Danny doesn’t want to stop being Phantom, but he definitely blames having that identity for a lot of problems he faces

Unfortunately, when he complains about those problems to Sam and Tucker, to an outside observer, like Valerie, it sounds like Phantom’s bullying Danny

The next time Phantom goes out on patrol, he has a tough time getting back to the portal to release the ghosts he caught because it appears as tho the Red Huntress is just,, guarding Fentonworks??

#standing there. menacingly #danny phantom #dp #sam manson #danny fenton #tucker foley #valerie gray #I love Valerie #I love how she’s associated with these upbeat yellow and orange colors #and then it goes to intense black and red #and the intense name she gets? #the red huntress #hunt #hunting people (phantom) down #then right back to upbeat orange and yellow the next day #can’t articulate it #just love it #love the color scheme love the personality love the roles she fills #I could go on about how they wasted her potential but they wasted EVERYONE’S potential #just. something about how not intense orange and yellow are y’know?

i only want love triangles if it's whatever fucked up polygon junmo kicheol and euijeong have going on

#the worst of evil #ranting #idk how to articulate how juicy it is #junmo's fierce protectiveness of his wife - he trusts her but can't help his jealousy fear or frustration while trapped in the situation #euijeong hurting but putting her own life on the line worried for her husband while unpacking the memories of her first love #she can't help but sympathize with kicheol and what he's endured; haven't seen much of how she feels rn but it must be c o n f l i c t e d #(not necessarily even in a romantic way but wanting to root for a person chasing their goals who was once so important to you) #(all while grieving her mother without the support of her literal goddamn spouse by her side) #and kicheol. also grieving and trying to establish a place for himself and his crew yet drawn to junmo despite the red flags #his panic and desperation when jungmo bled out on him which must have triggered his own memories of losing taeho #junmo who has every reason to despise kicheol barely concealing his general rage but protects him like it's second nature at every turn #all while conflicted as a bystander to atrocities (and now willfully leaving another cop to die to protect himself his wife and the mission #getting mentally and physically pummeled left and right just bc his superiors demand it from him #all to please euijeong's family by using the promotions to prove himself and get rid of the stigma weighing him down #like !!! #and haven't even touched on kicheol wooing euijeong against his buddy's wishes and in such a pure heart fluttering way #accepting the risk for a second chance to bathe in the bright light she used to shine on his life #OMG AND BIBI'S ENTRANCE!! junmo realizing her interest gives him leverage and agency but struggling to use it to his advantage #it's soooo messy and i'm obsessed #that funeral arc is gonna haunt me for years #as is the tension during the pat down which def was supposed to be like a gang pride/dignity/lack of power against the jp folks thing #also testing their relationship and responsibilites as leader subordinate #but felt charged around whether kicheol would protest or junmo would accept the manhandling in totally different 👀 ways #goddamn i wrote an essay and this doesn't even scratch the surface of the meat of the show #tldr; i have many many feelings and for once the 'love triangle' isn't making me gauge out my own eyeballs #it's about power it's about raising the stakes and revealing things about the characters w/o dominating the plot

Sylvia Legris is a plenty successful poet as is but I do feel that she should have more Tumblr cachet. Like. Locked Tomb girlies look at these bone verses

Details of Articulated Skeletons, c. 1510

Memento marrow. The treacherous thread of the unnamed. The flourish-stripped reunion of broken parts.

The polymathematician (the osteo-horoscopist) plumbs the anonymous bones, the forlorn unspoken-for. Lead white, bianco di piombo, the poisonous orbit. An algebraic

of discrete desecration. Cancellous bone, cortical bone, an innominately rising hip bone. The acrimonious split of the acromion from the scapular spine. Explode the view . . .

Exploit the post-medieval zodiac. A moon-distending thorax; the gibbosity of the humeral head. The anteriorly tilting ascent of the pelvic girdle. False false ribs and the acute

angle of descent of rib one and rib two. Memento mori. Woe betide the Renaissance bonesetter. Bone-beset.

