#he’s somehow worse than her

[quicktimeeventfull]

honestly misa and light are so compelling to me because both of them have like, subzero interest in one another and in fact actively resist any attempt to learn one single thing about the other. this is obvious from light's side of things & probably does not need expanding upon, but misa also does not care even a little bit about light -- she is instead in this parasocial relationship with this fake made-up version of him that has nothing whatsoever to do with him. like the amount of effort she puts into ignoring and wildly misinterpreting every single non-instructional thing light has ever told her is truly astounding. she lives with him for years and is genuinely convinced that he's a sweet, thoughtful man who is completely obsessed with her and can't live without her due to the depths of his love. they're soulmates and also strangers.

#death note #this is not an anti-misa post i am begging everyone to understand that this is a pro-misa post #her toxicity and delusion compels me so #i think she maybe ? knows him a bit better in the anime than the manga #if for no other reason that that (exceptional) scene where she brings him wine and he knocks it aside #but its true in both #i maintain that although he's much worse to her than she is to him light is actually somehow more interested in misa than she is in him #bc he has a like. extremely uncharitable but grounded-in-reality assessment of her #whereas misa is just in a relationship with some made-up guy #in fairness he actually literally can't live without her but thats bc she has the notebook so he needs her on a practical level

and here is me trying to get a clean screenshot of this pose without the dialogue box, a saga:

i'm sad to say that this saga has no real conclusion (yet...) the wind-up animation is long enough for him to start babbling so i'm doubtful i will ever capture the screenshot i want. anyway i love this guy more than i could've ever prepared myself for 😭

I recognize that this mostly happens because Obi-Wan is and always has been a direct foil for Anakin, but I am SO tired of all of Obi-Wan's more canon love interests ending up being more about making commentary on Anakin and Anidala than they are on exploring OBI-WAN. It's just sad and I'm so tired of it and I think that until people are willing to write a romance for Obi-Wan that isn't actually about Anakin at all, Obi-Wan should just be made off-limits for romance plot lines entirely. Leave the man alone, please, I am begging you.

#star wars #obi-wan kenobi #i just finished reading the first half of secrets of the jedi with the siriwan relationship #and holy mother of god was it anidala coded all to hell and back #obi-wan is turned into a mighty prude and siri into this sweet motherly character just to make it work #everything from the reaction obi-wan has on seeing her at the beginning to how quickly the relationship moves to the secrecy #it's all anidala #it's all ABOUT anidala #obi-wan is so ooc in this that it's not even funny #he's not even in character to previous works written about him BY THE SAME AUTHOR #and yet somehow it is STILL miles better than whatever the fuck obitine was supposed to be #where obi-wan is given a love interest specifically designed to be killed off so that they could compare that to anidala #and honestly the scene where she dies is probably their ONLY good scene together #it's certainly the only scene where they seem to genuinely understand or even LIKE each other #like siriwan has obi-wan acting ooc but at least he's not literally misogynistic towards his love interest #unlike the way tcw chose to write him #like yeah sure i really feel the romance in obi-wan calling satine 'hysterical' over her perfectly reasonable political views #and at least siri respects and understands the jedi life and LOVES the jedi order unlike satine #so despite how frustrating siriwan is - obitine is 10x worse still #it makes me SO so glad that tala ended up losing the romantic aspect of her relationship with obi-wan #because you KNOW that that would've just ended up another anidala parallel #again #as obi-wan loses yet another female love interest to death at the hands of the sith. again. #honestly tala's relationship with obi-wan is IMPROVED by the lack of a romantic love interest #there's a lot of interesting meaning in that relationship that i honestly believe would be lost if it had been romantic #obi-wan and love interests just don't seem to mix well in canon or anything canon-adjacent #free my man from terrible romantic storylines that aren't even about him #obitine critical #siriwan critical #anti obitine

trying to be funnycore about it but it was so insane i mean neurodivergent to me that i told a therapist i was hallucinating and so paranoid i couldnt leave a single spot if i was alone since evil things were in my house and have daily panic attacks and she told me it was all real and that im just having revelations from god. and then she politely told me i was lying since she doesnt remember saying that. im not even christain you cant kinassign me joan of arc and then tell me im too autistic to be in the same room with. she also kind of made fun of me for being nonbinary but i was too delirious to process it.

