#give them a raise tbh

I actually find it really bizarre and counter intuitive that clinically speaking, you cannot legally be diagnosed with a personality disorder until you're at least 18. The reason given for this is because "the personality has not fully developed before this age" like ???

Ah yes, my favorite strategy. Not diagnosing the problem until it's already been virtually cemented into your brain for life! Wouldn't it be easier (and more painless) to address the problem before it's fully developed?

#im also certain that the age that personality fully forms at is not a universally agreed upon number #like idk. maybe this raises less questions about age and more about the potential consequences of pathologizing personalities #it feels a little fucked up to me that some mental illness are 'just' mental illnesses while others are deemed a thing synonymous with you #and i can understand if some people with personality disorders do really heavily identify with their disorders #thats fine! #i also think the average person has a concept of personality which is relatively stagnant and thats just not realistic tbh #i mean if you think personality is stagnant then yours probably is so in rhat sense youre not wrong #but personality can absolutely change and i dont think it makes you a 'different person' #i think its a natural progression #anyways. got a little derailed but the point im trying to make is #lets find a way to give people with personality disorders a more realistic hope for recovery without invalidating them #and also lets maybe try to treat personality disorders preemptively so they don't get worse

combining this speech with the fact that hero’s been doing her own thing for years and that sparrows been very firmly forcing lark to stand down when we know he wants to train normal too and i think you’ll find that sparrow is still not as bad of a parent as y’all think he is

#dndads #kasey rambles #dndads spoilers #like yeah god hero’s entire thing is so fucked #but tbh if we blame people for their mistakes without acknowledging that they’ve ACTIVELY recognized those mistakes and seem to regret them #we’ll get nowhere in life #sparrow might not be the greatest parent and he’s made mistakes! he fucked up with hero! #but clearly. he knows that. and tbh it’s probably why normal was raised so differently #ultimately if this quest had never happened normal and hero both would still be happily managing their own lives #clearly there’s no pressure on hero anymore and normal never got any of that pressure so like #idk #i don’t like that people are jumping on sparrow again #he’s not the one still pressuring his twin to give their teen children a gun (lark) #it’s okay sparrow i forgive you

Miscalenous content, mostly fankids because I have no chill

Made an AU where the sealing didn't go as planned, PV is found out not to be hollow and later when they mop around the ancient basin they hear that at least one of their siblings is still stuck in the abyss. They were the very last to hatch and after PV steals the king's brand for themself and goes down they find them injured and raises them back to health in the palace. They keep their existence a secret, of course.

A lil doodle of what if the five great knights survived and Hollow gets to reunite with them (my attempt at the perspective on their head Did Not Work Out, they just look like a squished banana)

Babies content! Mostly Tally, two concepts for their siblings (triplets babyyyy) and a singular Sting

I found a One Singular Quirrel x Hollow shipper and their art has infected my brain. It's terminal and I will be passing away shortly

#spooky arts #Tally's sibs are called Till and Morningdew. Yeah that lil note about PV sucking at naming things is not a joke. They legitimately do #The few times they're good at it is when they name them after somebody else. Otherwise...its a disaster #The triplets are from an AU where I just looked at Norel and went '...I can make him worse' #AND BOY DID I EVER #The lil Tally drawings are from a mini AU variant of FaaF where they end hp having a kid before the whole disaster of being outed and #Secretly raise them in the palace with Hornet's help. It absolutely does not go well and after they're found out and PK tries to pick up #Tally (non-malicious) he ends up looking like he's been put through a meat grinder. The knights also get their asses handed to them when #they try to step in. I'm a tries to talk to the baby and IMMEDIATELY gets tackled #I made wyrms very aggressive when it comes to protecting their offspring which gives me plenty of opportunity to make PV go fucking feral #Not the first time they almost turned their father from an Is to a Was in my aus tbh #ISMA* My phone keeps connecting her name to I'm a jfc

I didn't get a chance to vote on the poll, but also noticed what would have been my answer wasn't there so I'm writing it in now- I personally see it as he's their CREATOR first, manager second. They don't call him manager in a lot of materials, and they also don't call him father, they call him "Captain" or "sir," (this being pulled from largely the additional voice actor's portrayals at least, which I think are worth at least considering in a wider scope of interpretation)

