"why don't you go and actually watch scorsese/de palma/some other 70s popular director just because they're white guys doesn't mean they can't make deep films how can you say you like cinema and film analysis with this mindset" well you see it's because i don't like them. hope this helps
#goncharov#jokes aside there are some 70s directors i havent seen at all or very little (like scorsese)#and there are some i have developed a pretty good idea of (like de palma)#and the reason i choose not to watch them is not because i dont know they exist or think they're problematic just bc theyre white guys#(+its really annoying when ppl act like de palma or godard or kubrick or polanski or whatever are unknown theyre as popular as it gets)#but it's true i don't think their films are deep enough bc i have seen them and i dont think they understand what they're rly talking abt#i dont think they arent deep bc theyre white guys with big awards but i do think that is one of the reasons that their art doesnt get to me#and im not talking about their ability as a director when it comes to technical things like cinematography editing etc#i couldnt say anything bad about the prom queen scene of carrie by de palma#but i simply do not think de palma actually understands what carrie represents (nor does stephen king tbh)#and yes i think that is because he is a cis straight white guy who i also think is a weirdo just by looking at his directing choices#like im not saying he isnt deserving of the attention he got/gets bc he is a white guy#but i do think he isnt deserving of the attention he gets and he also happens to be a rich white guy#and like even if that wasnt the case i dont think it's an unreasonable thing to assume a rich white guy can understand teenage girl psyche#i wouldnt dismiss anyone based on their race gender level of nepotism etc#in fact despite the pure nepotism (with certain criticisms ofc) i love the work of the new gen coppolas (sofia is one of my all time favs)#im not judging anyone who likes de palma i dont give a shit but dont act like your taste is superior u sound like a 1800s cambridge brat#do you understand what im saying??? basically stop being annoying about goncharov we're trying to have fun

Hi!
I (24 nb) am having a serious issue with girls my age being quite misandric and using radfem rhetoric in their speech.
The issue is I understand their fear and mistrust of men in patriarchy and with many of them having horror stories to share about bad heterosexual relationships. But i am deeply uncomfortable with misandry and i don't know how to effectively point out that no it's not good feminism to hate on men.
Do you have any resources you could recommend me to build a good argument? I want to be prepared for this kind of discussion because it keeps happening more and more frequently.
I know it's not the main topic you cover on your blog but as it is closely related to transandrophobia I was hoping you (or your followers) could still give me some advice.
I wish you a wonderful day
My advice would be to start with talking about the negative impact of misandry on women first (although don't use the word misandry, at least at first). Starting off with "it hurts men" in any regard will likely not go over well, but if you first bring up the issue in relation to a group they already really care about, they'll be more likely to listen. Also, I would reaffirm that having trauma or bad associations with men isn't the problem, they aren't obligated to associate with men in ways that make them uncomfortable or exhausted, and that they have a right to feel their emotions, be angry, be annoyed, etc. Affirm that your concern is with how their actions and attitudes could be causing real harm to others, and that anger being valid does not mean you don't need to take responsibility for how you choose to act.
Some potential talking points:
When women are perceived as manly or masculine, they tend to get viewed with the worst traits of masculinity: butches and trans women are seen as aggressive, violent predators who prey on sweet, feminine straight/cis women. The patriarchy doesn't just hurt women through their femininity, but through their (real or perceived masculinity as well.
Even inside queer spaces, butches are expected to fulfill toxic masculinity: they are expected to be sexually dominant tops, not be emotionally or physically "weak," not do feminine things, etc. Butches can get ridiculed by others, even partners, for not fulfilling these things. Things like balding and small penises, that are traditionally seen as failures of masculinity in the patriarchy, are also made fun of in queer spaces; it seems like queer spaces have issues with how they deal with (real or perceived) masculinity.
When spaces make jokes about hating men, put a lot of emphasis on gatekeeping men, etc., it makes it a lot harder for trans women and nonbinary people assigned male feel safe. Some trans women & genderqueers might not realize their gender because they are kept out of spaces that could've helped them realize because of how queer & feminist spaces act regarding men. Butch trans women and genderqueers often face heightened scrutiny because of their masculinity, from both inside and outside their communities. (Also, send them this article.)
^ As a result of all of that, maybe we need to be more careful with how we think and talk about masculinity. It seems like we are reusing a lot of negative patriarchal stereotypes about men & masculinity in ways which hurt marginalized people the most.
From there, you can bring up marginalized men: you can talk about how trans men, multigender/nonbinary men, men of color, Jewish men, fat men, disabled men, etc. are negatively affected by negative patriarchal stereotypes about men & masculinity- I emphasis that because its how I would go about referring to "misandry" or "antimasculism" without actually using a word. Since misandry (and anything that sounds similar) is such a trigger word for many, its important to set the foundation that there is a big difference between the MRA concept of misandry, and the transunitist concept of misandry. Transunitist misandry focuses on how sexism & genderism* is used to target marginalized groups (specifically trans* people). Transunitist misandry does not say that misogyny doesn't exist, or that men are oppressed in the exact same way women are; its saying that the patriarchy (as a part of kyriarchy) uses gender and sex to harm not just marginalized women, but marginalized men too.
My goal with this would be to introduce and try to convince them of the idea that Misandry Is Harmful Maybe, and then once they realize how its harmful, bring up the idea that this kind of stuff needs to be named. Once they generally agree with these ideas, I think it will be much easier to help them understand why misandry is bad even beyond marginalized men: because the patriarchy relies on harmful ideas and expectations for men, even as (dominant/non-marginalized) men have a different place and more rewards; because liberationist feminism must be concerned with universal liberation, and that means it must be concerned with everyone's wellbeing and liberation; because we cannot disnantle the master's house with the master's tools, and letting any patriarchal thinking in poisons the well of your feminist praxis; because it just makes you a meaner and shittier person. In my experience people who think in the ways you described are resistant (not necessarily for bad reasons) to any kind of criticism towards sexism/genderism towards men, so my tactic would be starting with areas (like women) that they are concerned with not hurting and show how misandry hurts that group. Connecting the harm of this way of thinking to something they care about is going to make them more open to seeing it as an issue in general.
*I use "sexism" to describe the system of oppression based on physical sex, and "genderism" to describe the system of oppression based on gender identity/presentation/roles.

Sad reader/gender natural which i hope i wrote well/Undertaker x reader/Sebastian x reader/some fluff/just emotions that are beaing expressed in a strange way or is just me not knowing how to express my emotions/if this comes out weird pleas forgive me i am not good at telling people that i am sad/
Tumblr media
Today was just not one of your happy days.
Its like that no matter what you try to do,you just could not cheer your self up.
Even some happy music could not change it.
Some thing in the back of your head just keeps putting you on the edge.
You can seem to stop it and its irritating you very much.
You are usually in check with your emotions and you proud your self on that.
I mean if everybody knew that you would feeling sad that would draw attention to you and you really do not want that.
Especialy with Sebastian who would literally trap you in his embrace until you tell him whats wrong.
But today was different you just could control your self,you just wanted to cry nothing else.
Its not like anything was wrong you just felt empty thats all.
Sebastian would make a big deal out of it if he saw you sad,which you did not want.
So as soon as you heard the front door of you apartment open,you pulled your self together,came out of your room and faced him.
You were smiling,saying hello and how was his day,etc.
Sebastian sensed something was wrong,but for now just chose to ignore it.
His focuse was now on a children's coloring book at the table.
You paint when something is bothering you,but he does not know that.
,,Darling,why is there a childrens coloring book at your table?
,,Are not perhaps too old for that,or maybe i am am falling for a baby,hm?"
That was it even though you knew he was just joking something about that seem to upset you,but you just do not no why.
And in the middle of the kitchen you brust out crying and you can seem to stop.
Your breath is heavier and you just can not stop your self,you feel like passing out,but strong arms catch you.
Sebastian lifts you up carring you to the room.
Upon entering he sets you down on your bed and his kises seems to calm you down.
You can not look at him you turn to the other side of the bed.
zou can hear a deep sigh from him and a large weight pulling you.
He has hugged you and know you cry even more.
,,You know i sensed something is wrong from the moment i walked in,but i thought nothing of it choosing to talk to you about it later,but if my teasing about the colouring book made cry you have my deepest apology my dear."
You wipe your tears take a deep breath and try to gather some strength to speak to him.
,,Its not your fault i do not care if you made fun of me for the colouring book i just had a really tough day its not like anything happened its just...its like..there something but there is not...i just i do not know how to explain it you know and i did not want you to worry because its nothing its just that its something and thats something is nothing and it would be stupied of me to say hey i am upset,sad and on the average of bearking down beacuse of something,but that something is nothing."
