Royalty send their kids to Aflea under the assumption that they will get good magic education while also teaching their kids how to be future rulers, completely unaware that all the staff are fucking cartoon characters who choose chaos every time.

#Palladium is brewing illegal poisons in his potions lab #Wizgiz just stole a tree bc he thought it would look nice in the dining hall #Griselda is comically annoyed all the time and carries a clipboard that she will periodically scribble notes down on which scares everyone #Faragonda is faragonda we all know that bitch keeps secrets for fun and probably pops up out of nowhere #DuFour probably has half the library in her classroom and spends most of class talking about nothing of relevance #winx #winx club #winx alfea #winx faragonda #winx palladium #winx wizgiz #winx griselda #this is canon btw. not a rewrite thing #.they all did this anyway the writers just never mentioned it #trust me

btw young royals' central thesis for wille is still "the problem isn't that he likes a boy, the problem is that he's a prince" and people need to remember that

also I was going to put the rest in the tags but yknow what

yes I KNOW he can't realistically abdicate YET, but I'm saying it's the best resolution for him and not just because it would give him and simon an easier time!! if the fandom weren't so caught up in yelling about how the only happy or good ending is wilmon endgame (seperate rant that I texted avie yesterday but not the point of this post) maybe we could have a discussion about wille abdicating would be more for himself than any relationship he may or may not be in.

even if he and simon broke up the source of his problems would still lie PRIMARILY with the monarchy, and removing himself from that would be the first step to HIM recovering and healing and growing, not his relationship w simon. that's a seperate matter and seperate problem that can only be properly addressed after abdication because while he is a prince and part of a corrupted and vicious system, he cannot be a good person to himself, simon, or any of his friends and family.

#trust and believe I am still an endgame truther but it's kinda annoying to see people blatantly missing the point of the show #and what the problems it's trying to depict are simply because it gets in the way of wilmon getting back together #and the whole thing for me does have echoes of amanormativity and the weird mindsets a LOT of people here have #we've been very explicitly shown that being crown prince is destroying every aspect of wille's life in some way!! #and not just the romantic side even though THAT'S what people fixate on the most!! #like I hate to say it but yr is a drama about class and identity before it is a romance #young royals

after a day of contemplation im no longer as much of a hater <3 unraveled you seem.. fascinating

#not looking forward to the keefe inner monolouge still but! #i think the human perspective and potential human characters will be really fun! #and the whole perspective of his emotions slowly numbing sounds cool :) #my first instinct is to be a hater but i think this book has potential actually :) i dont think shannons the type to do a money grab #if she says theres important shit!! theres probably important shit!! #that also adds a new aspect to this because its like. if theres important shit. why didnt keefe tell sophie. #trust issues? sokeefe breakup book 10? #lmao anyway i am going to try and go into this book with an open mind #i think what annoyed me most yesterday was just. the keefe takeover of the series. #i dont really like how the plot has turned toward keefe instead of sophie but i can get over it :) #i dont even really dislike keefe? i just dislike the sheer amount of him in the later books compared to the other characters #i dont dislike sokeefe either! just the amount of it in both books and fandom #but i will get over my hater instincts. i am a lover from now on. #sorry this was rambly. peace and love and unraveled amen. #kotlc

I love reading your kagehina posts!! Sometimes I see stuff like they aren't even friends 😭 and probably drifted apart and partner in sports is different from actual friendship lmao

Thank you!

dfghhjkl yeah i've seen those claims and I firmly believe that anyone who's saying any of that needs to take reading comprehension 101. I've talked about this claim a little bit here but to reiterate, kageyama and hinata's bond- their unique connection, the meaningfulness of it, the way that they support and teach and learn from each other- is one of the core aspects of the series. Like, there were so many instances of people commenting about how special their relationship was that I made a list. This post here I think are also relevant to addressing this. (if you couldn't tell, i talk about this a lot lol. But I don't mind talking about it some more)

Point is, they mean a lot to each other. And yes, haikyuu does make a point of showing how volleyball isn't always a 1 v 1 comparison to irl and how volleyball doesn't have to mean everything to be meaningful but at the same time, that's inapplicable to hinata and kageyama because the other side of that coin is that sometimes, volleyball is everything. It could not possibly be more in your face that Kageyama and Hinata formed an instantaneous connection and became a duo to be feared like overnight because they recognized that the other person is exactly like them- someone who will give everything for volleyball, who will never give up, a person who complements them. and understands them. Kageyama's little backstory moment that changed everything (and fucked me up permanently) is that he's been waiting for (someone like) Hinata his entire life. So what if they're not be hanging out 24/7 outside of volleyball? (which they do hang out outside of matches btw later on in life, kageyama asked hinata to play beach vb with kunimi and kindaichi) They already have a mutual understanding about the importance of volleyball in their lives. Also like, even in the last chapter/panel of haikyuu literally just reiterates that for the two of them, volleyball and each other and intrinsically intertwined elements and that they intend on revolving around each other as partner/rivals for the rest of their lives.