That feels like the title or nickname he'd prefer they use, hence programming them TO use it for him- and that betrays neither fatherly intent nor producer intent, but pre-existing intent he didn't change (lifting from prior coding) or that he preferred. Beyond that he definitely refers to them as troops- it is their aesthetic, but it's more impersonal

the items you get for the lore on 1010 are toys, and while it's not stated, I've always thought there was an implication that he had made them- His relationship then isn't one of a father to sons, but of a creator about his creations, which IS different. It's why he's as willing to literally throw them at you in combat and, simultaneously, seemingly instinctively, puts a hand out in front of himself to protect them when the final attack is coming- even if they are tools to some degree, he MADE them what they are and he's PROUD of that- He doesn't want to see his work destroyed

Obviously this gets increasingly more complicated if you believe that 1010 gain sapience of some degree, but I still think the relationship isn't quite what I'd call fatherhood. He is simultaneously all the family they have and deeply, inherently unlike them- yet there is undeniably pieces of him and influences from him present in them, because every creation will reflect its creator in some way, in ways they can't even predict

Then, y'know, yeah, it's being a manager time. Ultimately he's gotta organize them and tell them what to do- how he feels about that could be a variety of ways, but he is doing it nonetheless, so something about it matters to him as well- likely the vow to serve the city thing, if leading a boyband is the way to ensure the lights stay on, then he's going to do it 'till his heart gives out.

To start, I do think you're getting a little caught up in the semantics of the poll, but since you're making the case that "creator" is different from "father," I'll hear you out.

And tbh, I really like that interpretation. It's a little more nuanced from what I'm used to seeing, and it is giving me something to sink my teeth into.

I do differ in that I don't think Neon J. personally made the toys or the base 1010: I felt like the implication of the MKI - MKIII standee was that 1010 has actually been around since the wartime era, since MKI 1010 are build more similarly to the recycled battlebots in the Metro Division. Parallel to that, I think it's implied that Neon J. is a cyborg due to suffering injuries in the war. Since they appeared to exist at the same time, it seemed more likely to me that 1010 and NJ's body originated from the same source, but not that NJ was necessarily the direct creator of either them or the toys. (Though, I will admit that knowing that the toy company is called "J-1" does imply that he has something to do with it. But to rectify that, I'm gonna say that he just bought out the company/factory, but he didn't start them.)

But that's just an argument of history. Both interpretations can still lead to the "creator" theory in the sense that NJ still views 1010 impersonally, but still fondly. Even if he didn't make the base, he still turned them into what they are today, which is still a lot of hard work and dedication to the craft.

It's not making him out to be this overly sentimental guy (which is ultimately what I dislike about most "father first" interpretations), but he's also not heartless, and I like that. It's retaining what many interpretations (including mine, sadly) sometimes miss out on, and that's that he's an artist, just like all the other stars. He values his craft, and 1010 are the result of that, for better or worse.

#nsr #no straight roads #1010 #neon j #gbunny responds #thanks for the good meal~ #it's been a while since someone's sent in some interesting analysis #i'm a little too stuck with what i've got to change my own headcanons #but i genuinely really like this take #so i'm gonna go ahead and file it into my brain as 'valid 1010 opinions' #which i will promptly do nothing with but will make me happy when i think about it~ #tbh. i stick with the 'father' interpretation because it gives me the platform to explore generational trauma and the cycle of abuse #that is the whole point of NJ/white/green's horrible relationship #i made him a father just so he can be absent #BUT if you take away that angle then there's a better platform for discussing NJ's war-trauma with more focus #because if he doesn't see them has his kin #then he doesn't have the obligation to 'raise' them nor do they have the obligation to expect it #so whatever 1010 are becomes more a reflection NJ's psyche #which i think is a great angle to come from #it's juicy. i'm into it~

Upon seeing the post about second as iida my first thought was and third can be uraraka then I noticed you had the same idea in the tags

Great minds think alike I just think that's what she deserves,,,trio holders to the original trio babeyyy

