this year my challenge for everyone is to unlearn the association between love and morality. love is not something that is inherently morally good, and the absence of love is not something that is inherently bad. sex without love isn't morally bankrupt, it's just an action. people without love aren't less kind or less good, they're just people. when we can get past this false (and often unnoticed) dichotomy of good love/evil lovelessness then i think we are going to be able to take leaps and bounds in sex positivity, aro advocacy, certain discussions of mental health...

#and also. not the direct focus. but love doesn't make things good. you can be in love and do terrible terrible things.#people do bad things in the name of love and in despite of love all the time.#but!! imagine a world where people could exist as people and not be demonized.#sex positivity means being cool about All sex. reexamine your internal systems of moral judgement.#this goes for sex workers. for aroallo people. especially aroallo men. for aro people in general who might enjoy sex.#and frankly i think it can easily bleed into discussions about mental health disorders around 'not feeling' certain things #especially demonizing ppl who don't feel as much empathy. i think there's definitely a correlation between that and the emphasis on love.#our support needs to go out to Everybody and i think these things are all structured together in one way or another!!#it might not be immediately obvious but when i tell you it all leads back to amatonormativity..... little bit wild.... large bit wild....#anyway. horror movie psychopath 'oh he can't feel emotions or love' damn alright. well. let's take a closer look at that.#silly that there's an association between lack of love and Murdering. feel like that might affect some stuff.#love is just an emotion/a feeling it doesn't mean anything about you one way or another #same with empathy. you can feel it all you want but it doesn't inherently change the actions you choose to take #anyway. thesis statement. there is a socially constructed link between love and morality. unlearn that.#kiss kiss (<— lovelessly)#aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #talking #aroace #aspec #sex positivity

I have a feeling that Sanji and Zoro’s death pact will be properly resolved in Elbaf, as it certainly doesn’t feel like we’re done with it. And while Elbaf is gearing up to be very Usopp-centric (and I can not overstate how hyped I am to see him take the spotlight again, finally), let’s not forget that this all ties back to Little Garden, the arc that properly introduced Zoro and Sanji’s rivalry by paralleling them with two rival giants who fought each other every day for over a century, but who also lost themselves in their grief when one thought the other death. The parallel isn’t even subtle, Little Garden’s biggest landmarks are the remnants of Dorry and Brogy’s dinosaur hunting competition. You know. The very same competition Zoro and Sanji posed to each other at the start of the arc?

But here’s the thing. I’m a little worried about how it’s going to be resolved. Because. Despite how readily Zoro agreed to kill Sanji if need be, he must have known that the crew would never forgive him. Zoro is Luffy’s specialest guy but Luffy would not accept any excuse as to why Sanji had to die. Nor anyone else in the crew. But. Does Sanji realize that?

Does he know that killing him would literally be the hardest thing Zoro would ever do, because it would mean literally betraying his Captain and crew? Luffy said he can’t become Pirate King without Sanji, and Zoro and Luffy swore they’d commit fucking ritualistic suicide if they got in the way of each other’s dreams, so does Sanji know where that would leave the swordsman in this case? With no Captain, no crew, and yet another dead rival and best friend (who, mind you, began to live in fear of his own biology betraying him right before dying. but the parallels between Kuina and Sanji and how they relate to Zoro could be a long ass post for another day).

I think he doesn’t know. But he can’t find out how Zoro would mourn him unless the pact actually follows through. But still, I don’t think Oda would kill Sanji, cause that’s no way to resolve this issue. So here’s my speculation about how I think it could potentially play out, following that initial line of thinking of the death pact’s resolution being set in Elbaf, specifically because of Sanji and Zoro’s parallels to Dorry and Brogy.

Like Brogy, Zoro would have to believe that he killed Sanji. That he won their final duel. He’d have to believe that Sanji has fallen and, also like Brogy, have to face that grief and hurt all alone. But in the end, like Dorry, Sanji would survive, having never actually been hurt. Because their edges have dulled after fighting for so long, no longer as capable of landing killing blows as they thought. “Not even the blades of Elbaf could endure two giants fighting for 100 years”? Something of the sort. And maybe this line of speculation is simplistic or optimistic, but the chances of it playing out like this aren’t zero, so just in case, I would want to be able to say that I called it.

