#despite being hugely fucking over

[marc--chilton]

(mgv) ouughhh those scenes when cuddy and wilson are arguing over something house has done but they're both alphas so sometimes they get a bit heated.... one time wilson almost got in trouble for growling at cuddy because she threatened to let house try to get out of the trouble with the board of directors or whatever by himself without her protection (which could mean he finally loses his license). they already had been circling each other in her office and she was just barely holding back from baring her teeth

#house md #hilson #call me basic or whatever but i'm not huge on huddy or hudson BUT i do see the potential #even so imo for all their boring straight people flirting cuddy works best when they're uninvolved but she's still in charge #yknow??? like being house's boss and kind of his friend..... who needs sex when you're fucking each other over at work #meanwhile despite being coworkers house and wilson are (un)fortunately ride or die so #things can get a little........ testy if one of them is confronted on matters regarding the other #im rambling. but most of you are here for that so yap i must

Terrible news I think my cnc pwp fic about husk giving alastor drugs to fuck him is turning into a commentary on the infantilization of asexuals damn it my projection issues

#despite not finishing chap 1 i already got like a little 3 chapters arc planned in my head #part 1 is husk getting al drunk and then emotional intimacy #part 2 is roofies and al calming down long enough to enjoy it despite blacking out halfway through + husk realizing he has a huge somno kink #and part 3 is al trying to roofie himself by taking 5 pills only for husk not to be there catch him. resulting in angel finding out #al then immediately overdoses and casually dies in angel's bathroom. angel then freaks the fuck out on husk for being a creep and hypocrite #and then al gets pissed because neither of them will acknowledge his role in the relationship #they keep talking over him acting like cuz husk has more experience with sex that it must mean al's an innocent victim #and not like an adult man who could've easily not drugged himself to death #al also does not trust the idea that angel didn't do anything to him while he was out #anyway #fic wip

hey. what the fuck is up with Ratchet and Clank merch

#ratchet and clank #I was like ‘I have literally three pieces of merch of R&C despite it being my special interest since elementary school I should fix that’ #*goes online* the fucking horrors #what do you MEAN everything is at least $100 dollars or more??? excuse me??? #the employee exclusive one is almost always over a thousand dollars. y’all see the one priced like a small car right. #the fucking PLUSHIES ARE A HUNDRED DOLLARS??? #why. #the TINY FUCKING PIN IS $90???? #btw the three pieces I have are the Funko Pops (I am not a huge Funko Pop person but I saw them release and pre-ordered them for my b-day) #and then the Ratchet and Clank art book. that is all #I have all of the games but like. that’s not /merch/ per se it’s the actual series content #actually I take it back I no longer have all the games bc I’m missing the very first game in physical copy + the PSP games + the PS4-5 ones #and I am the most fucking rabid Ratchet and Clank fan. I am autism insane about it. and I don’t have ANYTHING #do you see how much of a tragedy this is. do you understand how damaging this is to me every single day #that I do not have a Clank plushie to hold. a Ratchet plushie to keep him company. and an Alister Azimuth action figure to abuse. #my goal is to make that video essay I’ve had in my brain for years and make Insomniac feel so seen that they gift me something. #bc of the heartfelt please of a disabled poor person that has loved their series so much all their life #I’m going to punch through a steel wall

trying to figure out if warcraft's human nobility rules would be more progressive and modernized since they're clearly pushing the lore more that way a la "lord admiral jaina" but then also remembering that calia was shafted for the crown despite being firstborn.