isabelle morning snuggles ☝️

#the handful of times ive attempted mental health help it was somehow worse than i anticipated #at least for the horror story of the other therapist i tried i told my doctor about it and he was so shocked that #he took the facility out of places he recommends ppl to so at least being a psycho guinea pig did something good. #isabelle #another time the counselor or whatever picked up her chair and scooted away from me. im five foot four man what the hell am i gonna do #bite your ankles?

The Intimate of Devils storyline is the longest storyline with the Quiet Deviless/the Affectionate Devil, there are some other cards and options here and there but no major storylines (that I know of, maybe some ES but I got into fate locked content only relatively recently). It's free real estate for headcanons but I would love to read more about them! I love the snippets where the Deviless goes from 0 to 100 like:

🌇- Could you see your oc surviving beyond the fifth city? Would their relationship with the canon character(s) still be intact?

Hiram will still be there no matter what the future has in store for the neath. He's functionally immortal thanks to the Time ending of Heart's Desire, and he plans to get the Hesperidean Cider sooner or later. I personally like the Neon Future because I love the Berlin setting and I like the angsty potential of Hiram's character development after losing London. He's doing everything in his power to keep the city intact with the Leasehold now, and he would try to preserve the next cities too. Losing almost everything and everyone (again) would make him care even more about the old and new citizens, and he would try (again) to prevent another catastrophe. Hell isn't going anywhere and the Deviless is one of the very few people that he can count on, she knows how to help him through his worst moments.

Their relationship would end up reinforced by the whole ordeal, Hiram is very confident about his ability to keep the Leasehold's effect intact, but he's incapable of caring deeply about the little things, so another Fall would force him to improve and let go of his more egotistical side. He could get worse too, but he still would have to reassess his priorities, relationships included. He'd stop treating everything as a game, for instance.

Knowing that Hiram is going to be around forever is very comforting for the Deviless, and the possibility of him dying for good would make her worry more than she ever did.  Her possessiveness would probably get worse, but she would realise that they truly deeply care about each other, lack of soul and humanity notwithstanding. They would still enable their respective obsessions and bad habits, but they would be a little more aware of it.

Plus, the idea of a modern au with them is *chef's kiss* 👌 they can text, they can send each other memes, they can drive around, they can go to the Berghain, the possibilities are endless

#they are so bad but perfect at the same time #the deviless can't make hiram worse because he already choose to get worse and she just took advantage of it #she can't make him better because he doesn't care about that #hiram doesn't care about making her better either and he can't make her worse than she already is #BUT they can improve their respective personality traits when they're together somehow #this benefits only them and no one else in their lives #the only way to make them care a bit more about their surroundings is dropping an entire city on their heads #anyway enough tags #this ask game unlocked the brainrot #oc asks #hiram x deviless

Out of all the things that threw me through a loop in the mario movie, the bros taking their gloves off was the most oddly jarring. I said out loud “they have flesh hAnds!-”

