Anyway I like that in the books that Artemis gets into a relationship Jarlaxle continues to live rent free in his head

#the legend of drizzt #the forgotten realms #dahlia sin'felle #artemis entreri #jarlaxle baenre #anyway this is the dynamic i am right #we polyship here sir #if you hate Dahlia no need to tell me on this post #i simply do not want to hear about it #she is my girl #also graphic design is my passion #made this while i am supposed to be working

My beef today is with people who legitimately think Will actually hates Hannibal and that hannigram is one sided

#like he’s a bitchy little brat that doesn’t mean he actually hates him!!!!! #inspired by seeing a slew of art on Pinterest where it’s depicted like will can’t stand Hannibal #and yes I joke about that too but it’s jokes and I know that’s just the dynamic #I am convinced some people think hannigram is just Hannibal pining and will not liking him #you guys do know will actually likes Hannibal… right? #directed not at tumblr bc hannigram tumblr would never #y’all get it #tldr I think the overdone trope of will hating Hannibal is irritating and I think a lot of people actually believe he hates him #hannigram #just bc will doesn’t express his love like Hannibal does doesn’t mean he fr actually hates him oh my god #dude threw himself off a cliff with Hannibal and we still have people out here questioning his love #anyways I like writing Will as awkward when it comes to Hannibal’s affection towards him and unable to express #or bitchy until Hannibal does something and he folds

Do you think that Laura and Marisha are deliberately making their relationship somewhat toxic and unsustainable or do you think they see the relationship as healthy? It is just so different from all of the other relationships they have been a part of and not really in a good way. Would love to get your perspective on it if you have one

I am honestly unsure. I would like to say it's deliberate. Prior to it becoming canon, in fact, I, and a lot of other people who were less than enthused by Imogen and Laudna's romance and weren't entirely sold from the start, made the case that we expected they would be talking to each other and would put together a compelling story, not the dull fluff so common in fanon. While whether it's compelling is a subjective judgment, we know for a fact they didn't talk to each other. We know for a fact Marisha was surprised by the question of "Can I kiss you," and Laura was surprised by the answer. We know from a 4SD not long after (4SD #16, Kiss and Tell) that several episodes later they still hadn't talked. We know that Marisha perceives Laudna as holding Imogen back (and that Laudna perceives herself as doing so) from the Rose City Q&A. We know that from 4SD #20 (Episode Twenty) that Laura doesn't like conflict in narrative and Marisha does, and that Laura was thrown by Laudna's regression following Ashton's attempt to absorb the shard (4SD #19, Shard Candy).

I don't know if it's deliberate or not; I don't have any extra insight that isn't public knowledge any fan can easily access. But man, it doesn't feel like these are two actors on the same page about what's going on.

I've touched on this before but mostly in tags or whisper posts but I've always felt ill at ease with a number of for lack of a better term "fandom-approved opinions" and one of the ones that has baffled me the most is this idea that Marisha and Laura have exceptional chemistry. I watched Campaign 1 knowing the endgame ships but deliberately avoiding the fandom, and Vex and Keyleth did not even once occur to me as a thing. I watched the first year of Campaign 2 without a ton of fandom interaction because I was avoiding additional C1 spoilers and it seemed crystal clear that the obvious ship was Beau and Yasha; it felt like Beau and Jester only even had enough potential for me to multiship it as my general "whomever Jester picks" for like, 30 episodes. And yet people - people who didn't even ship either of the above ships and in some cases disliked them- would just say "oh man I can't wait until we get to a campaign where we can finally explore Marisha and Laura's incredible chemistry!" and it's like. I feel like I'm the kid in the Emperor's New Clothes on this! I understand that chemistry is to an extent a matter of taste and subjectivity, but it just increasingly feels like people looked at two campaigns of tables where Ashley was frequently absent and said "well, if I want an F/F ship that's between two of the women in the cast, I guess this is what I have to work with" and repeated to themselves that a flat pamplemousse La Croix was a Piña Colada until they started to believe it. I mean if someone wants to explain it to me in good faith I suppose be my guest and I will try to take it in, but it feels like people just treat this as incontrovertible fact and if you doubt it they're like "don't you have eyes" and it's like, well, pretend I don't. Explain like I'm eyeless and five because I have never understood this. They both have more chemistry with every single other cast member; it's not all romantic but man, I didn't even buy Laudna and Imogen as platonic best friends of two years. I have never had this problem with any other pre-existing character relationships Marisha and Laura have played, platonic or otherwise. It's literally just them. I just never feel like they're quite on the same page.