#all of Hideous Hidden is so good but the Midwinter the Cut-Time section is just. i love it SO fucking much #more than i can articulate. you know how it is. read the poetry that's the explanation you get it or you don't #i rank the collections Hideous Hidden > Nerve Squall > Garden Physic > Circuitry of Veins #Nerve Squall you can tell she hasn’t quite hit her style stride yet like she has in Hidden #but i prefer it to Garden Physic just bc aesthetically Garden leans much more heavily on herbalism and the plant organ #than either Nerve Squall or Hidden. and you know me. all organs are good but I prefer the bleeding kind #i am simply not really the intended audience for Circuitry of Veins tho' i do like many bits of it #and i don't have a copy of iridium veins or pneumatic antiphonal yet... but someday... #laurelnose.txt #poetry #(im going to title a MoE fic ‘an algebraic of discrete desecration’ one of these days and itll be about exactly what u might expect)

A thought I had about Pathologic 2 Eva Yan is that she's a physical reflection of the player character's motivations and narrative throughline. This is only a thought (I hesitate to say Theory. You get it) insofar as only Haruspex is out, but with news of Bachelor approaching is worth considering. Pathologic Classic HD Eva is a Utopian, reflective of Bachelor. She remains a Utopian for all three routes, unchanging from an ideological standpoint. In Pathologic 2 Haruspex route, however, she's wildly different; perhaps the character with the biggest redesign, visual and ideologically. But her personality is the same. She's airheaded, spiritual, and incredibly naive. In Pathologic 2 Haruspex, now consider her a reflection of Artemy. Not a friend, but a parallel; a manifestation of his narrative strapping itself to Eva. That leads her to appropriating his culture, donning a facsimile of what herb brides wear and dancing among them despite being wholly and fundamentally at odds with their way of life. But she will not back down, forever determined to join them. She will die in the nocturnal ending, of course. She's not immune. But she's not a tabula rasa. She's not reflecting Artemy's motivations one-to-one, but steeped through what is fundamentally Eva. She's reflecting not only him and his route, but on an in-game AND narrative level, the racism of the town. She's a white lady after all, and there's no nonracist way a white lady can reflect the Indigenous traditions and culture of the Kin. Seeing a glimpse of her redesign for Bachelor route makes me interested in seeing her portrayal in his part. I think she will be different than her portrayal in P2 Haruspex route, and instead be more similar to her Classic HD characterization; rewritten into a reflection of the Bachelor's goals and his story's throughline. I think she will be an earnest sycophant towards him, dreamy and romantic about the capital, or perhaps about death itself. That's certainly in line with her characterization in Classic HD. And then, in a thousand years, we would see how she's portrayed in Changeling's route as a reflection of her ideology. Pathologic 2 Eva is a character not only doomed by the narrative but sculpted by it too. Sculpted by the motivations and ideologies of the PC. On a story level she's a woman who once an idea forms in her head, will follow it to its conclusion without a second thought, dreamy yet adamant in her procession. She embodies the soul of the cathedral, embodies the Utopian ideal! Just as she embodies the holistic methods of the Haruspex, for better or worse. I've spoken of Eva on many different levels of meta here. I don't think it will "be confirmed" in the upcoming P2 Bachelor route that she is wholly shaped by each narrative, but I think it would be interesting if they explore her this way. I would, anyhow.

#Ah! Eva Yan meta analysis- the reason I play pathologic. Or one of them at least. She's my favourite #I hope I've articulated this adequately. I'd love to hear your thoughts #I've a distaste for ''theory'' style discussion. I'd rather discuss interpretation and symbology. Story as story. Etc. Media analysis baby! #So I hope this does not come across as theorycrafting or discussing ''secret meaning'' a la idk. mascot horror #Just portrayal and potential. I'm interested in seeing how it goes #pathologic #eva yan

Been thinking about pacific rim lately and... do pilots know whose memories are whose. Do they ever forget what's theirs and what's not. Does one ever remember and the other doesn't. Like has one of then ever said "on my fifth birthday, my mom-" and without missing a beat the other goes "that's my birthday. On yours-" and the other one just smiles at them.

Where do the lines blur.

