I love sashisu because they all very much love each other and are best friends but the shoko erasure is so blatant that it makes for a very interesting dynamic. Like yeah obviously she was part of everything that happened. Not that any of them would realise if you asked them though.

#shoko included btw. shes like yeah im not getting involved in whatever those two have going on <- literally already involved #this isnt talking bad abt sashisu btw. i love sashisu. i think theyre so so interesting #like theyre so questionable! they love each other! none of them have Actually Spoken to one another in 10 years! #me when i was there too idiot #ik theres jjk takes where shoko isnt as important to stsg/just there to be the lesbian friend and i hear those takes! #and reject them immediately. #look i just rlly love shoko and i think sashisu are soo cool and fun and horrible and queerplatonic #but its time to recognise that all three of them (and also canon and also the fandom) are making shoko smaller/less important than she is #we have all that stsg drama and shoko (there for it) just goes yeah okay. bye i guess. #god i just love them.. trio of all time fr... its very late so this probably doesnt make sense but whateverrrr #gojo satoru #getou suguru #geto suguru #ieri shoko #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #sashisu #sss trio #stormy in here #theyre my faves..

"I don't really give a damn about the way you touch me when we're alone"

"You're ashamed of me." Remus' voice is barely there but it's cold and unfamiliar. Sirius stops in the corridor and all of a sudden it's darker, the scars on Remus' skin glimmer in the low light. No one wrote a book on this, because if they did, Sirius would know. All that occupies his mind is this condition. It feels like a restraint around him, like a tough pill to swallow. Sirius still sees Remus, he still sees the quiet moments they've shared, he still feels his hands on his skin. What he can't help, however, is seeing his shadow in the shape of a wolf.

"You can hold my hand if no one's home."

Sirius reaches for his hand yet Remus makes no move towards him. "I could say the same to you. But I don't. I won't." He's still, illuminated in the lamp light, breathing heavily. “Only one of us is a monster, Remus. And it’s not you.” Rationally, Sirius knows the moon is only days away, that this is so much harder for Remus than it would ever be for him. This time it hangs over both of them. Remus’ footsteps echo away from Sirius. Sirius can’t help but feel like it’s unfair.

"Do you like it when I'm away?"

Sirius feels on edge the whole of the full moon. He sits by the window the whole night, praying for a glimpse or a howl. Something, anything to indicate that Remus, his Remus, was okay. He knows it’s one night. One night, twelve times a year. The condensation from his breath pearls on the glass, illuminated by the moonlight. Sirius feels like the moon is mocking him - I’ll always have him in a way you never will. And Sirius should feel guilty. He really should. But Remus is his, wolf be damned.

"If I went and hurt my body, baby, would you love me the same?"

Sirius wakes up at sunrise. He doesn’t know when he drifted off to sleep but he knows Remus will be back. So he runs. Remus is asleep, caressed by soft sheets he knows Madam Pomfrey has transfigured. He’s lightly bruised and a stitched up laceration graces his left forearm. Sirius can’t help but think he’s beautiful. Sirius always thinks Remus is beautiful. Radiant. Like the moon. He crawls into the bed, jostling Remus awake. He blinks slowly up at the other boy. Sirius holds his breath. Remus concedes. He always does with Sirius. He pulls him in by the waist, and they sleep. Silly boy. He thinks this is what he wants, but he does not understand how it will hurt.