,,Darling if you are upset,sad or on the average of breaking down you should tell me,you should trust me about your feelings,whatever it is i will help you even if it is nothing and never say that your feelings are a problem to me beacuse they are not your feelings make you human a and love you for them.I know that you try to be strong hold them in check but you must understand that you can not keep them in dark for long and repressed them they will come and when they do this will happen and i do not want to see this happen to you,so pleas whenever you feel like this do not be afraid to tell me,i will help you in any way i can."
,,Thank you i am glad and i am sorry,from now on i will try my best to tell you my fellings,but now could you just hold me i could really use a good cuddle."
,,Of course anything for you my dear."
Tumblr media
Some times your overthinking tendencies took better of you and to day was one of those days.
Working as a assistant to the undertaker was not a bad thing.I mean you were a nurse you know people die,but ever since your hospital put you on this part time job with him you just got hit with a realization of how people die every singel day.
Existential crises were not your style really and you try to avoid them as much as you can.
But it seems this one could not let you go.
So here you were in your bed in a spear room your boss made you just lying and looking at the celing questioning everything in your life.
As you were questioning your life away you did not heard a knock on your door and a tall dark figure approaching your bed and till you felt a heavy presence on the egde of you bed looking straight at you.
You set up next to him and he spoke.
,,Deary why are your eyes full of tears,are you crying for the life of the lost soul we just fixed,come now death is a natural thing it will come for you to you should laugh while you stil can,hihihihi."
Something about that just did sit rigth with you and you found your self slaping him,but his arm stoped you before it go to his cheek.
,,How can you say that does it not bother you that someday it will all just pass,how can you be so calm,there familys there loved ones,how can you say such things!"
,,I know that my dear,but still you have to realize that its just how it goes in life,pople die i know as a human its sad thinking about death,but if you worked as long as i have in this field of work you would get use to it.I am sorry if i have upset you but its just like that i know how you feel i also wish people would not die,but that is sipmle out of our power,you just have to come to terms with it."
,,I mean yes i get that,but stil."
,,Just know that death is a natural part of life,but remember that before you die do things that make you happy so that you never ever regret your life,okey?"
,,Yes,thank you for cheering me up i needed that,um i know its stupide but could you stay with me in bed for a while if its not too much of a problem?"
,,No of course not i will be happy to."

its kinda sad but you'r my reason to live 🫤
Shigaraki Being Comforting Headcannon
Tumblr media
———————————————————————————
Shigaraki//non gender specific reader. Detailed description of depression, implied suicidal ideations, mentions of alcohol, PLF arc.
You sat next to Shigaraki at the PLF’s upscale bar. He was alone, playing on his switch, just trying to pass the time while waiting for his injuries to heal and enjoy some peace and quiet.
You felt lonely too, and have looked up to your boss since you joined the league in the very beginning. Proud of how far he’s made it.. how far we’ve all made it.. but you can’t ignore the quiet depression lingering in the background of your mind. Even in moments of celebration, it’s there. It’s always there, following you like an unwanted entity, feeling as though it is forever attached to you.
Today was one of those days where the depression got louder. You could no longer bury it or push it away, it was demanding for you to feel its presence, to acknowledge it and face it. You felt heavy, empty, and alone, even though you were surrounded by people all the time, the feeling of worthlessness embodied your soul.
You were more quiet than usual, normally you talk a lot or at least smile at him and ask about his games, but not today. You just sat there staring at your drink as if you were looking through it. He couldn’t help but notice. “Either drink it or don’t, it’s creepy that you’re just sitting here like this”
Without looking away or moving, a tear falls down your face, changing his tone as one of his comrades is feeling pain. “Hey. Don’t just sit there and cry, tell me what’s wrong?”
You respond in a quiet and shaky voice, continuing to not move an inch, frozen in your tragic state, “it’s kinda sad but.. you’re my reason to live”
He doesn’t say anything.
Shigaraki just stares at you for a moment, his mouth slightly ajar as he is trying to choose his words carefully.
“Why does it have to be sad? I’d say that’s a great reason to exist” he grins.
You don’t react to his shitty joke. He then takes a sip of his drink and his voice becomes more serious.
“Look. That’s the reason I’m trying to change this rotten world. To destroy it. Will there by anything left after? Who knows really… but it’s better than living in a world full of pseudo-hero’s and all the dumbass people who worship the ground they walk on. The rejection felt from those around us will only grow stronger and more powerful each day until we do something about it. That’s why you’re here with the league right? Because you want to make a change too? So don’t do anything stupid to jeopardize that. You’re an important player in this game, you’ve survived this long with the issues you’ve had to face and deal with, what’s a little longer? Get angry, and fight back. I need you.”
Note from author:
It’s my first ever headcannon/short fic so I’m sorry if it’s bad or boring >.< I just wanted to spice up the ask responses a little bit if I can.

Hello!! Question about clone^2, what are the styles of Danny and Damian? Like day to day stuff for example. Does Danny buy Damian the traditional 8 yr old clothes (dinosaurs with sunglasses tees, stuff like that) or does Damian already have a style he likes? And Danny! I know that Sam gives Danny various punk hairstyles and that he prefers gender neutral stuff but outside of that what would Danny wear in general?
You don’t have to answer of course, but I’ll give you a thank you in advance!
- kindest regards, Gas Can
I LOVE GETTING ASKS NO WORRIES MY GUY. AS MY FAVORITE SAYING GOES 'THE QUICKEST WAY TO STARRY'S HEART IS THROUGH HER ASK BOX'.
And I love this question, this is a good one!! If damian's 8 then he's been around the fenton house for about a year or so. I can't see baby dames ever willingly wearing traditional child-like clothes, at least not in the beginning when he first arrives at the Fenton house. Which he'd be around 6-7.
Danny tells him (with the help of google translate) that he's going shopping to buy him new clothes sometime during Damian's early stay since the little man had been wearing the same clothes he arrived in for a while (which you can find here with the reblog of the colored version) and honestly he probably asks damian if he wants to come along to pick something out. he doesn't know the kid's style and it might be a bad idea because damian might make a run for it, but danny's caught him before at this point.
(plus he'll need help carrying bags - his hands are freshly injured and still smarting. they're not as bad as they will be in the future, but hand injuries hurt. consider it repayment for being the cause of it, damian)
And early Damian would choose clothes that remind him most of the league - so dark colors, more formal styles, think like how you'd imagine his original template to dress like, if you will. Danny is side-eyeing him in judgy bewilderment, but says nothing other than to complain about the price tag. Of which Damian has no idea what he's saying. He'd stick with those clothes until he has his little moment with Danny in the OPS Center where he finally tells him he's a clone (even though Danny already knows) and that he doesn't want to go back. After that he'd reluctantly and steadily start branching out.
So eight year old Damian, whose begun to chill out more and act more like a child his age would? I don't think he'd ever wear graphic t-shirts about kids shows, but I can see him wearing graphic tees of like, animal facts on it, animals, stars, etc etc, and then plain shirts in a variety of increasing color. I have this mental image that Danny buys Damian one of those joke shirts that says "bro I'm 8" / "this is what an awesome eight year old looks like" (with two thumbs pointing at itself) and Damian wears it to school a week later. Damian's variety of shirts increases the more comfortable he gets and the more he comes into his own identity.
Damian also, steadily, keeps stealing Danny's flannels even if they're almost comically large on him. They're comfy and he's embracing his role as baby brother (and also he really looks up to him because he understands, to an extent, of what danny's done for him). Danny and the Fentons start buying Damian his own after a while because, well, he can't keep taking Danny's.
And Danny! I'm so glad you mentioned Danny, my favorite GNC boy. I keep forgetting myself sometimes that I gave him long hair, even if it is my favorite thing about him. And honestly? Danny doesn't really do much with his hair if Sam isn't styling it. He usually lets it stay down on his head, and then pulls it back into a ponytail or a half-ponytail at school depending on what he's doing (gym vs a test).
He keeps it in a ponytail as phantom to keep it out of his face, and then when he's working on a Ghost Case he sometimes has it up in a (messy™) bun because the feeling of having his hair on his neck when its in a ponytail drives him nuts, especially when sleep deprived. Sam teaches him how to braid it back into a simple braid and its become a new fidget for him to braid his hair and then unbraid it. It's easier to keep off his face than a ponytail, so he sometimes braids it back when he's sneaking out as phantom. It happens more often once he gets skilled at it.
And danny's style! I know you probably only meant his hairstyle, but I also wanna talk about his aesthetic! He doesn't really put much into his appearance. Very teenager-y boy 'threw on the first thing i saw on a hanger/floor' type, but he kinda has a bit more of a casual, soft grungy-like look as an older teen. Just some hints of Sam's influence - and you know what, some of Tucker's as well because that's his best friend too.