#I've been having pacific rim thoughts lately #Because my friend learned that it's my favourite movie #And she said “really? But it's just mechs fighting kaiju” #I just couldn't articulate all the thoughts this site and ao3 has given me about it #How do I explain coherently it's a movie about love #And also how terribly I want to have someone and we know each other so well that the only explanation is that we are mentally melded #She was also surprised when I said you basically have to squint to see any romance in the movie #We were talking about Raleigh and Mako specifically #Like yeah they love each other. But to see it as romantic you really do have to tilt your head a little bit #Not even getting into the little gay scientists lol #pacific rim

Hi!! Hello!! I've just been passively listening to your blog for a bit and I just have to say. auauua you actually giving Nahida the spotlight she deserves is so refreshing! I love Wanderer in all his forms, but the lack of character studies/general brainworms about Nahida is so sad to me D: She's an archon!! You'd think people would talk about her more in the general fandom... Idk, personally, she's a pretty relatable character in the way of having to become an adult for the people around her (in her case, becoming a knowledgeable god despite having the mind of a child for the sages) like!! She is smart, but she is a KID. Haven't a fair number of people experienced that? And justifying the behavior too- like I (personally) think that Nahida tries to make the horrendous behavior of generations of sages seem Less Bad bc 'oh, they were probably so lost without the Greater Lord.. and I wasn't what they were looking for' Because admitting that you were hurt for a reason that was entirely NOT YOUR FAULT actually feels Really Bad. LOCAL BABY GOD IS RELATABLE TO THE MASSES!! (Could be a bad take, I do need to rewatch the Sumeru quests.. it's been so long.. my little guys..) BEFORE I GET TOO SIDETRACKED UH. yeah. Thank you for the Radish Thoughts they are really really appreciated by someone who also thinks Nahida is Pretty Neat!

WTF UR GONNA MAKE ME CRY IM SO GLAD. I love Nahida I’m glad it resonates. Tbh i think that take isn’t bad at all bc I actually also had a similar interpretation of her downplaying her neglect in the same way she downplays her worth as an Archon bc obviously there’s overlap between the two

Assortment of screenshots I feel go along with this , starting with how the Sages’ treatment of her is discussed textually:

When we learn she’s being imprisoned for the first time in the AQ, Nahida’s response is quite literally her justifying why the Sages’ decision makes “rational” sense because (like u said!) she’s not Rukkhadevata and by extension isn’t a “real enough archon”

Nahida internalizes the “my existence has little meaning” to the point she justifies beating herself up as an inferior archon over Dunyazard’s presumed death as “rationally observing the distance between herself and a real archon”:

And also the first thing she does when we set her free is apologize for letting the Sages neglect her. We also get her basically saying she was never angry about what was done to her until she was being rescued:

She goes onto say she’s going to punish the sages harshly, but then it’s noted by multiple characters they think she wasn’t harsh enough with her punishment. Which is a haha aww Nahida doesn’t have it in her to be harsh. But it’s also like haha aww. Nahida doesn’t have it in her to be harsh even to the people who dehumanized her and kept her in a cage for generations Zjsjmxkxjnsj

Nahida as a person seems to be someone who clings to a sense of personal control , my main reasoning for this is it’s directly stated in her character stories the reason she gives up her Gnosis to Dottore for information would be to have more knowledge and therefore control over a situation:

With one Gnosis still in her hands, Nahida could not help but hesitate. She barely knew more about the Gnoses than she knew the "truth" of the world. […] Shaking hands in bargain means an equal compromise for both sides, a far cry from any victory. On the other hand, turning down the bargain indicates a certain type of "ignorance," which, obviously, would more easily invite a loss of control. Thus did the "God of Wisdom" instantly find her answer...

So her rationalizing her own neglect or Anything Bad That Is Done to Her to me is a way of asserting a sense of control over her situation when she has none, just as u said!

#nahida #asks #cool asks #fandomferns #i did not mean to reply to this with a read more length essay but umm ❤️ radish #I also find Nahida relatable but for me primarily it’s just she will say things and it feels very similar to how I articulate or think abou #things. v funny. she is in my Mind #but also yes I love her Rationalization of Trauma coping mechanism #tragic freaking vegetable

I can't relate to the "I hate popular motifs" sentiment... to me it kinda depends on how it's executed I suppose. I still like fucked up deer stuff. and bones stuff. and cannibalism. when it's good.