#im not like bashing making your own nobility rules or the lord admiral thing dont get me wrong #other than the fact that it's a stupid title to begin with daelin was a king and jaina's now queen. or king i guess. #but whatever okay fun lore #BUT #like. what are the fucking rules here. #jaina is lord admiral despite tandred should get hierarchial priority with it like arthas did over calia #was that addressed? did tandred refuse it? #or are we just like fuck it! #and if THAT'S the case #then would a man inherit his wife's title in marriage #(bc if you dont know a woman raises to her husband's status but a man doesn't get raised to his wife's status) #it was one of the reasons women were mildly like commodity yes but women got HUGE benefits from marrying up. #but warcraft is progressive. we dont have men and women. we have type ones and twos. #do we... have across the board 'no status gain in marriage' or title equalization? #or is it still women's status being mostly tied to their father and husband's? #whats the rules! #calia's whole story is invalidated essentially with all this nonsense! #anyway. #paska

"Percy villain arc", does Aglovale mean nothing to you people

You're right though, it would be funny to see Percy go truly evil. The fire association is super common in villains. Making it hot in several senses. You're completely valid

LIKE I SAID -- it's about a different type of villainy!! the brothers may look alike but they're not interchangeable!!!!

Aglovale's villainy came from an hatred of all of humanity, a desire to control people out of fear, and a desire to get his family back, including his mother.

Lamorak's villainy came from selflessness, a desire to help absolutely everyone who ever experienced massive heart pain that can only be solved by revenge, a savior complex so big he ends up helping the most dangerous of people, while putting himself in danger and therefore also keeping his family as far away as possible from him so he doesn't get swayed into going back on his words.

A Percival's villainy arc would never be like Aglovale's because Percival never let go of his desire to see good in people, and he wouldn't keep his family away like Lamorak.

Like i said i do think it's a bit hard to see a path to villainy Percival can take when his brothers went to both different extreme to start with. I think what makes Percival's arc strong is that he's not tempted by snapping, and that he is holding strong despite the fact he sees how his brothers are torn apart by the same trauma they all share.

I personally love the fact Percival doesn't seem to be in any situation to snap, but i like thinking about what if he did actually go apeshit. What if he got tired of fixing his brothers' shit. He's constantly having to clean up after them because they mishandled their trauma while he is trying so hard to make it something productive.

And it's not like Percival doesn't have a mean edge. Remember when he insulted Lancelot when they found him in a cell after he's been tortured, because Lancelot "only had himself to blame" for turning a blind eye to the wrongs of the King? and that it essentially came from how he's been hurt that Lancelot abandonned him during the Siegfried's debacle and the fact Lancelot blindly supporting people in position of power rather than getting to the bottom of something was something Percival found reprehensible. (i have many thoughts about this).

That's why i think two componants to break Percival is if the weight of his brothers' sins get lifted off his back, so he's less alert to his own shortcomings as he's no longer in this state of survival about holding his family together, and losing MC, which would set him in a situation of thinking "despite everything i do i still lose the people i care about." (especially, once again, because MC is the only person who never disappointed Percival, which is why Percival always was so unconditional in his way to be attached to MC, in ways even the Dragon Knights nor his Brothers can live up to.)

It's like "you can do everything right and still lose", in comparaison to his brothers who just did things wrong.

how do you deal? how do you cope? this grief was supposed to stay in the past, yet whatever you do it still comes back to catch up on you.

there's a potential there that is completely unlike what Aglovale and Lamorak went through in their own villain arcs, and it's what i'd personally explore if we give Percival an evil arc.

It'd be hot! especially if it's about MC which i have totally neutral reasons to want personally obviously.

But as it is i just really like the idea of him being the only one to keep things together while the familial trauma is destroying the rest of his family. Feels nice feels organic and i'm just genuinely invested in this storyline, is all!

#between you and me though there's also sort of the fact i relate to Percival's position in his family #as the youngest of three and the fact my siblings are a hot mess in term of the family's bagages and trauma we have #trying desperately to hold on together and take all of the responsibilities when your older siblings fall apart #while being in a position where you should be vulnerable// where your siblings see you as vulnerable and yet add more pain to your load #and this idea of how wanting so bad not to fuck up like your older siblings did #is already something that is its own weight on to itself #but one that can easily crush you down and make you wonder why even bother when in the end it's for nothing #and this is the feeling i'm canalizing for Percival's evil arc that i can't have just from his siblings arc #and like ofc this is not exactly what Percival goes through in the sense that he didn't expect having to clean up after them like that #but it's one that ends up resonating a lot once the stories are over and you see how much he has to deal with all of this #also don't mind me i'm being Super Normal about the Wales brothers #just one day a friend pointed out that there were similarities between my siblings and theirs and suddenly my world came crashing down #and i realized just why BFAF left such a huge impact on me despite predating the Very Well Written granblue events. #.... i'm very normal about Percival granblue and that's why i never talk about him #ichareply #ichafantalks gbf #anonymous #ichablogging 4kishi

