dana scully is the realest character ever because she’s a failure of her own creation

#i’m sick again #physically not just in the head #so nothing i say makes any sense #but #she fails her parents by sacrificing medicine for the fbi #she fails mulder by not believing #by wanting him alive and well and not just The Truth #by not being able to find him #she fails at being the kind of mother who can protect her child #from murderous cults and alien supersoldiers alone without asking for help #whatever THAT kind of mother is #she fails at living in a haunted house with a haunted man #instead she ‘fled’ #she’s right 5% of the time and she cannot keep anyone safe #and she views all of this as failures #as people being ‘dissapointed’ in her #as not ‘being capable’ #but ARE they failures?? #and is it her having unbearable expectations for herself #or is it the world that she lives in #a world that makes her abandon everything that feels stable to her including her child #in order to ever be right #txf #scully #dana scully

[possibilistfanfiction]

just thinking abt tiny butch bea not wanting to compete in judo & then having to use all of that skill in the ocs to harm ppl but it’s to make sure those she loves are safe. going thru 8 men to get to ava, to have five more minutes to hold the person she loves. even if ava has to die bea needs to be there. she needs to give that gentleness to ava. how she just wants that it’s all she wants it’s all she’s ever wanted

the mary oliver line ‘mostly, i want to be kind’

anyway bye

#butch bea 🥺🫡 #MOSTLY I WANT TO BE KIND that’s her that’s my gentle dyke #soft oversized cotton sweaters & loose pants & birks & a beanie #she’s sleepy she’s brilliant she’s Hot #& all she wants is to be kind! to love ppl well! to love her partner! to love herself! #bea teaching kids aikido & making sure they know the point is to be safe & to keep ur opponent i injured #uninjured** 🙄 #bea w her floppy hair & some round sunglasses taking outdoor showers just so ava can watch lol #learning how to cook from her friends #kill me

[amatres]

smthing smthing balaerra is power hungry but only to the extent she wants to feel safe so the minute someone with more power than her promises to protect her she is content smthing smthing every person who promised to protect her isn't a good person but her need to feel safe pushes her to not care despite all the warning signs, leaving her vulnerable and resulting in her getting even worse in the process. etc etc

#ama mumbles #balaerra (oc) #girl just wants her friends and herself to be safe. the endless struggle for power isnt particularly safe either #but if the person she cares about wants to keep climbing 🤷‍♀️well time to help them build that ladder #at least astar wont try to kill her like her teacher did? just kinda. keeps her to hold onto his affection from their year on the road

Writing to do, replies to do, drawing to do... all put aside briefly for two reasons.

Firstly, I have a bad cold. (Not Covid! I checked.) It's taken me out at the knees.

Secondly, kittens:

My mom's foster girl became a Momma on Sunday and we have been All About these kids. (Also featuring Charlene for scale. These babies are TINY.) I still have not seen them in person but Mom's been sending me so many updates... it's hard to stay focused when there's baby cats to coo over!

Anyway I just wanted to drop an update; not ignoring anyone! Just cats and snot keeping me occupied.

#also my own cat scuzzy likes to park herself directly onto me when I'm not well #i think she's trying to keep me safe #she's a darling girl and I love her

[kennys-parka-jacket]

I am once again thinking about The Poor Kid

#(Also actually watching the source material can change your opinion on it. Shocking; i know) #Anyway. As i make my way through season 9 i see just *how* prop-like kenny is #It puts a few things into perspective #1) the 'at least you finally get to do something' line in The Jeffersons #2) the sheer presence of death whenever kenny is used in merch; advertising; and media outside the show- Often that's his only contribution #3) in The Poor Kid we take a look at the McCormick household for the first time in a while #Stuart and Kevin are yelling and beating each other up. Carol tries to intermediate but just adds more noise to the situation #Karen clings to her mother for comfort; including herself in the chaos. And kenny quietly sits on the sidelines to avoid getting involved #And it seems this is nothing new #I always knew kenny was quiet at school and didnt initiate most of the trouble his friends get into #But already there's been a lot of episodes where he might as well not even be there #I've seen with my own eyes just how badly he gets reduced to almost background character status when he isnt suffering a painful death #And it's made all the more tragic to know this was likely a habit he picked up in order to keep himself safe from his own family

someone said that the plants nayuta and denji have in their flat are aloe vera which needs v little to thrive and too much attention actually kills it. i know nothing about botany but if true it means nayuta fusses over her plant and tries hard to keep it alive to the point of inadvertently killing it. hhruuguuuahhhhhahhhahhahaurutg

