tulips !! they’re underrated

#or idk maybe there are ppl who go apeshit over tulips but I’ve never met anyone whose favorite flower is tulip #like they’re not my favorite but tbh I don’t rly have a favorite #unless I’m trying to be edgy & pretentious in which case it’s rafflesia but that’s barely a flower (it’s not it’s a parasite) #and it’s more like ’’oh that’s one fucked up plant’’ rather than that I like it; gives me the creeps so I think it’s fun #idk maybe ppl don’t have favorite flowers?? like that’s an urban legend right??? no one’s there actually like ’’ooh u got my favorite’’ #except for in movies/tv-shows etc. #right??? or idk what do I know #studyblr #dark academia #aesthetic #bookblr #april 2024 #2024

As someone who heavily relates to Quinni and is a little bit in love with Harper and her fucked-up bad-bitch mystique, I think they should have an incredibly intense and fucked up gay relationship that leaves them both irreversibly wrecked as people. They could make each other worse and better in equal measure and I want it sooo bad

#and that is my contribution to the fandom thank u for your time #never underestimate an autistic girl’s ability to see through the tough-girl’s bullshit #and never underestimate the tough-girl’s ability to inspire confidence in her friends! #Harper would teach Quinni how to win the idgaf war and Quinni would teach Harper how to lose the idgaf war #do you see the vision???? #Harper would be like: omg fuck everybody do what you want!! go crazy go stupid!!! #and Quinni would be like: …you know you don’t have to pretend like you’re okay all the time right? #if nothing else I need their friendship to be more fleshed out!!! #heartbreak high #quinni gallagher jones #harper mclean #cass actually talks! #omg they’re also the goth + pastel (ish) stereotype!!! #it just gets better guys like get on my level kdbdjdk

if i told u that these two images are placed exactly like this in the artbook would u believe me

[ID: two pieces of official "yona of the dawn" art. the image on the left features gija dressed in a simple dark blue robe; he's holding a fluffy brown-and-white cat in one arm, and his dragon hand is raised as if he's about to pet it. he's smiling softly and glancing to the right. the image on the right features jaeha taking off his robe; his hair is wet, with several strands coming partially loose from his low ponytail, and there's water dripping down his bare torso; he's looking to the left. the backgrounds of both images feature large windows with red square decorative paneling, though the details of the panels are slightly different. end ID.]

#left and right should technically be reversed within the images but i wanted to make the point clear in the id #which is ofc that it looks like they’re in the same room and Looking At Each Other #kusanagi i know what ur DOING KUSANAGIIIIIII #i know the homoeroticism isn’t accidental kusanagi u can’t fool me #also that jaeha art………… [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [redacted] [EXPUNGED] #akayona

self shipping is a great way to cope, and it can help a whole lot, but sometimes it’s not what you need. and that’s okay. it doesn’t have to be a linear experience. it doesn’t have to be constant. sometimes you just don’t have the energy or the time or, as upsetting as it might be, the desire to self ship. and that’s okay. because your f/o(s) understand, and they’ll be there for you if or when you return. you will not hurt your f/o by needing a break. they understand, they support you, and they just want you to be happy.

#i know before i ever made this blog i would worry so much abt not giving the proper attention to some of what i just considered my ‘faves’ #i felt like it wasn’t fair if i imagined them loving me and then sometimes i just didn’t focus on them. #but like. that’s self shipping? that’s having f/os sometimes??? #they’re not gonna be hurt by my need to step away #it makes me no less worthy of coming back and picking right back up where we were #self ship #self shipping #self insert #canon x self insert #s/i #fictional other #f/o #don’t remember what my tags were but. hey. u know how it be

is it gay to be so overwhelmed with emotions by thinking about someone you care about so much you almost want to pick up writing again

