i know for sure if Dawnpelt was a tom everyone would want her dead and no one would bat an eye, but bc she is a lil messy girl it's 'mean spirited' and 'too intense'? okay lmao 👍

HUH??

#i think this is a good point to stop responding to asks about the dawnpelt situation!!!! #theres a response from the og anon clarifying what they meant which i'll be putting in the replies of the original post #and a really lovely character analysis i'll definitely be responding to #i dont want to clog up my blog too much with these asks so i'll stop responding to asks until after i post the next moon #if anyone wants to disagree with this person you can do so in the replies #chitchat #ask #for the record. i disagree with anon. first of all i think people generally think dawnpelt is being an ass. no one is defending her actions #secondly i think people are historically way harsher on female characters in media #for example think of ashfur's treatment by fans+authors compared to squilf's or dovewing or even canon dawnpelt

ok so it’s fully established that house has an incredibly hard time verbalizing his emotions (specifically the positive ones) due to a fear of rejection and a deep deep aversion to displaying vulnerability

which makes the incredibly few times he’s admitted to someone that he cares about them, well, incredible. to list every single time that i can remember off the top of my head here: 

instance one: he tells stacy he loves her directly before he goes into a coma.  the statement itself is undeniably romantic in nature. 

instance two: he tells cuddy he loves her after they hook up and she gives him a whole long speech on how she doesn’t want him to change. this is the culmination of years of dancing around each other. the statement is undeniably romantic in nature. 

instance three: he tells wilson their friendship means more to house than any patient

instance four: he tells wilson he likes him

instance five: i mean i can keep going. there’s wilsons transplant surgery there’s everything with amber theres just so much. anyway

all of which leads me to the conclusion that of the three people house has ever sincerely expressed affection for two of those are people he’s canonically in love with which means that the third one must also be someone he’s [gunshots]

#like i very much understand that telling someone you love them and telling someone you like them are two different sentences but in this #case the deviation is EXCEEDINGLY easy to explain the first two are people who have firstly already told him they love him #which greatly reduces risk of rejection and secondly in both those instances the people he's saying it to are already committed so #really what is he risking. whereas in wilson's case he displays his affections through spending time with the man when they're on good terms #and it is when he thinks he's losing wilson that he starts verbally presenting his heart on a platter. furthermore he cannot say that he #loves wilson because wilson has not firstly said the same to him. telling wilson he likes him is far lower risk than telling a man #currently insisting you're not friends that you love him. that's simply not a risk he's willing to take #anyway sorry for being crazy and writing a novel in the tags carry on #house #wilson #hilson #lisa cuddy #huddy #stacy warner #house md #hatecrimes md #also something about how wilson is the only one he verbalizes affection for throughout the show #oh fuck wait just remembered that one time he told wilson he loved him when wilson upped his pain meds in the hospital #which still mcfucking fits. anwyay

If Dream of the Endless had access to the Am I The Asshole subreddit "Am I the Asshole for condemning my lover to Hell?"

"I was informed quite recently by a friend that this is a good place to receive unbiased judgement on past actions of mine that were not well received by people. As there are few beings I trust to ask for unbiased, well-meaning judgement from, I turn to the internet.

After a recent excursion to Hell, my raven saw fit to inform me that condemning a past lover to Hell might be seen, in my raven's words "as a dick move." My sibling, who has seen fit to give a mortal the tools to imprison me for a century and has made an attempt on my life, has criticized me before for the decision I made to condemn my lover to Hell.

Our story took place 10,000 years ago. She was a mortal queen and very beautiful. She was desired by many, but she refused them. One day she laid eyes on me, not knowing who or what I am, and decided that I would be her lover. She pursued me, and eventually found me in my realm. We began to get to know each other. She truly loved me at first. And I loved her. No one had ever loved me enough to go to the lengths she had to find me. I offered to make her the queen of my realm. But when she truly began to understand what it is that I am, and that I would not abandon my realm to be her lover, she became fearful. I did not want her to leave me, so when she ran, I ran after her. She hurt herself in the hopes that it would make me disgusted with her and leave. When she saw that she did not scare me away, she allowed me to heal her. We made love all through the night.

In the morning, her city was destroyed, for the First Circle had decreed that one of the Endless cannot love a mortal. We had both known that. She had tried to put an end to our relationship before it was too late, but in the end our desire for each other had overcome all else.

In her despair, she killed herself. I was distraught, I would have made her my queen. But she chose death over me. She chose to abandon me, she chose to abandon hope, for death. Still, I would have forgiven her for that transgression. I would still have her as my queen. I would still love her.

But she rejected me. Even though she loved me, she would rather die than be with me. So I told her that I would offer my love a final time, but if she once again would choose death over me, that I would condemn her soul to Hell.

She did not answer at first. She said that we were never meant to be together and that darker things would come to be if we tried to be together. I asked her once again as she was making the journey to the Sunless Lands. She told me to leave her. I asked her for the last time. She refused me and I condemned her to Hell.