#csm #eli talks #the second point that person made was that this was due to her Controlling Nature #which i do not necessarily agree on #she needs control over her environment yes but it seems to be..... a way to feel safe #to keep denji safe. #like she clearly knows some stuff about herself and about denji. she knows denji suffered #she knows bad people want to capture her and that denji is doing his best but they still have little #also denji has a lot of poverty anxiety and that probably passes onto her #like. if you read nayuta not as either a super well adjusted kid OR inherently a monster #it turns out that she very easily reads as a kid dealing with generational trauma and outside threats #and shes dealing with it the best she can! and its already a lot better than makima but yeah not always healthy! #but shes not evil or an angel shes a kid. #csm musings

What If…? Dark: Moon Knight (Vol. 1/2023), #1.

Writer: Erica Schultz; Penciler and Inker: Edgar Salazar; Colorist: Arif Prianto; Letterer: Cory Petit

#Marvel #Marvel comics #What If…? Dark: Moon Knight #Moon Knight comics #latest release #Luminary #Marlene Alraune #Jean-Paul Frenchie Duchamp #Frenchie’s own plot line here where he feels like he must honor Marc’s dying words to keep Marlene safe is subtle… #but it means so much to me #because there’s that tension between oh Frenchie understandably feels guilt and quite possibly feels a bit responsible #for not preventing Marc’s death (as irrational as that may be) so he’s trying to look out for Marlene #but Marlene’s obviously proven herself to be capable #so while /I/ for example don’t think Frenchie has any sort of misogynistic biases urging him to shelter Marlene #and he’s instead just trying to be a supportive friend for someone who might go overboard in a dangerous field in her grief #I can still feel where there might be some understandable tension there #of ‘you weren’t this protective of Marc? Do you see me as somehow less capable?’ #(when the answer could very well be ‘no it’s because even Marc straight up died and I don’t want to be unable to prevent #the loss of another friend’) #both are grieving though so I appreciate the subtlety of how neither of them are in the absolute best place and are just trying their best

What Kind Of "Hot" Are You?

drunk girl in the bathroom hot

you're both wasted, she just somehow does it so much better. you're crying, about something your stupid ex did or said. and suddenly she appears, looking like an angel aside from the slight sway in her step. she's helping you our of your slump on the floor when you grow pale and catastrophy strikes. you're the most disgusting you've ever been, and still, this stranger holds your hair and rubs soothing circles in your back. gives you a breath mint and sits you back against the wall, asking what happened. you tell her, and her glittery, perfectly made face turns sour. with her heels in hand, she loops your arm around her shoulders so she can help you walk to an uber she called for you. your ex says something snarky to you in passing on the way out, and for her it's the final straw. she whirls around, fire in her eyes and a set in her brow and she slaps him hard across the face. calls him a jerk or a dick or something like that, you can't remember, you were busy smiling at the stunned look on his face as she drags you both outside. before you get home, she gives you a hug and kind words in a bubbling voice and you're thankful for her. thankful there are people out there who look out for people like you, who stand up for people even when they might have trouble standing themselves.