#it can be bad bc anything can be bad ig #but it's still good when it's good #she says in a well articulated fashion #I love looking at a fucked up deer.... #in this case ig it's kinda like how the internet thinks capybaras are mystical creatures #but to me they're just alright bc I see them irl all the time #the first thing that comes to mind when I see a cute capybara fanart are ticks. and also roadkill </3 #I do like them tho they ARE cute #specially the babies

[hollowisthyname]

ok ok this is probably dumb but i gotta get it out there because i have lots of thoughts and if i don't say them my brain will bother me about it forever so :

earlier today i saw a post about how much darker ride the cyclone could've been- the kids still having their injuries from the fall , having to do the songs and choreography because karnak makes them but having it hurt them and eventually they all just collapse from pain and exaustion- and while that's an amazing concept for a much sadder version and i can tell it would be absolutely DEVASTATING to see performed it also got me thinking about how different that would be from the actual show and the reason they're all there in the first place .

karnak brought them there because , in his own words , he wanted to let them express not who they were perceived to be , but who they dreamt they were . this was his gift to them- "a eulogy" , he says , to these kids unfairly torn from the world before they got a chance to fulfill those dreams . and as he assures ocean after her "catchphrase" , their will is still entirely their own . they choose the songs they sing , not one of them is forced to . he was ready and willing to let ocean concede without singing at all (although i suppose that could've been because he knew she would never go through with it at that point) , and apart from her initial catchphrase , none of the kids object to having some of their moves choreographed . as another post points out , he even lets them do some of their own , unchoreographed , dancing during sugar cube . and all in all , they're happy to have had the chance !! they all get to know each other so much better over the course of the show , and ricky even gets his abilities to walk and speak back so he can better communicate to the others what he wants to say . and of course , penny gets her memory back and is able to live out the rest of her life . it's amazing that even one of them was able to come back like that , and everything that lead to that point helps them all realize things about each other , and life , and death , that they otherwise would never have known .

....i got kinda off topic there . i guess my point is , the "competition" for reincarnation was a gift to the kids , not a curse . it was a way to let them say the things they had always wanted to , and learn lessons they never had the chance to learn in life . to change it to something they were being forced to do , something that was hurting them- that would change the point of the entire show .

ride the cyclone can seem very dark at first- and it is , of course , that is a part of it . but at its core , it's a very optimistic show , and i think that's a big part of what defines it . and karnak , while he can be very sarcastic and mess with the kids (especially ocean , though to be fair she usually deserves it) , is ultimately just .... a lonely guy who knows more than is good for him . and instead of using his power over life and death to manipulate and control the kids for his own entertainment , he gives one of them the chance at life and all of them the chance to express themselves the way they wanted to be seen .

it's optimistic because it says that even though these kids died in a tragic accident , they still have another chance to learn and grow . that's what makes this show what it is , and i love it so damn much . it's hopeful , it what it is , and it's really impressive how they managed to make a story about kids who died in an accident have so much hope ingrained into it . it's contradictory in the most beautiful way , and i wouldn't change it for anything .

#moons monologue #ride the cyclone #ocean o'connell rosenberg #<- i think she deserves to be tagged shes a big part of this #BUT UH SORRY THIS IS SO LONG ?? I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS #i copy pasted this from my notes app it took up four and a half pages #i didnt even know there WERE pages until now #and all of this is not to say the angst ideas r bad !!!! #i love angst and i agree this show is like . prime material for it #i just feel like sometimes we lose sight of the whole point of the show #rtc is a show about hope !! how even in the shittiest possible situation good things can still happen !!!!! #im not articulating it well i think but i hope u get what i mean #i love this show and its optimism so much #jane/penny's story especially .... gives me hope for my own life yknow ? #i am gonna sleep now im so tired #night night rtc fandom i hope u enjoy my long rambling thoughts #long post

i think one thing i'm never gonna get over about the movie is that the memorial wall full of art — some of the drawings are of shadow nimona. i can't get screenshots right now but like. shadow nimona smiling. beaming. getting hearts and smiles and hugs, from the kids, from other shadow creatures. it's just. it's so sweet. like it's the kids who drew that taking all that raw hurt and vulnerability from the final act and giving it the hug and empathy and solidarity it needed. and it's like, look at nimona's line after the kwispy incident, look at the cereal ad, the board game billboard; look at gloreth being taught hate, and then look at the drawings. and i just lose it every time i think about it