#i also cant rlly see the death pact being brought up again anytime before we get to elbaf proper #and any time afterward itd just feel. out of place? like too personal a conflict to be placed into the final arc where the strawhats-#-are supposed to be at their strongest and ready for their final challenges. Infighting at that stage would feel distracting? Melodramatic?#Zoro’s also not gonna finish fighting Mihawk and then go fight Sanji like it’s items on a murder grocery list #specially because it feels weird to place his showdown with his current friend-rival AFTER fulfilling his promise to Kuina? And not before?#like idk idk Oda is very meticulous about fitting all his plotlines together I’m sure he’ll know what to do better than me #but uh. This is my pitch on how and when it could play out #one piece #my post #zosan #??? I MEAN #you cant discuss the death pact without making it a little bit zosan #idk how to tag this tho or how many people i’d like to see this. hn

Happy birthday, @a-very-fond-farewell! I figured you would enjoy seeing Mr. Abyss in a silly apron ;)

And Ga On be like: "DON'T MIND IF I DO"

... possibly connected to Who Holds the Devil, I guess, since Yo Han is cooking? The future we're all longing for, or something. Especially Ga On since he finally gets to bury his nose against Yo Han's neck like he's always wanted. That boy.

#Kang Yo Han #Kim Ga On #Gahan #The Devil Judge #Art #Fan Art #KDrama #LOOK #Maybe I feel a little bit guilty about chapter 38 #So here #Have some domestic fluff #Also #I'm still trying to figure out how to shade in a simpler way #Not sure if I can call this simple tho x'D #But it IS pretty! :D #I am also on a quest to put Yo Han in the fluffiest sweaters ever #And yes #The Mole is present #I'm pretty sure people would murder me if I forgot about it xD

tw (mostly mild) depictions of violence and blood, bc it's involves vampires, also major spoilers for a fic im working on rn

so

i may or may not have a vampire kimchay fic idea

except the execution of it is going to have me combusting into flames??

anyways, thoughts about kim finding an annoying baby bat in the forest. he wants to ignore it, but he can't. so fine, he takes it in.

except...

kim definitely doesn't know how to care for a feral bat.

anyways! cue sweet/fluffy/bat-and-vampire shenanigans! like babybat so sated with blood that he becomes a little drunk, or at least the bat-version of drunk. babybat who flies into the window trying to escape because he's not good at echolocatio. babybat who sneaks into kim's closets to bite holes in every single one of his silk shirts.

vampire!kim somehow being whipped af for this cute but annoying little shit that he's somehow adopted. feeds him blood pudding and gives him many head scritches. shows him his red string murder board and rambles about his murder plans and all. vampire!kim who started off detesting or tolerating this pest at best but unable to imagine starting a day without the weight of babybat curled up on his chest.

then the murder plan happens. kim wants korn (his father/sire) dead, bc who doesn't, and he sneaks in to "kill" him.

he's gone in, wooden stake and holy water and all.

he goes bat-shit crazy. bodies of full-sized vampires drop to the floor around them as kim works with ruthless efficiency. he's memorised the techniques of his father's men and their weaknesses. he's dreamed about this for centuries. and it's pays off.

and then enters korn.

korn was always going to be the issue.

kim had no plans of returning alive - he knows to end lorn by all means necessary even if it means his own life - but korn has gotten more powerful. sire bonds are difficult to break, and even if kim has been diluting the bond and doing his absolute best to weaken their link, korn still has kim in an iron grip.