(Off topic but 19yo Danny from my Childhood Friends Dead On Main au has a similar style that's a bit soft punk as well, and that is somewhat more intentional on CFAU Danny's part. Why make an au if I can't play dress up with my favorite character? :))
Mostly because I read a Spider-Man x DP fic that described Danny (from an outsider's pov) as looking kinda like a skater boy who listens to alt rock music and it's been my personal interpretation of him ever since. So he has band tees, flannels, graphic tees with jokes on them, shirts with astronomy facts on them, and idk if he'd ever buy ripped jeans but Sam has certainly bought him some and they fit so *shrugs* he wears them. And he has one or two of those denim jackets with the hoodie sewn inside it. And from Tucker he has a few turtlenecks because Tucker reads as a turtleneck-kinda guy, geek chic-ish.
#dpxdc#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc crossover#dpdc#clone^2#danny fenton is a clone#danny fenton is not the ghost king#damian wayne has a clone#the quickest way to starry's heart is through her ask box#its not a starry post unless its long#srsly tho i love getting asks even if i haven't answered them. so anyone who sends me an ask: i see them!! i love them!!! if i havent-#answered it its because I can't think of anything *to* say to it that i think would make a fulfilling ask. but i see it and i love it#unmentioned in the post but danny also has a few black croptops of the rave-variety from when he needs to pull what he likes to call a#'brucie wayne moment' and its my favorite part of the clone danny au bc youre gonna look me in the eye and say that there's a-#non-malicious TEENAGE bruce wayne clone running around and he DOESNT have a brucie wayne impression? brucie wayne is a#walking meme in of himself. absolutely a teenage clone of him would pretend to be him sometimes even if its a joke. he wouldnt get away wit#being bruce wayne considering the 30 year age gap BUT acting like him? he can do that AND make someone (or a dozen) swoon at the same time#danny has his identity crisis issues but that doesnt mean he can't have FUN with it. he shares a face with the biggest himbo alive yes he#will use that to his advantage when he's aware of it.#gas can anon#i love that signoff btw#brucie wayne is half the reason i made the clone danny au for a reason - the pure shenanigans of having his face#could potentially cause#like yeah he’s batman’s clone blah blah blah but BRUCIE WAYNE.

Happy Glorious 25th of May. Thank you for getting me into the discworld books (at least in an indirect way). They have quickly become one of my favorite series of books, even if I've only read a handful of them. As for a question, what have been your biggest takeaways or lessons from the discworld books? Whether it be how you write, how you engage with stories, or even how you look at the world.
we got another one lads
It's a little hard to boil it down! The books cover so much ground, and I read them at such a formative age it's hard to tease out how much of me is made from them.
On the most basic level, I love how angry those books are. Every POV protagonist is seething at unfairness and injustice and this is never framed as a bad thing - just something that needs to be controlled, directed, weaponized.
I like that everything is a joke, but in-universe everybody is absolutely sincere. The characters are charicatures and punchlines because of their sincerely-held beliefs and ideals. Captain Carrot is shiny and literal-minded and perfection personified and it's funny because he really is that good. Nanny Ogg is an outrageously horny and boisterous old woman and it's funny because she's having such a good time with it, especially when contrasted with her stern and serious foil Granny Weatherwax, and it's funny because the two of them know each other incredibly well and deal with each other's eccentricities with the practice of decades. The dwarves are funny because they're goofy little guys with big beards that think about nothing but gold and new songs to sing about gold, and as the books go on, the complexities of a culture that looks like that punchline become the deepest and most fascinating element of the worldbuilding in the entire Disc. The world is mounted on the back of four elephants and we made a book called the Fifth Elephant, how wacky, hey let's casually integrate the worldbuilding consequences of massive deposits of perfectly-crisped organic matter caused by the collision of a planet-sized elephant with a planet-sized planet. The discworld tells a joke and then commits to the consequences with its entire ass, and I love that.
A lot of the characters are in some way one-of-a-kind and unprecedented, or at least appear to be on the surface because nobody like them has even been publicly known, and the stories frequently explore how these unique people navigate their existence without a roadmap and trailblaze the way for the people just like them to someday follow. People who break rules by existing and make the world question what purpose those rules serve if they aren't actually unyielding principles of reality. The dwarf gender cultural revolution, the female wizard, the golem given a voice, the entire existence of Susan Sto Helit. It produces a world that feels like it's absolutely full of protagonists, like every story is one-of-a-kind and every individual person matters and has the right to choose the way they want to live, no matter what anyone else thinks. can't believe some terfs really think these books are for them as if they aren't precision-built to tell them to go fuck themselves
The cast full of protagonists makes the crossover events a delight. All these characters existing in the same universe means they can just run into each other sometimes, and they're all such absolute weirdos that their interactions never fail to be absolutely incredible. The world feels very thoroughly lived-in, to the point where the stories sometimes almost feel like they're telling themselves.
they're just really fuckin good ok

FSR Rambles 12 times Vaati got his ass kicked
Insanity, Vaati being pathetic.
What's new?
Tumblr media
Ooop. Zelda showing off how she'll kill you within 2 seconds of being in HER castle.
Link's letter was smth addressed earlier: He warned her with a letter he was going to pull the sword.
Which implies a certain amount of impersonal-ness to the action. He didn't want her talking him out of it lmfao. He was already struggling with defying Vio's persistence so it makes sense he didn't want Zelda to try and logic his ass either.
Her outfit being the sneaky armor in botw, presumably so she could sneak attack, whoever ended up attacking her.
I thought it'd also be a fun throwback to Sheik and spoiler:
Zelda's gender identity is pretty open. Link referred to her with "They" pronouns earlier in the comic but I didn't feel it was very relevant to bring up at the time lmfao. Zelda's all sorts of gender in this comic to say the least.
The reason why Vaati knows she's around is smth I'll get into later when it's more relevant.
Tumblr media
"Damn would you have preferred Gannon???" - Vaati probably.
Zelda isn't playing around she wants to know where her blonde twink is at.
Vaati is a bitch about it of course.
Tumblr media
Oh she mad.
She real mad.
"PATRICK THATS NOT A HOOKER!!!"
"It's not?"
"ITS A BOMB 💣!!!!"
Vaatis stupid as hell expression before she goes boom is hilarious to me.
Smth people seem to be CONFUSED about fsr is Vaati's not so subtle Zelda simping.
Vaati is a Zelda simp, that's really all there is too it. The extent of that simping is smth I've joked about a lot.
Tumblr media
So he got his ass handed to him.
Shadow himself noted vaati must be weak as hell earlier so. Guess he was right.
Tumblr media
Smth of note: vaati is struggling to keep his form in the "wind mage" form. As his body keeps trying to revert to the "wind demon" design
Those titles are used interchangeably in the manga but I call his Hylian disguise his "wind mage" form and the demon form his "wind demon" form personally.
Zelda casually drops the fact she was trying to murder Vaati with that blast. She isn't playing around. Makes sense this asshole held her prisoner for who knows how long before and did something to her best friend.
Tumblr media
Haha vaatis pathetic and also in pain.
Good.
His suffering is all the direct cause of his own actions so...hard to feel TOO bad for him rn.
Zelda certainly doesn't.
Link’s shitty state outright made her a more cold hearted person it seems.
Not that'd I'd blame her for that lmfao.
Tumblr media
Vaati struggling to get back to being handsome lmfao.
Tumblr media
Vaati, my bro, when are you going to do a single thing for yourself????
Tumblr media
Okay but the implication Dark Link let Vaati get his ass kicked and only jumped in to help when Vaati called for help is very funny.
Dark links comedically large sword is just interesting. It's not a four sword replica like Shadow’s.
Zelda is in shock at the weird Link coming out of nowhere.
Darks immediate reaction of being flustered at seeing Zelda is so funny to me.
"HYLIA'S MASSIVE TITS, IT'S A WOMAN!!!"
And fun note: This is the first time Dark's actually for reals appeared in the physical world and not just in the "Headspace".
Subtly creepy he isn't just a mental problem but a physical danger as well.
His attack was very calculated, as he didn't hurt Zelda and just slammed his sword in front of her...
...Haven't we seen smth...SIMILAR TO THIS?
Tumblr media
Huh well, look at that...
Tumblr media
Sweaty weirdo Dark Link enters the chat.
No it was not just for the memes he's actually just like that lmfao.
So from what we know about Dark so far there's some things to note:
Our buddy boy can see the memories of others and "live" through their experiences.
Yall see what it is getting at right?