If we're looking only at the anime, that list i linked above is entirely taken from season. Like, the the sheer weight of kageyama "i can spike, toss, etc by myself" tobio saying the words "as long as you're with me, you're invincible" like 1-2 episodes later?? This bullshit where kageyama extracts a promise from hinata to follow him to the top of the world still happens in the anime too. That bit in the first Seijoh match where Kageyama says that Oikawa's going to set to Iwaizumi, not because it's the most logical move but because he trusts him so innately that it's the most natural move to make and then going on to make the exact same set to Hinata in the same match?? The extra animated linger on Kageyama and Hinata's fingers touching as they stop the Miya's quick? Oikawa and Atsumu both saying that Kageyama's "wrapped around Hinata's finger"?

Like come on now, does this look like two people who are going to drift apart? Be for real. They're too obsessed with each other to do that.

#asks #haikyu #brotp: someone even better #i looked through my blog for this and realized that i talk about hq a lot #i didn't even get to the post i was looking for because i got too annoyed by how long it was taking #kagehina #haikyuu!! #anyways morons that think these two idiots are going to drift apart are a whole different species that i don't understand #like even if you're too dumb to figure out hq's themes like #when have they ever acted anything less than totally obsessed with each other #vol 1 /season 1 literally hits you over the head like its soo painfully obvious that they're fated soulmates or whatever #even without like kageyama taking literal offense to people not being enchanted by hinata or how his best move favorite move the one time h #s not flawless his most readable move is #that in a pinch he sets to hinata #and its a set that transcends faith #or trust #anyway i love getting asks i def love getting hq asks #thank you anon! #oh extra little addition: during their promise when kageyama asks will you stand on the same stage as me in the future #because he wants hinata at his side!! #for the longrun!! #they make me want to chew concrete

Hello! I saw your thing about diegetic vs non-diegetic BDSM, during which you mentioned Bonding. Assuming you meant the Netflix show of two seasons, may I ask what your issues with it were? I'm relatively new to the world of kink and Bonding felt like a fun show to me, but I'm always happy to be educated in what is good representation in media!

so I want to start by saying that my opinion on the show is not some kind of objective moral stance or particularly coherent, I just didn't like it and it rubbed me the wrong way. and there were some fun moments but for me it wasn't worth wading through all the unfun stuff to get to them.

the first thing that made me very "eeehhhh" about it was that it came off from the start as poorly researched, and written primarily by people who aren't involved in the community at all. both because of the absolutely baffling aesthetic choices (why. why is there a white shag carpet in a dungeon. why is there any carpet in a dungeon but especially why is there a wall to wall white shag carpet. who's cleaning that every day) and because of the general framing/tone. the show seems to be saying that it's trying to humanize kink and give a realistic/positive portrayal of the community, but it portrays all the pro domme main character's clients as weird/pathetic/awkward for their preferences and the audience is pretty clearly meant to laugh at them. even going into the second season, when they were trying to backpedal after the backlash they got from the first one, they have this tendency to fall back on this othering look-at-these-freaks subtext even while the text is trying to say the opposite. and everyone is so intensely catty and judgemental toward each other and while of course you can find people/social groups like that, it's very much the opposite of what I've personally experienced overall. most of the people I know will absolutely fall over themselves to help and give advice to newcomers and make them feel welcome.

and you absolutely could make a comedy/drama centered around kink without resorting to treating it like a freak show. funny shit happens all the time and this is an objectively ridiculous hobby. it's just that the way they approached it in Bonding always felt vaguely disingenuous and mean-spirited to me.

part of it is definitely also that I just don't like shows where all the characters are just kind of dicks. and most of the conflicts could be avoided if literally anyone would stop choosing to be a dick for no good reason and communicate. that's a big pet peeve for me with any show.

