#and his feelings of unworthiness

[tennessoui]

thinking about a soulmate canon au where you find your soulmate via touch and the jedi order is a bit more pious and has a very respectful no touching culture that obi-wan absolutely abides by. meanwhile anakin is raised on tatooine before coming to the temple and he's really used to touch, and it drives him a little insane, that no one touches him casually in the temple but he learns to abide by it as well and follow his master's example

only for him to fall head over heels for padmé as soon as they touch in aotc and he thinks his reactions to her are due to them being soulmates so they get married because padmé doesn't really know what finding her soulmate feels like either, but anakin's touch and attention feels good (and maybe he unintentionally uses the Force to convince her) so they must be soulmates

meanwhile obi-wan saved his padawan's life when he was like sixteen and was knocked unconscious and tossed into an ocean or something so obi-wan gives him mouth to mouth to resuscitate him---and discovers instantly that they're soulmates....but anakin's out cold and doesn't feel it so obi-wan's left alone with the realization that he's some kind of monster, being the soulmate of a child and anakin can never ever ever know.

so canon happens as canon does but with obi-wan knowing and keeping this secret to himself and carefully making sure he never touches anakin while anakin gets all of his touches from his wife and obi-wan watches from afar knowing he can never tell anakin or anyone else

but palpatine works it out and definitely tells anakin once he's Fallen and killed his wife and also been barbecued (by his soulmate), which makes vader obsess with finding obi-wan (more than he is in canon)

and he finally captures him and has the acolytes chain him up in mustafar. vader visits and asks if obi-wan cut off his arms so he couldn't touch him and know, and it's obi-wan's worst fear and biggest regret that anakin finds out they're soulmates, but now he has no control over the situation. not as vader approaches, not as he takes off his helmet, not as vader leans close and brushes what remains of his lips against obi-wan's cheek

and it feels just as good and right and perfect as it did the first and only time they touched, except now obi-wan isn't sure who the monster is. maybe it's both of them

#kit's silly lil aus #obikin #vaderwan #tw: non consensual touching #to be safe but also in my mind its wayyyy dubious and non con touching when vader captures obi-wan #obi-wan's relatively helpless and vader is still a touch starved cat #rubbing their cheeks together because it feels so good to touch his soulmate #but also his soul mate has made it impossible to touch him #what an obi-wan thing to do #obi-wan probably considers (for a brief brief brief moment) #letting anakin die when he first finds out he's his soulmate #but then he could never #but it adds to his guilt about the whole thing #and his shame #and his feelings of unworthiness #etc etc etc #for this to make sense i guess the jedi are also pretty unimpressed with soulmates because of the attachment issues they cause #and that's one of the reasons theyre very no touch #so shame upon shame upon shame for obi-wan here #also imagining Kenobi show era obiwan using himself as a distraction so leia can get away #all he’ll see is me dialed to 300% #with an added all he’ll want to do is rub the remains of his face against my body and say awful mean things that cut me to the quick #but I can take it because k agree with all the mean things

A reminder that Spinner canonically compares himself to Dabi and feels inferior to the rest of the League of Villains.

Part of the reason he allowed AFO to manipulate him is because he wanted to be reliable, as in he wanted to be stronger to be of use to Tomura. So again, he's canonically kinda jealous not only of Dabi's quirk, but of him as a person.

#as much as I'd like to joke about how Spinner is sooo gay for Tomura please acknowledge that this is a critical point in Spinner's character #him feeling unworthy or inferior comes from the discrimination he has faced all his life #he doesn't value himself like he should #and since Tomura is the person who has showed him the most that he matters exactly like he is #Spinner ended up sacrificing everything to save the one friend that has offered to destroy the world for him #AFO did all of that deliberately to break Spinner btw #He saw Spinner's loyalty to Tomura and used it against them #AFO can't allow someone who loves Tomura to be whole and safe #he's like a bad kid with a toy #bnha #mha #my hero academia #boku no hero academia #league of villains #lov #mha spoilers #bnha spoilers #spinner #shuichi iguchi #dabi #touya todoroki #toya todoroki

[cosmiado]

okay im sorry but Hermie is ABSOLUTELY faking his crushes on Scary and Link. he is a goddamn theater kid which means he needs attention more than anything in the world, and that desire more often than not centers around Normal (ESPECIALLY considering "i like you too," which is about attention regardless of whether or not he was lying). literally hes doing the queer high school equivalent of pulling a girl's pigtails at recess by telling Normal about his "crushes" so that Normal will get upset and pay more attention to him. its the same tactic he used with the mascot costume all over again

#banging pots and pans together and screaming my objectively correct (/j) Herm interpretations #HE HATES HIMSELF!!! HE FEELS BAD ALL THE TIME!!! HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE BEING LOVED BUT HE CANT LIVE WITHOUT IT!!!! #GETTING ATTENTION IS THE NEXT BEST THING!!! #thinking about his last moments #he wasn't joking. he wasn't playing into his flirty funny goofy persona #he wasn't asking Scary for a kiss before he went gentle into that good night #he was desperate. he was dying. he needed Normal. surrounded by his beloved uncle and alleged crushes and adults who know more about healing #and he wanted Normal #im having such regular thoughts and emotions guys #dndads #dndads s2 #dndads spoilers #dndads s2 spoilers #normal oak #hermie the unworthy #oakworthy #sophomore slump

CHOOSE UR CHARACTER!

tysm for 100 followers!! i decided to finally solidify my hermie designs and make a fun little reference sheet of sorts w all of them!

