#HOW THE TURNS HAVE TABLED

[thehmn]

My whole adult life I’ve had to listen to my dear mother defend bosses who deprioritize employees who doesn’t have children or partners because “It’s more important that they get to have holidays/vacations/free time together so childless singles will just have to move over and be grateful for the scraps” but oh ho ho how the turns have tabled now that she’s a senior with no husband and no stay-at-home children and suddenly she’s the one who has to put up with shitty hours. Like she told her boss “I might not have any family at home but I still have a family! And friends! I have a life outside of work even if it isn’t in my house! I want to be able to see them too!”

Don’t we all. Don’t we all, oh dear mother.

But for real, if you have that attitude now, remember some day you’ll be the childless single again. It has to be a give and take where sometimes you get your way but other times you have to make sacrifices. Heck, once I got into a fight with a coworker who had a child because I couldn’t take her shift because I had to look after a family member’s children. Apparently she couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that just because I didn’t have children of my own that didn’t mean I was free to do whatever. I don’t know anyone my age who have zero responsibilities outside of work so while I fully understand that people have to be able to pick up their children after school or kindergarten it’s naive to assume childless or partnerless people just party after work as if they were still in their early 20’s.

(Also, I’m going to judge the hell out of you and especially your partner if I find out your partner could have picked your kids up but made it your job. I once found out a coworker could never take the morning shift because she made her perfectly capable partner’s lunch every morning and you better believe I stopped being nice about it)

Sks: Ugh sorikus want Kairi out of the way for their ship how delusional of them

Also sks: Riku should've died in kh3 and Riku should fail in kh4 so Kairi can come in and save Sora so they can have their happily ever after

#kingdom hearts #kh rant #how the turns have tabled #i'm the oprah shrugging gif rn #it's so funny to me how they accuse us of wanting kairi out of the way for soriku when it's not our fault she gets kicked out of the story #and then they turn around and say riku should die so kairi can save sora and they can kiss and shit #like do you realize that you're saying the EXACT same thing you're accusing us of saying? #you're trying to word it differently but we know what you mean #people don't like that riku's still important and they show this by saying he should fail his mission #and when they suggest kairi save sora they conveniently leave out riku's whereabouts #like homie you're not subtle lol #anyway can't wait for sora and riku to make out in 4k hd graphics it's gonna be great

[hellou-i-guess]

Hello, hello

Welcome to what is probably going to become a series of rants about the very unimportant details of books that live rent free in my head

Today I present to you:

The older brother of a least mentioned side character in a (unfortunately) very unapreciated sci-fi ya book

Now that that introduction is out of the way I have thoughts about Daniel Batu Wing from Warcross.

And I was not kidding about the character introduction. Warcross has a fandom with like 4 people in it in total, which is tragic in my opinion. Asher is a side character, the captain of the team and out of all of the friends Emika makes during the events of the book the one mentioned the least. So, now imagine how much his brother is mentioned.

I'll tell you - it's about 1.5 pages and 2 by-the-way mentions in around 600 pages of the duology.

So what are the things we know about Daniel:

He's Asher's older brother (if I had to guess maybe like 2-3 year age gap)

He's a famous actor and stuntman

He comes off arogant in Asher's memory when he is touched by Zero

He's Day's ancestor, so at some point he was married/had a girlfriend/one night stand - procreated so to say

And... that's about it really

So not much as you can see.

Now, what I have thought about reading the book and what led to this post is Asher (as a character I wish had more developement) and in turn his relationship with Daniel and that somehow led to a very badly done psycho analysis.

On to the bussiness.

The first time we see Daniel mentioned is when Emika meets Asher. She says that he is famous and that Asher was originally known as his younger brother and Ash gets a brief cold look at the mention of his brother.

The second time is when the dorm is blown up and Hamilton mentions that Asher's parents and brother are there to see him.

The third time is the memory in which we find out maybe the root of the problem between the brothers.

I would like to present to you my personal headcanons for the ages of Daniel and Asher. I like to think that Asher in the series is 22-23. Which would make Daniel somwhere around 25. I may explain my way of thinking this later, this is already long and I have told you nothing that you did not already know.

Why are the ages important, you may ask? The memory. Since Emika places the memory some 8-9 years, before the events of the series. The boys would be around 14 and 16.

From what we know their parents are getting a divorce and their house is a mess as well as the relationships in their family.

Daniel's way of dealing with this? Absolutely ignoring the situation around him. For what I understand to be a significant amount of time - a couple of years would do the trick.

So he sees what is happening and ignores his feelings and thoughts about the matter.

Why? Simple - he's neglected and feels alienated from his family so he alienates them back.

One another headcanon I would like to mention, that sort of makes Daniel's attitude and things he says make sense, is that Asher lost the use of his legs in an accident some time before their parents divorce.

This, understandably, makes the parents dote on Ash and in turn neglect Daniel.

And I say this because to me at least it seems that Ash does not understand that Daniel does not want him around and sees Ash as a problem. Most likely due to some change in dynamic Asher is not aware of. Which is perfectly understandable because why would his relationship with his brother change?