Back to the relationship between Imogen and Laudna onscreen, this was easily the best conversation since the start of the gnarlrock fight, and it is my hope it doesn't fizzle out the way that did. You can't keep kissing Laudna whenever she fears she's lost forever to Delilah, Imogen. Or you can, but that won't fix the problem. Again: are you disgusted? Do you feel betrayed? If you're not, why did you say that? If you are, how will you move past it? Do you want to be with someone who never feels like they're good enough for you? Laudna, do you want to be with someone who, no matter what they say, you feel you're holding back?

Early in the campaign, my feeling was that of our current situation, switched - Imogen felt her powers were a burden and a curse and Laudna kept referring to them and to her glowingly. It's just...ships passing in the night, no pun intended here. I hope it's on purpose and whatever comes from it is a good story - and either a tragedy or a happy story could be a good one. But I have a nagging sensation that Laudna wants out but is afraid to say no, and Imogen is afraid to let go, and I honestly don't know if the actors have realized this impasse and how the characters might resolve it, one way or another, besides the insufficient bandaid of a kiss whenever the conversation gets too uncomfortable.

#answered #minxie-the-sabertooth-kitty #really the mission statement of this blog is I am the kid in the Emperor's New Clothes #also i know i keep relying on food metaphors sorry i really like food and feel it's fairly universally accessible to understand #anyway. i am sure some will not believe me here but I think I and most people who agree with me desperately wish we liked this ship #i do not think most people who dislike it are actively hoping it crashes and burns it's just #it feels so fundamentally disconnected and lifeless. at least the conflict shocks it into something vaguely animated #the vindication i was right about this lack of chemistry is still ultimately a consolation prize. i promise you i'd rather be proven wrong #i'd rather be wowed by a brilliant dynamic ship i didn't expect to like. but here we are. #cr spoilers #long post

Look I love and respect the yuri nation and also think it Sucks when fandoms ignore perfectly good f/f relationships in media for mediocre yaoiz but like we cannot understate just how strong of a presence farcille has in the dungeon meshi community as of writing. Newcomers making the guys suck and fuck is such a non-issue can we chill

#dungeon meshi #ive seen a couple of posts over the past weeks (here and on twit) of people like. genuinely being mad about the spike in m/m #and its like... sorry what are u guys on about #farcille is cute dont get me wrong but like with all ships theres only so many dynamics they can believably have. IMO anyways #and theres other f/f potential too but those are like.. relegated to side characters with a minimal presence in the source material #so its not unsurprising that they dont get much attention (kikimari save me..) #loathe as i am to admit it there are more men in the primary cast/later characters that get a ton of screentime compared to women. #so we get more tuoys to smack around. like. its not unsurprising. #if the dungeon meshi tag on ao3 ends up having m/m overtaking gen AND f/f then we can talk about preservation of endangered species #but right now.. let them cook #theres some lesbian yaoi on the menu so show some respect

i don't know if it's some sort of spiteful instinct within me that i developed against fanon but the idea of damen straight out calling laurent an idiot is hilarious. to me

#just the image #of mastermind architect intj laurent of vere #being looked in the eye by the king of what vere considers a barbarian country #and being told he's being dumb. #like i just wonder sometimes. how the hell laurent would react to that #and then i remember This Happens Continously in canon #and every time laurent's reaction is basically damn. youre right. i AM being dumb #with the barely contained rage #it's that aux te. yknow? if it works it works mentality #anyway. very funny very underused element in their dynamic big fan of the whole thing #captive prince #damen x laurent