Shadow link, Vio, and Vaati's emotions and memories are influencing Darks inability to harm Zelda here.
And perhaps he formed feeling a certain kind of way about her.
He associates her with positive feelings lmfao.
Their influence aside, he still chooses not to hurt her on his own.
Tumblr media
Vaati’s reaction is priceless.
Zelda seems to grant Dark some mercy, assumably because he outright denied Vaati here lol.
For his sparing of Zelda he gets squished like a dog toy. Poor Dark Link.
Vaati leaves with his dumbass lackey.
Tumblr media
When you casualy blow a hole in your castle lmfao.
She's overwhelmed.
She need break.
She need hug.
She need...Link.
Tumblr media
Pff.
Guys, he has self-awareness...fuck.
Tumblr media
Vaati, that was just unnecessarily mean to your lackey.
Also Dark Link appearance wise:
His hair color has changed. It's purple toned now when it was grey blue toned earlier....
Okay I'll stop being coy it's because he's mimicking Vio's appearance.
Tumblr media
Oh. Well, that's a face, alright...
Is he ANGRY? Is he HAPPY?
Did he make that face because he knows it'd freak Vaati out?
Vaati’s abusive bullshit doesn't seem to damper his mood at least as he's smiling in the 3rd panel.
Dark link and Shadow link are very different people, ESPECIALY when it comes to how they cope with Vaati's abuse.
It left a mark on Shadow where as as of right now at least, Dark acts MOSTLY unbothered by it.
Let's face it rn his idea of normal relationships are Shadow and vio lmfaoooooooo-
The dudes who both almost murdered each other.
Pff
His "I want kisses too" line will never not get a laugh out of me.
It's so indicative of how he actually feels.
He wants kisses.
He drops that Shadow is the demon king and for a second you gotta wonder if Vaati was like
"...Why is Gannon smooching Vio?????"
Tumblr media
Dark Link also wants to dance. Both are things he saw Vio and Shadow do, mind you...
Vaati has no idea wtf is going on lmfao.
Dark has eclipsed him as the true villain of this comic-
I say in jest.
Dark casually recaps stuff we already kinda know.
While trying to dance with Vaati pff.
Funny enough, taking the lead in said dance, which reflects how he's the one doing all the work rn.
Tumblr media
So, Dark link is interpreting peoples feelings, not 100% understanding them. 🤔
He has to actually think about Blue's emotional state hah and even seems surprised.
It's funny to think that even Green picked up on blue being jealous, and basically everyone did, but Dark had to think about it...
Kinda shows he doesn't really understand people much. Like TRUELY.
Or he's just not as interested in blue vs Vio and Shadow.
Dark stutters again like he did when he was face to face with Zelda.
Vaatis so mean mocking his stutter and continues to berate him.
Tumblr media
Well that was an outburst.
And I finally get to talk in detail about Dark Link’s "mechanics" for a lack of a better term will expand on the next page.
Design/art wise:
Dark's teeth are all sharp here when normally, despite being a demon his teeth are flat/human looking teeth.
The background is a more red version of the head-space Vio and Green have been dragged to when Dark talks to them/at them.
Tumblr media
Immediately he's back to being himself.
Weirdly happy, which settles in the true horror of the previous outbirst:
He didn't mean, a single word of what he just said.
He said that, PURELY to hurt Vaati because it's something that Vaati already feels about himself. He wasn't actually MAD at Vaati and snapping in response to Vaati's abuse. He was just reflecting Vaati's anger right back at him.
So smth about Dark:
He often reflects DIRECTLY how others behave.
Instances of such:
The madder Vaati got in this talk, the "angrier" Dark Link got right back at him.
He shouted at Dark to "Do something" and he responded angrily back that he didn't want to hurt Zelda.
He shouted and berated Dark Link causing Dark to shout that nobody loves Vaati.
Dark Link's nature is to be calm, quiet, pretty "Happy" and kinda hopelessly romantic lmao. He wants to have his idea of "Fun" with people.
He MIMICS people.
Dark has no identity of his own (At least he doesn't seem to realize he does) so often he just bounces off people. He only takes joy in hurting others atm.
Not even in an outright malicious way. At least not the kind of malicious that's "haha I broke the hero because I hate him". This is just what his idea of "Fun" is. What his idea of normal interactions are. This is just what he's suposed to be doing rn.
He isn't acting much outside of his direct reason for creation. What he even deems as fun is indicative of his creation as well.
Engaging with their range of emotions and characters and memories he deems interesting is FUN to him.
If his dialogue from page 121 is anything to go off of, bro really doesn't give a shit about his job. He just wants to have fun:
Tumblr media
He finds it amusing Shadow can ALSO manipulate people's feelings, outright kind of complimenting him for it.
And then gets hopelessly distracted and starts talking about what he'd "Rather do" right now.
Which involves hugging Vio and reading oop.
He didn't get SUPER involved/invested in Shadow's memories until Vio and Shadow were doing more "interesting" things, at least in Dark's opinion of what is "interesting."
Dark wants to engage in relationships lmfao. But he's stuck engaging with memories living though them vicariously and hurting people he supposedly "Likes".
He wants to dance with someone and kiss them and in general have "happy" moments with someone. But is stuck being a curse that's only purpose is to break the hero apart and reflect negativity.
It's kinda sad.
But he clearly hasn't reflected on his own life/situation outside of Vaati's feelings towards him.
Also: Dark has no desire to kill any of the Link or Link himself...keep this in mind.
Tumblr media
Again: He reflects Vaati's mood of annoyance with that face in the second panel. Which kills me. You just know Vaati's making the same face off screen lmfao.
Symbolism symbolism
Dark plucks the violet but leaves the silent princess alone outside of petting it. Call back to how he left Zelda alone.
He says more stuff we kinda already know, but recapping is good. Actually, we spent like 100 pages in flashbacks, hah.
It also shows what Dark learned/his takeaway from watching their interactions.
Tumblr media
Haha oh Dark why are you ripping petals out?
There's smth to be said about him ripping the petals out as the game "She loves me, she loves me not" is a vibe that's being invoked here.
With the odd amount of petals (Being 5) it'd land on "She loves me" by the way.
A relatively innocent game turned into something sinister as he rips petals out in accordance with how many heroes there are.
Dark's behavior continues to be ODD, as he claims Shadow's predicament is "Sad". Which is true.
But...does his expression REALLY scream that he's ACTUALLY sad about it to you?
His chest eyeball just stares blankly forward, his body language implies he's just kinda pretending or acting sad.
Which makes sense, Dark hasn't been shown to clearly understand sorrow properly as even when he cried he was still smiling.
He compares Vio and Shadow's struggles with their identities directly as they're both struggling with who they're SUPOSED to be compared to who they are.
Tumblr media
Again: he's ripping a petal out as he talks about each member of the Link squad.
Notes notes notes my favorite:
For whatever reason Vio is not in his present day look here. He's how he looked 7 years ago.
You could make a lot of different assumptions as to why:
Is this how Dark sees Vio? Vio visually represented to be stuck in the past. Vio just feeling more childishly scared in the face of what's happening.
Dark's comforting Vio here in a similar manor to how Shadow did though.
Also super weird: Dark actually in a round about way compliments Vio here.
"He's so blinded by his self hatred he can't see just how much everyone adores him because of his calm cool nature..."
Dark can feel how others feel about Vio and repeated those opinions.
This is smth to note because so far the only things he's really repeated out loud have been negative things people feel about THEMSELVES.
Outside of when he complimented Shadow.
But this shows he can actually recognize positive feelings people have towards others and repeat those too...
And outright stating: He "likes" Vio.
Because of his strong reaction to Zelda, we can assume that he likes people depending on how others feel about them. Because the team likes Vio: So does Dark Link.
Tumblr media
Another petal falls while he dips into Green's problems. Who's the only other one we've seen him play around with so far outside of Vio and Shadow And not even really with Shadow...
Weirdly enough Green feels empty inside because he's diet link lmfao.
I told yall I'd give him a personality.
Harbors guilt for lazing around when everyone else was doing stuff. Ouch.
He felt the need to promise Link he'd keep shit okay but he doesn't even know if he CAN.
Tumblr media
Blue and his ptsd.
Dark continues to hug people while utterly obliterating them as people lmao.
Blue can't express his emotions arounv Vio which is a theme we'll see as we go into the comic more.
Vio looking back at Blue tho is, a thing.
Tumblr media
To be fair to Dark's assesment of Red: red hasn't done anything in the comic yet.
Him chucking the flower the second it's not pretty anymore and, eating the petal is just funny in a morbid way.