i had what might’ve been a neurological event over a month ago (that i wrote off as psychosomatic until my therapist told me to talk to my doctor) and my pcp referred me for an mri to find out for sure. all well and good (albeit nerve-wracking), especially since i’m lucky enough to have the money for it right now. i’m scheduled to get it in about a week.

i had an regularly scheduled appointment with my psychiatrist a few days later and told her what had happened and also that i have a lot of anxiety about it but otherwise feel fine. she freaked out and told me to reduce my antidepressants immediately because she thinks it might be serotonin syndrome. even though 1) i looked up the symptoms of serotonin syndrome and literally none of the symptoms match, 2) it makes absolutely no fucking sense because i’ve been taking the same meds for over a year and never had this happen until now (and the other two similar events in the past happened BEFORE i started taking new meds) and 3) she didn’t even bother saying i could have adverse effects or ask how i’d like to proceed. i mentioned that i know i’ll have withdrawal and if it’s necessary she just ignored me and told me to do it

that was thursday and the ssri withdrawal is starting to hit real bad and i’m bitter because i don’t think she gives a fuck that she’s causing me suffering and she just wanted to feel like she was doing something and now i’m dizzy and nauseous and feel Wrong™️ and it could’ve been completely fucking avoided, i felt perfectly fine other than anxiety (which lowering meds will not help). this is not the first time she has made a med change without giving a shit about my input. (yes, i could disobey her, but that creates other problems.)

basically i wish psychiatrists who actually give a shit weren’t almost impossible to find so i don’t have to settle for one who doesn’t treat me like an addict when prescribing adhd meds

#rant over #my posts #brain blogging #the addict thing is from experience btw. the psychiatrist i had before this one was a huge fucking bitch. #she said she wanted to urine test me before she’d refill my prescription #(despite being on adhd meds since age 10) #and then wouldn’t tell me where to go #and only looked at her emails a few times a week #AND THEN #she literally smiled when i started crying when she said she was taking away by benzos #and let me panic and say they’d improved my quality of life #just looked super fucking smug as if my reaction proved she was right and that i was an addict #before saying she was going to prescribe an alternative prn #and then looked CONFUSED when i immediately calmed down #because i didn’t WANT to take benzos because of their abuse potential #she was also overall super condescending #(the one before her also sucked but not as egregiously) #so basically i know i can do worse but fuck i wish i could do better #i guess the rant was not over lol

monprom fandom be fucking normal about miranda for once challenge

#all the care guide says is 'biomass' #im just. irate. #i swear to god the fandom being revived has brought back all of its worst problems #and i just. i really fucking love miranda as a character you know?? #ive been here for years obsessing over her. its an act of love. #but its like #i cant go anywhere in this fandom #without people giving miranda the ''spoiled brat'' treatment and acting as though shes some stupid child #who cant make decisions for herself #and its even worse because ive witnessed that line of thought #leak from fandom to canon and its why i absolutely hate things like the bellanda ending #despite having so much written on bellanda and miranda in my own personal work #(you have to remember that i had my fanlore for bellanda figured out before the canon ending dropped) #but its legitimately just so frustrating #throughout the years ive dealt with a huge problem in that #i have to be very careful where and who i talk about miranda with #otherwise people will see me. TALKING ABOUT MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. #and start discussing how much they want to do violence to her. #and its legitimately one of the reasons i want out of this fandom #its weird its bizarre its UNCOMFORTABLE AS HELL #and im just very very tired of this shit over and over

POP spoilers (?)

