#Someone I care about very VERY much does

[revenantghost]

I somehow managed to go into Trimax with no spoilers as to who Razlo was and MAN that was a good twist, hats off to you Nightow for making this fun little mystery

#TrigunBookclub #I know he shows up in this volume but #It's early in the week so I won't spoil it #Also I don't have the disorder myself but #Someone I care about very VERY much does #So I've done quite a lot of research to support that person as best I can #And have a bit of knowledge #And while it falls into some early tropes that is a bit tiring #Overall it's such wildly thoughtful rep for an action-based seinen??? #I think about this example specifically when I talk about how much Nightow seems to know about trauma #Because like??? #My dude must have HUNTED for information when this was being published to get this right #Even if he happened to have it like #It's not exactly the most realistic #But it's so much more thoughtful than MOST rep #Idk I just think Razlo's Neat #Especially given the era he was written and the obvious thought put into him #Between him and Elendira just #Man #MAN!!!! #Anyway

Let's pretend he just sported a different hair style for a brief moment. #I am not exactly great at consistency but I am trying very hard to work on that (immediately messes up again). #Absolutely *love* how Wen Ning clearly remembers and admires WWX...who does *not* recognize him. #This is the best day for Wen Ning and it means *nothing* to WWX. A painful one-sided crush made worse. #It is bittersweet to realize that we care about someone more than they care about us. Sometime we pour love into a relationship- #-with someone who just can't reciprocate. It isn't always a conscious things either. Some people just aren't aware we care. #And painfully - so painfully - You can't make them aware. No act of kindness or gift or self sacrifice will make someone care about you. #You can martyr yourself for someone and they will continue on unchanged. #I think a lot about the parallels between WN and LWJ. Not foils - just reflections. A theme repeated. #People who give so much of themselves to someone who doesn't have the capacity to give any part of themself away. #I will die on the hill of 'Wen Ning would be the love triangle romance if that trope wasn't being avoided'. #And to be honest - thank the stars above that is the case.

so uh

for 1. most people are gonna take advantage of black friday and wont see your specific niche tumblr post, I hate to say it

2. the us isnt running out of money for war any time soon, so...

3. this is just antisemitism???????? all we need is some (((echoes))) around the us and israel and then I'd have no reason to suspect otherwise from op...............

#why in tf do you think they care that much about getting your money rn and not before in any other war? #does it. mayhaps. have something to do w jewish people being involved now? #our tax dollars go to the govt regardless and has been for years and we already have an obscene amount of funding for military shit #preeetty sure they're not concerned about getting a couple hundred tumblr users money... #and also pretty sure one could only believe that if they're paranoid about jewish ppl................. #hard not to put two and two together and figure out op is prolly antisemitic and hopefully they just dont realize it #i say hopefully they dont realize it bc thats better than someone who knows and is pretending to be a leftist still. #if anything this pause happened bc its thanksgiving and biden doesnt wanna think about it over the holidays. thats p much it. #thats the only amount of conspiracy theory im willing to believe in this situation lmao. #but that ^ still assumes that biden has some sort of control over this that he really doesnt #and i dont think netanyahu cares that much about thanksgiving tbr... #it sounds more like to me that op is seeing this from a very american centric pov and assumes everyone celebrates thanksgiving #or cares enough about it to remember the dates.... i dont think this is as planned as op is making it out to be and any insinuation #that it IS planned sounds like conspiracy theory talk to me personally. i dont think biden is hittin netanyahu up and going #'hey thursday is thanksgiving and would be the perfect time to pause so we can (((get peoples money))) out of them #asiftheUSdoesnthaveplentyalready' like i just really dont think that convo is happening lmao.

so much shadow around us. to think we almost missed the light...

So many thoughts about them #theyre both. honestly exactly what the other needs...wyll finding someone who loves him and cares for him deeply despite or perhaps #even because of his very human flaws and wont weigh any expectations that he be this perfect fairytale hero over his head #and astarion finding someone gentle and kind who can help him feel safe to express the compassion he very much still has #but has not been safe to express for so long. #theyd balance each other really really well i think... #wyll really does need someone who wont levy expectations he cant live up to over him...who wouldnt care whether he can live up to the image #hes made for himself. of this perfect hero that he definitely feels like hes got to live up to and in a lot of ways Does. #but he still cant help the fact hes ultimately human. and thats okay... #i have a lot of thoughts about both of them in general actually 😭..........individually and together... #i think they also find solace in the fact they both feel like monsters despite that not. actually being true. some of their interactions #esp in an origin run for both of them feel that way already...wyll is also weirdly into the vampire stuff fsr its so funny shdfgjfkdk #anyway. gay people. i love them...