#nimona #it's 3am so idk if im making any sense but #all this abt the memorial wall #plus nimona doing more shapeshifting outside of combat and crimes #nimona is a girl and a boy and a rhino and a bird and an ostrich and a whale and - in her words - a lot of things #she is also the shadow creature #and just seeing that acknowledged w the memorial drawings…. #it's acknowledging all the parts of nimona. every one you can reach. this is her and this is also her and this is also her #and all those parts deserve love too #idk i just like seeing the movie i guess 'normalize???' (for lack of a better term) nimona's shapeshifting #like doing it without objective purpose or functionality or combat or what have you #just chilling on the train eating a pizza. as a gorilla. because those are her vibes right now! #scurrying thru the trash as a cat because. why not. she couldve been a racoon or a rat or anything else but she's a cat. because she is #and then i think about how kids are getting to see this movie and i just feel so much *hope* #im not good at articulating myself sorry i hope this made sense

U mean U and the others (unholy trinity of Tsaritsa simps) did drag me down a wormhole of oc-ing an existing character with lore and yet still making it adapt to your fic.

in my defense her lore is extremely vague descriptions by other people (who may be biased. staring directly at childe. staring very hard at childe.) and like. the gem description im just working with what i got. also i don't trust hoyo to write my wife correctly so as far im concerned anything they write abt her isn't canon until i approve it /j

#asks #the-white-void #img block #my tsaritsa is a vague vision in my head i cannot properly articulate and no amount of words can properly explain how much i think abt her #the goddess of love who feels no love for her people just as they feel no love for her. #there is an inherit tragedy in her refusal of the aspect she originally represented because she knows she must #teyvat is simply a tragedy and she is playing her part. #there is simply smth so chefs kiss abt the imagery of a woman so gentle and full of love being so cold #she is gentle at her core but shes had to bury it so deep ppl have already forgotten what that was like. all they remember is the cold #its like. outwardly she looks elegent and gentle. a fitting vessel for a goddess of love #but her eyes are devoid of love. devoid of sympathy. devoid of anything but a cold glare just like the element she embodies. #i need that dead eyed look like childe. absolutely blank. #absolutely deadpan voice. monotone and lifeless just like her nation #I COULD TLAK SM ABT TSARITSA IMAGERY AND THE CONTRAST BETWEEN GODDESS OF LOVE VS CRYO ARCHON IT DRIVES ME NUTS #I'm so normal abt hrr i need 2 be put down ill shut up now #never give me the opportunity to speak abt her i wont stop talking #I'm hitting bones over the head w a rock ITS HER FAULT IF SHE DIDNT WRITE TSARITSA THAT ONE TIME ID BE NORMAL???? /j /lh #i could also talk abt childe + tsaritsa bc they make me feral but this is goingon to long i need 2 be put doen

weird ask but what. do the arakawa family smell like. like what perfumes do they use/do they stink of cigarettes/etc.

arakawa = the scent of cigarette smoke and bourbon does well to equalize the profile of oud wood, not allowing the sweet smell to overpower his mysterious profile. whatever does seep through, you're more likely to catch the more woody, tangy notes- though people who stay around long enough recognize that sweet, nutmeg smell first

sawashiro = legally have to say he smells like a smokey leather couch cause of his 2019 outfit and for the occasional cig or two he'll have BUT as for colognes, definitely something akin to masato where it's more on the down-low as far as scent impressions go. unlike masato though, it's nothing superbly complex and isn't trying to invite anyone to stay and compliment the profile. besides the leather, theres a deep, earthy smell- but stay around long enough, and you might catch a speck of rose

ichiban = definitely tried to find a dupe for arakawa's cologne, though our boy's on a budget: cause'a that, he's got a preference for more woody colognes, wearing a sweet patchouli cologne that possesses an undertone of orange. luckily, the help of cigarette smoke and shea butter helps dilute the potency of his cologne

masato = definitely isn't shy about buying something pricey, and there's payoff for it. leans towards more extravagant fragrances, a castoreum and leather blend being his usual wear. his cologne isn't overly strong, yet it's present enough to make you want to linger to catch it. the only one on this list to not smell like smoke in the slightest

aoki = wears abundantly brighter and more inviting colognes. opposed to harsh, mysterious smells he'll wear the likes of cedarwood. there's still notes of leather to his profile, though. it's just barely masked by the cedar

mitsu = if we're talkin' the 90's, then nothing especially of note. doesn't care too much about colognes (or can even really afford anything especially nice), and he doesn't pay any real attention to deo and body/hair wash scents. legally has to smell a bit of cigarette smoke on account of hangin with people who smoke, but i couldnt tell you if he smokes himself or not. fast forward to 2019, something about him's telling me he'd wear some kind of aquatic cologne- like sage and sea salt..