(update this is so old now and ive made quite a few changes to my hermie designs since this agkdj)

#i have so many thoughts about how his shapeshifting works #i feel like while hes living w his parents hes naturally able to appear human easily #but after he learns about his true parents he starts slowly losing control over his burned side #and that side starts morphing back into his true demon-likely-creature-thing form #fun fact about me i have a whole timeline list keeping track of every character change hes had #this isnt all of them ofc but yknow #people rarely ever draw him as mr freeze so i was like hm i should make a design for that too #i also like the idea that when he scammed normal he took on the role of scam (hence the hair and coat) #plz tell me what u think/which is ur fave! #i love this fucking character sm its a problem #hermie the unworthy #hermie unworthy #hermie the unworthy fanart #dungeons and daddies #dndads #dndads fanart #my art

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

I've always felt that it'd be Killua who initiates the first hug we see between him and Gon

#i have my reasons for this #i feel like i'm in the minority though... i know gon is honest and much more emotionally expressive #but he's not actually more tactile than killua #i... i actually do think that it's killua who initiates much of the contact between them (fistbumps and poking and hand on shoulder) #if i'm not mistaken anyways #and he's very tactile with alluka and nanika (carrying + hugs + handholding) #granted that's his sister(s) but still. killua is far from touch averse - his getting embarrassed is a cute trait to be sure #but i do think he'll get a bit better at accepting that kind of thing once he's had some time with alluka and nanika #a lot of that does come after all from his feelings of unworthiness - and now that his sisters need open affection after so long being alon #he's going to have to gain at least some comfort with giving and receiving love #gon and mito go for hugs either at the same time or mito initiates. gon hugs leorio in the scene right after he's revived #but idk idk i just feel like he won't be the first to initiate a hug with killua especially since i suspect he still feels quite guilty #i think it would show growth on both their parts. not to mention it'd be very sweet to have gon a bit blindsided + happily surprised #as he's the one typically honest and forthright with appreciation and compliments while killua is. not. lmao #i think he should receive a nice hug from his best friend. and then i think they would both know it's gonna be ok. :') #storyrambles #hunter x hunter #hxh #killua zoldyck #gon freecss #this is so sappy. what's wrong with me. this is what they do to me.

So this:

Leads to this:

Which leads to this:

Which allows vecna to do this:

Right? Right………. So then this:

Leads to this:

Which leads to:

???????????????? 👀👀👀👀👀

Will has had powers.

#will has powers #no - he had powers. he probably displayed them when he got taken in to the upside down. and vecna wanted those powers. so he took them. #this also opens up to the possibility he could get them back somehow. with el it was through memories of her mom when she was born. love. #when she relived her younger self opening the gate for the first time through the power of love #so Will could get his back through strong feelings of love. just saying. #stranger things predictions #stranger things theories #byler #byler tumblr #so the cool kids can find this 😌 #I HAVE ANOTHER THING TO SAY!!! Els powers are strong from negative emotions - hatred. anger. vengeance. #but they’re even more powerful from feelings of love - familial and platonic love (mama. hopper. max. etc) #so if Will did show his powers to vecna (accidentally) when he got taken then those would have been from his most common negative emotion #fear #El is anger. hatred. will is fear. anxiety. #so will will get his powers to their fullest strength only with Love. romantic love. feeling wanted. useful. #familial/friend love was something El needed in her life and she against all odds managed to find it #she got the love she desperately needed and deserved (not romantic like the Melvin’s seem to think) #will has all that in buckets. he has friends who love him. the best mom and brother anyone could wish for. but he feels unworthy of love. #feels like all the bad things that happened to him were deserved. so him receiving and accepting what he desperately needs and deserves #will fully unlock his powers - if he has them. #thank you for coming to my Ted talk

saw a letterboxd review of 2009 hamlet saying they didn't like how hamlet just seemed to be crazy all of the time and i was reminded of when david tennant said this

#literally exactly how IIIIII feel about HIS hamlet like brother i fucking get it #hamlet #not to say hamlet is very rational bc categorically he isnt but like. #if the thing in MY head that told me to be considerate of the ppl around me got switched off i would act + feel extremely similarly to him #and why would hamlet be very considerate of the emotions of the ppl around him if he's being told #that his feelings are unworthy of his status and that he should move on (when ALSO there is a clear injustice happening besides his grief) #not talking abt his sexism that is a WHOLE different beast that changes completely depending on a variety things including his gender #but like his sadness and anxiety and frustration and anger and fear are all very very very familiar to me

[funnysideblog]

Minos' disgust with the minotaur coming partially from it being hideous also kind of reveals a bit about his character and how he would view hell and other people. He does not want to see things which are foul, upsetting and disgusting. What does this say about parts of hell? How he would feel about other husks? How the emotion can cloud his judgement and make him act cruelly. Like yes i agree its a bit yucky and ugly. But. The knee jerk reaction of it is ugly -> it needs to go away -> I cannot stand having ugly things in my world -> i am not thinking about how it would feel about being cast aside into suffering for this. Says a lot about him (or how he used to be!) imo. I know there is other reasons. That may have been on his mind more, but still it was a factor and a reason behind its damnation to violence.

#ultrakill #minos prime #how would he feel about gluttony? it is gross yes. i agree. but. its not his fucking place to say things like that #alternately. how does that affect how he feels about lust? his own city? would he cast aside those he sees as gross? unworthy? #he also had part in creating the leviathan. remember that lol #dont get me wrong i like minos i just disagree with the idea that his judgement is perfect and he always does what is right. yknow hes still #just human. and he is able to have problems like anything else is #ultimately he is not perfect and nowhere near as perfect as he wants people to believe

[raayllum]

You abandoned him. / That's a fancy way of saying they abandoned me.

#callum x claudia #s6 spoilers #arc 2 #like obvs callum had stuff with his own parents #and rayla has hers but like #callum and claudia's abandonment issues are holding hands #really feels like set up for more emotional raydia parallels tbh #'you leave bc you feel so unworthy of anyone sticking around for you'