#harry potter #marauders #i couldn’t stop thinking of them and this song #sirius black #remus lupin #wolfstar #im mr loverman #AND I MISS MY LOVER MAN #that is not this song but still applicable #sirius finds out about the wolf thing #remus is tired #remus is scared of rejection #remus is angry and i think more people should characterize him that way but this is a discussion for later #this is not my best work #but i digress #it is out of my system #i also think sirius doesn’t have to be immediately approving of the wolf thing??? #they are both young it’s a lot to digest

ok but the fact that "aziraphale is softening. they haven't spoken in a hundred years: he's realizing they're still friends" and "there's no need to thank me that's what...friends...are for" was in the same night is making me go INSANE

#we NEED to talk more abt the 1941 ep im so serious im not normal about it like i had such high expectations and it suppressed them all. #am i disappointed there wasn't a rejection scene like i predicted?? yes ofc but also aziraphale said he did the apology dance that year so #i wonder what else could've fucking happened #but anyway. let's focus on what DID happen: aziraphale literally GLOWING with love in the car. crowley telling him to shut up cause of a #compliment. aziraphale helping crowley out and crowley looking at him like 'you'd do that for me?'. crowley not only letting aziraphale #practice magic with him but ACTIVELY playing a character to help him and i mean that scene was literally just crowley flirting with him #crowley indulging aziraphale by going to the magic shop with him and agreeing to participate in his show despite the fact that he NEVER EVEN #SHOT A GUN BEFORE. him just leafing thru the guidebook till he realizes there's a miracle blocker than starting to frantically flip thru it #her hands SHAKING on the gun and them being so afraid of hurting az. 'no paperwork :))' sure my guy that's what u r so happy about ofc #'but do u really think it went well' 'absolutely' with such sincerity. the book description saying smth abt ifa demon were to happen across #aziraphale they should report it immediately to the demon crowley. 'you could've just walked away' 'well you said 'trust me'' 'and you did' #its just. its one of my favorite eps it's so nice #good omens #azicrow #good omens s2 #aziracrow #go s2 spoilers #go s2 #good omens script book #good omens s2 spoilers #aziraphale x crowley

okay let's cut to the chase, in regards to that last post of adult nerd bakugou — my absolute favorite thing about it is after you've been talking for a bit and he's starting to really like you, BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW IF YOU'LL FIND HIM ATTRACTIVE AKFBRUSJAJ

bc you only know his voice 😭 and he likes talking with you, likes to hear your laugh, the corny, stuttered jokes you mess up more often than not 😭 and he can't imagine not liking you BUT HE'S SO WORRIED ABOUT HIMSELF AIFNEIAI is actually SO TORN about ever wanting to meet you in person, bc he's so nervous 🥺🥺🥺

#what a big dumb nerd i would smooch him silly #lays in bed at night after signing off and is thinking about you but then is immediately gripped with the fear of rejection qkfbrieiqo #the most you get for a long time is a far away shot of his head and his glasses with a mask on aifjriqkq #so you cant really see his face but you CAN SEE THEM BROAD SHOULDERS BABEY 👀👀👀 #and then you're having the same fear akfbdja LOL #this aspect of online chatting is so sjfhdjskla for me #[ ☆ willow wonders ] #✿ thoughts: bakugou #✿ theme: nerd bakugou

[blluespirit]

I sort of like the thought that Zuko and Aang take the Sun Warriors' warning not to tell anyone about the dragons a little more seriously… and they keep it between them. Of course, they trust Sokka, Toph and Katara. Of course they know they wouldn’t tell anyone, but now three people (including Iroh) know the truth about Ran and Shaw. And that’s three too many when you’re trying to keep a secret.

(and there are other people at the temple as well - like Haru, Teo and The Duke - who, while trustworthy, aren’t as close to them as the others, and when it comes to secrets with as much consequence as this one, you can’t afford to take any chances.)

Furthermore, the culture within the Fire Nation since Sozin’s rein has been warped. The culture is not to respect the dragons as the original firebenders, it’s to conquer and kill them. It’s the ultimate proof of your strength as a firebender. All it takes is one mistake before rumour spreads, and people go looking for the ultimate hunt. It’s not something Zuko or Aang can risk.

Whether Katara, Toph and Sokka (and Suki) ever find out the truth is up to you. But post-war, after Zuko returns from a strange, poorly explained trip with a dragon, and eventually develops the ability to use rainbow fire, either the others have some questions about Aang’s knowing look, or they are finally let in on a monumental secret.

