Yesterday I was catching a ride home with a new irl friend (friend?!?!?!!) and the directions on my phone said "go straight" and I was like "ew" and she laughed and then today as we were about to part ways she was like y'know I wanted to ask you smthn and I was like shoot and then she was like about that joke you made yesterday...you part of the alphabet mafia? and I was like yuh except I don't kill people but I DO slay and she laughed (again!!!!) and then I was like with pants like these? duh. and she was like man my gaydar is just no good and I was like so happy at the idea that a good gaydar would pick me up, at the idea of being on the gaydar, I think it was one of the best days I've had in a while

#cargo pants btw #I love them #I also love my cargo shorts that I got on clearance in the men's department at target I wanted to cry the first time I put them on #but like a fool I was suckered in by a few cool days into believing it was actually 'fall' enough to wear my long pants more often #I should be better at this I was born in the Midwest #shame on me #it was so awesome #she was like yes I finally have one queer friend #GIRL I'm literally the queer friend #that makes me so happy #I'm the queer friend #part of the alphabet mafia #share my joy!!!! I'm literally so ecstatic about that entire exchange #gaydar #queer joy #bisexual #bi #lgbtq #queer

when I wrote that fic from lemon’s pov where he performs noble service top duties for mouthy bottom tangerine, and they BOTH cried, it was a civic duty for all of western civilization

crying is imo neutral, the fact that men cry less is not a virtue, nor that women cry more

what is a virtue is stopping your emotions from making you waste all your time moping or take it out on people (and if you pretend to yourself that you are happy when you are not, this may be a harder task)

also a virtue (unrelated to crying): owning your own agency and making choices that obey your (actual, not the fake one society or your parents may have installed as an extra voice in your brain) conscience and are driven toward the fulfillment of your (actual, ...) desires

#i deleted a couple of clarifications because i think they made the post more ~apologetic than it should be #obviously individual men and women cry at individual rates #this is a tag i add defensively but it should be obvious to you as well and also that my point does not rely on a strong generalization

[threadsun]

Is it wrong I like the idea of pathetic men making me cockwarm them or fucking me senseless while they cry about it?

It just sounds so good to have a man whine and whimper about me being so tight on them while they fuck me like there is no tomorrow.

It's not wrong to have sexy and correct opinions!! A pathetic man who can't control himself around you is super hot!! That's part of Ian's appeal imo :3c

#sunshine #asks #I think more men should cry when they fuck their partners #and whimper. whimpering is very important

Sigh.

Yes. Bonus points if they're pathetic, obsessive and submissive.

Took me a while to realize but I can see similarities in how Asuka seems to process grief and how Guts from Berserk also processed his grief after the Eclipse. They both get so overwhelmed by the wrong that happened to them (father's hospitalization vs the Eclipse and a lifetime of misery) their reaction isn't to seek comfort in others or help/protect their loved one who needs them after the tragedy, it's to go off and inflict their pain on others to self soothe, as if that'll release the feeling from their minds.

The difference is that Guts was called out for this by Rickert and Godo. He needed to snap out of wanting to prioritize ridding his own pain to remember Casca needed him, and that Casca even in the state she was in was all the good in his life who went through the same experience with him. Guts had to remember he loves Casca more than he wants to self destruct. Like Godo told him he was a sword called fear with cracks in it. He feared sitting with his pain and grief and seeing it on the person he loved after so much violation. He feared vulnerability.

Asuka doesn't do this reevaluatation and has no one to call her out for her self destructive coping canonically. She can't sit with anything bad or face looking at it on a loved one either. That's too bad and helpless of a feeling. She's just as much made of fear (primarily from any helplessness as much as violations of her inner ethics) which fuels her anger, but her one personal attachment to her father who needs her isn't enough to make her want to reevaluate what she does at all. Instead his tragedy is the permission she needs to self destruct and destroy in the process, not like Guts who always told himself everything was for Casca and the fallen Hawks, who always reminded himself of the pain to justify the bloodletting.

Unlike Guts I think she'd be stubborn even accepting to listen to someone pointing her behavior out. Though her anger toward Feng did start out carrying a reminder this vengeance is for Dad even if it kills her in 5, even in 5's branching narratives that excuse falls apart when she continues in the tournament for her own pleasure during her route. The moment vengeance is achieved critically injured Dad is out of her mind. Her behavior during 6 repeats this process, preferring to hurt herself and others rather than sit to process a shitty feeling over her and the world's situation. Like Guts in this state she pushes away anyone and everyone else including any comforts because the anger isn't resolved, the fear isn't resolved, the pain isn't resolved.

They're both used to everyone being against them and having to fight for survival until they found joy in it as a side effect. And because of that independence born from isolation when something like the tragedies that happened takes place they put resolving their pain not on sharing with others but into scorching the earth along with themselves.

I don't say this either to imply they're exactly alike or that they have enough similarities to make a true character comparison because they absolutely don't. There's also some stuff I'm leaving out simply because Guts is a far more complex character in ways where there's nothing from Asuka to compare against (I would say Kazuya is the closest, more fitting Tekken comparison for substituting Guts vs Asuka style notes). I just find it interesting that even across wildly different stories the outline for an angry, self destructive, terrified person who thinks self destruction makes them strong and puts them in control uses a lot of the same foundation. And the contrast in their depths really shows how far you can push the concept depending on what you want or need for the character.