#an iffy first season doesn't make or break a show #trust me I've borne the burden of convincing people that black sails gets good if you stick with it for many years now #but the problem is that for this show 'better' ended up meaning 'annoying in a different way now' #there actually is technically some carpet in the place I usually go to #but it's the super short office type carpet and there are rules about putting down sheets wherever you're gonna play #and shit like waxplay/bloodplay/watersports is mostly banned #and most of the space has hardwood floors

vent ig. but it’s a pain realizing over and over that hardly anyone prominently in my life is really gonna take me as serious as i take everyone else serious. people will shit themselves over adults let alone older teens enjoy something childish in a childish way despite being obsessed with nostalgia and shit like that. it fucking pisses me off. i don’t mind growing up but I get so sad realizing that my irl friends and family will never take me serious or accept that I wanna be weird and childish even as an adult now. like. it’s so fucking heartbreaking. why is the world like this. I fear I might be the biggest over thinker but it’s still true enough that it bothers me this much (however I trust online pals. you guys get it)

#vent #letting this out rly helped me feel better tho #i always want people to feel like the things they love are amazing and their creativity is inspiring #like if you still like playing with toys fucking do it #other lame people will judge and be nasty cause they’re too fucking uncreative and boring to find joy out of anything #like trust me I’ve seen the lives of the people that are annoying like that and they’re soooo boring #like it’s frankly embarrassing #so live your life how you want to and make the most of it #if doing that is playing with lps or webkinz and watching pbs kids and all that do it #i love you for that do all that for me please

maybe my toxic workplace trait is that I'm a snob about tea, but one day my director poured some tapwater in a carton gobelet over a lipton teabag and microwaved it for one minute before handing it to me so actually I'm the traumatized one here and they should give me a kettle with a thermometer and a triple 3-5-8 minutes hourglass as legal compensation

#I was organizing my tea samples and it made me remember #I only use the most expensive most delicious tea brands out there #do you know how hard it is not to say anything when you watch your coworker actually bring the water to a boil? #I'm the annoying colleague who talks about the differences in chocolate and pepper taste by brand and country of origin #I'm not a snob I swear I'm just very into foods tasting the best they can ever taste #why would you settle for a food you could easily make better #people need to live a little #I'll keep sharing my delicious teas but I'm brewing them myself not giving them out I don't trust like that #babbles blabbles

much as I enjoy talking about, say, the reasons I think that Lucille seeming attracted to Edith was intentional, I sort of feel bad for for people who feel the need to defend their shipping choices with essays pointing out every single canon detail that could conceivably be interpreted as support

if someone demands that you justify a ship you like, “what are you, a cop?” is a perfectly appropriate response

#fandom #shipping #trust me; I was in the trenches of the Once Upon A Time fandom #shipping wars are never worth the time and energy #fandom should be fun. not a battle #(on the flip side I am begging people to let go of their need to be The Most Rightest when it comes to ships) #sometimes your ship just IS totally unsupported by canon. and that's okay! #but constantly trying to convince everyone else that it was Totally What THe Creators Meant All Along is just going to annoy people #let others ship things you don't feel canon supports. admit when canon doesn't support your ship #characters are fake and we're all just here to have a good time

‘ohh this animal isnt really cool or interesting, because people have heard of it’ well sorry you cant appreciate both popular and unpopular animals but im different

#one of the most annoying things about following animal bloggers #where its like i would love to learn more about your favorite obscure insects or whatever #but its so annoying when its obviously like. ‘oh i hate mammals because everyone loves them’ theres so many cool underappreciated mammals #like you dont have to have an interest in stuff you dont care about or blog publicly about it #but you also dont have to like. performatively shit on it. it just makes me take you way less seriously #especially when its a super broad category like ‘an entire massive group of animals’ #i need a text post tag #negative #also yeah its their blogs they can say whatever nbd. it just makes me annoyed and trust their judgement on animal facts less #complaining because im waiting for my mom to use the bathroom so i can take my shower #shes having a political argument with my uncle. i want to get off mr bones wild ride

anyways if going “i think i’m annoying. i should simply stop thinking i’m annoying” isn’t working out for you, consider going “i think i’m annoying. i can use this for comedy”. if mentally removing the properties from yourself isn’t something you’re capable of, shifting your perception of the properties can be helpful. maybe it’s funny to be a little annoying. people love when cats are a little annoying. everyone who’s ever had a sibling knows that being a bit of a dick can be extremely funny. and beyond that, surrounding yourself with people tolerant of flaws as small as “occasionally acts in a way that i personally find superficially unpleasant”, who will instead celebrate those aspects of you, will be helpful in the long run for your mental health. what’s really so bad about being a little annoying? it means you willing to put yourself out there and have people around you who, more often than not, enjoy you being at 200%. something something “strengths and weaknesses are just based on perception”. are you annoying, or are you earnest? are you rude, or are you direct? are you strong-willed and independent, or are you incapable of asking for help and self-destructive? are you sweet and friendly, or are you conflict-avoidant? the truth is, you’re always both, depending completely on the situation. so be a littleb bit annoying. it’ll be fun.