I think it’s just a lil bit funny looking back on Epithet Alternate (the goofy little EE roleplay group I did with some friends back in early 2020) cuz we accidentally predicted a couple of things that happened in EE/some future arcs for EE

Our first event was literally a jail break with Indus, Mera, and Ramsey (who didn’t even wanna come with). I don’t think any of us even knew there was gonna be an Actual prison break arc back then— we were still in the Really Early era of EE’s fandom. I think the only difference was that Giovanni was also there bc he accidentally revealed who he was online BANDNSNDNNF

ALSO ACCIDENTALLY PREDICTED GIO TAKING MOLLY AWAY FROM HER UNSTABLE HOME LIFE. THAT’S A BIGGER ONE. Only difference is that instead of hiding out at Crusher’s place, Ramsey helped him get his hands on an apartment. STILL THO. CRAZY AND INSANE.

Maybe it’s just the ability to recognize what would logically make sense as a next step for these characters? Idk! I think it’s a little funny in retrospect

#it took 4 years but I’m finally able to look back on EA fondly #after avoiding it like the plague for god knows how long #who knew that stupid system discourse being stirred up over a message from MONTHS AGO #that turned into a huge falling out in a discord server I modded in #along with a grown ass adult in their 20s guilt tripping 16 year old Mugsy #over a fucking fangan rp cuz they didn’t want their character to die #even tho they knew it was one of the things that comes w/ a fangan rp #AND ALSO IT WAS FOR A TRIAL THAT WAS WAY INTO THE FUTURE AND ALSO RLLY IMPORTANT #would ruin my ability to look at that period of my life in a positive way? #this is sarcasm btw I know this was all traumatizing and 2020 was a fucked up year for me #I think it’s funny to look back on it and laugh now tho #I’m 20 now I cannot FATHOM ever guilt tripping a 16 year old over a fangan rp #and honestly despite the Horrors that period of my life was fun while it lasted #I wish I didn’t delete my old blogs and I wish the old server was still up #I’d like to read back on the bullshit shenanigans we got up to #oops I’m rambling in my own tags #ah well who cares it’s my post and my tags I can do what I want

I'm kinda fucking furious with my mom

Her stupid slob lazy ass has lost my fucking ballot

I fucking brought it in with the mail, but it was such a fucking busy week with so much shit on my plate (think the fridge may have been dead still at that point, can't remember) but I go to check the mail and it's like ah yeah, there they are

Only just remembered cause had so much stuff going on and... she's just been making a pile of trash in the kitchen instead of going through the mail, and she's going "oh I never saw them"

Fuck you, my fucking mistake for trusting you with anything. I should have known you're such an asshole you can't even open your own mail

Like I'm actually fuming right now

#when I say I literally have to do everything myself I fucking mean it cause this is what happens when I don't #but you see; she's so fucking busy writing for anthologies again despite 'learning her lesson' not to overload her plate #learning that lesson over and over and over and then ignoring it; like saying aloud how she's learned it #she never fucking helps; she has zero fucking attention to detail #like... I'm scatterbrained; I can forgive it but... she literally only fucking makes problems for me #she's quite literally a fucking child; like I can straight up tell you that she's emotionally stunted to about 14 #and so she acts like a fucking child most of the time and like... I'm fucking sick of it #now I'll need to scour the house and track down the ballots just to be able to fucking vote #like... I just... I just fucking... brought the mail in; but like fuck me I guess for being so tired I trusted her with the ballots #I guess I need to fucking... separate out all important mail and not let her touch it #and like it is just a huge trash pile of old mail; and I have so so so fucking much trouble going through that shit #especially cause it's not fucking mine! #but I guess I know how I gotta try and spend tomorrow #just... get the fuck out of my house; I'm so sick of you lady #fucking 5 minutes of cleaning even once a month... it would be fucking something #I'm... I'm doing real bad these days; and she just keeps piling more shit on my plate all the god damn time #...I'm tired... I'm tired of not even being able to bring in mail apparently