(if you'd read my phayurain vampire fic, there's this thing about sires being able to control their fledglings because of a bond they share when a vampire (sire) turns someone into a vampire (their fledgling). )

anyways.

when suddenly a weight in his pocket starts to stir. it's the little shit, the bat. and kim's all panicked because little shit is small and harmless and now barely the size of half his palm? like, kim's on his knees and has his hands shaking with effort not to plunge the stake into his own chest, by the command of korn.

it takes just a second, but bat flutters out of kim's pocket. bat, with all the rage that a bat can muster, swings himself right on korn's face and digs his fangs into korn's eyes. the eyes are part of what maintains the sire-control that korn has over kim, and kim is able to use that split second to drive the stake into korn's heart.

the moment that korn falters, falling to the ground with a thud, is the moment that the bat drops to the floor.

kim thinks like yeah, fuck, that must've taken a lot out of this poor baby bat, and god that fall looked bad, when all of a sudden the bat is expanding. almost like his bones are breaking (and kim winces because that sounds anguishing) and reforming and he keeps growing bigger and bigger and bigger until kim realised that this was no bat.

this was a vampire, trapped in the form of a bat.

this is his fledgling, his fledgling who was supposed to have died.

chay.

yeah anyways!! fun little story that i'm working on rn!! lmk what you think/want to see, if you got to the end of this! !

One of the things that’s incredibly funny to me about Murderbot and ART’s meeting is that Murderbot is being so ridiculous about it.

ART: *bumps up the life support to make its construct passenger more comfortable, watches shows with its new friend, offers free surgery and advice to pass as a human, watches over Murderbot as it goes to do dangerous things, watches out for Murderbot’s new humans*

Murderbot: This asshole boat is trying to kill me and I hate it so, so much. Yes I’m being a brat about it, no I don’t intend to stop-

#19th #November #2022 #November 19th 2022 #secunit #murderbot #asshole research transport #the murderbot diaries #tmd #elk text #its unreliable narration is so fucking funny if you take two seconds to look at it from an outside perspective #murderbot even knows it's being petulant at times it just can't stop #truly the most relatable of all murder-based constructs tbh #like to be clear it has totally justifiable reasons for not wanting to do certain things #but it also can't communicate these reasons bc it's not in touch with its emotions #and can't verbalize what it's feeling #so it's stuck throwing a tantrum basically #which is so relatable that it is physically painful to me a little bit #this is the same character that took nearly 4 books to admit that its friend is its friend #....and also about 4 books to admit that ART was its friend #that tracks

au where there's like a paperwork error and sasuke ends up on team eight. but no one else's placement changes. so kakashi has to deal with just naruto and sakura, who isn't filtering herself at all. or better yet, sasuke gets swapped with kiba, so kakashi has to deal with three loudmouth hotheads, one of whom can just track him down whenever he's late.

meanwhile kurenai's first lesson is homicide 101 and sasuke thinks he just hit the team jackpot

#naruto #team seven #team eight #uchiha sasuke #yuuhi kurenai #kurenai: ok kids now that we've all introduced each other i'm giving you a test to see if you're really ready to be genin #kurenai: the test is murder btw. afterwards we'll go over better and more creative ways to do murder #sasuke: this is the best possible thing that could have happened to me #meanwhile kakashi has a massive headache bc the only person on his team with any kind of volume control is akamaru #kakashi: ur the only one i can trust buddy #akamaru: bork #kakashi's ninken absolutely adore akamaru #sakura gets a headstart on medic-ing bc hana shows up to meet her lil bro's new team #also sasuke feels weird without someone challenging him to a fight every 20 minutes so he starts hoping one of his teammates will #shino gets sick of sasuke's incredibly awkward attempts at egging him on and persuades hinata to make sasuke her rival #yes they bond over their obsession with naruto what about it #hinata is. not good at being a rival #but she's trying #hinata: um sasuke-kun i bet. i bet. um i bet i can get to the top of this tree f-faster than you...#hinata: um but only by a little bit actually y-you'll be right behind me in fact you'll probably do it better but um.#sasuke: we can just start hitting each other if that's easier for you #hinata: oh cool just like my home life. yeah i can do that #shino: i'm a genius

rabbits scare me for the same reason babies scare me. not because of the harm they could do to me but because they are so small and constantly trying to die and there are so so so many ways to accidentally kill them.

but also slightly worse than babies because babies don't have razor sharp incisors that they might use to take you down with them.

