just gonna go ahead and say this in advance—

if Riz does indeed come out in junior year, and he says, “I’m ace” or “I’m asexual” when referring specifically to his lack of romantic attraction, aromantic people are allowed to be upset about it.

#because yes of course some people irl say ace to mean both bc that’s how they personally identify #but in fictional media the distinction is necessary. especially with how few canonically aromantic characters even exist in ANY mainstream/ #popular media. #I assure you I’m not invalidating anyone who is ace and they mean that to include lack of romantic attraction. #But to look at this from a MEDIA PERSPECTIVE its irresponsible to do this w/out clarification that they also know the word aromantic exists #because otherwise that’s just a conflation of asexual and aromantic without any nuance #and an erasure of aromantic people who are not asexual. #Plus—name a single fucking time a character in mainstream/popular media has said the word aromantic. #Because I can name several instances where they say asexual. But I can’t think of ONE where they say aro or aromantic. #(Maybe that Isaac kid does in season 2 of Heartstopper? But I haven’t seen it so I’m not 100% sure.) #anyways. #the way this fucking fandom—and ANY fandom with a canon aro character—discusses the aromantic spectrum #is blatantly just to remove their own personal guilt for shipping that character with other characters and erasing their orientation. #because yes aromanticism IS a spectrum!! But when people talk about fabriz and say ‘he can still be ace!’ (Which is aro erasure) or #‘he can still be aro!’ They never SHOW riz still being aro or having any kind of complex relationship with romance. #I’m angry and I’m allowed to be. #I get that a ship you liked may be hard to let go of or something #But I’d be much less mad if all the fabriz fans said ‘yeah I know Riz is aro in canon and he and Fabian would never get together. #I just like to imagine it sometimes in fiction/fanon!’ Then that would be a WHOLE different conversation #Because then they’d at least be acknowledging that riz doesn’t feel romance in canon. That fabriz is something that actively #Goes against the canon characterization of one of those characters—and that’s fine. Just fucking ACKNOWLEDGE IT. #But most of these people either WANT fabriz to be canon/believe it WILL BE canon #OR I guess feel uncomfortable confronting the fact that they ARE erasing riz’s aromanticism so they don’t even acknowledge it at all. #fhjy #fantasy high #d20 #dimension 20 #riz gukgak #aromantic riz gukgak #fhsy

Celia from the tunnels???

#I’m sure this means something I have no idea what though #also was that ever her real name? because I think she picked it not knowing her name after being trapped in a stranger domain #so I wonder if something happened to her in this universe making her name change or if Celia was in fact her original name #the magnus protocol #the magnus protocol spoilers #tmagp #tmagp spoilers

What made you choose the name Slinky for Slinky? Did you just like the vibes?

Just kidding haahaha lol ….. i don’t get those ….. totally ….. She just told me

#no way back is here #ok funny story i named her slinky like in the first second and then immediately was like FUUUUUCK. IS THAT EVEN A WORD #DID I JUST MAKE THAT UP . WHAT IF IT MEANS SOMETHING BAD #i forgot what slinky actually meant. so i immediately edited the post and changed her name to some random shit #I DONT EVEN REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS!!! but im sure a few people got to see it. like 1 or 2 #and then like a minute later i went No u know what slinky just fits too much i’m sure it’s fine

[dkniade]

If your username is different from your online name/alias, which one do you feel more of a connection to?

#I think I’d rather people call me Dusk than dkniade #since firstly. ‘dkniade’ is not really something that’s meant to be pronounced #and secondly. if I were to give it a pronounciation I’d say it’s pronounced ‘denied’ which feels a little edgy #and ironic #(call as in. refer to in text) #I was also thinking about the distinction between ‘Childe’/公子 and ‘Tartaglia’ #though. I’m not sure what those names mean to him as a character #dusk rambles #names #nicknames #poll #usernames #sociology

i think it’s………. interesting ig that kuukou’s clothes have been progressively getting darker

