Act I: Knowing and believing are two different things.

My take on what happens BLR :)

If you like what I do, buy me a coffee!

#Vashwood #Trigun #Trigun Badlands Rumble #Vash the Stampede #Nicholas D Wolfwood #I always thought about how Vash would react if he came across the results of his action in BLR #Or rahter #His inaction #and Wolfwood's grief always hit me in a particular way #and how he never responded to Amelia when she asked him if he followed Vash's principles #and the glasses #oh the glasses #to see the world from his point of view #Anywho #I love Badlands Rumble #It has a special place in my heart

yeah i havw to be totally honest people acting like DID is such a hardset 'everyones a persecutor protector little caregiver etc' did somuch fucking damage to me LMFAO. i get that thesw labels can be useful for some people i aslo use them as shorthand wehn i need to but like mannnn... learning not to relegate my alters to wahtever i expect from them and just letting them do their own shit has been a lot easier and healthier for me tbh.

#no disrespect to those who find these terms gneuienly helpful we all experience it differently #but from my personal experiences i found taht using these labels limited us really badly #adn made us feel obligated to fulfill these roles rahter than these being roles that we naturally existed as #just letting us be whateever has led to an improved existecne. though that coincided w therapy so maybe that helped too

The bad thing about this au that if i wanna assign every single main villain as one of the smg4 character then i have to watch Shrek 3 and i am not ready for that

#he's a prince and I'm an Ogre #seriously i have no clue what that movie was abot #what was prince charming motivation??? #I remember there was ogre babies and theater scene where it kills prince charming #plus Arthur #and that is #I never liked shrek 3 #I always liked Shrek 2 #its my top fav #3 is at the bottom #id rahter watch shrek forever after 10 times than shrek 3 once #but as Lord Farquaard said #thats a sacrifice i am willing to make #at this point in time i have no clue who would be prince charming #thats why i need to watch it

I’ll be like “I love u ur my friend” and bad will be like “hmm instead of saying I love you back what if I dropped a couple thousand words of fic that rip you open from gut to sternum and splay ribs to leave your heart exposed”

And then I’ll say “I value how you listen to me” and she’ll share writing that makes me want to commit arson and tear bricks from the walls and turn glass to dust with my fingers

How am I friends with so many people who will crawl into a tree when I tell them they make my life brighter but then throw back things so profound and gorgeous I worry my heart is going to collapse from the ache- HOW. ITS NOT JSUT BAD ITS ALL OF THEM. IT KEEPS HAPPENING

Also “why are you posting this” bc it’ll take them a while to see it and I want to be sworn at

#how do I get to be friends- family with so many beautiful people #my partner my best friend my little group of people I visit and talk to every other day #all so insanely and brutally talented #why am I posting this CAUSE I ALSO WANT TO CRAWL INTO A TREE SOMETIMES #RAHTER THAN BURDEN THEM WITH MY ACHEY FEELINGS #I am loved and lucky and reminding myself of that powers my brain #any of my friends who are going ‘this isn’t about me’ yea it is #mark rambles #might delete in the morning but I wanted to write down #when I’m grateful- for when I forget

Louis was extremely passive aggressive and sulking for an ENTIRE DECADE.

This is not to justify what Lestat did, but what Louis was doing was pretty "unjustifiable", too; or at least, extremely violent in its own way. But then how to account for the fact that Lestat started lying to Louis even BEFORE Claudia went mad and huffed off. And, as far as we know, did not apologise, or to reaffirm his love for Louis, somehow, except to say he has needs that Louis should consider maybe satisfying them....

They felt seen by each other. Then they ignored each other. Then they decided to destroy each other because apparently each found the other still too visible.

I know i’ve been dragging stp for the soap opera thing, but in general i am queasy on the entire construction of this for actual genuine reasons. I am an outspoken hater of any kind of bullshit pregnancy trope because bullshit pregnancy tropes Always Always Always in some way negatively effect the pregnant one, so, you know, it always negatively affect the mother’s character (bc main stream media) while the dad just gets to go angst somewhere and Develop. 

I mean, this is better than some kind of mystical pregnancy trope crap, there’s no lack of bodily autonomy here in this plot which i am genuinely thankful for, but uhm, for the plot we Have been given they basically threw about 5 different reasons she got pregnant and didn’t tell Picard about it on a wall to see if they stick like spaghetti, no matter what it makes her look like, no matter how absurd any of this is, no matter if some of the reasons listed were proven false by the last two seasons of the same Show this is happening in. 

Like, did she really deserve this? Can’t have an adult conversation with the man she’s sleeping with? Can’t set boundaries and just runs away instead? Ditches her entire life and (found) family rather than just... Communicate? 

I know i’m not a tng expert here, and I don’t claim to be, but it’s not like i’ve not seen it and really, the biggest thing i recognise from her character is her Voice. 

And frankly? This is because they were just looking for a convenient uterus for jean-luc to knock up, had jack shit to do with Beverly. They'd have written this the Exact same way no matter who carried the kid. 

That these two are a popular fandom ship and an acknowledged shoulda-woulda-coulda ship in the narrative is just convenient. But none of this shit is about Beverly. This is all entirely about Picard no matter how detrimental it is to anybody else. Beverly is reduced to an incubator to develop Jean-Luc’s??? What??? Exactly??? 