#it’s a kids show so i think for that reason it was played for laughs about keeping the dragons a secret is not necessarily a bad choice... #the show does that sometimes where it says something off hand and then leaves me lying face down contemplating ✨the consequences✨ of that #but there are some… implications there about being too loose lipped with the truth in leading up to the end of and immediately post #war fire nation. just because zuko understands the spiritual significance of a dragon it does not mean the rest of his people will. actuall #its more likely that they'd reject zuko's opinion considering that he's basically coming into power and then telling everyone that #they've been lied to their whole lives. the fire nation is drowning in propaganda. for a lot of people this opinion of dragons and #firebending's true nature being violence and destruction is all they know. fire is LIFE but to most people that's an alien concept #and in terms of keeping secrets - it’s not even a matter of trust it’s a matter of too many people knowing #you might not even realised you’ve revealed some incredible information to someone who has the means to spread it or pursue it #so… i think zuko would be hyper aware of this. since he grew up hearing stories about the 'glory' of dragon hunting #and since iroh has also made a concerted effort to keep this information hidden i think it makes sense he’d be very hesitant to let it #get out to the public #aang would agree i think esp if zuko explained the importance of hiding them even from loved ones #ALSO random but it also makes me wonder what the fire nation said about roku in wake of the war #he had a dragon but he didn’t kill it. he didn’t ’conquer’ it #sozin would have had to work his ASS off to reframe history as him being the more… loyal(?) patriotic (?) of the two #did he frame it as roku didn’t have the courage to kill a dragon??? that he lacked the strength of a true firebender? #the avatar works hard but sozin's propaganda machine works harder 🧍‍♀️ #zuko #aang #avatar the last airbender #zuko & aang #jack talks #sun warriors #book 3 #what is it with me having a whole separate post in the tags 👁️👄👁️

gus and ace friendship except its based less on actual friendship and more based on "oh my god the fermins are so fucking oblivious it should actually be scientifically studied." gus has practically proposed to keith like 8 times. mira has had a crush on DAN before even considering she might have feelings for ace. gus knows that keith is emotionally constipated so hes almost coping with it better cuz thats Just What Keith Is Like. ace is attempting to console themselves w the thought process of "if mira can fall in love w dan, her standards might be low enough to fall in love w me. maybe." its not working out for them but its all they've got. they are both suffering immensely.

meanwhile the fermins are in an endless feedback loop of "keith, gus likes youuuuu" "no he doesn't he just sees me as like a friend or something" "ur kidding" "anyway ur one to talk, whats up with you and ace" "wdym??? we're just best friends" "ur kidding"

#its actually tragic god help them #theyre overthinking it like. maybe this is them rejecting us. maybe its never gonna happen. #meanwhile it takes approx 5 years for both mira and keith to be like. wait a minute. #also im a non-binary ace truther. no darkus brawler is cis thats simply the way of the universe. yes that includes barodius. #im not even like a huge mirace enjoyer. i assume thats their ship name. but ace taking the L of losing to dan is hilarious. #i dont ship danmira its just rlly rlly funny from a bullying ace standpoint. #i mean gus and ace dont help themselves bc of their pride and complete inability to be emotionally vulnerable #but still. its so obvious even helios can see it #this was a funny thought in my head so dont take it too seriously #i figure out my log in. drop some art. and then IMMEDIATELY im back on my bullshit

[teabutmakeitazure]

last ask and sorry for bothering you but, there is this stupid idea : chrollo having the hots for a brown darling. knowing how messed up pakistan/india's dating and marriage system is, he cant even be her boyfriend without her having massive issues lol. its not just that darling doesn't want to date him, its that her parents will kill her if they find out. its straight up kidnapping lol. i cant imagine him trying to act as a religious, pious and well meaning suitor that's too cringe.

dont get me started on "the only man you may reveal yourself to is your husband" asshole gonna use it to his advatage.