She sought me out, only to reject me. To reject dreams by killing herself. She loved me and yet would choose to die rather than be with me. She would choose Hell rather than be with me even though she sought me first. I felt that my actions were justified. She was not moved by the pain that her actions caused me. What could I have done except punish her for her callousness?

I felt I was completely justified in my actions until very recently when I saw her in Hell. I had not thought of her in a long time, though I still loved her. But my recent experience of being imprisoned for a century had changed me in ways that I have only recently admitted to myself. For the first time I wondered if perhaps my original judgement to condemn her to Hell was made in error. So I am turning to here at the recommendation of a friend. Am I the Asshole?"

#dream of the endless #okay so to start this might not be perfectly in character #but in order to make it plausible that dream would turn to the subreddit #i had to make him just slightly more self aware than would have been a perfect characterization of him #secondly this is from dream's pov so of course it's not an unbiased view of what happened #thirdly i made some changes from the story tales in the sand because i don't think that story is an exact retelling of what happened #because firstly it's not a love story it's a story warning against the dangers of pursuing a power beyond your understanding #it treats dream as just a storytelling device rather than a lover #which he is both so you need both to characterize him accurately #plus nada still offered that he join her in the waking world so i don't think dream was as bad in actuality as tales in the sand might lead #one to believe #though dream is still absolutely the asshole here #trying to make him look sympathetic even from his own perspective was kind of hard #anyway #but this was fun to write #i think some of dream's problems would have been solved had to consulted the am i the asshole subreddit #he's not unreasonable #he'll fix his mistakes once he's realized he's made them #but he has a tendency to have extremely bad judgement on occasion

just curious poll no. 3

#not tournament related #a3! act addict actors #a3! #a3! polls #for me it depends on which one i like more LMAO #so like for autumn's debut play i prefer JP's how wonderfully picaresque over EN's roman episode #bc i feel like that captures the play's setting and premise better #but for kumon's debut play i prefer EN's love out of left field over JP's first crush baseball #firstly bc of the play on words with 'left field' meaning smth unexpected & it being a baseball term & the play being ABOUT baseball #and secondly bc of the alliteration with the L and F sounds #im like 60% sure the actual JP name in japanese is probably some kind of pun too?? “hatsukoi koshien” but idk what it is 🤔

I want you to focus on the present moment. The now. Often as you can, think of where you are, and when. Think of who you are.

RTD is so in love with David Tennant that it makes him look stupid, huh.

#listen friends i dont know what to feel #i love everyone involved #I'm so happy that Donna has her memories back and will spend the rest of her life with her best friend by her side #but that ending felt like it was straight out of a christmas Hallmark movie; my teeth ache from all that saccharine sweetness #I'll be able to justify it if RTD is setting the stage for bringing Tennant and Tate into his UNIT spin-off which seems to be in the works #if that's not the reason it's hard for me to swallow this plot twist with the biregeneration #firstly: RTD did something similar at the end of the fourth season—splitting the Doctor to “give” one version to Rose #it's a bit annoying to see him essentially do the same now by letting another version of the Doctor to stay with Donna #secondly: I missed the emotion in this #I spent a week bracing myself for heartbreak but we went a bit too far in the other direction #we got a cutesy ending where everything resolves through a deus ex machina #yet it’s those bitter and grief-soaked moments are what RTD has always excelled at #when it comes to the Doctor's regeneration and farewells to companions #it's hard to feel much about this plot development #some things should remain final and some goodbyes and endings are unavoidable #the conclusion of Rose’s arc (both from s2 and s4) or Donna's ending in s4 #were among the most emotionally intense moments in the history of television #I missed a bit of that here #perhaps if there were more bitterness in the 14th Doctor's ending if he had to pay some PRICE for this biregeneration #(like not getting his TARDIS #being told that the Fifteenth takes over the regeneration ability #and the Tennant Doctor will die of old age) #emotionally it would have provided viewers with a cool punch #without that it seems like RTD wanted to have his cake and eat it too #have a new Doctor and give his old characters a last-minute happy ending that doesn't make much logical sense #I was hoping to feel more considering how much I love these characters #but my main reaction is an eyeroll #on the positive side I really hope to see Neil Patrick Harris in the show again he was a great villain #and Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor is already so freaking great!!! <3 #doctor who

Oh noooo I just realized pascha this year is on the same day as mikuexpo 😭 I can still do both but I'll be soooo tired 💔 but I refuse to miss either

#first of all i already bought the miku tickets secondly i want that lamb and tsoureki so yeah im going to both if it kills me (it might) #i clarify pascha specifically bc its not a different day than easter. tho its more or less the same thing w slightly different traditions #if it was ''regular'' easter it wouldnt matter to me bc we do not celebrate that so. it does not impact me LOL #regular in quotes obviously bc again its just a different version but ppl here generally think of the catholic easter as The easter #hence. clarifying #spring break is centered on when easter is but a week or two later we'd have Our easter (pascha) so i got more days off #to like go participate in events leading up to it. which is annoying on one hand but also on the other to me as a kid it was like #epic win. spring break 2

plus hasan and you are defffffff going to talk shit about other people on the floor or in pregnancy or labor/birthing classes, you know when you’re sitting on stream just chatting about what you did that morning and you mention you two went to a class about birthing practices/techniques/i don’t know how to explain but preparing your body for birth lol. and you two are just appalled at some of the names people have chose for their babies, the cliques of parents and how they all think their parenting way is better than whatever yours might be, unsolicited advice, etc.

people are just obsessed, yall are already cool parents🤭🤭

You keep it as vague as possible while still recounting it, because you're not trying to shame but sometimes people need to be more than side-eyed. You two are just on stream, or the pod, talking about conversations you've overheard, "tips" people have given you to help not spoil the kids, the way other people fawn over Hasan being present and already being such "an active parent". If chats was entertained by you talking about you coworkers and the going ons with your job, they are not prepared for the birthing class stories.

