Do you know the tiktok version of "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon? The first time I heard it I was reading Headstrong Like Us by Krista and Becca Richie and for me it was like hearing Farrow and Maximoff trying to calm Ripley down the first few days…

really love characters who have varied panic responses. kirk stating himself that he does not panic outright, externally, not in high-stress dangerous situations, but instead becomes tense and level like a wound string, on-guard: mostly because his role as captain necessitates that he maintain level rationality even when facing potential death as his training as 'the guy who tells you what to do when shit hits the fan' requires, but also because his childhood experiences taught him early that drowning in the desperate haziness of panic won't help you survive. especially as kirk already follows his intuition so deeply. he learned to grasp and contort the feeling. spock is the main person who represses his emotions, of course, but kirk does it to those deep-set, personal ones (this includes how he doesn't reveal anything truly personal about himself willingly 90% of the time, only what others already know/shallow anecdotes) in a much more subtle way that's really interesting to me. certified expert at avoiding the subject as long as he isnt caught out on the lie. professional bluffer.
in terms of past or parents we dont know much!!! hes known as the heart-on-his-sleeve guy!!! like yes he yells, he gets irritated, excited, hes a whirlwind of quick-thinking and plans and intuition, he goes out of his way to connect with his crew and shows it, when he puts on a little act or bluff he puts his heart into it and clearly enjoys the dramatics so much, at times he wears his heart on his sleeve, he laughs openly and is honest to spock about what he means to him, he's very sun-coded to me in a burning, passionate way, always intertwined with the stars and seeking them out, but when it comes to genuine deep-set turmoil? we dont actually know all that much about him??? hes so full of emotion and character (i love fics where spock characterises jim's mind/bond as a whirl of colour and sensations, hes a quick thinker!!! intuitive!! lively!!!) and yet its still so outwardly surface level. tarsus iv gets mentioned like twice? so especially here where kirk gets briefly jumpscared by the creature, because like:
Tumblr media
its subtle but his eyes. his eyesss!!!!! kirk commands with his emotions but there's always some sort of level of control to it, or he transforms them into something that spurs on others or uses them to ascertain a goal: seeing unguarded fear/distress in his eyes even if its faint and brief (in this instance) makes me go insane every single time. like!!! its such a small moment!!! he isnt even panicking!!! really, he just got jumpscared!!! its insignificant!!!!!!! but seeing a two-second flash of actual, naked apprehension is just...oughhh,,,,,,,,,
oh god, and dont even get me started on the galileo seven episode where he assumes a tense level-headedness throughout the whole thing, irritated and apprehensive but not panicking, making sure he maintains intelligent rationality, even when he has to leave them behind, but when spock and the crew are confirmed safe and the bridge is occupied the camera pans to him and his eyes look like they're fucking watering and he's so achingly relieved. don't even talk to me. im. fuck.
he shows so so much but at the same time reveals so little.

Imo Jason is “irredeemable” by default because I don’t see what he needs redemption from.
#I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but joining this fandom made me fucking hate the word ‘redemption’#no person I’ve seen who is in love with the concept knows the who what where when why or how it should work in a story#apparently it isn’t just themes and tropes anymore people don’t understand the proper use of the word ‘villain’#kelseethe#also hilarious: Jason should recieve sensitivity training HR style from Bruce ‘I’m the government and children are my cronies’ wayne#if Jasons headstrong/‘answers to no one’ attitude towards vigilantism is what makes people think he's villainous#I hate to be a broken record but the baddie you’re describing is Bruce#nobody thinks he’s a villain for only trusting in his own methods/self and repeatedly isolating himself#and on top of that gaslighting and hurting people around him in attempts to do what HE **thinks** is the right thing#you people always thought *him* heroic not problematic for all these traits#the only difference is Jason isn’t psychologically abusive & controlling#yet he’s still the bad guy just cause he liberally kills folks in the crime business.#l'd argue goth ham war is the b*tman story to remind you of everything that makes Bruce authentically himself#Idk how to tell you that Bruce mentally compromising/crippling his son in a twisted attempt to ‘save him from himself’#is perfectly in line with slitting the same son’s throat because he couldn’t stand to see him avenge his own killer#and yk what a redemption arc could be interesting for someone like Bruce#because he rarely questions or doubts his choices esp wrt Jason. no matter how morally dubious they may be#I think it would be quite fun to witness his extremely restricted worldview be challenged/shattered he deserves that humbling experience

Are you slowly going insane over your OWN ocs?
No, I've been infected by brainworms the entire time. Nothing slow about it.
But honestly, no... It's not really about my characters to me. I love my characters, of course, and I love telling stories, and I hope to keep making art of my characters every day until I die.
But it's not about them! They're not REALLY what I love, what I love is people! And I hope I can leave the world with a hundred different love letters so my readers can feel how much I love them for even one day longer than I am here.
My characters are a conduit through which I can give that to people. I want nothing more than to make someone feel a little more loved, a little more seen, and a little less alone. And my characters are the best way I know how to do that.
So for that, they're incredibly important to me... But they're not for me. They're for you!
So I hope you enjoy them
and I hope you can feel that I love you through them.