There is no way he is walking through the door and telling your parents that his second name is Lucilfer. But that's not even the problem. The problem is how in the name of all things holy did you come to know a man. A male specimen out of all the unholy things in this land and let him into your house to meet your parents.

If the excessive interrogating wasn't enough, the taunts that you're outside and being friends with men like it's no big deal are enough to warrant a month full of therapy to undo the damage to your psyche.

The arranged marriage culture would honestly baffle him. Chrollo doesn't understand why people would weigh such superficial and shallow traits so heavily when searching for a partner. It certainly doesn't sit right with him either when he's rejected by your parents for not being as cultural as them. He has money and he cares for you. Isn't that what's supposed to matter?

Chrollo doesn't see the point in keeping up such exhaustive appearances of being religious, pious and adhering to cultural values so he takes the easy route: making you disappear. Despite his initial dislike of what he called restrictive values, he has no problems with using them against you. It's true that you're only supposed to reveal yourself without hesitation to your husband, and he's the only man- er, human - left in your life. Isn't that a wonderful coincidence?

#Chrollo hears of medical colleges being filled with girls and most of them getting married off never to practice medicine made him lose hi #his* sense of logic for a while #what do you mean they work so hard to get into medical college just to get a decent marriage proposal? #that explains why the healthcare system is in shambles #and why a third of the population consists of engineers #that aside he'd probably get rejected by the parents for being too 'not brown' #i have a lot to say about yans with brown darlings because it has so much potential with the way the marriage market is #but Chrollo might immediately see the situation and think *im not doing that* #how is he supposed to show your parents that he's the best suitor when the first question is what his father does for a living #he can't just say *oh i grew up in a lawless land without any caretaker and i dont officially exist in legal records but i love you daugh #daughter very much so cant i get some slack?* #immediate rejection lmao #mother probably doesnt like how he seems emotionless #the generational trauma of emotionless men resurfaces and its an immediate no from her too #ask #zain-is-done2004 #chrollo brainrot

mmm essay about sally and kid gort in the tags (cw for child abuse, mentions of suicide, animal cruelty and a murder attempt. i always hope i don’t have to say this but just in case: i don’t excuse or condone any of her or gort’s behaviour at all.) this is literally not even touching upon everything i have to say because i hit the fucking tag limit lmao. NOBODY READ IT’S BAD BRAINSTORMING I JUST NEEDED TO GET IT OUT SOMEHOW

#thinkin too much about gortie side characters again. #sally this time and why she specifically talks about him the way she does #like dravo is obviously still shitty but to me he was. ‘just ‘neglectful #while sally actively hated and even felt terrorised by her own child #like. it’s not like i don’t understand her at all. #imagine you and your love don’t have much besides each other and your shop and you get pregnant and ready to raise a child #only for it to not be a child he didn’t and doesn’t cry ever and he learns everything so much sooner than most but then he never calls you #his parents and it’s not just a petty thing kids do sometimes you feel that he doesn’t see you as family and the worst part is that you #agree deep down #and as he gets older he doesn’t have any friends and actively rejects the notion of the entire concept #but then as time passes you hear about how he has entire groups of children following him and then several of them commit suicide #and that thing coming to sit with you and dravo at the dinner table says that he did what you did last week when the axe to chop wood broke #and you discarded it and got a new one #and he has these habits of ripping out flowers and making sure that they don’t regrow #and then you hear rumours about a friend’s daughter’s cat disappearing and think nothing of it #until you visit his tree house a month later and find a declawed cat and birds with clipped wings and crushed bugs that he keeps fondly #and then you see him with other children and they don’t know and his face is different and body language is entirely different #and were it not for the fact that you know better you would never see anything but a normal child #and you know that you are one who painstakingly brought this thing that should not be into the world and so you decide to end it all one da #and go to him as he’s asleep with the knife shaking in your hand #but he cries when you’re above him! screams at the top of his lungs! #so you beg for forgiveness even though you don’t deserve it through tears but as soon as the knife is put away you see the act drop and fee #his clever fingers having twisted your brain inside and out and you know that you can do nothing #and so the opportunity arises to at least remove him out of your life if not everyone’s lives and you take it immediately. #but you heard him talk. how he will close his fist around the world one day. and you know that it is not a matter of if but when. #like. imagine that. jesus dude. #like i hc her as someone that is messy and does not know a lot about life and she certainly wouldn’t have been a good mother but the love #or at least desire to love is there somewhere. and believing that having a child is really the only somewhat meaningful thing she can do #with her life. she’s not some hero or rich or anything of note. so there’s a lot obligation and not genuine desire for family here. #but she never really got the chance to be an actual mother in the first place so. who knows what that might have looked like

