yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

#eve text #elmike #stranger things #byler #only tagging byler because i feel like yall will like this take lol #tagging tagging tagging WHAT ARE EVERYONE ELSE'S THOUGHTS #god i can't believe i'm making a post about stranger things. this feels like poking a bear #i'm not particularly anti m*leven but like... they'd have to do something pretty special at this point for me to feel like it's viable #i'm seeing the bts of s5 and it's got me Having Thoughts #elmike friendship is something i am so passionate about #even before i ever liked byler (didn't ship at all until s4 even though i knew it was a thing before) i've felt this way about elmike #i always believed they were close friends at heart and needed to break up #the romance part of them felt very distinctly young and very much “he was a boy she was a girl” to me #and it hasn't deepened into anything more mature and i don't see how it could based on the current state of the writing... #the fact that lumax exists — a young relationship that is actively maturing and is healthy — makes that clear to me #and the “love confession” in s4 and how disingenuous and miserable it felt was just the nail in the coffin #also the fact that will (who is IN LOVE with mike) was instrumental in making it happen? ... uh... okay... interesting choice… #fucked up and reductive if they make it another queer unrequited love sacrifice for the sake of pushing the heterosexual agenda YUCK #so i really hope the speculation about a m*leven breakup is real!! i think it just makes sense for their characters but who knows #i don't believe in the notion of love at first sight or one true love and i think the writers don't too??? #love to me is an accumulation of experiences and we inevitably choose it at some point rather than fall into it... but idk #tv is so fixated on keeping couples together... sometimes it's just not reality guys especially with young people... LET IT GO... #like i said though i'm not 100% sold that they're going to give up their “golden couple” LMAO #stranger things hasn't historically subverted too many tropes if i'm being honest #anyway i seriously need this season to come out quickly... i'm so bored and getting my master's is crushing my soul #i need frivolity #ALSO btw i won't respond to hateful messages about this so please don't bother. it's not that serious. this is a netflix show

ranking things wednesday definitely calls enid (and you should call your significant other)

my sweet potato moonshine - alcohol is good to wednesday, enid is good to wednesday. big fan of the implication wednesday makes alcohol for fun. 8/10.

canine of my heart - bonus points for the tswift reference. maybe a little long for my liking. good over an email. 7/10.

delicate rabies - short, concise, loving term of endearment. 10/10.

scritch scratch - decent, definitely like it extra because of the alliteration and pararhyme. 6.5/10.

dead tree cells - this is a good pun on "bark." and I'm a pun kinda gal. 7/10.

sinclair de lune - as a pianist and, again, a pun gal, I give this points, but as a human being who doesn't really like clair de lune, I'm indifferent. 8.5/10.

ravishing wall rat - yall seen those posts on tiktok about the massive rats that come out of walls? that's what she's comparing enid to. and they're kind of cute. I think this is sweet, a good inside joke and funny. 9/10.

manicured mongrel - pretty much enid in a nutshell. canine and always with some good ass nails. 8/10.

mrs addams - adorable as shit, I love the love, 11/10.

the funny thing about having read the spider punk comics is going through the atsv tag noticing people saying things about hobie and then being like "it's canon from the comics!!" to justify things they literally just made up. girl i did the reading and i don't know how to tell you this but nothing you just said is true... you fell for the edited panels from twitter didn't you.

#no shade we've all been there. i've been tricked by panel edits before its just like. its crazy some of the claims out there. #i wish as much as everyone else that the ''better to be a f*g than a fascist'' page was real but it's edited i'm sorry #i saw it reposted in the atsv tag AGAIN and i was flipping through the notes out of curiosity to see if anyone would fact check it #and instead i was hit by ANOTHER whammy of fake spider punk lore when someone was like ''hobie has a bf in the comics!!'' girl WHERE are yo #getting this info??? mind you i haven't read Every comic where spider punk makes an appearance so maybe i'm missing something #but like. i'm 99.99999% sure he does not have a bf?? captain anarchy has a bf and their relationship is shown in the spider punk comic run #so maybe the commenter got that mixed up but like???? #also going back to the original point about the edited panel... would marvel in its current state allow any of its characters to say f*g #lets use some critical thinking loves... im so sorry #i'm not mad about it bc like i've been duped by edited comic panels in the past but its just insane to see no one fact checking this #cricket.chatterbox

whyyyyy do the beatles have so many solo stans this site is so weird

#by the beatles i mean paul but you already know that #I do think it's okay to be a solo stan as long as you aren't a dick #but paul's fandom is so toxic and I really don't understand why #realistically you'd expect george's fans to be the toxic ones #not in a shitty way he just had a lot of negative things to say about the beatles so you'd think his fans would adopt that #like I'm not saying he was wrong to feel that way but it could definitely create a rift between george girls and the rest of the fandom #but it just kinda hasn't #instead paul stans are the ones with a chip on their shoulder #maybe it's because the others were sort of sick of paul by the time it ended #and his solo stans feel obligated to justify that by saying everyone else was unreasonable and heartless and ungrateful and etc etc etc #idk I think there's a desire to push this narrative that paul probably briefly held when he was young and immature #that he's the eternal victim and any time people don't like him or he doesn't get what he wants something deeply wrong has happened #and someone needs to right that wrong #but he grew out of that mindset decades ago #clinging to it at this point is just kinda sad #I should delete this these tags are getting out of control