ten

#i have series 4 on my computer now. but i have not started it. i am scared of it. #tenth doctor #dr who #ten is so he is soooooo. god. the doctor is so very defined by his loneliness. how he outlived everyone he cared abt #and what i love so much about nine is that you see him growing closer to rose. letting himself be happy #and post-timewar and losing all of his people (and blaming himself/being responsible for it?) that's so important for him to have #ten is like the opposite of this. he was created out of nine's love and sacrifice for rose. his personhood is basically defined by it #so you have his memories of losing his people in the timewar clashing with his inherent need to Be Next To Someone. #so losing people just breaks him. even after nine (ten? does timewar doctor count?) previous lifetimes of seeing death #when i saw ten's wiki blurb w him being described as one of the most human doctors. after watching christmas invasion i was like. 'what' #But Now I Know. they were talking about how he feels grief and pain so acutely. in a way a human might and not a 900y/o near immortal alien #10 era

happy mochizuki monday, have a little doodle i made based on a convention i went to this past weekend :)

#persona 3 #ryoji mochizuki #minato arisato #lizzy does art #as u can see i went as ryoji. because he's my favorite guy and i love to represent him. #but also i kind of regret it because oof. ima be real guys #ryoji mochizuki would not survive hawaii weather AT ALL it was like 27c 💀 #anyway i was very thrilled to see that someone went and cosplayed minato...! #i have to say it was. so funny taking a picture with them and then making a drawing based on it because like #im an ant. as you can see. like. minato being taller than ryoji is lowkey cursed #i also saw sumi with joker (metaverse fit) + some guy wearing the yasogami high uniform... #there wasn't that much persona (as in three. there was plenty of five) but i did get a nice print of sees :D #and i got to walk around artist alley with some of my friends which made me really happy!! i love friend shrimp.... #i wish i got to spend more time there but oof the heat got me beat 💀 #but seriously though i cant stress enough how nice it was to spend time with friends i think hanging out with people is so swag... #i hope everyone can make positive and fun memories with people they care about :) happy mochizuki monday!! #i think about ryoji and minato 24/7 and i cant wait to draw them more again u have no idea how much i missed them... #they make drawing so fun for me they're the most guys ever <3

when you're the main character's little brother and doomed by the narrative because the author decided that the cult trauma wasn't enough. rip aaron

#ts4 render #aaron #aaron is a curious case as a character because i think in the very first thing i wrote about aiden and sam #aaron was not a nice person he was still in the cult and aiden and aaron never had a good relationship #but aiden still felt guilty about you know. leaving aaron at the cult because aiden still recognizes that aaron is just mimicking their #parents etc etc #then i think i changed it so that aaron and aiden did have a good relationship but aiden did leave aaron at the cult #so then he very understandably feels guilty about that but the thing is aaron is. dead in this version too #so aiden very much feels responsible for aaron's death and he also theorizes that the people in the cult literally killed aaron #which i'm pretty sure wasn't actually the case but aiden's like trying to find someone other than himself to be angry at. you know #and THEN came the versions where aaron does run away with aiden #but now aaron instead dies under aiden's care and their relationship is like pretty complicated before aaron's death #mostly because of aiden's addiction so aiden very much feels responsible for aaron dying. so yeah

[isthatafuckinggayangel]

Y’all ever think about the implication when Sam tells Darlin’ he’ll be there “as long as you’ll have me”?

The undertone of “I’m just waiting for you to decide being with me is too much”, of “you’ll change your mind about me eventually”

The insecurity there, no matter how small it may seem. He thinks him being a vampire is eventually going to bring them to leave him, be it from trauma or them aging while he remains the same

#obviously I know the way he intends it to mean #but that undertone just will not leave my brain #and I think it adds so much to him as a character #that particular phrasing says a LOT about him and how he feels about himself #his disdain for being something he never wanted to be because it was forced onto him #and while he could never regret his relationships with his friends and his mate there’s still something nagging at him because of what he is #he strikes me as someone who’s very careful about his wording so he’s not misconstrued #so that phrasing just. does something to my brain #anyway #I love Sam so much #sam collins #redacted sam #redacted audio #redacted sam collins

[shouldprobablybereading]

Hot take of the day is that I think sanderson not letting adolin murdering sadeas have any real consequences killed like 95% of interesting debate on the morality of it