#tekken #berserk #I've haven't slept in six hours #asuka kazama #do i still think she'd pull a fighting 100 men for their lover type situation- MAYBE tbh #you could give her one technically but you'd have to really stretch her denial of seeing her violent behavior as ever being wrong #and that risks losing the scope of the character and the stakes level she represents #like i don't think she surpresses her pain into an other self at all she's very clear she's just reactionary so the brooding guilt #you need to have a BoD doesn't really apply at all she's not remorseful and ruminating on fighting in that sense at all whereas Guts guilts #Asuka hits you and moves on with her day because that should teach you; Guts is a whole storm of emotions and moral pulls even when numb #BoD is more a Jin thing but i still prefer Guts and not bc he did it first im sorry Jin jfjdhss #*you could give Asuka a BoD- idk why that tag is missing after the 100 men comment #anyway bitches who embody the sin of wrath #Asuka is about the childish joy and childish impulse we feel hurting others versus Guts being a study on why we hurt ppl bc we hurt too #*BoD is beast of darkness of course #also obviously there are lines Asuka will NEVER cross even in anger that Guts had no problem violating as Black Swordsman #so how does Asuka process grief...SHE DOESN'T LOL #she'd rather kill herself or dismiss feeling hurt than so much as cry

Have you ever come to a part in a story where a character made a choice, for good or for ill, and just reading about that choice and its impact directly influenced your real life outlook?

#I've had a few #But the Honour Chasm scene in The Way of Kings #and Kaladin deciding to try just once more #and deciding that even though he would likely be killed tomorrow #he would learn the men's names before he went to bed so that he could be a good leader to them #changed something in me in terms of charity and hospitality #I struggle with some social anxiety and if I don't click fairly quickly with a person it can be easy for me to add them to my #'probably difficult or scary to interact with' list #but I went to bed crying over Kaladin's choice #because I wanted to be that person #who chooses to love based not on how easy it is to love a person #but because they are worthy of love no matter what #and as we see in the case of Bridge Four that kind of love can be transformative. #I haven't turned into a Kaladin in that regard - I can only dream - but that scene gave me the drive to decide 'I am done with letting #social anxiety dictate to me when I should love and when not. I can take the lead.' #cosmere #way of kings #brandon sanderson #Coreander's Old Books #reflections #choices #life #kaladin stormblessed #stormlight archive

I usually don't notice this stuff tbh but this was significant I lost at least ten followers last night. Was it because I joked about legalizing murder for the vamp Lue agenda? There are too many new ppl on my blog so let me clear this up 💜🙏

The vamp Lue agenda is the fact that I need to be vamp and it is an affront to the universe that vamps don't exist and I'm not one.

The *new* vamp Lue agenda is a policy of benevolence because my mutuals who both want to be euthanized and want to be bitten by a vampire would now be able to without consequence to me if we created vamp transformation (step 1) and then legalized murder (step 2) so I wouldn't go to jail for my generous acts 😌 it's simple sweet okay I'm sure there would be no negative consequences realistically metaphysically or supernaturally from this plan 💀

#it was a joke but pls leave if it irks you i havent even posted about blood drinking or men crying much lately so this isnt so bad but #maybe not your thing which is totally fine #in that sense im glad ppl left if it was that because pls take care of yourselves 💜🙏 #but maybe i will catch more stragglers that should unfollow this way 💜🙏 #vamp Lue agenda

For the Bleach Red AU regarding Ichigo's powers. I'd suggest either Quincy, Hollow or Fullbringer powers being what awakens first. Probably during the Hollow Bait Invasion. Also, I am presuming that Tatsuki is going to awaken to some Fullbringer powers as she's very much Orihime's Chad. And that makes me curious about our now supporting character and love interest Ichigo. Does Chad shake up Orihime when Ichigo has been kidnapped by Aizen like Tatsuki did in canon? 1

Would Ichigo also do a silent, tear filled confession to a sleeping Orihime when put under the isolation spell before his departure to Hueco Mundo?

Back on the Ichigos power wheel. Imagine if the Hollow Invasion attack that awakens Ichigo's power were his Quincy's powers. I can actually imagine early serious Uryuu trying to buddy up to Ichigo and try to teach him the ways of Quincy. All while both of them are probably wondering why. Maybe that ends with a mutual retelling of the past from Isshin and Souken. But given how quickly Ichigo learn son his feet, Soul Society would be in a for a whooping if he awakened to his Quincy powers first

_______

So about Ichigo-- I had planned that his Quincy powers would manifest first, but do so "wrong" as observed by Uryu. :D (Uryu assumes this is because Ichigo is a stubborn, learn-as-he-goes punk with no training and no respect for tradition. That might be partially the case… Or maybe Ichigo has some kind of latent power /cough cough/ that isn't fully covered by 'Quincy' standards. Hm! (it's probably fullbring, but i beef somewhat with the way fullbring was handled in canon, so it would likely be very very different from the standard explanation.) )

You're absolutely right about Tatsuki! I did make some art of fullbring concepts for her in the past, but I don't know exactly where she would sit in terms of power just yet.

And as for your last question vis a vis rehashes of canon scenarios-- I have no idea! There's no guaranteeing that an AU will follow the arcs of canon, because it's already diverged from canon by dint of its very existence. That's part of the fun, and then the wagon hits a bump, you go off the road, end up in another country and oh god we're into wholly original fan content--

If the scenario interests you, you should totally write your take on it!

RED isn't exclusive or anything; play in this sandbox with me!

..

.. that said, and i mean this in the least normal way possible, seeing ichigo cry over orihime is an extremely compelling line of thought.

I wanna see that boy cry!