15 Lines Challenge

Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture their character/personality/vibe. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you’re free to include those as well. @fablewritesnonsense strikes again! As always, no pressure, I just really admire these lovely folk's work: @helena-bug @just-another-wasteland-merc @roystory4 @druidgroves @heylittleriotact

(I'm going to be completely honest, I'm working of off 5 incomplete scenes if I just do BG3, so I'm also going to throw in some By Any Other Name quotes. It's technically the same character from a different story. The backstories vary a little but I'm confident the character is still there. By Any Other Name quotes are marked with an asterisk * at the end)

Wynleth Reiden

“Lathander isn’t going to strike me down if I don’t stop and kneel."

“Are you stupid?”

“Of course I’m not going to kill you!”

“And I’m still not sure you are actually what I think you are or just some freak with filed teeth and a biting kink!”

“My faith is entirely a different matter.”

“I am going to drown myself in the Chionthar.”

“It is precisely because you are a depraved beast that you get the juiciest gossip.”

“Yes, good sex!”

“I was married, he died… fifty-four years ago come Mirtul?”

“I- I think I need to be alone for a bit. I need to pray. I need to do something or I’m going to fall apart.”

“Is that why I took up the role of a garden water feature when I tried to dominate it?"

“Becoming a Paladin, beginning a life in politics, was how I could take control back. I never had a connection to Lathander like you did. I didn’t find him when I lost. He was never there for me in my darkest moments. He was forced upon me because it was expected . He inundates every single one of the worst moments in my life. Because of them .” *

"Here, every second of every day is focused on the words and what they mean and it's been like that for centuries. We are like an ouroboros. The dogma is causing us to consume ourselves.” *

"You are a soldier with faith, I am a priest sent to war. They are entirely different things.” *

"I have Saints, Martyrs, Prophets, all manner of Holy Persons in my family line. I was supposed to follow in their footsteps. But I didn’t. Not totally.” *

#number 4 has got to be one of my favorite lines I've ever written #It's also not subtle who she is talking to lmao #At least half of the BG3 lines are pulled from conversations with Astarion lmao #hes the only one I'm 100% confident I have the character voice down pat for #Karlach is in second place #I really need to improve on everyone else #I could probably bullshit my way through The Emperor #the additions I made to his canon lines fit pretty nicely #But I have a feeling as that scene goes on I'm gonna get lost #Anyways peep the line from the sex talk (number 8) #Astarion accuses her of never having good sex which... fair #But the girl was married for 50 years in a long distance relationship #to a sailor of all people #She might not be overly interested in sex but your lying to yourself if you think that shit wasn't wild #Almost all of the By Any Other Name lines are Wynleth arguing with Marius cause that was the conceit of the whole Oneshot for me #Them finally fighting out their differences about faith #MMMMMM Wynleth is how I deal with my religious trauma if you can't tell #tag game #legends of avantris #baldurs gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate iii #loa #edge of midnight #eom #Jericho Writes

to delete if I remember

#dont mind me. #i cant currently afford therapy and im not sure how to shift these feelings to comedy so im just gonna vent into the tags #i wonder if i really deserve this much love in my life. #do i really deserve 2 gfs who love me as incredibly as mine do? #do i really deserve to be greedy and ask two other girls to also be my gf? #i know figuring out if people really deserve love is dumb and everyone deserves to be loved #but a part of me says thats just cuz everyone else deserves it and i dont #part of me says i dont have enough interesting about me to warrant this many gfs #part of me also thinks i shouldn't be trying to date like this when i have no income/money #i know I'm probably fine #but imposter syndrome is a bitch and a half so these thoughts persist

i'm rewatching that series of videos on final fantasy vii's translation and localization again and i'm just remembering why it made me fall in love with the idea of that game, and why i'm so excited to actually be able to play the remake

the english translation is a mess, but through dissecting a lot of the original japanese text and going in-depth with its tone and personality indicators just makes it obvious how much love and care was put into bringing these characters to life

and now that it has been over 20 years since that bad english translation, we can see these characters in english in a light much closer to what was actually intended, and i love that. i had already seen a bunch of clips from remake back when it first came out, and it just makes me so happy to see the huge leap in quality and difference between the weird and stilted characters in the old game and these new iterations that feel like they're Alive. it's just so cool

#i'm babbling but it just fills my heart with joy #specifically about cloud but everyone else is included in the localization glow-up #i just. i love how cloud puts on this tough-guy act and tries to be this badass guy #but he is socially awkward and nervous around girls and stuff and is actually an emotionally complex guy #and just. augh. it makes me feel. am i in love with him or do i want to be him i don't know but he in particular makes me happiest #the other characters are significantly better too and i love that a lot as well but. m'boy #if you go through my #final fantasy #tag then you will see my previous gushing over cloud kjhjlk #i'm just reiterating it as i was reminded of it. god and now that i have remake for myself i can experience it firsthand. hell yeah