#it serves some narrative point on some character arcs #but it could have been so much more interesting than sanderson made it #like right now it’s just kinda pointless #to talk about #nobody cares about sadeas so it’s not emotional #and the closest we can get to a philosophical debate is adolin and dalinar being kinda awkward about it #which again would have been interesting if anything actually came out of it #but it didn’t #now it’s just a question of whether you should be allowed to take the law into your own hands like that #which I think could be very interesting if we took a look at the power position adolin holds #as highprince and heir etc. #should he be allowed to make that type of decisions #sadeas was an asshole but how does this play into how he solves other conflicts #if not for his dad and cousin being the ones in charge would someone else be treated differently #this type of thing was exactly why people didn’t want to work with the alethi to begin with #what are the political implications #blah blah #even if saying ‘yeah it was right it was necessary and sadeas sucked’ #it would have been more interesting if there was anything to compare it to rather than just #‘well now we don’t have to deal with sadeas anymore that’s convenient’

I'll be honest, the WOF fandom should embrace Snowfox and Snowflake as semi-villanous lesbians that are hopelessly devoted to eachother and would kiss while watching their enemies burn. They're scheming, a bit selfish and would wage war on an entire tribe for this one thing one of them did that wasn't even her fault but they're so in love about it. Medeval european royal court-eque love story. Stop being pussies and appreciate some awesome antagonists, don't try to make them good or cry about how it's bad representation to have sappic villans in a story that literally has plenty of good guys who are queer too. Can't you guys have some fun

#Also for the record I don't consider these two antagonists in the same way that someone like Darkstalker or Queen Scarlet is #A lot of the stuff they did in Runaways is not bad and why they did is very understandable but also they do not care about Foeslayer at all #And Snowfox does ultimatly ends up wanting to kill the Nightwings which is objectivly bad #They very much are antagonists but not on the same level as these two #WOF #Wings of fire #If the warrior cats fandom got someone like them they'd never shut up about it #They'd be like million maps about them so why aren't there any here? #Snowfox #Snowflake #Snowfox wof #Snowflake wof #Snowsnow #Foxflake #Idk how their ship name is called #Icewing

last post complaining about genshin's writing for the month Anyway i think blorbofication happening in canon is the best way i could describe a lot of the problems i have with it ex. kaeya's relationship with diluc (or klee) is almost the only focus we get on him now, other than his brief appearance in the sumeru archon quest which was just saying his backstory basically with very little actual reaction or characterization on his part OR dainsleif's (also a problem i have in the albedo homunculus reveal in shadows amidst snowstorms). i haven't done his hangout because i. don't care enough to sit through an hour for each route with the quality of content hoyoverse puts out but looking at the ending options i feel like. they missed the opportunity to expand on things we already had for kaeya in favor of Oh he babysits klee! Oh albedo is here! Spend money to pull albedo!Venti cameo! What do you mean him and amber have a complicated dynamic. What do you mean he's apparently beloved by the elderly of mondstadt and the one who wraps up all the incidents there. What do you mean bennett trusts him as an omniscient big brother according to his official cn character profile. We made him talk to diluc again isn't that enough kaeya for you? and it sucks because kaeya feels like a rubik's cube with an onion's layers and like one of their best character personalities in content where he's actually kaeya and not just diluc's brother who is sad and also pretty! we never see anything about his relationship with jean, who he is the Most Trusted Aide of, or mondstadt at large! because every day we get closer to fanon kaeya being canon kaeya and it's just. You can have canon kaeya and fanon kaeya will follow but if fanon kaeya is at the forefront you're just immediately losing all that depth and it's going nowhere

#MAKE KAEYA MORE THAN A GUY WHO PLAYS TCG AND BABYSITS KLEE PLEASE I BEG YOU #he doesn't have to Stop playing tcg or babysitting klee even. i think that adds a lot to him actually. I just think pretending the rest of #him Isn't There is the problem #the reason for him being in sumeru is. Super flimsy to me #just because why is diluc having the knights supervise his wine deals #but i think the hangout routes of him acting in that play...ALSO feel very actual kaeya #from someone who's skimmed the dialogue for said hangout routes at least #acting in a whole play making a show then slipping away right at the applause #so those? yeah! but the mondstadt ones? Who cares #oh wow 2 seconds of jean lisa and albedo standing in a room. klee cameo. kaeya does So much for mondstadt we're Told #i would love to be Shown #remind me later to go on a whole tangent about how kaeya & collei's relationship Also got fucked over because holy shit #kaeya was going to Kill Her because he saw her as either a liar or a threat to mondstadt or Something #and then in the event i dont care enough about to remember the name of they have one interaction and its boring #seashell resonance #None of this is cohesive enough to be worth anything but i think about kaeya sometimes and remember that i'm also insane about him