#y'know among other things #beating an absolute decomposed horse here but. Chris Pratt's voice acting was somehow. worse. than I was expecting. #the um. the random real songs? Mr. Blue Sky and Thunderstruck? that was weird #the other music was WONDERFUL #I know Mario has been canonically like 25 for a while but it's still weird seeing him with his young parents and being fussy about food #and playing video games in his lil teenager bedroom #speaking of- the Mario-hates-mushrooms thing? what? #and his personality in general was just fucking weird but it would have been less jarring without the. lazy shit voice. sorry. dead horse ik #thought there'd be more luigi tbh #kamek and bowser absolutely stole the show they were fucking great #peach was generic... I didn't dislike her but. myeh. another Illumination quirky girlboss go off I guess #Donkey kong was fun actually I rly liked him #his beef with Mario was entertaining #anyway ok enough about characters #the movie was a visual feast and the action scenes were. fucking excellent. so clever. #which. says. a. LOT. given how much I normally hate illumination movies visually #oh yeah toad. he was there. same way I feel about him in the games so #dude I kept my eyes PEELED for Funky Kong. he should've absolutely been the mechanic or SOMETHINg. so sad. #it's funny the longer the movie went on the more and more and more I realized. oh. this is an illumination movie alright #take that as you will #anyway I sound like I hated it I didn't I fucking loved every second of it #when you go into a movie with the mindset of ''I'm going to tear this to shreds as light-heartedly as possible'' you have a great time #and you get pleasantly surprised along the way! #like I said! visual feast! clever fights! some fun characters! music! background gags and easter eggs! #bowser!

rewatching di i totally forgot they had leon call maria a bitch 😭 like omfg it was so aggressive and for what??

#resizura rants #hes so misogynistic lmao #not even like ‘a bitch’ #he called her ‘his bitch’ which is somehow worse than just ‘a bitch’

The interesting thing about it is that at the first glance it really seems like Kankri’s losing it over nothing. Which, to be fair, he kind of is. Porrim was just being nice to Karkat. But his reaction becomes... actually understandable, given later on we find out that Porrim has no respect for Kankri’s personal boundaries, like trying to touch him, which is the only real instance of us seeing Kankri lose his composure.

And of course the nickname thing, as well as the sweater thing.

And then acts pale toward him at the first opportunity:

An idea he finds uncomfortable. Like any other potential romantic relationship with her.

So while he is overreacting in that one conversation with Karkat present, he’s also doing this, because Porrim apparently never took his “no” for an answer, so he clearly has to repeat himself over and over again.

#it's 2k23 can be finally stop pretending that Porrim is somehow better than the rest of her team? #she's just less openly annoying #and the more attention you pay to her dialogue the worse it gets #like i do think she means well but that doesn't justify harrassing somebody #in case somebody wondered what to call trying to be pale with an unwilling person #you know. pale. that romantic quadrant. #seriously what the fuck is wrong with her #she really saw the guy pretty much have a panic attack and proceeded to do another thing he finds uncomfortable #then again we're talking about Porrim 'HIC did nothing wrong' Maryam #so what do I expect... #kankri vantas #porrim maryam #homestuck #harrasment mention #btw is somebody wonders: everything but the one with 'Sho+o+sh!' is from the 1st openbound #and the 'Sho+o+sh!' one is from ministrife #porrim maryam salt #tho idk if it can be rly called that #i only get to real complaining in the tags #so i guess the tag is for the tags

not to be all typical teenage “i hate my parents” but do they just lose all sense of empathy the second they turn 50? is that like. a thing?

#when i tell you i don’t want you to ask my sister and her friend to leave i’m being fucking serious #don’t just think you know better and do whatever the fuck you want #also why do they assume you’re always lying or hiding something #i don’t want you to look through my phone cause i want fucking privacy like everyone else #kids are human beings too how is this a hard concept to grasp #and it so much worse when you’re mentally ill #like maybe i don’t wanna make dinner cause i’m fucking depressed not cause i’m lazy #and it’s also so different when you’re percieved female versus male #my brother will sit in his chair and play the same game for 8 hours straight and then take the trash out once and somehow be deemed more #productive than me even though i cleaned the kitchen and again im fucking depressed and autistic and hes neurotypical

Somehow I had not fully processed the story of the journey to Marcus Mumford’s house to record but thanks to Jaime’s anons now all I can think about is that Taylor drove six hours into the countryside on the wrong side of the road and somehow there were no casualties that we know of