Creepy thing: He ate the petal that "Symbolized" Red. The sweet optimistic character. Kinda just shows Dark consumes everything around him in a pit of despair lmfao. Also it's hilarious that he ate smth that he shouldn't have.
Vaati's disgusted reaction to said petal eating is very funny and Dark's monologue about HIMSELF is very telling I feel.
He thinks he's a hero, because he's saving someone. Removed from context that Vaati is a villain and the fac to "Save" Vaati he needed to hurt the REAL hero of Hyrule...
His actions are preventative at the moment: he's making so Link can't reform and the pieces can't seal Vaati back into the sword.
Dark's actions all make sense to Dark Link. XD
Nobody is cheering him, so he just blatantly says "YAY DARK LINK!!!" Which is honestly the funniest lines Dark has said purely because it shows his childish outlook on this entire situation.
He's just the hero saving Vaati.
Tumblr media
Dark's clearly annoyed to some degree nothing he does is bringing Vaati any amount of satisfaction.
He did what he was supposed to do. The sword is drawn. Vaati is free.
Dark even mocks Vaati's impatience and his need to control someone else to do his work for him. Hitting Vaati right where it hurts with Vaati's insecurity about being a pawn.
Instantly also going for the throat with "Master Elzo and Link would be disgusted with you"
Obviously: He's talking about Minish Cap Link NOT "our" Link.
This use of their names offends Vaati to no end.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The fight scene is fun, enough said. XD
Okay fine: Ramble thoughts.
Dark manages to mauver his way into not getting properly hit.
Dark's fascination with strangling people is not missed as he does it to Vaati here.
As he repeats things he knows will hurt Vaati's feelings.
Vaati is being unreasonable and stupid in Dark's eyes so him bringing up Vaati's insecurities to make a point is just his attempt to get Vaati to listen to him.
Despite his actions seeming to go against it: He IS on Vaati's side and IS trying to "save" Vaati.
He isn't even saying/acting out of spite, he's just kinda lowkey annoyed and exasperated at Vaati at best. XD
We hit the image count so I'll pick up later.

Luz & Gender
It’s no secret that I read/interpret Luz as not being cis, but I wanted to make a post about the elements in canon that support that idea.
I’ll mention one thing at the start though, and it’s that I don’t like when people use her design/appearance/gender non-conformity as “proof”. Dressing a certain way or having certain haircuts isn’t indicative of gender identity, someone can be very gender non-conforming while still being fully and completely cis.
I’d like to list some things I think are much better reasons for reading her as not cis/non-binary.
I) The Theme of Choices
Tumblr media
One of the themes in Luz’s story is how she feels like she has to make choices that she doesn’t really want to make - like choosing a single Track when she enrolls in Hexside, choosing which realm she will stay in, or choosing what her palisman will be - but ultimately discovers that she doesn’t have to choose, or can choose multiple things, like choosing all Tracks in Hexside and later all majors in college, being able to freely travel between the realms through the new portal, and carving an egg to let her palisman choose its own form, with that palisman then hatching as a snake-shifter who, while having a base form, isn’t bound to that form.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This theme of not actually having to choose only one thing also reflects Luz’s neurodivergence, bisexuality, and gender non-conformity. And in a non-binary reading of her, it would also reflect her gender identity, not having to choose a single binary gender.
And this fits with any label, it could be non-binary, genderqueer, bigender, genderfluid (my personal headcanon), demigirl, pangender, etc. She can even use multiple labels, choosing more than one thing once again.
The rest of the points here are smaller things that I think hint at her gender identity not being cis, or that could be interpreted as such.
II) This book in Camila’s room:
Tumblr media
It’s titled “Life Ain’t Binary”, which might imply that either Luz, Vee or both are non-binary. The word choice feels deliberate, especially given that there’s another book titled “Parenting LGBTQ”, which we can see when Luz comes in:
Tumblr media
And underneath it is a book titled “Always My Child”, likely also on the topic of raising a queer kid.
(While making this post, I noticed that the first book actually says “LGRTQ”, which- Is this Disney censorship, a joke poking fun at censorship, or just a mistake?)
[Edit]: I’ve been told that “Life Isn’t Binary” is actually a real book! And the book is about both bisexuality and “non-binary gender experiences”. Bisexuality was my other interpretation of what the book could have been referencing, and turns out both of my interpretations were correct!
III) This outfit:
Tumblr media
The purple and white shirt + green pants combo looks very similar to the genderqueer flag.
Now, genderqueer doesn’t have to mean non-binary or trans, it’s an umbrella term that includes anyone who “queers” their gender, regardless of gender identity, and can be used for both binary (cis or trans) and non-binary people.
However, the label is sometimes used interchangeably with non-binary. It can be used both as a gender identity on its own and as an umbrella term.
IV) This moment from ‘Enchanting Grom Fright’:
Tumblr media
Luz called herself a bad boy.
V) The Egg
Tumblr media
In the trans community, an “egg” is used as a metaphor for people who haven’t realized they’re trans yet, and them finally realizing they are is referred to as “cracking their egg”. Even if the egg wasn’t intentionally written to reference that, it can still be read/interpreted as an allegory.
If there’s anything else you think adds to a not cis/non-binary reading of Luz, feel free to add on!

where do you get the sense that shiv feels tom getting her pregnant was a physical betrayal...?
Tumblr media
my beautiful mind :)
eh it's definitely not the most clear or elegant phrasing on my part, written on my phone at 1am etc, also realize it's kind of dependent on an understanding of the tomshiv gender-body-fucked/fucking matrix that only exists within my mind palace. and people are ofc free to disagree with my reading of anything, i have, like, extremely specific takes that have built up over time.
shiv's feelings about her own pregnancy/specifically that tom got her pregnant are obviously extremely complicated - 'physical betrayal' is not the clearest expression of what i'm trying to say there but, yeah, imo, a sense of betrayal is part of it.
(NB: i am 100% aware that scenes set after it's revealed shiv is pregnant were not all shot afterwards/with knowledge that shiv was pregnant. i will still be talking about them in the context of the show as reflective of shiv's feelings about her pregnancy/her body etc because i think not talking about the show the way it aired and we watched it is nonsensical.)
like, i don't think it's totally accurate to say either that shiv wants to or doesn't want to have a kid - in one sense it happened to her and she went along with it, and in another she did have to work towards and choose it to some degree. it's something that she wanted to be able to choose but couldn't bring herself to decide. she distances herself from the prospect with the suggestion of freezing 'baby popsicles' but never fully rejects it. i believe lucy prebble on the official podcast post-honeymoon states said that she felt there was a part of shiv that wanted there to be some kind of issue with the fetus so she could justify terminating it - hearing that everything is fine is partially a relief, and partially terrifying because it means whatever shiv decides about her own pregnancy is completely her decision and her responsibility.
the concept of having/raising kids isn't innately repulsive to shiv, imo. there are some aspects that appeal to her, which have less to do with the actual child than what that child could represent - logan's approval and affection, as she imagines in honeymoon states; getting one over on kendall/her brothers as a whole by successfully having her own biological child; spiting caroline by proving actually i can be a mother, and a better one than you. deciding to never have kids means giving up on all of that and tacitly admitting to a deficiency. at the same time, shiv knows that child's going to be fucked and is daring someone to call her on it by continuing to drink and making jokes about fobbing the baby off on a nanny. it's a bad decision, but nobody's stopping her, so it's her bad decision to try and prove something.
the physical aspect of being pregnant, though, is definitely disturbing to her. her whole life shiv has been limited by and demeaned for being a woman, getting reduced to her body and its perceived sole function of carrying children. (kendall voice) it's only your teats that give you any value! the corporate world has no respect for a pregnant woman or a mother and shiv cannot stand feeling disrespected. related to this, shiv highly prizes her bodily autonomy. to her being impregnated by someone else is always going to feel like a violation, being treated as an incubator for someone else's purposes. (citing dalia oreganosbaby's post that explains this better than i do.) her keeping the pregnancy a secret/continuing to drink is in some ways an attempt to retain her sense of agency and bodily autonomy by refusing to let it affect her lifestyle or emotions.
in this sense being impregnated by tom particularly registers as a 'betrayal' in that, like, because tom was unique as the man she felt safe around emotionally and physically - because shiv felt she was the one with the power/the one doing the fucking - he became the man who was able to truly fuck her emotionally and physically (betray her to logan/impregnate her). she thought she had control over him (he was more openly emotionally invested than her, she fucked other people and he didn't) and he turned it around to subordinate her positionally and physically. the broadness/masculinity that made her think he was reliable humiliated her instead.

First post for Tae hope yall like it ;)
Blendid
Ft. Kim Taehyung x blackreader
Themes : Fluff| Slice of life
Summary: The Kim family are trying to come up a name for their newest addition.