#( what if we rewrite the stars ⋆｡°✩ ) about #((This actually works pretty well for a few reasons: #1) Cass is absolutely that girl who's drunk too but she'll help you out and talk to you and make sure you're comfortable and safe #even if she doesn't know you. #2) As with most people- her inhibitions are lowered when she's drunk. That also means some of the sweetheart act falls away and she's more #free to let out some of that pent up anger that she's so good at hiding; and #3) Sober Cass will stick up for anyone else even if she can't stick up for herself and she will *fight* if it comes to it. #Sober Cass will not initiate a fight though. She'll just scold someone or chew them out with words unless things get physical. #DRUNK Cass though? Oh you can be SURE if someone was being a jerk she'd SLAP THEM. And it that turned into #full on FIST FIGHTING so be it. Should she do that? Probably not. But she's got some self defense training and she will USE IT. #She's small and she's quick and she knows how to use someone's weight against them if need be. She also has a pretty high pain tolerance tb #So she's in no way *guaranteed* to win. She might end up getting the hell beaten out of her #BUT SHE'S GONNA TRY. She might even put someone in their place by doing so. (She won't use her powers tho. She's smarter than that ^^;) #Keep in mind that she'll (drunk) slap someone for being a jerk but she wouldn't really be thinking about the possibility #that it might turn into an actual fight soooo... she's not technically out here trying to start anything. #Just that drunk Cass would slap someone if they deserved it even if that meant accidentally getting into a fight ^^;)) #((Tho even drunk Cass won't usually put up much of a fight for HERSELF. She'll let t most things slide if they happen to her.)) #( dancing in the moonlight ⋆｡°✩ ) dash games

[scionshtola]

i started writing a whole thing about mir and her mom and then i realized i accidentally gave the briadis family the perfect set up for a tragic family empire tv show

#her mom is a powerful merchant who wants to pass the business on to her kids #her oldest brother is being groomed for the job but he’s better at and prefers life as a ship captain #no matter how hard they try to bring him home! #her oldest sister wants the job TOO MUCH and tries to hard but it’s not good at it #and their mom kind of disdains her for it. lol #elaine is smart enough and good enough with people to do it but she’s too soft #and wants to burn the whole thing down bc they sold mir to the order and stopped her sending letters to her #mir’s younger siblings are enjoying traveling as part of a ships crew while they work their way up but i don’t think their mom #has high hopes for them. #ironically given mir’s personality she might have been good at it if she’d been trained!! #and their mom knows this and knew it before she sold mir to the order but she was never going to let a magianis have control of it #which brings me back to the thing that started this: mir’s mom genuinely thought it was best to sell her to the order bc she couldn’t #protect mir from the consequences of being magianis and thought being trained by the order was the best way to keep her safe #and that if they paid for her they would think of her as an investment (merchant brain logic that was also just her pacifiying herself into #thinking it was right. did she actually believe this?? would it have mattered?? well. who can say!) #they do all have names i just can’t off the top of my head remember ahdhdjsk #oc: mirren sero #i need a text post tag #when was the last time i wrote a wall of tags about her…i miss her #i should add. her mom thought it would keep mir safe but also it was a convenient way to get her out of the way. so

wataru giving me his mask(wailing and sniffling super hard

#🐾.txt #I LIKE THINKING THAT. he'd trust me that much. even if im not the smartest and stuff i like thinking he could feel safe around me.... #id probably have it on my shelf next to other things i like and even if i dont understand all of the intent that was behind #wataru giving me her mask. but i think she'd notice how i always keep it on display and keep it clean. also dont tell her this but id 100% #cuddle with it when i fall asleep if ive had a particularly bad day and she can't be there #IDK i like thinking about this. her mask is an extension of herself shes giving it to me i always keep it well taken care of etc etc #i think she'd be so super happy. although one time ive probably forgotten to put it back up on my shelf after cuddling it while i nap and #she's seen. and id get mega red embarrassed and try to come up with some lie but wataru would just laugh and cover my face in kisses... tch

[emosyzoth]

Whoever made the Syzoth/Ashra post to break me trust.... You will be dealt with

#“do you think were soulmates in every universe?” “i thought i lost mine in this one” oh my god he belives 'the one' for him is dead and gone #that he'll never come to love another again much less deserves to because he couldnt even keep her safe #so whats stopping from something happening once he lowers his guard and decides to open his heart up to another #how can he be sure nothing will happen and it'll be the blood on his hands once again. WHAT IF WE ALL KILLED OURSELVES #Ashra telling tanya “I envy what you have with mileena. I wish to have it with syzoth” #do you think she envied their relationship even more because they came together despite the circumstances #and figures she'll never get to havw that herself bc she sees how deeply affected syzoth has been by everything #that he very well might not evwr move on #someone hold me. please for rhe love of god before i pass out

[varibean]

thinking about my never satisfied au again and really all you have to know is that Hugo, Nuru, and Yong are all actual monster creatures and yet Varian continues to be the least stable 