#*while making a chart* third's lack of familial care meant he had to find his own in group and eventually meant supporting his leader #where later uraraka was raised with love that she would go as far for her parents as third originally would have gone for second #and still is inclined by nature to a supportive role- she has no great aspirations on leadership or power itself but in how she can help #other heroes (where previously how to help a ragtag freedom fighter group) #*continuing to make a chart* now Second's influence on Izuku could link to that early acceptance of 'yeah world isn't fair' #and i see a link in how Second really took apart his minor speed quirk to do more with it and Izuku's general quirk analysis and hacking #but where Second was mistreated as a threat Izuku was seen as a lack of one and someone to pittied even by those who looked him #which influence the way they react to said injustice though both are moving without thinking to do Something about it #(second having support of a group and Izuku very much not is the deciding factor between Izuku not going with the spider plan methinks) #and i think second + third having teamed up first like how Izuku + Uraraka met first is a good parallel with how Tenya is initially #antagonistic to Izuku but ends up joining both quickly when actual opportunity arises and he sees good things from them #and as Yoichi's somewhat black and white morality did develope somewhat specifically to oppose a terrible brother‚(i gotta finish that fic #where i go more into how they pushed each other more extreme to try to shut down loopholes) Tenya's developed in a way both supported by and #to support a great older brother which is why murder is a hundred percent ok if it's for tensei's sake #and this can be expressed by their different aproaches to making their hair look very different from or very similar to their brothers #speaking of hair that chapter where Uraraka did #a ponytail that spiked upwards? and third's hair? i see it #just as i see a connection when it comes to how she grapples and redirects enemy momentum to the fa jin power and connected combat style #also second scar = Izuku's ofa activation and tbh both could not care less about what their hair is doing dhfhfjgg #plus something about Izuku's 'gotta give ofa away' mode we joke about activating and Second's specific disapproval of him #man that self esteem deficiency sure can spread across more than one lifetime! #and of course. hands. #hands in the vault. tenya returning the favor to grab Izuku's #though the next step is to wonder about fourth but i do have an idea. wonder if we're on the same track about it again #pocket talks to people #anon

sooooo……. there’s some ConversationTM* going around the theology (and adjacent) girlies tonight and it’s got me very intrigued—are there really more options than just Calvinist/Arminian?? bc I’ve always been raised with this idea that those are The Two Options regarding salvation theology and how exactly it all plays out. but apparently that’s…. not the case??

Iwill add that yes, Molinism is a thing that exists, and I know of exactly one guy who’s a theologian and philosopher and who believes in that lol. it’s not exactly a super common alternative to the others. and then I do believe Catholics have a slightly separate view as well, but I’m mainly just talking about soteriology within Protestant theology here anyway.

*(I won’t say ‘DiscourseTM’ bc that seems more antagonistic than what I’m seeing around here rn; everything seems to be in good faith and just for the sake of pointing out minor discrepancies atm)

#I will add that I’ve largely been raised in Baptist churches but my family is… not really that #we’re definitely a bit more wesleyanish in our theology #and that’s what I’ve always been taught at home from my own parents #but I definitely was also always under the impression (and I think my parents may be as well) that Calvinism/Arminianism is like. a binary. #you are one or the other. and there are levels within each. but there aren’t really any third options. all denominations trace back there. #(tbh this is a huge reason why I desperately wish I had been given better theological training when I was younger #because suddenly I’m an adult and quite set in my views and opinions theology and also have a long-standing Fite Me sort of mentality #towards Bible teachers in general due to some very unethical ones we encountered a Lot throughout my childhood #and a tendency to want to die on the smallest and most arbitrary theological hills imaginable #AND an extremely strong adherence to a set of theological tenets that… I am recently discovering possibly aren’t at all what the people who #taught them to me thought they were… #so like. now in a lot of ways it feels like I’m basically having to unlearn and relearn a bunch of extremely basic stuff about all this #while also dealing with the constant fear of ‘giving up’ and either leaving the faith entirely or embracing a completely foreign brand #that’s not at all what I was raised with and still do hold to be true and accurate and good) #gurt says stuff #theology #religon #christianity #faith #knitting circle

hnghnh obviously i don't like dana but i don't dislike her as much as it would seem from how i clown on her. like that's all funny haha. but actually i'm thinking about her