Notes: My first post so don’t judge me too hard 😅
When you first met your husband you didn't think your relationship would last as long as it did. Your insecurities overtook your thoughts constantly and made you think negative often. So when Taehyung asked you to marry him the first time you rejected him out of fear that things would end as soon as you let your walls down. But he proved himself everyday, he was the first man to come in your life and not leave you with emotional baggage. He listened to you and always made you feel loved. He was patient with you and you took care of him just as much as he took care of you.
Somehow Taehyung convinced you to consider having another baby; now here you were only a few weeks from giving birth again. "Ok! Everyone put the names in the hat" You exclaim watching your husband and kids put their chosen baby names. "I hope y'all put gender neutral names in here" You giggle. You both decided you didn't want to know the gender, you preferred it to be a surprise.
"I really want you pull the name that I picked, I actually put thought into it" Your stepdaughter Seoyoon says eating from her fathers plate. "I think my name should be picked, it’s the best choice"Taehyung chimes in. "Kai what did you pick?" You ask your seven year old son Kaiden. "It's a surprise"He says being his normal shy self. "And because Ty is too young to choose I got to pick two names" You say shuffling the pieces of paper around.
"Seems kind of unfair" Taehyung protested. "Well the baby is coming out of my cooch so I get to make that executive decision" you joke. "Mom what's a cooch? I thought the baby came from your belly button?" Kaiden asks with a confused face. "A cooch is a girls v-" "yes they will come from her belly button" Taehyung says quickly cutting Seoyoon off. "Ok, moving on, Appa gets to pick the first name" You say holding the hat in front of him.
"I'm nervous feel my heart" Taehyung says being extremely playful. "This is like a big deal, our baby will have this name forever" He says. "Tae just pick the name" you laugh. He shuffles the names again before finally pulling out a strip of paper. Taehyung gasps before giving you a big smile. "What, is it a bad name?" you instantly panic knowing that your husband probably added a weird name in there on purpose.
He looks at it trying to hide before giving you a wide grin.  "Tae stop playing with me" You laugh. "Yes! My name for the win!" Seoyoon exclaims. "Akko? Why that name?" You ask, you weren't too fond of it right away. "Well I think Kim Akko just sounds good, its not exactly korean but I like it " Seo said. "I like it but if this baby ends up being a boy he might hate his name, it sounds like a girl name" Taehyung says which you agreed.
"Oh ok, well if you think it's a bad name let's just pick another one"the ten year old frowns. "No it's ok, I think Akko is a great name and it was picked first so that will be the first name" You say quickly encouraging her. When it came to his daughter you always had a soft spot for her, she always got away with everything because you would vouch for her every time Taehyung tried to discipline her. So of course you were gonna agree with her choice.
"Kai do you want to pick the middle name?" You ask your son who nods his head. His face was filled with excitement while fishing for another name. "I hope this one is mine" You smile. "Moon?" Your son says looking confused. "I didn't put that" Seo laughs. "Me either, I knew you would try to sneak a odd one in there"You shake your head at Taehyung who walks over to you with open arms.
"Babe, please, I'm a pro at baby making, now I'm gonna be a pro at baby naming" He jokes before giving you a kiss. "Gross, old people" Seoyoon jokes. You just couldn't wait for your blended family to be complete.
I literally just google searched unique baby names lmao. I had no idea Moon was a Korean name 🥴

🎃Redacted Couples Dressing Up For Halloween🎃
👻👻Spoopy Time Headcanons👻👻
🥰Couples Costumes🥰🥰
Pt. 1
(Btw, the gender of the costume character is not directly linked to the gender of the redacted character/listener character, Milo and Sweetheart’s is prime example of this)
First up is...
Asher and Baaabe
Ah, yes, the lovely goofball/hot bitch power couple ☺️☺️
These two are the reason I made this list, because I KNOW
Asher would dress as Roger Rabbit
And Babe would dress as Jessica Rabbit
(Who Framed Roger Rabbit 1988 film)
THEY CANT NOT DRESS AS THEM, SERIOUSLY
I also just kinda wanna see Babe in that red dress, ngl-
You just can’t tell me this isn’t them 👇👇👇
Tumblr media
NEXT!
Milo and Sweetheart
Okay, DONT HATE ME FOR THIS
I’m not making fun of Milo’s accent, I swear-
That being said...
Milo would dress as Harley Quinn
And Sweetheart would dress as The Joker
(The DC Universe comic book series and more)
If you disagree, that’s fine, I get it, it’s probably an overdone joke idk,
BUT MILO WOULD BE KILLING IT IN HARLEY QUINN’S SUICIDE SQUAD OUTFIT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
And Sweetheart in a suit 👀👀👀👀
I don’t think more needs to be said
Milo calling Sweetheart Puddin
Tumblr media
NEXT!
David and Angel
I wish I could think of something more interesting or elaborate for these two, but let’s be honest...
David would dress as The Big Bad Wolf
And Angel would dress as Little Red Riding Hood
(Little Red Riding Hood 17th century folktale)
ITS SO PERFECT THEY LITERALLY CANT BE ANYTHING ELSE
Okay, well, that’s a lie, I almost made them Beauty and the Beast
But I have a feeling David would not want to dress up, so Angel just has to work with what he already is-
Tumblr media
NEXT!
Sam and Darlin
THIS ONES MY FAVORITE THIS ONES MY FAVORITE
Now, I’m not making fun of Sam and calling him a cowboy.
I have his accent too, it’d make me a hypocrite.
HOWEVER THIS IS TOO PERFECT AND IF I CAN MAKE THIS COUPLE CANON IN ANY WAY IT SHALL BE THIS
Sam would dress as Jedediah
And Darlin would dress as Octavius
(Night at the Museum film franchise)
JEDTAVIUS MY BELOVED 😩😩😩
Darlin rocking that Roman armor 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Sammy in the cowboy fit 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
I know he wouldn’t want to dress as a cowboy, but I think he’d be fine if he’s dressing as Jedediah
We all know he’s an Owen Wilson kinnie anyway
Tumblr media
NEXT!
Vincent and Lovely
Okay this one might be a bit of a stretch...
I really struggled to pick a dynamic duo for them, but I think this works
Vincent would dress as Erik “The Phantom”
And Lovely would dress as Christine
(The Phantom of the Opera 1986 musical)
No, I didn’t choose this because I think Vincent would look hot in The Phantom’s mask 😅😅😅
...👀
I honestly don’t have much else to say about them, it just felt right.
Tumblr media
NEXT!
Geordi and Cutie
This is another one that I struggled with
And I honestly don’t know why I think they’d dress as this duo-
Geordi would dress as Jerry
And Cutie would dress as Tom
(Tom and Jerry animated franchise)
To be completely honest, I think they’d dress as any dynamic duo within Looney Toons/Warner Bros...
Tumblr media
NEXT!
Gavin and Freelancer
Y’know how I said Sam and Darlin’s costume was my favorite?
Well this one is a very close second
Gavin would dress as Tiffany
And Freelancer would dress as Chucky
(Bride of Chucky 1998 film)
I JUST KNOW THAT GAVIN WOULD
HE’S A HOT BITCH AND SO IS TIFF, IT JUST MAKES SENSE
God I hope someone draws this, ngl
Do I just want to see him in a leather jacket and fishnets? Maybe.
Tumblr media
NEXT!
Ollie and Mentor
This one was another struggle
I just don’t know much about either of them even though I’ve listened to Ollie’s playlist
Hell, Mentor doesn’t even have a proper pet name...
But, regardless, there was one iconic duo that came to mind for these two and it just kinda stuck...
Ollie would dress as Shaggy
And Mentor would dress as Velma
(Scooby-Doo animated franchise)
I don’t know why, I just feels like they would
Tumblr media
(This is a really cute gif omg)
NEXT!
Elliott and Sunshine
Okay, hear me out-
These two DO NOT PLAY when it comes to Halloween costumes, alright?
They’ve been doing matching outfits for YEARS, even before they were dating
And they will not stop.
Elliott would dress as Wybie
And Sunshine would dress as Coraline
(Coraline 2009 film)
Again, I just feel like they would, okay?
The bestest, mostest, dynamicist, duoist duo in the entire Redactedsphere
Tumblr media
NEXT!
Avior and Starlight
THEY CANT NOT DRESS AS A TIM BURTON COUPLE OKAY-
It’s just perfect for them 😭😭
That being said...
Avior would dress as Jack
And Starlight would dress as Sally
(The Nightmare Before Christmas 1993 film)
I might just want to see Avior in a black and white striped suit, but I swear there’s more to this-
Halloweentown is basically hell.
