Post number 69420 about the bi to aspec pipeline but it's like saying you don't have a preference for either coke or pepsi and later learning that just you don't really like soda

#aro #aromantic #arospec #ace #asexual #acespec #i do like soda on occasion. but not coke or pepsi i'm more of a dr pepper guy (superior) #now that i think about it i do seem like the type of person who doesn't really like coke or pepsi and prefers dr pepper #idk man i feel like every time i drink coke a building explodes #not just cause it's kind of bad for you but yknow. big corporation bad.

Contrary to popular assumption, being evil doesn't necessarily make a person hot. Choosing to do the right thing even when it's the harder option and you're so tempted to do the wrong (and easy) thing, on the other hand.....

#you know how anne shirley (in her youth) says she doesn't like WICKED boys she likes boys who COULD be wicked but choose not to #this is kind of adjacent to that #hot evil characters SEEM hot because they demonstrate 1) relentless drive 2) dedication/devotion to their cause 3) some sort of passionate #feeling towards a certain goal or person 4) a level of unhinged abnormal to your average #person when that cause is threatened 5) they have good fashion taste. most of the time #but THINK about those things separate from evil and how they translate to a person who is bent on doing GOOD! #and you get killian jones #also. not to be that person. but also. that's hot #songbird watches ouat

Thinking of...

A Secret Relationship with Lucifer!

Lucifer and you didn't mean for it to be a secret! Honest! It just is easier this way sometimes

Lucifer and you just kinda fell in love slowly till one day you two just kissed, and things kinda happened

So now you love each other in private, which is what would happen anyways

Lucifer, who invites you into his office after you have done something to warrant "getting in trouble" for a lecture, buts it's really to hang out

Lucifer, who you help diligently with the Sisyphean task that is his paperwork in hopes that he can get a day off, or at least go to bed on time

Lucifer, who you unwillingly say goodnight to because if you stayed the night in there his brothers would start to notice

Lucifer, who loves to kiss you quickly when no one is looking and walks away like nothing happened and leaves you breathless

Lucifer, who allows you to take pictures of him but if they get leaked he will not be happy. Those pictures better be underneath lock and key

Lucifer, who slowly wishes he could hold your waist and keep you close to his side when he watches a demon flirt with you in the halls

Lucifer, who wonders if the convenience of keeping this secret outweighs the want of showing you off

Lucifer, who then thinks about how willingly you allowed your relationship be kept locked away in his office, shunned in the shadows, because it makes him happy

Lucifer, whose noticed how you wish to kiss him, hold his hand, slot your body next to his sometimes, but you restrain yourself

Lucifer, who finally tells you that he's tired of not being able to show you off like you deserve. Your not a dirty secret, your his lover, and he takes pride in you as much as himself

Lucifer, who at the next big public event Diavolo insisted on having, decided to have the two of you match

Lucifer, who dances the first dance with you, despite all of his brothers protests

Lucifer, who at the end, pulls you into a dip and kisses you, infront of everyone, because they need to know your his, and he is yours

#*gripping the sink* you're normal you're normal you're normal you're normal #he just seems like a secret relationship kinda guy #not cause he doesn't love you its just easier not to deal with all the people #then he has Regrets over the little things #may expand into a full fic later oughhhhhhhughhh #obey me x reader #obswd x reader #lucifer x reader #obey me x you #obswd x you #bunny's.game.collection

saw a youtube comment talking about how Peter’s powers are more than mere superspeed---how he can essentially manipulate gravity and inertia and that’s why when he throws people out of the mansion they don’t die, and why he can listen to music super fast. Everything within his bubble operates under his power’s rules, basically, and that’s also why he can make it so that he can stand still (not running) while everyone else moves in slow motion. And then someone responded by saying that that would make a ton of sense because of who his father is since gravity manipulation is a lot closer to electromagnetic field manipulation than superspeed is, and I’d never thought of it that way but MY HEART