#sm 2099 #she's giving daisy buchanan yknow #kind of naive/easily swayed. used to the finer things in life. not particularly profound #not because she lacks the capacity for it but ig just because she's been raised that way #she doesn't get the kind of conflict anyone in the o'hara family is dealing with because she's simply never had to experience that #and that's not necessarily her fault #but there's this fundamental fracture between them that can't be bridged #is she still shitty? yeah #but to be fair. from her perspective her fiance just started acting weird one day and then threw her out #does that explain hooking up with tyler stone? maybe not. cause who in the world would touch that man like girl what were you thinking #but no no jokes aside i get her thought process and i can't seriously hate her #she deserved better treatment from the writers too tbh cause she could've been more fleshed out #all the women in the comic could've been- that's why i love the way they rebooted lyla for spiderverse so much tbh #giving her more agency and making her an actual person #xina and dana deserve that kinda thing too :/ i guess xina got it better but still #dana was kind of just an accessory to various guys WHICH TO BE FAIR COULD'VE WORKED HAD IT BEEN AN INTENTIONAL THEME THEY WANTED TO EXPLORE #but i don't Think that was the case because like i said xina's writing had this problem too #just. man. what the fuck is this comic

// speaking of tatu one day I'll transcribe some of the lore on alijae elves that my dm sent me because it's soooo good. "the other elves are stuck-ups who aren't willing to do what needs to be done, but WE are ready to throw our traditions off the window, reveal our ancient secrets and pact with demons if that's what it takes to preserve our homeland. also we built our entire new culture around writing down information and sharing stories in case we went extinct for choosing to fight instead of being cowards 😘"

#not so sassy because they dont really give a shit tbh #it's the other elves who give them weird looks #the alijae are too busy writing and studying and making ✨art✨ #i hope the campaign will take us to their main city eventually i would LOVE that #because tatu has like a vague idea of alijae culture like she has a vague idea of many things #but she hasn't been raised. or so she thinks #;about ( tatu ) #other elves: noooooo you can't go sharing your sacred secrets and history with everyone that's why we pass it on orally 😭😭😭 #the alijae: BIG MURALS IN OUR BIG CITY FOR EVERY VISITOR TO SEE GO BRRRRRRR

whoever on 3's development team decided that nate, buck n hailey should have a single braincell between them better have gotten a raise cuz that's the best part of the game tbh-

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #yw3 #whoever in general decided to give nate human friends who can see yo-kai deserves a raise tbh. good for him #i wanna know who decided on the two stories thing. they deserve a raise too #they deserve to get a raise but also i kind of want to kill them because it makes the game SO. FUCKING. L O N G #n story link is HELL #tfw you can't progress nate's story because you can't beat meganyan in hailey's story #so in nate's story you're kind of just stuck trying to solve three fancy that! mysteries or whatever- #just remembered that in that one part of 3 where buck follows you on the overworld i did a gate of whimsy n that's still hilarious to me #sometimes you just gotta take your bestie into a gate of whimsy with you- #idk why that's so funny to me it just is-

Haplo/Marit has SO many rights

#thinking about them this morning #well originally i was thinking about patho au tbh #any au where marit raised rue tends to get me #i think it's about the cross purposes it puts her in when haplo inevitably returns to her life #like she's defensive of herself but also her child #adds an interesting element imo #even though an au where she gives rue up for adoption is arguably more in line with canon #and is also potentially interesting #what can i say ive always had a weak spot for kids in fiction #and meanwhile haplos pursuit of her is ALSO a pursuit of his child in aus where rue is there #like he wants to have this family which could almost make his feelings for marit seem symbolic #but they never do to me??? #it always feels like haplo admires and respects marit and wants to support her and also be supported by her #admittedly the beginning of into the labyrinth i think haplos feelings for her DO feel kind of symbolic #it would be a bit impossible for them not to-- this is effectively a stranger #but i think the dynamic just works by the end. theres respect and trust and mutual admiration #it's not necessarily gushy it's just. alignment. #anyway i love them