#vee queued to fill the void #see i wanna just brush it off lol like damn not everyone has colour symbolism like ramuda lol #but like hitoya has colour symbolism lmao #and sasara in a sense does as well from his mcd outfit being a solid colour to his subsequent fits having patterns now that he’s with rosho #like there’s too many instances where the clothes and colours symbolise something to just brush it off so 😠😤 #right so what could it mean lol #hhhhhhhhh maybe it’s kuukou’s tendency to help behind the shadows #his pre nb fit the one with the black sukajan i think would be comparable (kinda) and while it wasn’t covert #he did help ren and then was determined to take it to the grave #he helped jyushi in harmonious cooperation by making sure that bully didn’t sabotage the stage and said he was just a monk passing by #and this might be a little strange lol but kuukou in fantasy event chose to be a ninja which are shadow assassins #so this could be kuukou further going into the shadows to support #he’s becoming the void like his name suggests and i don’t mean that ironically lol #‘the void state between the end and the next beginning’ that kuukou’s name comes from is what i mean lol #and as the buddha is in all things and guides us all is what kuukou’s heading towards #maybe!!!!!! idk!!!!!!! i’m just trying to not get worried like usual lol!!!!!!!

worming out of awkward conversations l i k e

#accidentally partially traumadumped on my coworker earlier auaaaaaa im so sorry #literally all she asked was ‘are you gonna be spending cny with your father?’ and cue the rant (sadge) #i didn’t really have to tell her that the dude tried to burn our apartment down during a certain rampage #(said fire was extinguished by my then-11 year old bro with water from the sink though. good boi) #the topic was successfully changed after that yeayyyyyy #but. m a n n n n . cny is not a good time for me lmfaooooo #i swear i have at least one bad memory for all of the years that i’ve gone housevisiting for the season #like there was that time when i，as a kindergartner，was deemed to be the cause of breaking apart the family’s bonds #over a can of cola at a reunion dinner bc i cried when my evil aunt scolded me for daring to want a drink other than water #i think my father still blames me for that to this very day lmfaoooooo #g o d. manifesting my hopes and dreams for that prick to not contact me this year im begginggggg #he’s. like. the one person i hate more than myself. 3rd place on my hatelist is his father ofc. no clue who 4th place would be though… #hmmmmm ok i think that’s enough traumadumping for one cny season lmao #tune in next year as i once again wonder what tf the name of one of my cousins is #bc despite how bonkers that side of the family is… i’m sure that the dude’s parents weren’t deranged enough to name their son ‘colour’— #his name is seriously one of my greatest unsolved mysteries. i mean. he has siblings with names like dylan and vivian/valerie/vanessa(?) #and yet everyone calls him something that sounds like ‘colour’. #like damn did his parents decide to skip giving just one of their children a first name or something? guess i’ll never know

yall know anyone can do the knocking method right..like are yall forgetting queen mary where they had a 30 minute knocking conversation? or literally any time there’s a random knock in a haunted place? like just cause cody was doing it alone awhile ago doesnt mean they’re faking

#sam and colby #bc some skeptics are so annoying 😭 coming up with crazy ass scenarios to try and debunk how theyre doing it #like if youre just like. i personally don’t believe or you have to experience it tourself then whatever but.. #these fucking stubborn asses or people who are wcared cause their whole belief systens are collapsing.. #like why come up with random ways they coukd be faking instead of letting yourself believe? #they felt the knocks on the ground #how would anyone know where jaqueline was pointing? like even if they were looking at the cameras ir something #still doesnt explain them feeling it #literally no explanation you come up with explains hearing them walk in and out of the room #even if they did do research…they most likely would’ve found libby’s full name and said that. i’m not sure how easy it us to find that tbh #like even if it is extremely easy..zach? like you look up sam golbach and one pops up #same with colby. but zach and his last name..there’s probably multiple people with that name. so unless they knew beforehand that zach was #coming they probably did not have enough time to research to find this specific zach. #like some of the knocks being louder than others? #even if the timeline doesn’t add up or whatever..it doesn’t mean that theyre faking the whole thing #i literally dont know how they could be faking it. like maybe they get some details mixed up or not right but that doesn’t mean they’re #faking the whole thing #ok i’m done now lol #cody and satori

thinking about jason and dick. thinking about how when jason was robin, dick was too hurt and angry at bruce to really be there for jason as a mentor and older brother. thinking about how dick is with tim, how he very clearly wants to take him in as a younger brother and show him the ropes, and how he and jason could have gotten there, too, if they had more time to figure it out.