#feel like my relationship with my younger brother is changed completely forever not to be dramatic lol but i am sad #we used to b very close but he has kind of. found his faith again and gone full missionary christian which like. i knew meant the dynamic #was doomed lmao but actually acknowledging it makes me sad i feel like i'm grieving for the friendship we used to have even though #it is literally a me problem i think from his perspective he doesn't think anything has changed. but i feel weird about everything #also his new gf is nineteen and he is. almost 25 and i am the only one who feels weird about it like i know she's over 18 but! idk i can't #tell if i'm being overly cautious or if my gut instinct is right. my sister & her husband have a similar age gap but they met when they wer #both over 30 so like. it didn't feel weird. and i didn't feel comfortable actually seriously talking to him about it apart from the first #time he mentioned her over facetime (he went to another country to do mission stuff & met her there) so like an idiot i've just been #making jokes about the age gap becausee like. thats always been our thing lightly bullying each other lol but he blew up at me and said #i've had nothing positive to say about her since he's been back home and that he thinks i hate her and i'm out of line for constantly #implying he's creepy for dating someone younger. idk i felt like such a freak idiot horrible person about it. it completely blindsided me #bc yes the jokes were coming from a place of idk how i feel about this situation so i'm going to rely on the humour-based communication #we have always fallen back on as a safety thing but i guess i was wrong or the dynamic shifted or something anyway it's all fucked #& everyone is just telling me i feel weird out of some?? misplaced kind of jealousy thing?? because i'm 'losing' my brother to his gf lol #which does not feel right at all he has dated so many other girls and i have never had a problem it is literally the age gap like i haven't #even met this girl i'm sure she's very nice! i just worry about her being nineteen!! jesus. and yes maybe i do feel some resentment around #a brother younger than me who seems to be able to live his life with zero difficulty whilst i'm stuck being this unemployed loser who ruins #literally ever friendship & relationship ive ever had but i think thats ok right like i can't help feeling that. i don't fucking knowwww #am i just projecting all these sad feelings about our friendship dying onto his new relationship or like. am i right to be genuinely #concerned she's six years younger than him and still a fucking teenager!!!!!! i don't know

since we all agree that the bees are gonna kiss this volume you know what i also think would be really really cool to see?? a second kiss crisis. you know when you kiss someone and you want to do it again some time after but you’re nervous so you have to reason with yourself like. ok so this is something that happens now, right? it's not weird if we kiss, i can just go for it right???? but also what if!!!!!! and with that i mean: i want yang xiao long to give blake belladonna an awkward peck on the lips in the most casual situation ever and be a mess about it for at least half an hour and i want blake to look exactly like this after:

#bumbleby #yang xiao long #blake belladonna #rwby #new question just dropped: who is initiating the second kiss #anyway yes i love new relationship dynamics i love people being awkward i love people figuring out how to be a couple #they are already awkward right now when they kiss they are gonna be WORSE #i am sorry for everyone in a ten mile radius around them but I'LL LOVE IT

Sorry but Thra'lani (as a platonic and a romantic ship, tbh) has taken over my entire brain right now. They are sOoOooo- ahkajsjjdjssksjirjdjjrjsjfw.

#i want both of them to step on me #the bi panic is so real right now #thrawn and lani are giving old married couple vibes in treason #like: this is sO different to their ascendancy dynamic somehow but it's also similar if you know what i mean #anyway i am low key shipping them harder than i was before #:D #thra'lani #thrawn #ar'alani #hydro rambles #they are both bisexual to me and idc what anyone else here thinks

when people ship shusumi do they gravitate to the bubbly "kasumi" front during the 1st/2nd semester or do they not count that and portray sumire's character for who she is during the last few hours of the game. do they have both coexisting at the same time but then what's the middle sweet-spot for it? their entire dynamic changes fundamentally as a result of the third semester.