#also there's something about rabbits that just unsettles me a little #not so much real rabbits those are cute until they yawn #but rabbits as a motif in media? Unsettling #it might be because back in the early youtube days I saw a video where someone did a prank with a creepy rabbit halloween mask #and it was really freaky looking and child me did Not like that #actually there was another youtube video I stumbled across around that time that was a short amateur horror film #about murderous androids with rabbit heads #so yeah actually it's entirely youtube's fault #the undead rabbit things in pinocchio actually freaked me out a bit

on one hand i do like eduarent bc theyre an interesting dynamic between the subtly obsessive freak and the naive arrogant fool esp in regards to how they interact and play around each others mere presences but on the other hand i think makoto should be allowed to skin laurent and eat his innards raw with zero legal repercussions

#.txt #i should go back and reread that fic in which makoto seduces laurent and uses that to get close to him so he can fuckgin murder him #i lvoe laurent but i love makoto MORE andwhile s2 is my fave makoto by virtue of being the most interesting and engaging to watch #its insane to me that makoto didnt get to stab laurent even a little bit about it #that rant mustve felt so cathartic- scream out what hes thought for years towards a guy that ruined his mental and life for a dead woman #dorothy being alive doesnt actually like. Change that laurent did all that bc he thought she was dead and wanted revenge #destroyed makoto's relationship w his father also... ohhhh laurent you are going to burn for this i swear it #gp #great pretender

truly at the end of the day its all about receiving validation

#<- was having a lot of fun drawing fat william till he stopped to think about what other people might think #<- very important that people like him just as much as i do #<- incredibly important (i love him so much and his character is so much more nuanced than the fandom ever gives him credit for #and he already gets shat on way too often by people who don't understand what they're talking about)#truly the amount of hate based around him being a murderer is insane. Brother he's not a real life murderer. he's not going to #come out of the screen and hurt you #I NEED PEOPLE TO AT LEAST LIKE HIM A LITTLE BIT *bursts into tears*#and i need validation #and getting people to simp for him and think oh hes hot 😳 is one of the easier and more entertaining ways to get nice comments #what i lack in skill and talent i can make up for in character design and suggestive subtext right?#ugh #i dunno it feels like the only way to get people to say sometjing nice about my art sometimes #don't get me wrong i adore drawing him slutty but. ougggghhhhhh #hope it doesnt sound like im implying he's less attractive if hes fat personally i think hes hot as fuck #its mostly about stupid ass conventionally attractive shit #and also that people get bullied for portraying him fat... That too #anyways #im normal again now #toxi.txt

sorry for haymitch posting constantly but the funniest thing to me is in his games there was nothing outwardly suggesting everything was poison but his paranoid ass saw fresh water and went "it's a trap" and the hilarious part is he was right

#:v #haymitch abernathy #the hunger games #Like his survided the hardest most dangerous games by not trusting anything #except mayslee and then you know. she dies bc he figured out the forcefield #The focus on forcefields in cf does drive me a little bit insane #in a good way I like the imagery of something used to trap being used as a weapon against the captors #does make me go a little crazy thinking about what this says abt haymitch tho #sure drunk 40 yr old who had his family murdered and was forced to watch 46 kids die isn't going to trust anyone #but why does a 16 yr old kid expect something horrible at every turn #to the point he only trusts someone after they save his life KINDA LIKE KATNISS HUH .#sorry those two drive me insane...........#Like yeah haymitch is also just incredibly clever to figure out the tricks but it says a lot abt his upbringing #healthy kids with healthy families don't expect everything to kill them is all I'm saying

for personal reasons, i really want to think about... Hunter getting older, processing his trauma (realizing it was trauma, it was abuse, it was wrong and it hurt him), and reaching the point in his recovery where he realizes

Oh, Wait, You All Kind Of Just Knew, Didn’t You?

i want to see him getting to the point where he looks back at his own actions and behavior and the way Belos treated him and realizes that, no, he wasn’t just doing a really good job of covering it up and acting normal, it was actually incredibly obvious that he was being abused

and every single adult around him noticed and for 16 years, none of them did or said a goddamn thing

and i want him to get angry about it

#yes the ones like darius or raine who obviously CARED also had extremely compelling reasons to not be ABLE to do anything #belos was the emperor he disappeared and murdered people yeah i know but also consider:#it really fucking sucks to realize it was actually super obvious what was happening to you and no one did anything #and i just think hunter deserves a little bit of being pissed off and hurt about what was done to him and how badly he was failed #without having to take anyone else's point of view into account. for a little bit.#hunter toh #abuse #the owl house