#text.tb #the thing is that jason isn’t that much of an influence over Tim’s Robin run as i think it’s often written to be #like Tim was just. doing his thing. jason only comes up a couple times. #there are more direct parallels and mentions of jason during Steph’s brief run as Robin — something I often think about — than tim’s #but even so. like. do you think dick has regrets. #there’s a sort of narrative here of. jason had to die in order for Tim to become Robin. sure. #but jason also had to die in order for dick to be okay with someone new taking up the mantle #and to take them under his wing (heh) #Jason’s death took with it the difficulties of being the first to take dick’s station away from him #so that when Tim came along. it was easier. #and I mean that also could have happened if Jason had grown up and they’d actually worked to mend fences and then someone new entered #thus creating a natural legacy of the mantle and the name #but really. the death was quicker. and this is comics. #anyway I don’t know what I’m getting at here I just think about dick and jason A Lot #they fascinate me but only with specific writers taking them on. as you might guess.

Mmmmmm what if Narry’s scarf adventure line is sentient like each one of those head it manifest is sentient and they are the little helper for Narry. If he’s in danger they go berserk

oh you mean like doc ock’s actual metal arms!

on some level this is kinda already semi-canon (fanon?) for my version of narry as it is—the scarf-line-thing (that i still don’t know how to label) can definitely move independently from his limbs, and i usually draw ‘em moving in response to whatever happens to him whenever they’re not draped over his arms because i think the aesthetic is cool and it helps take up empty space on the canvas.

the difference is that they don’t have actual emotional reactions to anything though since they’re not really sentient, just extensions of whatever it is he wants to do. so in theory if he was in danger and feeling particularly aggressive/skittish as a result, he could end up using them to lash out and protect himself. or to grab a cup of… tea? coffee? whatever it is he drinks. maybe he drinks the steeped conceptualization of the color blue. vaguely eldritch creatures are weird like that.

#ney’s chatter (ask answers) #i can definitely see the appeal of fully-sentient shawl-arm-things though #i mean that’s basically exactly how doc ock’s arms work and i think those are metal as hell (forgive the pun lmao) #i know he named them (?) or something #it’s been a while so i’m not sure #but yeah they’re probably not as sentient as that. it’s just the adventure line except it’s doing what narry expects for once! #… which is ironically a good argument for sentience actually. but shhh #it’s fun to infodump/brainstorm about this though #this is what happens when you rewatch one (one and a half?) spiderman movies out of nostalgia btw

There always seems to be one kid who just screams like a tornado siren, all day long, at any given opportunity. Like, kid, I love you, you are precious and deserve all the happiness in the world; but please for the love of god shut up. There are people trying to learn here and you’re not helping them or yourself.

#I don’t like being harsh with people in general but if one child is raising the tension in the room to a fever pitch every single day #making it incredibly hard for the kids who are trying really really hard to focus when they already have focus issues #and because I know this specific kid gets absolutely spoiled rotten at home and is allowed to do whatever they want #you know… sometimes it helps to show the kid how they sound to others by demonstrating the obnoxious nature of The Scream #because when the parents do Jack Shit about teaching their kid discipline and courtesy; you have to be a parent in their stead #But do NOT continue to scream. You are an adult with adequate emotional control. Screaming should be be done EXTREMELY sparingly #and only utilized for demonstration purposes or to stop a brawl; not for bullying or intimidation #Don’t do a JoJo Siwa and TRY to make kids cry even though you may get stressed enough that you want to escalate on purpose #Again: you are an adult with adequate emotional control; don’t escalate unless the overreaching plan is to deescalate #if eliciting a startle response will stop harmful behavior and “snap them out of it” for long enough for you to get through #or if they just need to let all their emotions out at once so they can lose enough of that high energy to think critically #then sure #but you have to guide them back down very carefully and calmly; it’s a precise science #Don’t be mean about it; be genuine in your feelings and don’t go overboard. Genuine ≠ mean unless you’re evil #Or if you don’t feel emotions very strongly (like I do) then react like a “normal” person. Lie about being angry or sad if it is appropriat #Again: Your goal should not be to get the kid to do what you want; the goal should be to get them to feel good enough #so they are ABLE to do it in the first place #And the goal should also be to show them how their actions affect others if they are not aware of it #“Teach a man to fish” and all that. Don’t always check them; get them to check themselves #If a kid hits another kid when they’re angry at something completely unrelated; then 1.) redirect destructive behavior #and 2.) walk them back over to the kid they hurt and say: #“Look at [name]; look how sad you made them. [name] didn’t do anything to you #It’s okay to be angry but we CANNOT hit people when we are angry because it hurts and makes them cry.” Works great #Always remember there is a power imbalance inherent in EVERY child-adult relationship and NEVER abuse it #And if you’re not patient or emotionally stable enough to work with or have children; then don’t. Please don’t. #Children are not cute little dolls to play dress-up with; nor are they perfect angels; nor are they your personal stress ball #Having children is NOT A GAME. They are PEOPLE who will grow to be your age one day and everything you do affects them #Sorry I’m just tired of all these parents who shove iPads in their kids faces so they don’t bother them. You’re giving them an addiction