#zk.txt #and he's the one in charge of their emotional physical and mental well beings! They're Fucked! #not really he takes very good care of them he's just constantly at the fucking tip of Also Becoming A Monster Creature #nuru and yong put him on a pedestal bc he's the guy who keeps them from going full husk and who's helping them #and who saved them from the situations that made them like that to begin with #meanwhile hugo is the only one who's like 'this is literally just some guy who is about to snap like a string holding up a piano pls chill' #varian: yeah my mom might've turned herself into a husk. i might've had to kill her. i might still be dealing with that guilt. #varian: i might be putting the well being of three ppl on my shoulders. i might be trying to keep them safe and stable by any means #varian: those means might be becoming more and more morally dubious as i try to continue my mothers work and fall into the same patterns

[wizardnuke]

beau....ohhuuugh

#youre telling me this character that was originally supposed to have frat boy vibes didn't keep that vibe bc it was a front she had put on #to protect herself... ure saying asshole with a heart of gold over here... angry women supremacy. I think abt her so much all the time #she's The Character I can't look directly at bc. Well. day one when I watched cr and saw her I was like #oh yes this one I love her <3 I understand her <3 and by GOD do I understand her. too much. ow! #characters that scramble your brain #she's so smart and she's so angry and she was talked down to and ignored and treated like a burden for so long ohhh #she's not a burden. she made a show of shoving her way into tmn but they had always wanted her there #even when they fought. when she started shit or when someone else started shit and she spoke up #she's an extra perspective she's incredibly loyal she wants people to be safe and sane and she helps with that in her way #oh my god and she is so nonjudgemental. caleb told her his backstory in ep fuckin 18. that's SO early. and she gave him some shit for it #for a while but when it comes down to it she didn't tell the others and she didn't start a fight then and there #she cares. she's just not the most careful. but then she learns how to be. ohhhhhuggh #her character growth was her learning that she's respected and an equal and feeling less like a burden and more like a friend and getting #VALIDATED. being told by not only tmn but The Cobalt Fucking Soul that what had happened to her shouldnt have happened #I am going to. Die #also DEEPLY insane to me that it took as long as it did for her backstory stuff to come up not because I think it should have come up #sooner but because that's so thematically appropriate. you have sea gods and evil archmages and archfey cultists and yasha's missing #memories and then you have a girl from a winery who wasn't raised kindly or fairly and that's it. the hag wasn't her fault. it shouldn't #have been something she had to deal with. most of it is so mundane but that trauma is treated with the same seriousness as everything else #hbbngngnhngnnhnh...

Thinking of how I'm having my version of FNAF movie Cassidy being (somewhat) like Kit from the IDW comics👍💥

#time diary(?) #audrey/kellie's time diary #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #fnaf movie #fnaf movie cassidy #kitsunami the fennec #kit the fennec #cassidy & abby have that kit & tails vibes going on #cassidy may have killed aunt jane and then just went like “silly aunt jane. she fell asleep😊” #and then bam. (explodes) #its so fucked up with the theory of cassidy being an afton & being one of his father's own victims. waugh #and i like to the reason why he went after abby is because someone can now finally understand him and listen to his words #that while yes the yellow rabbit is amazing. hes still dangerous and he needs to be like the rest of them because thats what he promised #cassidy might be older but to me he is still childish. and will (maybe) stay in that childish mindset of wanting to prove others wrong #that he is right and he can be useful and he is just. the best of the best #but he is like. outcast from the others because he always wants to prove them wrong about the yellow rabbit because #he just knows that the yellow rabbit is oddly familiar and he sounds just like their killer. slightly different? yeah. but still!! #so when cassidy meets abby: someone whos like them(cassidy to me uses they/them but sometimes & only rarely uses #he/him. <- hc). he just cant help but want to keep her safe and look after her. even when abby becomes bitter when she's older #<- well somewhat bitter. abby understands but is still immature in how to take things??? dunno how to explain #but before ever meeting with abby he stayed with Vanessa and did everything he can (silently) to stay by her side/take care of her #because well. thats what siblings do right?. and vanessa cleary wasnt taking care of herself #etc etc. i think you all get the idea??? yeah 💥