Tumblr media
Here's part two!

literal tears are running down my face as i scroll thru your blog. on it it it feels like im back home.
i just wanna go back man. i just wanna be a kid running around on feralheart and drawing my ocs again and watching silly movies with my friends. it feels like im living a lie every single day of my life since then.
it hurts and fills me with so much shame to say that i feel like a kid, like i stopped mentally aging in like 2012, 2014 at the latest. the dysphoria is strangling. i dont want to describe it but yeah it sucks so bad.
i cant tell anyone in my life this in detail. cus i can feel the callouts. the sneers. the performative disgust. the gleeful hatred. everyone turning on me and making me into a joke. but this experience is so viscerally terrible and real and i cant just get over it and i cant choose to get better. i hate it.
youre the first person ive ever seen who seemed like theyd actually understand and its just overwhelming bcus it felt like i was completely alone. so i just wanted to say thanks for the catharsis of showing me im not beyond understanding. but im sorry if this is all selfish or upsetting. the last thing i wanna do is hurt or upset anyone, so feel free to ignore and delete.
thank you for ur blog and i hope you have a great day/week/month/year/life/forever <3
anon, im so so sorry i didnt answer this one sooner. i kept thinking, "when i get on desktop" but i never ended up back on desktop until i got this new monitor (win!)
i totally feel you, im glad i can bring you (though maybe bittersweet) comfort.
dysphoria and even feelings of 'transness' in places of identity other than gender and sex absolutely exist and are valid, and its really too bad its so stigmatized. you have my <3 and you have my thoughts. its tough, and theres more of us than youd think, hopefully, its an amount that comforts you... and i hope, you can find people who relate to you and you can share trust with and happy memories.
"performative disgust' is a topic i bring up a lot in this kinda discoursing. if i may, its pretty western too.. the need to be combative causes a strange sort of lash-out-culture, where people arent even neccisarily uninformed, its a lack of desire to be informed at all, and instead perform hatred for the acknowledgement of their peers. id know. it was me once. terrible and toxic situation, but its eaten the internet in many spaces....
its tough feeling trapped, unable to move forwards and feeling like youre "wrong". being disabled and growing up disabled makes those kinds of remarks and implications said by some people extra painful to me. and i know lots of us who feel dysphoria surrounding our facets of the self, both gender or non-gender, are neurodivergant as well, and as someone who was in special education, and then my school dropped me by force because i just "wouldnt" do my math, i know how painful it can feel both inside, but then to come forward and have people act like "just move forward" "just understand" "well you can never go back so just be here instead"... its painful.
i hope that between the time you sent this and now, youvbe found someone to be open to... if not, you can send me your discord off anon (wont pub) and we can chat there if you need it... youre certainly not alone anon, just the haters want you to feel that way. dont give in. do your best!

I wanna dance in the dark
And never stop
We gonna light up the night
Like shooting stars
Whenever you hear the sound
Don't be alarmed
Song: . . .ılı Dancing in the dark by Rihanna
T/W: there is cussing, mentions of parents fighting, mentions of abuse, mentions of drinking, and this is an any gender reader!
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
You always had a passion for dancing in the middle of the street at midnight by yourself it helped distract you from your parents when they fight or when something bad happened or when you are really stressed, its like a way to calm down. You had a lot of stress being built up, so you still went ahead and danced into the street night knowing you could get hurt or ran over by a car, but you didn't care.
"Hey Y/N.." You heard a familiar voice say and you opened your eyes, it was Ponyboy. You stopped dancing and looked at him. "Hey, Pony." You said, looking at him confused on why he was here. "What are you doing out here in the rain, Pony.?"
"Looking for you.." Ponyboy said while stepping closer to you. "Why are you looking for me?" You said while looking very confused and you tilted your head. "To see how things were.. But real question, why are you out here?" He asked while shivering
"Because It calms me." you said in your normal gentle tone. "Dancing in the rain, calms you?" Ponyboy said sounding and looking confused. "Yeah." You said sounding proud. "Whatever floats your boat, I guess."
"What..? I like dancing..." You said then paused then spoke up again. "In the dark." You said then Ponyboy smiled. "I can see that... So why do you choose to dance in the dark? You can do it at any time of the day.. Why at night?" Ponyboy asked.
You started to think about why you did dance at night. "Well, I like the night, its like an endless void that is full of mysteries." You said not really sure how to explain why you like dancing in the dark.
"You are a deep person y'know?" Ponyboy said then looked up at the night sky. "Well its kinda like how you dig sunsets, I dig the night, we aren't that different." You said then Ponyboy smiled. "I guess your right.. But c'mon, we are greasers.. We ain't supposed to dig the night or sunsets."
"We are crazes, ponyboy! No one will understand us they way we understand each other or ourselves." You said then thought about what you said. "You are a very deep person.. But I guess I am too." Ponyboy joked and you smiled
"Y'know, I like it when we hang out." You said then sat down on a curb. "So what happened? You normally don't dance in the night unless your parents are fighting, you got abused my your mother, got jumped or you are just very stressed.. So what happened?" Ponyboy asked then sat down next to you on the curb. "I.. My mother is drunk.. Again.." You said while tears were forming in your eyes.
"Oh, I am sorry, did you get hurt? Do you wanna stay at my house with Darry, Soda with me?" Ponyboy asked while gently rubbing your back. "No, but if I do I will come to your house, alright?" You said then sniffled and wiped your tears away. "Alright, just.. Be safe, alright?"
"Alright, I will.." You said then got an idea. "Pony, can we dance in the middle of the street together? Please?" You begged him and he looked surprised for a moment then stood up and grabbed your hand and you two started to danced in the middle of the street. "I'll take that as a yes." You said then giggle and then Ponyboy smiled. "I always wanted to dance with you.. I just have two left feet." Ponyboy admitted while he spun you. "You are doing fine!" You said.
The end!
A/N: This took a bit longer than expected, but I got it done! I hope ya'll enjoyed reading this fanfic! And I hope you all have a good day or night where ever you are in the world!

Thank you @dangerliesbeforeyou for tagging me, im mentioning all kinds of media bc I love to rant, I have a lot of love in my heart and I have trouble choosing just 8: (im making this on mobile hope it's readable).
Howl's moving castle (2004)
My first experience of gender envy, gender fascination, gender emulation for Howl, at a time I didn't even know that gender was a thing because I was like idek 7 years old.
Kiss of the rabbit god (2019)
A short movie, stumbled onto it bc of Tumblr. You honour, I simply love it.
Shrek (2001)
I'm not being ironic I'm very serious about this one. My mom used to braid my hair weekly when I was little and I constantly played this one, I know it by heart and I'm not joking. I freaking love this movie. Same goes for Mulan, Beauty and the beast, Charlie and the chocolate factory, and the whole Shrek franchise up to the 3rd one. (Gotta watch Puss in boots 1 and 2 tho.)
V for vendetta (2005)
This is a shout-out to 14 years old me who might have at some point based their personality around this movie or maybe they didn't, who's to say. I'm not sorry. Kinda still like it tho.
Corpse bride (2005)
There is an independent cinema in my hometown and they did run it often over the years. Bestie I don't know how many times I went to see this movie with my mother as a child. Recently learned about the Jewish origins of this myth and im a lil upset about the stolen storyline without the context. But some will say it's a Burton movie and they're right.
Valentine's day (2011)
First movie I went to see alone with my friends, I was like 12yo. Rewatched it again like 2 years ago, yeah it ain't that great but it's the memories right.
Father and soldiers (2022)
The last movie that made me cry. I hate war movies but my friends convinced me to go because it was less than 2 hours and I've been mad at movies being more than two and a half hours lately (looking at u House of Gucci, Doctor Strange 2) yeah, I cried my eyes out. It's not a perfect movie but the message is great and very moving. I don't like the English title because the original/French title directly refers the name of a group of African soldier recruited by France in its colonies during WWI -> "Les Tirailleurs" (if I remember well, the soldiers were recruited in every colonies but they left Africa from the Senegal and so all these soldiers are referred as Senegalese regardless of their actual origins). The English title is more fitting thematically wise I'll give you that.
Fulmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009)
Knew about it, was recommended by a dear mutual of mine on this very hellsite and yeah, ppl keep saying it's good because it just is.