#he got that power from his dad I--- #i mean obviously because mutation is genetic BUT his powers seem to have so little overlap with erik's. and yet here this is! #so his powers aren't totally separate from his dad's :*) #this is so sweet #ugh i love when they have little things like this in common #like yes they've been separated for years and years and erik doesn't even know peter's his son but LOOK there's little hints of #them being related in the smallest details #OOH what if peter realizes that he's got gravity manipulation in addition to just superspeed and he freaks out and tries to not use it in #training but it causes him to get injured because he isn't using his full power set and everyone's like 'why are you not using this if you #have it??' and he doesn't know how to explain that he doesn't want erik to somehow pick up on the similarities between their types of #force manipulation even though it's not all that noticeable #he just gets paranoid that erik will find out somehow but he keeps getting injured and eventually charles/raven are like "PLEASE talk to him #peter maximoff #quicksilver #xmen #erik lehnsherr #magneto #dadneto #dadneto and quickson #quickson #superspeed #powers

Lucerys once called Aegon his favorite uncle and all hell broke loose. The silence that immediately followed was suffocating. No one is allowed to mention that family dinner, ever.

#aegon reminds aemond everyday that he's lucerys favorite #aemond pushes aegon into the bushes a few times #during the dinner aegon was having the time of his life #aemond wants to yell #he wants to throw something or someone or aegon #jacerys just wants to eat his dinner #lucerys loves causing chaos #deamon loves lucerys creating chaos but doesn't like whatever seems to be happening between aemond and lucerys #rhaenyra and allicent are just looking at their children and each other confused #house of the dragon #lucerys velaryon #aemond targaryen #aegon ii targaryen #aemond x lucerys #lucemond

given that seems to be the new popular take in the fandom at large since totk got out: let the record show that I'll gladly let myself get repeatedly manipulated by the wind waker speech and be foolishly moved by its implications over rejecting space for humanity and vulnerability in the monstrous and the dispossessed, and then feeling weirdly smug about severing that fleeting attempt at connection and deem it obviously insincere

#tloz #wind waker #ww #ganondorf #zelda fandom critical #it's just not even nice for the writers? #like they obviously tried something here #it's thematically resonant with the rest of the text #you don't have to connect with it personally of course #the complexity of a genuine cause being taken over by self importance and cruelty and what is owed to whom in the bloody aftermath #but to reject that it tried to touch upon something ambiguous and complicated is a shame in my opinion #voluntarily depriving yourself of depth sure is a move I don't understand #(the youtuboys of the world are just *so smug* about this and I find it... kinda tragic modern nintendo seems to agree with them) #(not to mention... seeing a guy coded as foreign going “hey I was sick of having nothing and wanted more for myself” and going) #(“!!!! that's manipulative and illegitimate and deserves no sympathy whatsoever” is a questionnable gut reflex to cultivate in my opinion) #(yearning for a privilege ganon could only ever access through submission can *absolutely* coexist with tyranny and selfishness) #(and isn't that layered and complicated and unfair to everybody involved?) #(doesn't that make for MUCH richer conflict than “he lied because he was greedy for power”?)

It's so weird and funny to me when antis will be like "coping with taboo fiction is fine, but don't you understand you can't post it because people might get off to this!?!?"

Like what a stranger masturbates to is any of my business at all.

#I think the reason anti rhetoric just doesn't work on me at all is because I'm just too addicted to minding my own business at this point #if it's not causing real harm (and discomfort is not harm) then I genuinely could not give less fucks about what a stranger gets off to #to any anti reading this #I promise your life will improve *exponentially* if you just start minding your own business #'cause unironically y'all seem miserable af 90% of the time #and the only times you *don't* seem miserable as hell it's because you're literally celebrating the murder/suicide of a real human being #because of fiction that makes you uncomfortable #think about that for like 20 seconds #just anti things #anti bs #proship #anti anti #profic #pro fiction #proshipper safe

#skorupi #now THIS is a fucking guy!! skorupi's in like. my top 50 pokémon of all time definitely. i know that doesn't seem like much but i like too #many pokémon to say anything more definitive than that. but i do love skorupi. bug/poison is a fun type 'cause it handles its own weaknesse #bug handles poison's weakness to psychic. and i think that's the only one but y'know that's cool #not to mention they're JUST a little guy and you're realizing this and consuming this information #yes??? good

I could be way off base, but I have been thinking about this since she said this and trying to figure out what moral? At the time, the best they could figure would be to follow Alyx’s path, but not make the mistakes she made. We now know not only was the story changed from what Jaune was there for, but Alyx wasn’t like the girl who’s in the story.