#- but also it’s night time and you can’t fall asleep even though you need to get up early #and you’re just stuck imagining the lines you want written down #so your only options are to do it now while they’re still there #or not and then forget all of them in the morning and cry #hi i’m the gay one help i haven’t been in this state in a while #i’m just in that state again somehow i guess #probably because i never got a chance to tell this person how something so small for them meant a world to me in that moment #i hope i’ll be able to tell you all that myself in a more direction way but i love you so much you mean the world to me #okay i don’t actually want to scare you off by saying that but knowing what my mind is imagining for this you’d think that yourself anyway #i should probably stop taking now it’s way too late and i’m being tooooo emotionally vulnerable rn #hi guys sleepy night time frab here i’m the (other) emotion + vulnerable one #don’t you love to see it #i wonder if anyone is still down here reading these tags #hi if you are! send aaaa hmmm send a little ‘£; e’ if you read to this point #also why r u still reading? weirdoooo /jk love you #but really don’t be down here too long i’m sorta bleeding all my feelings out right now #because i’m so bad at expressing myself directly and as soon as i want to #ugh i’ll leave now i’m lonely and talking to myself too much again #night night everpony #frabrant #wonder if i’ll write more again… ok i’m LEVAING now gah

love how we get a full list of all 24 capitol kids and all 24 tributes lined up next to each other as foils and honestly it feels like a district-kids-vs-capitol-kids games before the games even happen because the pre-game beef is so understandably crazy that 17 of the 48 kids end up dead, missing, or hospitalized before the official games even start

#big ups to marcus shoutout marcus for disappearing into the sewers love that for him #interesting how the career kids are all dead because they tried to run. interesting how a mentor was the first to die. #so many things are so very interesting #like.. the capitol hates the district kids obviously but they also clearly do not care if their own kids die in the mentor program #it’s just more drama for the cameras right? more fuel for the propaganda fire #the salad of 🅱️ongbirds and flakes #thg reread #i will be honest with u though. it is hard to feel compassion for the mentors when they get all this pomp and circumstance when they die #while the tributes corpses are strung up and paraded in front of their fancy coffins. like what the hell man #i don’t know why corpse desecration is so so awful to me. like they’re already dead even if it’s gross it’s not making them suffer any more #i guess it’s just that exactly though. they’re already dead. why make them suffer more

#HEAR ME OUT FOR A SECOND OKAY #Ik a lot of guys that r like him #On surface at least #They’re loud and constantly in trouble and they get into a lot of fights #Nd u see them and go “yeah he just doesn’t give a fuck” #But when u get to know them it turns out they do give a lot of fucks actually #they actually care sm and it’s fucking stupid how hard they try to look like they do not #and they’ve almost always came to the conclusion that only way to stop thinking so lowly abt themselves is to just #Not think at all #But this behavior leads to everyone degrading them as a joke bc it’s funny and they’re a silly guy who doesn’t care so it’s ok right??? #so they also start to make self depreciating jokes to satisfy their desperate need to fit in #which makes them think more and more which makes them repeat the cycle again and and and #It’s depressing how many guys r like this but whatever anyways #DO YOU GET WHAT I MEAN #SHIDOU FITS PERFECTLY INTO THAT TROPE #HE HAS A DEPRESSING STORY IK IT #anyways on a second note I love befriending that type of guys bc they’re actually rlly cute #+ they almost always have this one hobby they talk to no one abt (bc it’s too girly or too weird etc) that they’re rlly rlly excited abt #blue lock

H E L L O jfp-eyes pen (thats your new name btw)

i know its a little late but my mind keep going back to it and i also talked about a similar issue w several other people on here since and i was wondering if you can/want elaborate on what you said about this:

"like, u want potters to be desi? it’s not just the cute clothes and good food and linguistic differences u need to keep in mind. there’s so much more where it comes from, including several practices that will be considered highly objectionable by this rigidly judgemental crowd."