We see some evidence for this in:

Asher: Where are you going?

Daniel:...

Asher: You know what? You don't have to tell me? I don't have to know every single thing about your life, when you clearly don't care for me.

Daniel *sarcastically*: You only need me to care. Don't you have enough people giving you attention already?

Or something along those lines, I have the translated copy.

He sound so bitter and jelous there.

And Asher ( who is not good at dealing with people, like at all (also a post for another time)) calls out on Daniel's coping mechanism (ignoring the divorce). In which part I understand given the next part of the conversation where Daniel tells Ash that he isn't doing much better and Ash, not at all reading the situation or understanding that Daniel also means ignoring the divorce, says that Daniel is not doing much better, but at least his victories are the reason they have food on the table.

First of all, some A+ parenting, right there.

Second of all, Dany straight up goes for Asher's throat after this and that entire conversation causes a rift between them.

Very fun on all sides, as you can see.

What's fun to point out is that Daniel acts like a threatened animal. He was ready for jumping at his attacker the first available moment from the moment Asher refused to put the matter to rest.

We see this from Ash's POV, but how would it look like to Daniel?

He has a small career, that he's very proud of

He's starved for attention from the people he needs it from the most in his teenage years

The only attention he gets grom family comes from the very reason he is neglected (not to say Asher is at fault here, because he is not. Daniel just seems to place the fault on him)

All of the family's finance and well being is put on the shoulders of the youngest member of the family who is disabled

Like, he, as most older siblings (it's a curse), feels the need to, in some capacity, provide something to the houshold when the parents clearly don't, but he only continues to ignore the situation at hand.

If their parents have not gotten a divorce, Dany would have probably ran away from home a mnd cut all contact.

And like all things that are ignored, the sitation at hand comes to bite him in the butt in the form of Asher (the aformentioned problem) who just keeps on pressing the sore spot until Daniel has to options - run away again and keep the cycle going or bit back and get rid of the problem. And bite he does.

To his credit, Daniel was most likely 16 at the time of this and none of us emotionally mature at that age, he delt with his emotion really badly, took it out on the wrong person and soured his relationship with his family.

They have most likely made up (I do not think that the cold look Ash had at the mention of Daniel was because the had bad blood, but rather that Emika put him again in the back of his brother's shadow when Ash worked hard to get out of it). Why do I think this? You don't fly half-way across the planet to check on someone you don't like/don't speak with/have bad blood with, when if he wanted to come across as caring he would have called or texted. Or ask third party who knows what happend and has seen Ash like Roshan, Hamilton or their parents.

So yeah, to sum up this way too long of a rant in which nothing was said, Dany was just a teenager in a horrible situation with which he delt badly.

And to those who have suffered through this, thank you :)

One of my favorite whump tropes for vampire whumpees is Oh No I'm Hurt and Not Healing Because I Need Blood and There's None Except My Human Friend/Lover/Caregiver. And they SWORE they'd never hurt them or take blood from them and their caregiver is begging them to drink because they're in danger and I Want to Help You. Then the vampire whumpee gives in and is consumed with guilt over it. They're healed and their human wasn't hurt too bad but they feel like a MONSTER. And human is just, I'd Do It a Thousand Times to Keep You Safe.

#*chef's fucking kiss* #vampire whumpee #tw blood drinking #I want you to hurt me to help you and it's SO GOOD #there's an intimacy to it #then the vampire whumpee is hovering around the human like oh God oh God don't faint please sit down have some juice #how the turns have tabled #and I know it's not for everyone but that little something extra when the biting and drinking #Doesn't Feel Bad Actually #👀😏 #and later the human is like #heeeyyyy remember that one time?

My favourite headcannon about Logan Kellerman is that he's a fucking shapeshifter. He has blonde hair and freckles and blue eyes on tuesday, wednesday he walks into school a dark eyed brunette without a freckle in sight, but there is a mole on his cheek that DEFINITELY wasn't there yesterday. His appearance is constantly in motion, ever changing. Back at home he's got a walk in closet the size of a small country with enough hair dye to kill a horse, so much make up, different coloured eye contacts, wigs, and every accesory known to man. That's not to mention the clothes, which he has every fashion style of.

Nobody but his own mother knows what he REALLY looks like, and even she forgets sometimes.

#he can be anyone #he cannot nail himself to one role #he has to be able to shapeshift or else he will die #he is the epitome of never wearing the same outfit twice #the other swindlers can tell spot him crowds and stuff #but it is a struggle sometimes #logan kellerman #swindle gordon korman #swindle series #swindle #swindle series gordon korman #swindle series gk #woah nina posting headcannons #how the turns have tabled #swindle gk

I started this series as a die hard, they can do no wrong, SandRay shipper and now every episode I’m just wishing Sand and Nick will come to their senses and realize that they’re perfect for each other.

How the mighty have

stop saying "they have fallen" No. They have not "fallen" -- these men have been exposed.

They have been unmasked, uncovered, explained.

But they haven't "fallen" because they never left the ground.