His ability to be a father? Well, if you’re a believer in that only biological kids are your family then frankly i think all that they had Beverly do already shot That concept in the foot. And like, they can still move forward with that relationship from now, but what Exactly does how Picard reacts to a sudden Adult son who doesn’t actually need him say about him??? Not a lot, tbh. It doesn’t actually force him to change his behaviour to keep him safe bc Jack quite clearly doesn’t need that kind of protection. it doesn’t force him to skip a mission to stay with his kid bc he’s been retired for years sans a few personal projects (one of which was actually Q meddling and he didn’t even choose it. 

And if you are a believer in found family, which is what Trek IS really, then Picard has already demonstrated fatherly affection to a great many characters and it’s already said a great deal about him. He’s fucked up sometimes, often in fact, his interactions with children are quite often portrayed up as a negative with him, he’s bad at it, he dehumanises them under the monolith of Children and doesn’t always remember they’re all individual People (which is what that scene with baby elnor and him was saying), and Hilariously this wasn’t actually on the list of reasons Beverly didn’t fill him in. Fab. I’d have actually taken that one at face value. 

But i digress, the man Has shown fatherhood. He was fatherly with Elnor and Agnes. It DID show things about his character!!!! The idea that to show this man in a context of fatherhood requires co-opting some woman’s uterus to cook up a secret love child is absurdist and goes against any found family ethos there IS, and the reason we like our trek show families is because they are found families. A few of them include pseudo parental relationships, and in a few of those, picard has been cast as dad already. 

You Already showed me how Picard would be as a parent to an adult. I don’t need you to do it again with biology because apparently this matters more, and i certainly don’t need to see it in such a way that screws over the first convenient woman of child bearing age you thought of. 

so yeah. it’s a soap opera. But i am actually angry for real reasons that aren’t petty. Beverly is more than convenient mom no.1. Didn’t need that scene with the Deanna holo, either, really. Because now even Her uterus is being brought into Picard’s sudden love child story to tell us something about the old man. 

I have seen Picard be dad like. I do not need biology for this. Not only is this plot insulting, but it’s also unnecessary to boot. And I know tng is touch and go with the women in it, but can we have moved on from that by 2023? No? apparently not.

#that picard one #picard spoilers #i am not a fan of baby stories in my media Because they're usually bad #like damn i don't have a Thing against the concept of my ships having kids #it's just the people writing it are generally terrible at it and i'd rahter thye didn't #*rather they #(the bc mainstream media was a comment on the lack of inclusivity btw #i use non gendered language around pregnancy but in Media it's a trope that is misogynistic bc it's not like #they're inclusive u know?)

[thebestestdancers]

yk nnot to be That Dyke but this was an inevitablw outcome of letting all those "lesbians can fuck men butch is just a girl with short hair if you like men you can still say dyke adn transmen are all inherently lesbians too" radinclus types run sso rampant and unchallenged. so whiel this kind of take is annoying and obvisouly just as misled and homophobic as thw things these people have been sayng abt lesbians for years you also dont have anyone to blame but yoruselves for lettng this kind of "every single label on earht is flexible and sayng otherwise makes you just as bbad as an oppressor" sentiment spiral so far. we wouldnt see dogshit takes liek this if back in like 2020 we all colectively bullied bi lesbians is all im sayng

#d slur #but youd all rahter die than gaf abt lesbians so. #hi evryone! welcoem to the 'my identitys been demolsihwd by overinclusion to the point of meaninglessness' club! #pull up a chsir happy to have you here ^_^.

Silent Reading, chapter 17. I just really like priests descriptions of the city:

The night had turned sultry without any warning; the summer heat was oppressive. Birds occasionally hurtled daringly through the sea of cars, almost skimming the ground, hinting that a rainstorm was about to strike.

Friday’s evening rush hour regularly lasted longer than usual, but luckily this was the last day of the traffic restriction. The city center was warming up for the weekend. The enormous outdoor Skyscreen unfolded, dazzling the eye with its scrolling LEDs. These nighttime lights relentlessly pursued all the people coming and going and crossed over the wide road to flash over Luo Wenzhou’s car, ceasing hostilities only when he had thoroughly wound his way into the complicated streets of the West District.

#silent reading #lb #also the canteen shrimp scene just happened and book wise? its great setup of the characters as equally intelligent #cause fei du is on luos thought processes but also Smart enough to notice either #luo is hiding info or luos made a mistake. its just a good foreshadowing of: theyll make good crime solving partners #and rhen also how they fight but luo tries to be patient as rhe bigger man lmao. and fei du will reign in #himself too if luo does first. #i do think tho. the show justice in the dark did this scene way more romantic tho #without luos narrative pov insulting fei du xonstantly lmao #the show comes off much fonder #of course. ohe could argue luo is lying to gimself like zhou zishu lies about hating wen kexing #rahter than being intrigued. #but luo comes off as self aware and honrst to himself. so i tend to believe his narrative pov as his #genuine thoughts most of the time

Having difficulties walking in a straight line got me thinking about the list of other "extremely likely" (more than 1 in 10 patients) side effects to my treatment. One of them is "hallucinations". I cannot emphasise how much I wish they'd told me what kind. All kinds? Visual? Auditory? Other??? Are we pretending it's not a big deal????

#^i've had auditory hallucinations before #they freaked me the fuck out #so like. i'd rahter know what's coming for me #because i didn't like feeling paranoid