Can you believe that the 2nd most important person to the story BARELY had ANY screen time of his blackout. WE SAW HIS BLACKOUT 3 WHOLE TIMES. NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO DISSECT HIS GAY TRAUMATIZED BRAIN!
#pacing around the room crawling on all fours admiring the yellow wallpaper#we know it’s a bug we know his parents were entemologists we KNOW#that his parents jobs uprooted him from a young age and never had him learn social skills we KNOW that the job in south america#cost them their lives and caused Takayama to become what he is and we KNOW that certain bugs can fly and#that bugs are misunderstood. most people see bugs and freak out and you have to be patient and learn to like them#Takayamas blackouts always take up space and are ‘unsightly’ or mutated in some way#they’re impulsive and headstrong and lean with force and logic not heart#one of the bugs chanted ‘kill’ like it was the only word it knew. all Takayama ever did was fight and kill the trauma inside of him#and NEVER addressed it. kill the emotions kill the trauma kill the guilt#the second blackout was a mosquito a creature that takes blood and can cause malaria#the eyes VERY IMPORTANT were the same eye rings as to which seraphs get#tosses everything on the floor and madly trying to scramble up a connection#anyways. Takayama has done everything he could intentionally or not to kill anything human within him. he doesn’t know what hes doing or#who or what he is and it’s scary. he fails to save people over and over and he thinks he’s unsalvagable.#the real reason he reached out to the bird club was because he was lonely. so crushingly lonely. he can fight and kick the trauma#all he wants but at the end of the day hes the same kid he was the day his parents died and he became a seraphim#and maybe that’s why the third blackout is when he was about to finally meet eva. she is the only proof that he is real#eva is the only proof that takayama was once a kid. the only reminder#eva and Takayama’s relationship is weird but to me it I would say to Takayama Eva is like a mother to him#and eva used him from the start.#idk Takayama makes me lose my mind. have u ever considered how takayama#views himself as a bug. and the fact that bugs have never bothered karasuma#karasuma knows what Takayama is like but Karasuma has seen all of Takayama and still loves him#anyways how are YOU guys I wrote this while in horrible stomach pain.#birdmen#takayama sou

"every doctor who fan has that one thing that they wish would happen that, depsite the fan base being so large, no one else has seemingly also ever wanted"
Okay, so is it just me or are there any other people out there who desperately wish that they would use/even just acknowledge the fact that, y'know, Ace still has a whole-ass dying cheetah planet in her mind, or am I the only one?

I’m usually a top!Nancy bottom!Robin believer, but there’s something about Nancy who’s insecure and guilt-ridden (believing she kills or hurts everyone she loves) forcing herself to be strong and composed for the group in the face of danger but being able to relinquish control to Robin, who slowly starts to see straight through her (being familiar with masking) and happily takes care of her.
Personally I never cared about top or bottom labels in fandom spaces (no offense at all anon.)
But also I think the reason I don't connect with these terms is because fandom has lost the meaning of them.
These terms should be used to refer to domineering presentation, or lack there of, in a sexual encounter.
Now, I'm not saying it's a wrong analysis; but simply because someone is emotionally distraught or distressed it doesn't mean they're a bottom. Being in a more sensitive state outside of sex does not automatically mean someone is submissive in sex ergo a bottom.
This is one of those situations where people lost the true meaning of a word because fandom has flooded it on the internet in the wrong connotation. (Like I said no offense and not to sound pretentious and take away from your ask but those are my thoughts as I see fit)

So @savvysass and I were talking last night and now inquiring minds need to know:
If you’re wondering where I personally landed, it was that Joel took away his privileges…mostly because the idea of Tommy specifically teaching Ellie punk/emo songs that were popular in the 90s/00s that he knows Joel absolutely hates is incredibly amusing to me.
(We were discussing it in the context of the show, but if you’re thinking about the game, there’s a vague and not really spoilery TLOU 2 Note under the cut.)
I’m aware it’s lightly referenced in the game—Joel’s reaction just implies he doesn’t like Tommy having the guitar in his hands, not why. Is it because he can’t play, because he’s bad at it, or because Joel hates his music? He just sort of strums at the guitar with weak strings…so it’s up to us.

excuse the mess im cleaning out our closet lmao but here are some more of my favorite stuffed animals as a kid that ive posted about for tag games before (and some that i haven’t)!
Tumblr media
from left to right: curly the tiger, washington dc bear (“washy” for short), lalox the fox, pj the pig, vivian the lion (yes she’s nala lol), reezy the orca whale, and sneakers the puppy :D
#purrs#assorted fun facts about them: curly and lalox both have extra stitches on their backs where the fabric split apart. washy and lalox both ca#came from claw machine games (washy at a bounce house during my cousins bday party and lalox from the rainforest cafe lmao). washy was my fi#first stuffed animal that i ever really loved and ive had him since i was like 3 i think. sneakers was my favorite in 2nd grade and im#pretty sure i used to bring him to school with me. vivian and curly are both members of 3 sibling families just like mine and their siblings#are owned by my siblings and both curly and vivian were the bossy bratty headstrong sisters among the 3 cubs lol. and i got pj as a free#like little.. condolence / consolation prize from the hospital when i broke my wrist in 3rd grade and i picked him specifically because in#2nd grade my teacher had ‘reading buddies’ that were beanie babies you wuld get to keep on your desk if you were quiet during reading time a#and she had that pig beanie baby and i thought it was so cute and always picked that one and then when i saw pj at the hospital i was like#OMG IT WAS FATE!! and he has been one of my favorite stuffed animals ever since <3#nostalgia#there’s a couple more stuffed animals i found in here that i loved as a kid but they’re kinda on the secondary / tertiary side so maybe I’ll#post about them another time. it would’ve been a lot for one post lol. but im glad i finally get to share these guys bc every time i did a t#tag game about stuffed animals you loved as a kid i got sad bc i was on campus and they were at home. so it’s nice to be where they are hehe#OH AND!!! i forgot this one! reezy has his name because of a jayjay the jet plane episode where jayjay made friends with a butterfly named b#breezy but i was like 3-4 and i couldn’t say breezy correctly so i called him reezy because i loved that episode so much <3
