 'vale stuff would affect 'dale stuff but go off i guess).
but they really want us to not enjoy the bughead scenes because they're in an AU (but canon, right? per roberto? i feel like they yelled that at me for weeks).
we don't even know how rivervale and riverdale connect outside of knowing they're parallel towns? but i'm totally sure their speculation is going to be the only right one this time.
i'm just going to be out here enjoying content after so many hiatuses and too much misery porn.