If there is some “moral” to be learned here, I did wonder if it was to respect and understand different people. Because that’s something up until this current chapter NONE of our main cast have done. RW.BY have been operating out of a story with people as a means to an end. They aren’t really people in their own right, just a way to progress forward. They never really ask anything about the Afterans, outside of asking Curious about ascension, and it’s not like they are a reliable source of information since they seem to have the ability to influence Afteran’s will and only will answer what is asked.

Jaune mentioned that Alyx was cruel and didn’t think the rules applied to her, and while they’ve not been cruel about it we’ve not seen anyone from Remnant treat the Afterans like actual people until (R)WBY listens to the Paper Pleasers. @professorspork spoke about Blake caring about the Paper Pleasers and speaking up for them, and it’s really the first time any of them think about the lives of the people there and not just getting home… Not that Jaune or Ruby agree that they are people.

Just because it’s a fairy-tale to them doesn’t mean it’s not real to the people there. It doesn’t mean they don’t have full lives, even if the visitors of Remnant don’t understand or agree with their culture. Ever After has shown Blake specifically that her culture is very important to her, and if there is some moral to be gained by Blake in this “story” is that understanding different cultures only enhances everyone and leads to greater cooperation. Almost like that’s a goal of hers...

#ccyy talks #I also have thoughts about the rules in ever after #and that it is kinda like therapy island like we all joked about #but like all intervention they only really work if you put in the work #the bees got what they wanted not because ever after really forced it on them but that they wanted it #cause jaune refused to look at himself or penny weiss did nothing while watching the fall of her home and ruby didn't even see summer #after ever doesn't seem to put things in front of you unless on some level you do want it addressed #doesn't mean you're ready or capable to confront it #I'm not even sure I made my point really clear I am just avoiding my internship and school work oops #blake

I'm frightened of you knowing who I am but, could you possibly give me your frank frankly theories pretty please idc if you only have like 2.1 I want them regardless of how many you have.

mayhaps?

ah man i wish i had some to give! i think all of my Frank theories (at present) are tied into other theory posts! he simply doesn't have a lot to chew on yet

#unlike say - wally or eddie - he doesn't have a lot of incriminating information #there's a bunch of little puzzle pieces: #the multiple hims in their house on the map / not having a backstory in his bio / im sure theres more but i cant recall it rn #but the little things we have so far are - imo - so disconnected thats it like. man idk what to do with these yet #i can very lightly speculate that he'll probably play a big role in 'looking behind the curtain' as it were #just since he's the serious Knowledge Guy #and i can imagine that out of everyone he's most likely to pursue the truth if he starts to Notice that things arent what they seem #i also imagine that that miiiiight clash with wally? #cause if frank goes 'holy shit none of this is real' its also likely that he might try to tear down the illusion / something similar #meanwhile wally seems deadset on Restoring the neighborhood and keeping things the same #could be conflict there! wait does that count as a theory? i may have lied to you #sorry my thought process works best when rambling - constant stream of thought can knock new things loose up there yk yk #rambles from the bog #homebogging #wh speculation #and dont even worry about it - i dont even know who i am! i know no one and nothing and everything is a nebulous void!

[donut-entendre]

I say a lot that Wash isn't empathetic when talking about people giving him Carolina's personality, but I don't think that really explains my thinking. Empathy is too vague of a concept in discussion of character.

Wash cares a lot about people. Wash cares so much it hurts. He trains the Chorusans without being asked, on his own initiative. He doesn't leave the reds and blues at the first sign of trouble. He's traumatized by violence by his own hand that he still agrees with the logic of, he remembers what he's done to people and while he doesn't regret it, it still haunts him. He doesn't want to care so bad but he does, he cares so much that violence against relative strangers hurts. Even if it was his best choice. Even if it was his only choice.