and wouldnt joker feel a bit lied to since the girl he met in the beginning who was so, so nice to him essentially a fake? would this girl still approach him with kindness if she was her true self? how does he want her? is it cruel to miss the "her" when she was parading as a corpse? because after the third semester nothing will ever be the same between them. we as a shusumi society should entertain the idea of their divorce more. in this essay i will

#aishi.docx #uhmmmm... #much to think about #LMAO I LIKE HOW THIS WAS PROMPTED BY. me trying to draw my shusumi week piece HDJDH (i didnt end up making much progress tn!) #shusumi #persona 5 #akira kurusu #sumire yoshizawa #kasumi yoshizawa #yall imma be real when i say i ship shusumi i basically think i like her and jokers dynamic better when shes kasumi 😭 #which is. wild if a bit fricked up ngl #but the :D gf with B) bf dynamic was what made me love them in the first place and sumi's underlying mental illnes in 3rd sem made it better #but then. i got to thinking deeper about said mental illness and its like. isnt it a bit like being lied to fr...... idk..... #how much were her actions sumire how much were kasumi #and if i wanted :< gf B) bf dynamic well.... i dont really want that. also shutaba is right there-(SIRENS BLARING) #anyway. so peculiar of a dynamic it actually makes me want to explore them more #but i dont rly tend to like low self esteem characters done like her unless it was written differently?? #or at least had more breather. those last 5 ranks of sumire were nooot enough. #anyway lastly i must say i am a sumi fan because i love the character concept of #younger sibling taking on dead older sibling's personality out of grief coping mechanism #ITS BEEN DONE BEFORE AND I eat it up each time!!!!! i should make a thread of characters like that ive found but #GOD. sumire really is overshadowed by her older sister even after death like #so sad. i need to explore this more #life of a multishipper.... oughhhh. i wish i had more hands n energy to draw!!

One of the biggest reasons I really dislike infant puppies is so much time and energy is dedicated to making sure they get training, and socialization, and playtime, and physical and mental exercise. And you have to be on top of them 100% of the time to make sure they aren't harassing your other dogs or chewing power cords or inventing new ways to kill themselves.

Which means when the infant is down for a nap I have to do my chores or rest, which means that my adult dog and I are not getting the physical exercise we are used to/need. And I'm too tired to give my adult dog the mental exercise he's used to/needs.

So I'm playing with Zaku so he'll be tired enough to nap and Kermit stands a few feet to the side and just barks at me.

Things will get better once I can take this puppy for walks, but man, this first month is rough.

#some people love raising infant puppies #and by god I am not one of them #I will say my puppy blues are not as bad as they were for kermit or bindi #kermit was the worst blues I've ever had #full sobbing every day for weeks #I'm INCREDIBLY anxious with zaku but I've only cried once #not having to manage the bindi/extremely tiny puppy dynamic is making this easier #anyway this post was brought to you by me sitting on the floor with zaku for Designated Bonding Time (tm) #and he jumped up and bit me in the face #and I was like 'boy I am so tired of you right now' #it'll be fine #he'll be an amazing adult #and he's a really great puppy #my patience is just very thin right now #this has been an inane post

anytime i see one of those crossover fics with the goldfinch and stranger things... i giggle a little inside... like. will would NOT fall head over heels for boris, he would probably think he stank and be very scared of him. 

yeah, and oh my god??? boris would bully the SHIT out of those nerds. anyways i just rlly think will x boris is quite dumb. and... theo would probably hate the entire party. i just think it’s funnier to see silly rivalries between them rather than ships that don’t make sense

#this is a bit #hateful #but i do not mean it like that #i think they're all just #So Silly #their dynamics would be very funny to watch/read IF IT WAS WRITTEN RIGHT #me calling the party nerds is affectionate #i am also (obviously) a nerd #anyways #byler #stranger things #mike wheeler #will byers #boris pavlikovsky #theo decker #the goldfinch #boreo