Ok so Loki s2 have been very fun and relaxed with the Lokius dynamic, not trying to downplay it or no-homo it but instead have embraced it and made it feel genuine, funny, heartwarming etc. Like whether canon or not, they haven't tried to aggressively deny any possibility.

Remembering the time i went for an extended interview for a company and during the team lunch portion i learned that 3/5 of the people on that team had parents who worked in the same company. Anyways i didnt get the job.

#that whole thing was a weird psychological game to them i think #2 of them told me that i was 'the perfect candidate' but there was another position open that was also suited for me and #asked if they wanted me to send along my resume to that team also #and i was like okay! sure! if i dont get this job why not. thanks a bunch 😳 #fast forward two weeks i got some automated rejection email and then got rejected immediately from the other position #i was 'perfect' for #im convinced i fucked up when i asked what the salary was and her only answer was 'its competitive'?? like girl give me a number #AND they did all those AFTER they asked me to do a 20 minute presention about myself. of course it was an oil and gas company.

[dnangelic]

dai is so strong. not talking about violence though i mean the way there's so much pressure on him but he still manages. one step at a time one day at a time, think positively, think proactively, do your very best for not only yourself but also everyone else, and it's never baseless optimism, it's courage in the face of difficulty, it's i want to be able to do something, there has to be something i can do, so i'm going to do everything i can to do it,' that's a completely ordinary yet extremely touching human sentiment that some people don't stretch themselves out to, but so many dnangel characters do, and not just the ones with weird magic bloodlines. that being said, is it unfair for daisuke as a phantom thief, as a kid raised since birth for the sake of a destiny, to have to do a lot of what he's doing? yeah, and dnangel acknowledges this; recognizes this in the form of his 'powers,' his inheritance being a 'curse,' his loneliness and misery and terror whenever he and dark are out of sync and he feels strangled rather than pushed forward by the way he was born and raised to be a phantom thief. the sins of his ancestors persist and become his, dark's existence remains miserable and unchanged for centuries and centuries, his magic is first and foremost a punishment, sleeping beauty pricking her finger on the spinning wheel, the beast for his lovelessness, until his very own love alongside everyone else's cures it and lifts the curse, not just for himself but for dark too.

he couldn't escape the circumstances of his birth, (neither could dark,) but he's always trying to step forward with a retained romantic passion and love for his life and the decisions he can make for himself, the things he can control about his own life - making art even if he isn't talented at it, engaging in new hobbies at every opportunity, sticking close to his friends, utilizing what he's learned since he was born to try to selflessly help, rather than selfishly take and hurt. 'in this world, magic is something born out of human hearts.' daisuke's healing and dark's 'trickery' at its core really isn't supernatural, it's completely ordinary; they're magicians, illusionists, entertainers and comforters, they make what seems impossible possible, they're incredibly skilled and clever, but more than anything they've almost aaaalways had a positive, enduring, and protective attitude. don't be afraid of change, don't be afraid of moving forward, don't hesitate around those that you truly love and appreciate, That's Really Strong!!!!!