I told sunset about you/ I promised you the moon (2020-2021)
If you read my tags u know how I rant about this show often. Watched it 2 years ago thanks to someone i follow on Tumblr (but im not really sure who it was anyway if you're a mutual thank you sm). My first foray into BL (back when I didn't even know what it was) and I couldn't be happier that I started with this. I don't have enough words to praise it. (currently writing a post about it tho, stay tuned for whenever I get around to finish it (tell me if u wanna know when it's up), big up to Bad Buddy and To My Star too)
Honoured mentions bc I started making a list and had more than 8 and couldn't not mention them:
Other movies: O'brother, Love and Leashes, God's own country, Jackie Brown, The big lebowsky (idek if I like this movie but I needed something to base my personality around when I was 15yo)
The book The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo, I'm gonna keep my rant about how the English title is a misunderstanding of the book locked and not even start it.
Alice isn't dead and The Magnus archives (although they're podcasts and I haven't quite finished them, the first seasons are exquisite)
Welcome to Night Vale, I have a lot of episodes to catch up on (currently working on that) started listening like in 2016 then stopped around idek 2 years ago. Some of these episodes are masterpieces ( some I know by heart: Guidelines for disposal, Love is a shambling thing, What happened at the Smithwick House, If he had lived, and The Pilot ofc)
the ballet Swan Lake (1995, 2012) by Matthew Bourne. I don't have enough words. I'll just say it's on youtube.
.....and many more im not think abt rn
*acts surprised* this became a real long post, real quick
(That's why I take a lot of time to answer those lmao, shout out and thank you to the ppl who tag me in these and then I take a lot of time to answer)
Tagging these people and anyone who wants to do it can mention me: @sherlockig @dontbesoevil @lordmeowdemort @namelessbeing @hairbackc0llarup @comrademichael @johnlockdynamic @lovelywickedsoul @frenchsiren

FLASHBACKS R UNDERRATED 🗣🗣‼️‼️ I swear I can't be the only one who ADORES the flashbacks they're so good never apologise for a good juicy flashback
As a ( failing ) trans man who has not come out to his own dad ( I hate that word ) who he also has a complicated but non-existent relationship with I cannot express how much this means to me
I would also love to learn more about my own culture as I am a quarter Mexican through my dad but there's limited family from him in Canada 2/3 of which have sadly passed
Stan also means a lot to me and I rgehrhjejr. The way you portray him just. makes me so happy!! Your writing has genuinely done so much for me as I am quite literally Stan Marsh and trans masc Stan makes me so so sooooo happy. He's annoying as fuck, most definitely has an ugly tea kettle laugh, but is pure in heart and I can resonate with that ( heavy on the laugh )
I hyh from all the poor things that have come your way and I will fight that infection myself!! Fists up!! And Not only your body but your heart because break ups SUCK
-Stan 🧡( my tablet doesn't have the orange heart but Tumblr is very annoying to copy paste things 💔💔 )
orange heart stanon,
okay, please don't laugh at me, but...this literally made me cry??? help??? oh my god??? what my fanfiction means to you, this message means to me, words cannot express how absolutely lovely you are, my dearest darling. <3 :'}
but i am going to get stern with you for a moment because you are not, in any way shape or form, a failure.
take that that thought and *stan marsh vc* recycle it, baby!
( sorry this got very long; you know how i am....smh )
not being out to a parent or anyone else in your life does not diminish the validity of your identity and there are several reasons why coming out to someone in your life may not always be the right choice at any given time ( namely for comfort and safety reasons. )
really, i find it can be terribly cruel that members of the lgbtq community have to put themselves in danger/discomfort in order to be seen and heard by the rest of the world when cis and straight people just get to go about their business...smh.
with that said! coming out is not easy! i weave a lot of my experiences into my stories to make them real and ( if you can recall ) pep!stan was extremely nervous to come out to randy and had to take a xanax and i also had to do that after i asked my girl best friend to prom. i was extremely incoherent and don't remember how that went ( i sang, apparently? which is why stan also sang? ) but my dad and my mom were, thankfully, very supportive of me. <33
but thats not always the case! sometimes you don't always have that support system! and gender dysphoria can be awful enough without having it triggered by the prodding of parents or family members fanning the flames on facebook!!! please rem(ember):
YOU DO NOT OWE ANYONE ANYTHING.
you owe the world dust. you don't owe the world or anyone in it a goddamn thing. you are who you are regardless of whether or not other people choose to acknowledge it. you are who you are regardless of who you share yourself with. you are who you are.
and in my ask box, on my tumblr, in my life and in my heart: you are seen, loved, valued and protected. you are safe here, my angel.
so do not ever call yourself a failure, even as a joke, because you have done nothing but make me extremely proud of you. <3
( also if it helps, stan calls randy "bother" instead of father and "bad" instead of dad...sometimes i use "parental" or "that guy" haha. i think what most men fail to realize is that being a man with a child does not automatically make you a father...its not a right its a privilege. )
and i am glad that you are curious about your heritage!
( side bar, very excited to see you have some roots in canada! not because i have anything to do with canada but because...rm!stan fkn loves canada aka the homeland of stans first bf wayne gretsky, fireball, the drink of fall scented boyfailure alcoholics everywhere and ike broflovski, who is in next chapter! )
it can be kind of a can of worms to open sometimes, but i think if anyone was going to learn about yourself, it should be you right? i'd follow that paper trail as far back as it goes, watch tiktok videos, make meaningful connections with family members or people who you trust and have fun going out with lanterns and finding yourself.
ok this part is the part that made me.... :''''''} wheeeew!
i cannot tell you how much it means to me that you resonate with stan ( which, as i told lowercase/in love stan, was a wonderful thing because of how lovely he is ) because he is really very special to me.
all of my stans are very precious to me and my favorite character to write because of all his really beautiful complexities and introspections. i think it takes a lot of courage to be so sad and struggle so much and still smile. hes extremely strong for that.
however, rm!ravenstan specifically means a lot to me because...i was not sure how people would react to him. other than the plot of rm being crazy, writing a poc transmasc stan was kind of a risky thing to do because i was very worried about misportraying him or not doing justice by his identity/the identities of my readers so...
the fact that you can find parts of yourself in him is wonderful to me.
( getting all the positive imput about my characterization from actual trans, latinx and specifically trans latinx people is so so precious to me because, while i am not trans ( or latinx, though, i am half filipino on my mothers side ) i watched my dearest guy friend transition over the course of multiple years very closely, did extensive research, worked with a lot of trans students and did my best to listen to my heart and soul and write an accurate portrayal of collected experiences...aka ravenstan...who i daresay is my favorite character
i am very excited you guys get to see more of him by the way! aaa )
also unfortunately, he is so lovely that i did have to make him annoying to balance that out so he is super fucking annoying. also i love his terrible laugh oh my god. if you have time to make your laugh sound good are you really laughing tbh? a bad laugh is a good laugh.
thank you for your kind words my friend! i am attempting to hold down the fort here both emotionally and physically. and to be honest, i am more annoyed about my body fucking up on me than my relationship failing, to tell you the truth. this is my evil era.
( as you can tell, between my tears, that i am so evil and cruel and angry and do not want to smush your cheeks haha <333 )
but! fear not! i, like stanley marsh in both my ninaverses, are unkillable and like all my kyles, am bat shit insane! i will live or haunt all of your beyond the grave.
before i go, please be kind to yourself, orange heart stanon. do not punish yourself for the feelings of others. live unapologetically. you have come so much further than you realize and i can't wait to see where you end up.
-proud father figure uncle nina
edit: WAIT I FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT THE FLASHBACKS!!!! thank you SO MUCH!!! i love the flashbacks! like i know that people want plot progression but might i argue that they actually...are plot progression even if we are going backwards in time? like just in that one chapter alone, you all got to learn more about ravenstan than in all of those three chapters??? which!!!! is so fun!!! aaaa
also i think it just gives important content to stan and kyles prior relationship and the flashbacks are a way of me showing you guys just how much love they have for each other like...barring any chaos that's happening in the plot, i can throw you guys a flashback and it can be lovely an the boys can be lovely in it.
( which is nice considering in both my fanfics the boys are either fighting, dont like eachother or one of them is DEAD??? )
also the flashbacks are my favorite to write because i can be weird and creative with the lore. i get worried about them because theyre not totally canon compliant but theyre actually the part of my fics people like the best!!! like hyh was a flashback!!!! and actually everything up until stan wakes up after tolkiens party was a flashback technically...i think?
ALSO THIS CHAPTER IDK SOMETHING ABOUT THAT HOCKEY PUCK FLASHBACK I WAS OBSESSED WITH just bc it was like??? such a profound act of love like it was something that would have ruined kyles life that stan did in five seconds and would do again!!!! like almost permanently disfigured him but it was worth it </333
anyways, a lot of the backstory from rm is in flashbacks so i am attempting to weave them in and figure out how to do that ALSO WHENEVER I DROP PEP 12 a flashback i love is in there aaaaa.
-uncle nina....rambling again smh i love flashbacks