might go without saying, but rewatching midnight mass knowing you'll finish the last episode less than an hour before your class? not a good idea.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS.#anyway i've been sobbing how's everyone else's morning KSDJHDJS #my eyes are so fucking red i'm about to look a Mess #monsignior pruitt one of my fucking FAVORITE complex characters ever written. everyone say thank you mike flanagan #there's so much more nuance to both his villain And redemption arc that you simply do Not pick up on on a first watch #especially if you knew jack shit about catholicism going in and were struggling with all them bible quotes. like me HSDJK #'there's nothing in the scripture that absolves you of personal accountability' to 'bev showed me this passage that absolves me'....ohh man #speaking of whom! bev gets worse every single time i see her #and rahul kohli breaks my heart a little bit more every time <3 #also kate siegel's Bloody Murder Scream TM jumpscared the hell out of my neighbors SDGHJKS i heard the 'jesus christ' through the wall

I just finished padawan by kiersten white and had a blast with it -- it was exactly the kind of thing my brain craved this week, just some nice character study and adventure story stuff for my brain to chill in. thoughts:

a) I love obi-wan and his poor anxiety-ridden teenage self so so much. peak a delight to have in class to the point of nervous break representation, someone help him. local boy manages to become parentified child to an absent father somehow. that part where he's so afraid he's so bad and useless that the force itself might just decide it doesn't want him after all........ heartbreaking. that's exactly what I would have thought at sixteen too probably. (also my personal headcanon has always been that obi-wan is on the ace spectrum, so that was a very nice thing to find supported in this book! canon is vast and can support any number of stances that way honestly everyone should go hog wild with it in whatever manner they please, but that's always been my vibe)

b) qui-gon fucking jinn if you don't step up and do something to help the child in your charge with his ACTUAL DEBILITATING ANXIETY DISORDER RUNNING HIM RAGGED other than ask him to meditate so help me I will come over there and do maul's work for him ahead of time I swear to fucking god

c) no, really, it says some not very good things about qui-gon's mentorship abilities that obi-wan really only manages to grow and be calmer when he's outside of his influence. I know this book means you to come away with the feeling that obi-wan takes a big step towards enlightenment and adulthood on this trip (and I do think that's also true to be clear!), but there is a part of me that also thinks that just as much as personal and spiritual development what we're seeing here is an avoidant attachment style definitively entrenching itself as a result of having no adult that can be consistently trusted to meet him emotionally. (which also makes a horrible kind of sense, thinking about what obi-wan and anakin's relationship is going to be like in the future -- obi-wan is avoidant and self-contained when it comes to trying to deal with his emotions, and anakin skews far more anxious and towards lashing out, and they never quite understand each other for all the love that is there. you can trace that all the way back here. sins of the master, huh.) obi-wan finds some agency and catharsis in being able to help a group of abandoned children, you say. hm. I'm sure this means nothing and has no parallels in his own inner world. you let the kid think you'd completely abandoned him instead of communicating with him openly for like five minutes. For His Own Good of course. Wow I didn't realize I was this angry about this but here I am once again livid on obi-wan's behalf, actually. 'I'm an incredible teacher and this lack of honest emotional communication I'm fostering in favour of (benign!) manipulation is never going to come back and bite the jedi order in the ass, surely'; the qui-gon jinn story

#as someone who has been asked to meditate to cure mental illness since I was like twelve: obi-wan should be allowed to kill. murder even #star wars #padawan 2022 #obi wan kenobi #I may of course be doing some projecting here but knowing how it turns out..... I don't think I'm entirely off base either #I uh. I wonder a little bit at how the jedi actually approach mental health in general because obi wan is A Mess in this #and no one fuckign seems to notice or care b/c he's obsessive about not making it anyone else's problem lmao #he's been allowed to develop crippling eldest daughter syndrome among a bunch of enlightened force sensitives #there is so clearly a lot of warmth and wonderful things in the jedi temple don't get me wrong at all! but uh.#they've clearly got some weak spots that will also be there by the time it's anakin's turn with the generational trauma lol #star wars meta