Carolina doesn't want people to know violence like she does. Carolina wants to tackle the whole world to keep it away from the ones she loves. Carolina wants to be the one to handle everything, to keep war off the doorstep.

Washington knows violence, and well. He thinks it is something that sometimes is the best option. He knows how to make the people he loves capable of protecting themselves. So he does.

Carolina is someone who wants to protect. Washington is someone who wants to teach people to protect themselves. Carolina wants to be the one to offer shelter in the rain. Washington wants to burn the fire so hot and so bright the rain evaporates before it can ever touch them, so hot it never even comes down, so bright no one could ever get lost. And he wants to teach everyone he cares for just how to do it, too.

Just in case it ever rains.

#it may seem like i went off topic immediately. but trust me. it's a hard concept to communicate. #logical 'empathy' where you care but you don't understand. you don't share it. it's hard to articulate. #it feels stupid. why do people care so much about this temporary problem? it's so obvious to you how trivial it is. #but they still care. even if you can't understand. and you care about them. so you show them how to approach it. #maybe your answer is callous. maybe it doesn't quite grasp the complexity of the situation #but it's what you know. it's what you can offer. maybe it's just inevitable that you will cause pain no matter what you do. #very autistic of him! #rvb #rvb washington #rvb carolina #nonsense thoughts

SAG-AFTRA is officially set to join the WGA in going on strike. No filming, premiere attendence or other promotion of any kind allowed.

I hope to see nothing but support for this decision.

#SAG-AFTRA #WGA #a shame the DGA isn't joining as well #not like their directors are gonna have a lot of work set out for them for the time being #this will have an interesting effect on the media landscape i'm sure #no more barbie premiere dresses #SDCC this year is gonna return to its more humble “nerds unite” roots at this point #i hope the wealthier writers and actors will support those that rely on the paychecks during the (continued) strike #actually i want a-list actors to step up in general #like why do like 5 people get paid a billion dollars for a few weeks of work per year #while their fellow working actors barely manage to book enough jobs to make their health insurance #IATSE should vote to strike again as well now that i think of it #they spend more time than anyone on set and get the least pay #doesn't seem fair #anyway #hopefully this will cause some positive changes in the industry #i don't want to see any complaints about the continued strikes affecting psych 4 #i'll block your ass if you do

i always see so much of Nico ships where either Nico is the one pining or the focus is almost completely on Nico pining and i feel like we’re missing a lot of opportunity here. Where’s the inverse? Where’s the POVs from [other character(s) of ship] of them falling hard for Nico and just absolutely losing their mind pining over him because he’s so impossible to read that they can’t tell at all if he likes them back or not. Them doing some complicated social dance cause they cannot for the LIFE of them figure out Nico but they’re trying so hard until they finally just tell him outright and find out Nico has liked them back this entire time and they lose their mind just a little bit more. WHERE IS IT.

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #shipping #examples: one of my favorite headcanons is that Will got a crush on Nico the first time he saw him during the Titan War #when he brought reinforcements n stuff. cause yknow. the dude showed up in thematic armor with three gods and parted an army #and then ensues like a whole year of poor Will helplessly pining over him but a.) Nico is never around and b.) Nico is barely aware of him #ergo why Will is acting Like That in BoO cause he's BEEN TRYING SO HARD TO GET NICO TO NOTICE HIM #on-and-off for a WHOLE YEAR #and he is DETERMINED to at least be Nico's friend by the end of the summer #just so that he can stop losing his mind over it #secondary example: i write a lot of pre-HoO Jason stuff and i really love the potential dynamics between him and Nico then #with Nico being this rogue who randomly shows up #and Jason keeps getting flustered by this guy who doesn't seem to care who he is at all. which is part of the reason for getting flustered #cause Nico keeps treating him as an equal! which is kind of a big deal for Jason #and at the same time they're doing this diplomatic dance and the two of them are just being SO overly formal #because they're both like that. so it just sounds like theyre flirting like Victorians #and poor Jason is so distressed post-HoO when he realizes he'd forgotten all of that. and now he has to START OVER #and Nico is NICO so of course it's impossible for Jason to gauge exactly where they stand #etc etc those are my two most detailed examples