#tag talk #fuck. I might just be a straight woman. #like. I like men. and the more I transition the more I vibe with binary womanhood. #sure I don't like getting shoved into restrictive femininity. but I vibe with womanhood as separate from femininity. #anyway. I might be straight. and In ten years it's very possible that being trans becomes a much less huge part of my life #because it will stop being something that I do and something that I wish for and simply something that I am #yeah yeah whatever hi my name is Reggie and I like men #I just. as much as I don't like certain restrictive gender roles I find myself slotting very comfortably into others #and I realize that my idea of gender and their roles was very much shaped by my female role models growing up #and a lot of the disconnect and distress when growing up was due to not being able to follow the path everyone else did. #all my girl friends were growing up into women and I was stuck on the man track. #and being gay was the closest I could get to being myself #but I'm closer than I've ever been before to being able to live my truth as myself #still not gonna shave my legs unless it's sometime in the future for a very specific event. #I like them fuzzy. they make me feel cool. #I like having some cultural masculinity still. I just don't want to be defined by it #talking about my binary trans experience is always a little weird because I'm aware of how binary I'm describing things #and I get that if my words were used to describe someone else's experience it might end up sounding hella transphobic #but these words are for me. they're my experience. they're my life not someone else's. #and this is how my identity works. #it's like how feminism protects the right of trad wives to be trad wives. #we just gotta recognize that just because one woman wants to be the designated dishwasher not every woman feels that way. #anyway. I might be dating a guy by this time next week. he's cool so far and we kinda got match-made by a mutual friend #we watched Redline tonight and it's hella good #he's really cool but I feel like I've got something to provide and to bring to the relationship. so we're still on peer-level I think. #which is new. usually I'm way ahead of the other person. maybe my fault for fishing in the bad fish barrel #the emotionally damaged and burdened fish barrel.

i don't write fanfiction but rn i'm just thinking about how infuriating it must be to receive a negative comment that's completely unnecessary, especially if it's misrepresenting what you wrote and your intentions...i would go crazy

#there's plenty of fics i've read and hated. like have seriously annoyed me and there are fic authors I have one-sided beef with in my head #but like. you literally don't have to share all your opinions #like it's one thing to be confused and have questions if you comment in a respectful way #you don't have to go out of your way to comment bullshit wtf do you think this is who do you think you are #or when they frame it as “critiques” like shut the hell up it's literally fanfiction #or like. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO START DISCOURSE ON AO3 ICANTJSDRJASDF #ao3 isn't a social media site. it's literally random people writing stuff for free on the internet #like i'm judgemental and overdramatic too #i'll be scrolling thru ao3 tags and see horrendous looking fics and think “this person must be so annoying and dumb” #and then you keep scrolling you move on #learn self-control and keeping shit to yourself #not every thought and reaction needs to be shared especially on THE post/fanwork #like go make some vague indirect passive aggressive separate post like everyone else #ugh people are so desensitized to internet interactions you're not invincible bc you're not in person #so bold and brazen for what #people who cosplay as mean girls and vigilantes on the internet are the most insufferable people #misc #✏️

the fun of having put out the "bj's moustache is gay culture" post while also headcanoning first and foremost that whatever bj is, it's not actually gay but something way funnier and more fucked up

#what im saying is that hawkeye is sometimes bj's wife but not in a gay way #it's the opposite in a way of how frank burns desires hawkeye carnally and is so mad about it being really gay #and that hawkeye is queer in a gender and a sexuality way that means he can slide into whatever mold someone else desires #and margaret is a transmasc who will give herself that crew cut when she's in her 60s #and everyone will mistake her for a lesbian but actually she's gay for men #but hawkeye can be a girl for her if he wants #bj and frank both represent the lie of the american dream but in different ways #(that is they both went to war on a promise about smthinsmthin american duty masculinity etc) #but while I'm absolutely on the frank is gay choo choo train #idk with bj it just seems a bit boring as a read to end it there imo #especially as it's generally agreed upon that his character was so broadly written #i prefer to play in that broadness personally but hey if u wanna tag that post as gay bj i get where that comes from #ilke yeah for sure the moustache is gay culture - 70s gay culture #also tbh to get serious for a sec it was very weird getting into the mash fandom while this whole thing was going on #and i think it kept me from getting totally into it from the first jump - lot of judgement on headcanons #lot of *this is all of fandoms opinion on xy thing and if you say something different you're wrong* #lot of treating headcanons and meta as serious discussion pieces rather than just... engaging with a piece of fiction #(this not about analysing outdated elements of the show am talking the character and not-so-serious meta) #all of this to say: pls dont be weird on this post they're called headcanons for a reason #it's 2pm and i am pulling an all-nighter to hit a deadline #we're feeling fragile gents