#because frankly if he’s letting her drive Joe either does not know how at all/does not have a license #or he is somehow a worse driver than she is which is…hard to fathom #but either way based on the fact that man has ever gotten into a car with her driving I have to assume he had a reason beyond #‘it’s cute she likes to drive herself’ #because he has to know he’s taking his life into his hands with that decision

[hassiegfrieddoneanythingwrong]

Okay, now that I've calmed down from the game writers telling me point-blank that they view Kriemhild mainly as a shipping attachment for Siegfried and not as the protagonist of the Nibelungenlied...

this event gives you the choice of either:

A.) Beating up child servants with Siegfried, with bonus Kriemhild cheering him on

or

B.) Beating up Siegfried with child servants

It's okay with either option because it's a friendly duel, but given the context, I'm sure Siegfried won't mind losing to give the kids a good time. His ego isn't that fragile, after all.

I'm sure he understands.

Although the first option sounds funny enough, I would go for the second option since Siegfried can definitely handle being "beaten" by the kids, it's also funny imagining him being overwhelmed by most or all of the child Servants, like being taken down by nothing but puppies. Plus, anything to help bolster up confidence in them (that doesn't involve him sacrificing himself)!

#ask #tbf I think the only writer who treats Kriem like that is her own writer Higashide #considering he's also the writer for Artemis and Orion as well as Karna and Arjuna #(before they + the rest of the Indian Servants were given to Minase) #and also Edison - although hilariously Tesla isn't a Higashide Servant but a Sakurai Servant #not that different from how Sigurd is a Higashide Servant but 9 times out of 10 is used by Sakurai #ANYWAY while other writers are just as guilty in often pairing up Servants (Sakurai for example) #Higashide's duo Servants almost always have a ''bit'' and that ''bit'' is more dead than the dead horse #Edison and Tesla? AC! DC! AC! DC! #Karna and Arjuna? I Have To Fight You Right Here Right Now™️ #and when he does couples it's somehow worse #like I've complained about Kriemhild enough already but his Artemis and Orion (when he's a small bear) #are just discount versions of Lum and Ataru from Urusei Yatsura #and what's even worse his duo's and couples are ALMOST. ALWAYS. TOGETHER. WITH. NO. SCREENTIME. APART. #at least with Sakurai's Servants her duo's and couples have enough time apart and when they're together #(although all the writers should learn to mix up the dynamics every so often like in Aeaean Spring Breeze) #but Higashide? nah. the paired up Servants need to be together on the screen /alllllll the tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmme/ #tldr Higashide's a good writer - a very good writer - but when he does duos/couples outside of main story stuff It's Awful #anyway. that should be enough bitching from me for a while.

[like-sands-of-time]

Any house md fans that also read Cassandra Clares clockwork series? Because huddson (House, Cuddy, Wilson) reminded me of that dynamic quite a bit. House loves two people in his life, one he can love and spend a "lifetime" with, as Wilson dies from cancer. And the other, whom he can love and finish his life with after Wilson's gone.

Neither one is loved less and they both led their own lives, of course, but for better and mostly worse, they revolve around each other.

#i could go into more detail but id need to reread the series #those books were the first time i saw an ot3 of any kind actually work out and it wasnt even polyamorous really #but the two guys were best friends closer than close due to their bond as warriors #and tessa comes along and they all just fall in love with each other #jem has his illness thats going to take him away from them #and will has his rejection fears and difficulty talking about feelings #and tessa cant die... can't remember why or how but she just doesnt die #and somehow it all worked out for them to all be happy together #amazing #in my head cuddy finds house after wilsons death because she just knows wilson didnt go travelling alone #right after house apparently died #and she finds him heart shattered but this time its shattered wide open and able to be mended #and shes in her fourties and she has a daughter shes been raising by herself while working at another hospital #but despite how all reason says its not worth it shes always had impossible expectations #she and rachel choose to spend their lives with him because he's different now #since he ran out of vicodin during wilsons increasing pain hes forced himself through withdrawal #and he doesnt have the stress of patient care anymore to make his leg ache worse than it always does #hes not happier necessarily but more present in life maybe he thinks ten steps ahead but he doesnt worry about it #house md #lisa cuddy #gregory house #james wilson #hilson #huddy