#shut up me #gonna schedule this midday thought for later this week #just something i was thinking about. there’s being hospitable and there’s being a pushover. where the line is is completely a personal choic #same with self-assured and bossy. with personable and overly-chatty. with suspicious and reserved. #the kindest interpretation and most bad faith interpretation can be leagues apart at times #even that! is someone assuming good faith or making excuses? trusting the audience to understand or failing to communicate? #such is life. be a bit annoying on purpose. then others won’t be as afraid of doing it on accident #if you’re silly and having fun then people around you will go ‘oh. so if i seem silly itll still be okay’ #anyways. time to queue this and forget abt it until a week from now

But it's interesting - why did we make those cuts?

Well, we might say that we made them out of respect for our reader. By asking that series of questions ("Why is it meaningful for Jane to sit on a couch?" and so on), we were serving as a sort of advance man for a reader we are assuming to be a smart person, of good taste, a person we wouldn't want to bore.

Consider this passage:

Entering the restaurant, Jim saw his ex-wife, Sara, sitting closely beside a man who looked to be at least 20 years younger than her. Jim couldn't believe it. It was shocking to see Sara with someone so much younger than her, younger than Jim too, since he and Sara were the same age, so shocking that Jim dropped his car keys.

"Sir," the waiter said, "you dropped these," and handed Jim his car keys.

You may have noted your needle dipping into the N zone in there somewhere, maybe a couple times (a dip and then a subdip?).

Now consider this edited version:

Entering the restaurant, Jim saw his ex-wife, Sara, sitting beside a man who looked to be at least 20 years younger than her.

"Sir," the waiter said, "you dropped these," and handed Jim his car keys.

So, what just happened? Well, I cut "Jim couldn't believe it. It was shocking to see Sara with someone so much younger than her, younger than Jim too, since he and Sara were the same age, so shocking that Jim dropped his car keys."

The difference in the two versions is that the latter version has more respect for you, the reader, built into it. The ideas "Jim couldn't believe it" and "It was shocking" are contained in the action of Jim dropping his keys. I made the leap of faith that you'd assume Jim and Sara to be about the same aid. And process, I've saved myself and you thirty-seven words - about half the total length of the original bit...

A story is a frank, intimate conversation between equals. We keep reading because we continue to feel respected by the writer.

Doodles of my Dreamtale AU (first mentioned here but I have lots more updated art posted) because it has a hold on me again and I just scrapped practically the entire story lol.

Also here's a possible adult Papyrus design. If Sans gets extra appendages and a fucked up eye, so does Papyrus. I don't make the rules lmao.

This au's story got so big and so messy and I really haven't been able to find a way to put it all together in a way I'm satisfied with, so the story is going to be much closer to the og undertale story with a lot of stuff reworked in the setting and with certain characters' stories and whatnot.

#Now that I'm looking at Sans' design again those shoes look goofy as hell. #It's fitting with his character but I'm most likely going to change that now that I've noticed it. #It is a shame that the other story is such a mess that I have no idea how to clean up. I had some good stuff in there #One idea I was particularly proud of was Papyrus using an army of whoopie cushions to get Sans to remember his humor after he's “corrupted” #That was actually the idea that led to the “Gaster = Fart Master” discovery. I even have a timestamp of the realization bc I stopped typing #Then I didn't come back to that doc for like a week LMAO #Another involved Papyrus carrying the Annoying Dog with him into battle. I was laughing so hard writing the details of that one down #Maybe I'll make the previous story a secondary au or smth if I can figure out how to make it all fit the way I want it to #idk what I'll do with it but maybe I'll figure smth out #To give you a hint of how big it got. that story has multiple google docs. One of them is 20 pages single spaced #That's not even mentioning the notes app and the fact that I didn't even write all of it down. #I wish I was joking. I tismed so hard. Trust me. It was too much lmao #doodles #dreamtale au #dreamtale #nightmare sans #papyrus #undertale #utdr art #undertale au #toriel #frisk #chara #asriel #flowey #my au #my art #mine