#persona 4 #p4 #persona 4 golden #p4g #yosuke hanamura #hanamura yosuke #but he certainly does it with a lot of consistency and i love that so much #yosuke's not the first person to always include nanako #it makes me extremely soft because i feel like yosuke tries to be inclusive with his friends he doesnt want anyone to feel left out #we see it especially in his interactions with the first years and teddie #on some level he knows that the others are less willing to put themselves out there #thinking about the beach outing where kanji says that he would not have gone yo the beach if it wasnt for yosuke's invitation #anyway in this particular instance I'm just very very weak for yosuke looking out for nanako as well #i mean nanako is super cute (and i say that as someone who doesnt really like kids or kid characters) and everyone loves her (as they should #so in a way yosuke keeping her included is not surprising #but on some level its also just... yosuke being considerate of yu #i mean look at yu's title of siscon kingpin of steel in arena - yu cares very much for nanako #so by extension yosuke does as well #also on a more delulu lvl in p4d rise says she'll give nanako priv dance lessons #because it'll just be her yu and nanako and WOW isnt that just like...

I'll be honest people are being way too trusting of q!BBH right now simply because he said something that was mildly true to q!Tina.

I've seen so many people in chat saying "oh he trusts her, he isn't manipulating her"

Which like, by definition he very much is even if unintentionally.

He isn't telling her the whole truth of his plans and clearly has motivation to get her on his side. There might be a genuine desire for friendship and trusts there but it's tainted by his plan.

Most of what he revealed to her wasn't even that incriminating anyway, it's more of the same thing he told Fred and Tubbo. The whole "i'm grieving and i'm hurting so that's why i'm lashing out" shit.

Even if he's looking out for Tina, I do think he might have some underlying secondary motive behind this interaction.

#q!bbh #q!badboyhalo #bbh #badboyhalo #q!tina #tinakitten #keep in mind i do think him hurting himself is true #bc of how he tried to cover it up #i do think he just wanted to tell that specific truth to someone #however he very much also wants to use tina for his own benefit #even if he does care about her #qsmp

I want to preface this post by saying that I love the cat king as a character, especially one that has such a major impact on Edwin and his relationship with his queerness and learning to be okay with it; HOWEVER, I also believe that everyone that genuinely believes he should be a love interest for Edwin should read this. (Also if you just like the cat king as a character and want to understand his character better and why his and Edwin’s relationship is not something that would be healthy or “real” for either)

#dead boy detectives #edwin payne #the cat king #i do not ship them but I don’t want to hate on those who do (mostly) I just want to kind of inform people of the creators meaning for their #Relationship because I keep seeing people saying they hope they get together in s2 and it’s really confusing to me #Their relationship stems from the cat kings own narcissism and predatory behavior and Edwin’s need for someone to push him into under #Standing that his queerness doesn’t have to be torture and can be something giddy #even if he doesn’t return those feelings #The cat king does like Edwin but he doesn’t know anything about him. He likes the game and then he likes the kindness he’s shown despite #Knowing the cruelty he’s presented to Edwin #Queerness and preformance always go hand in hand #He’s a older secretly insecure character #Edwin is the younger #genuinely kind character that shows him that projecting his hurt will never get him what he wants #It’s about the isolation of queerness and the walls put up and the coping mechanism used to protect yourself even at the risk of hurting #Those just like you. That kiss from edwin was to say “I’m sorry your loneliness had caused you to be cruel. It’s the easiest way to feel. #And while I cannot and will not give you what you want or need #you deserve to feel happy and not like you have to gain the attention of uninterested people #I can’t even explain all my thoughts about their dynamic it’s just so much it’s just about the predadation from older queers because of #The trauma they’ve endured and the cycle of hurt and the way we can break the cycle with kindness while also protecting our youths by #Healing those traumas #Something the cat king learns and accepts #Off topic but I don’t like people defending their age gap because #Yes; Edwin is 86 #but he died with a teenage boy brain and then spent 70 of those years in hell where he certainly was not getting his brain developed while #The cat king has possibly hundreds of years of sentience and experience. The power imbalance is not if y’all. And that part of their dynami #Is actually very clear I think but some people didn’t catch it?? Or didn’t care??? Idk man