((i am v v interested but no pressure to answer this, i totally get if you dont want to get into this discourse))

dani—you’re gonna pull me into the desi potters discourse one way or the other, eh?

so. i’m not sure how much sense this’ll make because it’s like…half-baked thoughts but my problem with this scenario actually stems from a more macro, general trend i’m noticing in fandom behaviour. for some reason, puritan culture & veiled conservatism is coming back in the guise of progressiveness? and that’s leading to a lack of critical thinking in these spaces & randomly attributing buzzwords to things out of context bc u don’t have more than a shallow understanding of it.

which means that that comment was directed at a very specific subset of fandom that decided that idk ignoring the Bad Things & Flaws would somehow make them cease to exist. let’s only take the most ‘exotic’, fun aspects even if it’s a completely one dimensional reading & run with it. they wouldn’t be able to tell u what desi is beyond the barebones.

so, you’ll have people vehemently arguing that the potters can’t be anything but desi and white james is gross and i’m just like—why. why are u, as a non-desi person, so attached to this headcanon that you’ll ridicule real people for it? and then their attitudes as well. the incest thing, for example. there are communities in india that marry their first cousins—if i write a story tomorrow where james marries his mother’s imaginary brother’s daughter, then depending on how i HC him, that’s perfectly culturally acceptable (and desirable). if i write a story where euphemia and fleamont use corporal punishment for him, and he takes it super lightly and jokes about it, that’s also fine. (which is a direct contrast to how the western black family & sirius’ abuse is treated). there’ a community in india where the man ‘drinks’ from his mother’s breast, publicly, at his wedding to symbolise the last time he’d be her son before he becomes someone’s husband. another where a new mother can’t feed her son until her sister-in-law washes her breast thoroughly. caste is something that’s not even touched upon. it’s so complicated. but how do u think it’ll be received by most of the desi potter crowd if i actually do write any of this? will i be praised for my ~representation or called out on twitter for being a freak?

and that’s really where i get annoyed. the attitudes most of this crowd hold does not have any space for cultural subjectivity, what is ok to them has to be universally ethical. there’s no way other cultures do things their way and if they do, it’s barbaric/backward/problematic etc etc. pseudo-colonial, like i said.

(disclaimer: i want it to be made very clear i’m not demanding people nclude this stuff in their fics. i’m well aware of how escapism works, being the premier advocate for it. im just saying it won’t hurt to be mindful of these facts, that this is a whole culture that’s ridiculously diverse that doesn’t just exist for the sake of people’s headcanons)

and this isn’t even going into the cultural nuances of how desi families work. you can’t bring in american/european individualism & have james move out at 18 & write everything transactionally & do everything the way u would for a white character but only pay lip service when saying they’re brown ykno? when u say they’re a certain identity, there’s so much that comes with that. and if u don’t include any of that, then it really just makes me wonder why u want a brown james—feels like ego appeasement and falling to peer pressure half the time tbh.

another important thing for me is that so much of this crowd intersects with the ‘fandom is activism’ crowd and i just. fundamentally disagree with those people. and find their words/actions incredibly performative. by which i mean, the way they treat real people—people from the communities they’re adopting as HCs for their beloved characters. there’s this…hypocrisy, yeah? what i mentioned above, about how if i wrote some culturally different practice, i’d probably be attacked. they don’t want desi potter, they want white-lite potters that is palatable to & tailored for their own constitution but in a form that they can pass of as ‘oh look, my characters r diverse which makes me Morally Good and i can use that to shit on others’.

i think my problem is just that i don’t like it when people use the identity headcanons to portray themselves as being inherently better because they have ~equal representation. fandom is not a government institution—lateral visibility & membership is not a prerequisite to wanting to write about x and y fucking or going on a date or hugging or having a conversation. making a marauder group where each character—functionally an OC—is from a different community (often w/o considering how intersectionality works) for the sake of saying ‘oh i have a x in my HCs’ does not make u some radical leftist, yeah? and i strongly dislike people who pretend it does.