honestly no wonder harrow forced ianthe to lobotomize her so she could save gideon. listen…LISTEN…if i was a secret-war-crime cult nunlet princess worshipped by my entire planet and the only person that (barely) kept me in check was my childhood nemesis—a butch a year older than me, towering over me in stature and physical prowess, and so hot it made my teeth hurt from how hard my jaw clenched in her presence, who wielded a two-handed seven-foot sword and had irritatingly huge biceps and told very lewd stupid jokes and also learned how to wield an entirely new weapon and be my bodyguard with startling accuracy in three months—only to have us finally learn to trust each other because we got invited to a magic murder mystery and then before the bubble burst i spilled the worst secret about myself that i was born because my parents murdered an entire generation and tried to Kill Her along with them and she just wouldnt die, and i told her this expecting a swift death i believed i deserved, only for her to fucking cradle me in her big butch arms and kiss me on my forehead with her soft butch mouth and just. forgive me for a shameful weight ive carried my entire life and then MAKE AN ACTUAL NECRO/CAV VOW with me despite every evil thing i have done to her……to have her tell me, in the end, bleeding and broken after putting up the most beautiful and glorious fight of her life, that she understands purpose and she understands duty and she knows loyalty more fiercely than ever now, that she knows who she is to me, that there is no her without me….to have her backed into a corner and make the ultimate sacrifice…..for me…..to recite scriptural wedding vows of eternity to me in her last wisps of soul-consciousness…..if i thought there was even a snowflake’s chance in the pyre that i could save her by turning myself into her very own locked tomb, i’d be begging ianthe tridentweirdius to crack my skull open and turn me to mush too, goddamn. i understand you harrowhark girl you don’t have to explain a thing to me. god said you couldn’t undo the lyctor’s bond bc it’d kill you. you told god and his angels that not even a lyctor’s bond could outshine the power of female spite and lesbianism and they didn’t listen. they didn’t believe you. but i heard you loud and clear and i was 17 and hormonal and hopelessly romantic not too long ago unlike those fucking dinosaurs and i’m saying it’s valid it’s what i would have done and really everyone should be thanking you for not being worse and more wretched about it, all things considered

#i think about gideon nav every day #she makes me want to eat drywall #shes so jesus shes so her own thing shes so god and savior It Is Finished divinity of love and sacrifice #honestly so much of harrow is so so relatable to me shes so real for everything she does #her little griddlehark meetcute au her little divine highness au #ive already waxed poetic about the harrow nova au #sorry to keep waxing poetic about this but i really am rotted about them #like im going insane. tamsyn muir when i get you tamsyn when i catch you #griddlehark #tlt spoilers #harrowhark nonagesimus #i am you as you are me we are one and two and two and one #i cannot conceive of a universe without you. #should i forget you let my right hand also be forgotten; add more also. if aught but death part me and thee. #I FELL INTO THE WATER AND NOW IM FREE

So the tire-eating potholes in my neighborhood finally killed both my rear tires and I had to get that dealt with, but while they were getting replaced, I put the dogs in puppy daycare and upon picking them up early, the attendant literally sprinted to the front desk, grabbed me by the shoulders and breathlessly exclaimed "YOUNEEDTOCOMESEEWHATYOURDOGSAREDOING"

While she escorted me back to the play yards, she explained that every time they have more than three Corgi, they have to put all the Corgs in a separate play yard because they turn into a little gang and bully the Very Large dogs by playing Cow Herding Simulator 5000 with them, and especially if Herschel is there, because corgis are bossy-pants dogs, and Herschel has the bossiest pants of them all and acts as leader.

Despite being a little Don Corgleone to the short bitch mafia, Hershcel is also a Huge Baby and will apparently cry and cry and try to climb the fence and cry and eat people's shoelaces and cry if he is separated from Charlie during playtime, so this means any time that "Corgi Party" is happening, Charlie also has to go to Corgi party, despite being full-height, running cat software and a senior citizen. he copes with being Gulliver amongst the Liliputians by climbing onto the roof of the playskool castle they have for a climbing structure in the yard, kicking the ladder down behind him, and stretching out to nap in the sun while the corgi frolic and gambol around him.

Corgi are dogs that make up and play games with secret rules, like kindergartners. "Everyone bark in sync" is a popular game, as is "follow the leader" and it's companion game "March in a circle around a tall structure like ants caught in a death loop".