[gibbearish]

also the fact that you can't choose not to deactivate roxy to get an alternate ending sucks. like have her know Something is wrong in the pizzaplex and if you choose not to deactivate her she mentions it to you and you help her out from under the car and she tags along with you freddy style as you investigate. have roxy mentioning weird shit make cassie put the dots together that gregory sure sounded like a computer splice earlier. have her question why the weird mask that stabbed her in the brain to implant a chip with no warning has been very insistent about turning off security systems. have her question why, if gregory asked her to meet him at the pizzaplex, he would leave behind a walkie talkie and then get himself stuck rather than just wait for her. and have /that/ be what gives you access to the scooper ending rather than just Zooming Out Some Cameras. also make the bonnie stuff actually have something to do with the plot dude people are super interested in that they wouldve been ECSTATIC if youd brought glamrock bonnie back for real, especially if hed somehow gotten revenge on monty, like say if you did get all the pat pats (dumb name btw) instead of deactivating him, you REactivate him, but have him be disoriented and need time to actually wake up so all he can do is like save cassie from monty at some point

#same with chica you couldve actually done something with giving chica back her voice box like theres a security door she can #screech open for you for something to get a secret #also make the ai voice with gregory more consistently present but more subtle #the fact that they obviously had most of gregory's lines recorded fresh for this game as just normal speaking and then only did the #splicing for the part right before the reveal sucks #by the time they actually reveal it ur like. yeah woo i guess #make it happen more but be more subtle that way players will notice but not be entirely sure if it's deliberate or not #also !! the scooper ending sucks it doesnt actually feel like a different ending because we get no like #follow up past 'its dead now' #is it fully gone? does gregory still take her out as a liability if the mimic's no longer a threat? it just Ends and isn't engaging as #an ending at all and leaves you like. thats it?thats the good ending? #like this is indeed somehow worse than the comic endings because at least then we got to like. see what happens to gregory after he leaves #this one theyre just like. you killed it! good job! ............................... did you like. need something. orrr #also the sharp uptick in gregory being obviously ai near the end really ruins the tension of the candy cadet story #lile if the hints were more spread out it would feel like theyre actually solving a mystery but instead its just a big #landslide of HEY. HEY HES FAKE THATS NOT REAL GREGORY HEY. HEY ITS SPLICED HEY ITS A FAKE #so then candy cadet story‚ instead of being cool as hell‚ comes across as just like. yeah dude i get it #security breach ruin

People are SO weird in SO many ways about Toriel and she does not deserve a lick of it!!!!

so fucking weird! how do people look at a child murderer who killed six children himself and his wife who left him (because he declared he wanted to kill children) and go "hm. what a great day to mischaracterize THIS WOMAN in the wildest fucking ways". like i'm sure people are weird about asgore but i haven't seen NEARLY as many people being weird about him as i have toriel. the day both undertale and deltarune toriel start being treated right by the fandom is the day i can rest <3

#the undertale fandom is super fucking weird about the female characters in general honestly. #toriel? demonized to hell and back. perceived as somehow 'worse than asgore' for leaving her child murderer husband #while asgore's murder is so often used in fanworks to try and make us identify WITH him. they say 'oh he killed these kids #but it made him SO SAD :(' unironically. #alphys? also demonized to hell and back. also reduced to a one-dimensional gross weeb cardboard cutout #of her canon self. her job as the royal scientist is so often ignored and when characters in fanworks need something sciencey done #they so often go to gaster or sans and alphys is ignored. #undyne? flanderized to either 'angry buff fish wants to kill you' or 'stupid goofy incompetent lesbian'. no in between