Thredup is a great site for if you care only about what brand your clothes are and not about any of their features

#all of the search and categorizing options are so terrible #I mean the options are fine. it would be nice if selecting them meant you were shown clothing that matched them #also. you say on the site that sizing is wildly inconsistent between brands (we know) #you also provide (some) measurements for most items #why are you using tag size to sort things. you could use the measurements #‘my size’ is a basically useless filter because you want to put in the full range of sizes that might fit you in some brands #(since there’s not one size that fits you in all or even most brands) #but then 98% of results when you actually click on something cute are not your measurements anyway #because that size in that particular brand doesn’t fit #also why do you use only chest measurements for dresses. where is the waist measurement. #those are different things and there’s not a consistent ratio between them you can’t skip one #same with skirts having waist but not hip #although usually I’m looking for (and not finding because again filters don’t work) for styles where the hip measurement is irrelevant #you sure can search and sort by brand though! #thank god nobody cares about the style and fit and characteristics of their clothing and only the name on the inside #mine #tangent in the tags #not really though it’s all very much on the same topic lol #I got bored with poshmark browsing last time so I decided to switch it up #you would think a site where everything runs through it would standardize their stuff better but no it’s somehow worse #than the site with a thousand random people doing different things #thredup #thrifting

mutt taking the name daniel in instances where he needs a “Real” name, but still wanting to be referred to as mutt because, despite everything, that is his name! means a lot to me. (and now he’s got to experience the Full Name Card – or at least the [admonishing/warning] Daniel card – being pulled on him for the first time at some point. have fun with that, scamp.) the Very Implications behind him choosing and having that name in the first place generally means he’s been in a stable environment for quite some time → now has papers and Exists To The System → which he has mixed emotions about but that’s a different story and one you can all probably guess why anyway

#im sure he has taken many many aliases and well. #more often than not. people don’t even use a name they just get his attention by saying hey you or kid or something more vulgar and mean #‘i’m sure’ I KNOW he has but like it is so much easier to say mutt because #1) its his name 2) who is going to go out and look for a boy named mutt #something something he was definitely fucking with u man thats not his name you’ll never find him now #names hold lots of weight here folks and not just his own #cue up danny boy (whichever version you prefer) and daniel (elton john) 🫶🏻 #hc.

Weird midnight meta thought for my tma avatars au but Ezio being symbolically tied with masks even outside of the game like

Feigning to be something grander or other to try to make sense if his purpose in life, (these feelings probably intensifying after the meeting with Minerva n finding out he’s just a vessel for Desmond— weird imposter syndrome possibility there)

And how the franchise/Ubisoft kinda forgets that he’s just one piece of the puzzle n makes him the main dominating face of the franchise

And how his fun-loving playboy thing is kinda hard to get over (strong first impressions) but becomes secondary after his journey as an assassin kicks in and it takes a grimmer tone and he changes his initiative skills to adapt to that and do whatever it takes to keep his remaining family safe

Idk where im going w this but. Mask imagery is potentially there? There’s smth performative about how he’s the face of the franchise but the actual core of him is overlooked by the company

Idk im just rambling

#ac tma au #assassins creed #rando analysis that doesn’t have to pertain to the au either #I think I can hullshit something better when I’m more awake #Is this more post hoc justification for assigning Ezio stranger beyond Venetian mask imagery #I sure hope so #holy fuck it’s in the name !! stranger as in you don’t know the guy rly #I mean when I first got into ac I sure didn’t #I just thought he was a dumb flirt at first and yea he’s kinda himbo in some ways but #there’s more to him than given credit for