#also jfp-eyes pen skshdjhskcwdj #see i’m more open ab this now bc i’ve outed myself lol #earlier i was worried i’d fell on myself in the process of expressing my opinions so i just stayed quiet #this doesn’t apply to everyone obv #some people don’t want it to be that deep #(but then my question is why even incorporate it if u don’t lol) #this isn’t a black or white/yes or no thing #there’s no wrong or right way for things here #it’s just personal discomfort i was expressing tbh #this wasn’t easy for me to articulate #bc i’m not exactly sure what it is about this whole thing that bothers me sm #i think it’s also just—american audiences in general that irl me #irk* #esp w all this shipping/fictional likes discourse that keeps going on #bc they’re really very self centred imo #and it’s weird watching this for the outside #lol dani u really got me ranting here #but it’s an issue that bothers me sm #esp that puritan young adult/teen crowd #who somehow believe they know best #and intersectionality—identities are such rigid boxes for them #the fluidity & agency & human element of it is completely erased #bc *what* they are becomes more imp than what they can do for the plot #and then u start putting fictional characters on a pedestal and fight w real people #like i just wanna say—my litmus test for anyone advocating for desi potters would be this #if i wrote a story where fleamont hits him with his footwear and james jokes about it before going on to marry his first cousin #then will u accept it? #bc if u say u do then good. if u don’t tho—take a long hard inside urself re why u fight so hard for desi potters then #pen’s asks #pen’s notes

the dripping from out of frame, the slow turn, the hard cut……horror writers WISH they had a shoujo mangaka’s skill to invoke pure unadulterated dread

[ID: panels from chapter 256 of “yona of the dawn”. in the first panel, zeno stands up; his neck and robes are heavily stained with blood, and some of it is splattered on his cheek; he says, “i tried all i could to die…”. in the next panel, the phonomime “drip” is written twice in the corner, indicating that it’s coming from somewhere out of frame but zeno has yet to react to it. in the following panel, the dripping continues and he turns towards it. in the next panel, which is taking up most of the page, he stares at the source of the sound in horror. the final panel shows the roof of the palace; the sky above it is dark and cloudy, with sunlight beginning to break through the clouds. end ID.]

#u wanna know what i think the sound is? :) (<- was right about zeno not being able to kill himself and now my ego is massive) #i think the other dragons got pushed out of the chalice along with zeno and now they’re badly injured and bleeding #(hence the dripping) #idk what could horrify zeno at this point except being faced with the realization that his plan backfired not against HIM #bc he’s tried to off himself before and it never worked. but against the people he cares about and wanted to save #(in a deeply fucked up way and without asking if they even want that but he did want to save them and not just himself) #obviously as the optimistic theories guy i think they’ll all be okay #like. the dragon gods’ protection clearly hasn’t completely perished from the mausoleum AND riri’s running around administering aid outside #i don’t think they’ll die. but i do think kusanagi will continue trying to scare us with the possibility #anyway. what was i talking about #oh right! horror sequences in shoujo manga always go so hard i love it #akayona

smth smth fawn’s self rivalry in the siblings!au

#gideon shut the hell up challenge #bc we keep randomly thinking abt how Absolutely Devastating the museum is in sibs!au it ofc led to #us thinking abt the heartache of having to see river take up the sidestep name #to have (who you think is) some stranger waltz in and just stake a claim on arguably the single most important thing in your life #(read: the sidestep name bc it’s all you have left of ur brothers) #BUT. then we started thinking abt how they Also take up the sidestep name again #and the agonizing self-loathing and Constant Mourning that they go through every time they commit a crime #bc it’s not just their own hero memory who they are corrupting and bastardizing but Their Brothers’…….. #fawn in the sibs!au is literally the equivalent of being so broken and bloodied and still dragging yourself onward #bc what other choice do you have? #ALSO !!!! bc we love to discuss fawn treating destroying the exhibition as a self-inflicted funeral. #knowing that in the sibs!au they probs only intended to remove their own self ?? but spare cyrus and river’s?? #except then cyrus goes and blows up the fucking museum !!!!!! #I know for a fact they’re too busy helping w evacuations to actually manage to detour and save any of it too #bc they def would’ve considered it. genuinely inconsolable later when ric talks to them abt it. #bc here’s the thing. it may not have happened in actual book canon but I know in my heart he would sit them down and explain that nothing #of the sidestep exhibit could be recovered. which is fine for Just fawn but when u include the brothers ??? absolutely not #angie also is the one who chases fawn off which makes it even more fun bc they Just run from her they don’t super fight #and genuinely…. idk if they could have right then !!!! I think they’d be way too distracted and shocked to manage it #keeping up with the beckers