So what I was greeted with, when the attendant and I snuck out to the play yard, was the sight of Charlie, sound asleep and flat on his back with his paws crossed over his chest because sighthounds sleep in the stupidest fucking positions, on top of a faux-medieval castle with gargoyles on the corners, surrounded by approximately seven Corgi, all trotting in a circle around him, barking in sync.

"They look like they're preforming some kind of ritual!" giggled the attendant as attempted to get my phone to focus.

"Yeah, they're gonna summon Corgtulhu." I said.

Unfortunately, this made the attendant literally fall on her ass laughing, and distracted Herschel and his compatriots, so they didn't get to complete the summons, and I didn't get the pic.

The attendant kept laughing because apparently she's new to puns, and had mostly gotten it under control by the time we got everyone's leashes on and back out to the front.

The manager was watching the front desk, bemused. Did you get to see them doing the ritual?"

"YEAH!" shrieks the attendant, still excitable with merriment. "THEY'RE- THEY WERE-" The attendant ends up giggling on the floor.

"You okay there Katie?" asked the manager with minimal concern.

"We think they were trying to summon Corgthulhu." I eplain, and Katie screams from the floor. "Wasn't gonna work though, you need a virgin sacrifice and Charlie had an STD when we got him."

It was the manager's turn to shriek. and for Charlie and Herschel to start barking in solidarity.

"That's right Charlie! Your sluttiness saved the world!" I told him, as he jumped up and kicked me in the face.

Anyway, that's why Charlie's nickname at daycare is now "Superman(whore)"

i hope that in the wake of predstrogen/predesterone's back-to-back deletion we don't forget about the ongoing building wave of seemingly organic transmisogyny from the userbase leading up to it, some of which may or may not have been the result of terf psyops but all of which certainly wouldn't have been possible without the eager participation of a significant proportion of users, including but probably not limited to:

the entire concept of transandrophobia (if this offends you, think long and hard about why you want so badly for it to be real)

the ongoing backlash against the terms tme and tma (if they offend you, think long and hard about why they might have practical value to trans women and people with similar social positionality)

the ongoing trend of trans women's blogs getting flagged on the flimsiest of pretenses and generally receiving far more scrutiny for "adult content" than anyone else's

the seeming unironic revival of "baeddel" as a slur for outspoken trans women, on the basis of a long-dead clique that, ironically enough, self-applied the long-dead (and tbf, etymologically questionable) slur from the middle ages to reclaim it

the entire "trans women should be fucking trans men instead of complaining about transmisogyny" genre of post

the backlash when tgirls finally started calling out the aforementioned bullshit

the copypasted anons sent to several trans women (many of whom were lesbians) sexually harassing them and threatening corrective rape for calling out the aforementioned bullshit

the backlash when tgirls called the aforementioned bullshit sexual harassment

the expansion of flexible queer label use (which to be clear, i am generally all for) to include "afab trans women", muddying the waters and making transmisogyny harder to articulate

the backlash when tgirls started calling out the aforementioned bullshit

the aita incident in which a trans woman described a cis woman claiming to be a trans woman in a group chat and giving other trans women terrible medical advice based on no actual qualifications or experience, and got a huge backlash for warning them about the aforementioned bullshit despite the stakes of, you know, following terrible medical advice

everything from the sixth point onward happened within the past... week? two weeks? my sense of time is a bit fuzzy. who knows what the rest of this week has in store?

people on this website are so incredibly hostile to trans women even being able to name our own oppression, let alone resist it in any concrete way. and i know it's not just this website. don't you get tired of the crab bucket bullshit? holy fucking shit.

like, i've been lucky, i've overwhelmingly managed to dodge it (probably on account of frankly being a pretty boring and inconsistent poster). this time last year, i was actually bored that i didn't have anons in my inbox to argue with. but i've seen it happen to so many other women now, it's absurd. even if it never hits you personally, you can never shake the awareness that it's happening to so many of the cool girls on here, people you like and whose posts you laugh at and who you look up to. they just kinda seem to drop like flies over time. don't you get tired?