#“someone approached me and told me she could tell I'm havin girls becuase girls take your beauty. which first of all rude #secondly untrue and thirdly shes one to talk????“ #y'all are just talking shit and chat loves it #hasanabi #hasanabi x reader #hasan x reader #bohogothic #dad!hasan

I have to pry myself off the computer for real but tomorrow will someone please talk to me about Love Between Fairy & Devil now that I've finally watched it a year after the rest of the internet, and how Fairy Danyin is the best character, and Danyin/Changheng is the most lesbian (and/or gnc)/gay solidarity ship ever, and I am so stunned that they textually ended with Danyin admitting her original thing for Gods of War is that she wanted to become one herself - i.e. there was some "idk if I want to be him or be with him" to her Changheng pining - and with her demonstratively labeling Changheng her xiongdi???????? They are bros in every lifetime!! And should go on Chidi/Danyin Changheng/Ronghao double dates!!!

Someone please talk about this with me.... tomorrow.

#also was very into the canon ships. i wanted to hold out forever for xiao lanhua/jieli and i still do love them #but FIRSTLY yes ok dongfang qingcang and his cheekbones and his childlike innocence hidden beneath Devil robes compelled me #SECONDLY when shangque started getting jealous of jieli for thinking another man was stupid #and yelled like 'i'm the stupidest one here!!!' or something to prove he was the man of her dreams. he won me over forever. #ronghao committing all the war crimes for 30k years just so he could see his shifu again also compelled me #he makes an A+ sadface #but i was even more compelled by his ambivalent love for changheng #and i just can't get over how much danyin can be shipped with every woman in the story #who would have guessed it when she was first introduced? #SO many terrifically fun things done with her character #ily qu shui #xiao run died for you and the narrative confirmed that love was DEEP BROTHERHOOD #DEEP BROTHERHOOD!!! not last inning romance like i expected #but just the truest brotherly love which was stronger than anything that mortal felt for fairies he'd been dreaming about but barely knew #ok i think if i tag rambled for this long if i tag this it won't show up in the tags... sorry to fairy devil connoisseurs if it does #sorry but also if YOU wanna talk to me about my important danyin feelings please do feel empowered #clj

RANNI DOESN'T *WANT* RADAHN DEAD WE DO THAT ON OUR OWN WHILE SHE'S SLEEPING!!!

Unless I'm missing some dialogue from Ranni after you learn this.

I mean don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure if you told Ranni beforehand she wouldn't be overly torn up about it and tell you to get his ass, especially given his current state.

(A lot of people that blame Ranni for Radahn's death seem to ignore, for some reason, that Radahn is in a state of constant suffering and wants to die, which is the reason Jerren holds the festival.)

#me vs elden ring #idk I see so many 'Ranni killed Radahn' type takes and it's like. For starters you do that. #Secondly he's in a state of constantly dying/rotting when we find him and he's like a rabid animal #that needs to be put down. His most trusted soldier agrees. #killing him is a mercy. #what kind of stans are you... #'Ranni said 'murder my older brother in cold blood or I'll have your head tarnished' very disrespectful' #honestly I'd stan Ranni harder if she did say that why was literally no one like 'hm maybe the stars not moving is relevant' #we don't know much about how fate works in Elden Ring exactly but you have to wonder #whether Radahn's actions had some repercussions. Beyond keeping Ranni's fate in stasis #which I also don't think was his intention or done on behalf of the golden order. But it was a bonus for them #or maybe it's something that came to bite them in the ass in the end. Hard to say. Stagnation and all that. #also interesting that the Elden Beast is a fallen star; what else might have been kept out

are you going to judge me if i cast off this shawl and immediately start another one by the same designer

#this shawl designer is so overwhelmingly popular ...... in the ravelry forums i read regularly............... #that im convinced that making these is just extruding Generic Knit Product Of No Interest #which. firstly. i actually do reserve my right to care if i am making extruded knit product but don't think it's a general virtue. #secondly i have to be in a total bonkers echo chamber for this right. no one outside these forums is like ''boo knits is so everpresent tha #anyone making them is displaying 'awareness of popular things' and not 'ability to make a specific and deliberate choice''' #not even anyone IN these forums thinks this really. only i could imagine a person thinking this #more to the point. is it cringe if i not only start a new shawl but i do it in a gradient-dyed yarn. #i just think it would look nice. but i think that shows a fundamental lack of discernment by me #box opener