#snap chats #asks i spend all morning on because i have more opinions about how people smell than any normal person should #I JUST GET TOO INTO IT WHEN IT COMES TO SMELLS AND COLOGNES i like thinking about what people smell like ☠️ #its cause when i was a kid every time i hugged my dad id get fuckin smacked in the face with whatever cologne he was wearing #it's a comfort thing probably. that's the root of my cologne obsession see im self aware. i need help #anyway there's a jo malone joke to make here but i cant articulate it so just imagine i did #on that note though my mom loves jo malone. thats it thats the tag im not gonna act lke jo malone doesnt have great fragrances #ill be a hater bout anything else my mom likes (no i wont she also likes elephants) but malone's got my wallet #not PERSONALLY im still getting through a cologne my dad got me for christmas but yk. if i ever feel like burning my wallet then sure

Catherine Zeta Jones with a sword Taissa! Oh goodness, I would love to hear every single one of your one-sentence movie reviews by Van.

lololol, just a lesbian coming at every movie with a critical gay eye

"It's about girl soccer players and they don't kiss, somehow??"

"It's Nicole Kidman on top of an ELEPHANT, DUDE."

"SANDY DOES MAGIC."

#ask #i do love the idea of van articulating every plot point and thematic element pre-crash #and post-crash she's just reduced to a single sentence summary #and by love i mean it hurts my soul #i do firmly believe van stitches herself back into the world movie-first #like i think that's how she manages to slowly beat back the trauma and reintegrate #so this would be a good start. one sentence at a time. one very gay sentence

I would argue that to my recollection Murderbot in fact does not do a single on-page murder until Network Effect.  “These people are actively trying to kill me so I have to kill them back to protect myself/my clients/my friends” doesn’t count as “murder.”  Only in NE does it join its noble predecessors GLaDOS, Hera, and Breq in Actual Revenge Murder

#one of the things that makes me emotional about Murderbot is how consistently and explicitly non-revengey it is #Revenge does not drive it. It is not out for revenge #mostly it just wants to live its life and be left alone and for the people who hurt and abused it to not be able to hurt it anymore #and once it gets free it doesn't ever seek out anyone who hurt it - individually or structurally - for revenge #It just wants to live its life. As it says to Gurathin: revenge is a stupid human way to think about it #(paraphrased) #It just... I don't know how to articulate it which is why this is in the tags and not a real meta post but. It doesn't want revenge! #It just wants to be free and safe and for the people it cares about to be safe and for the company to not be anywhere near it anymore #as distinctly opposed to Hera who tried to kill Hilbert after his betrayal at her first opportunity #It was partially preemptive defense - don't know what else he can do - but Minkowski considered him pretty neutralized as a threat #Hera wanted him dead. Hera wanted to kill him for what he did to her #(and she is VALID I love her) #Like. It is sort of implied that Hera didn't fully understand death at the time? She died and then came back broken and in pain #She wanted to do the same to Hilbert #She's noticeably less enthusiastic about killing after Maxwell and Hilbert's actual deaths #GLaDOS meanwhile was Caroline who got brain-uploaded to a computer as she begged Cave Johnson to stop #and so the moment she got control of the facility she killed everyone in the whole company who let that happen to her #this is why she's valid #Breq is the greatest and I love her #that was an existing tag. Amazing #Breq is setting off to kill the space emperor less from a stance of political responsibility or principles but more because Anaander ordered #her favorite human's death #which is funny because it's for Awn but it's also kind of framed as a pain against /her/ too #(by funny I mean sad) #Whereas when Murderbot really and finally leans into Revenge Murder. It's for ART. What people do against itself isn't really worth resent #But these people killed ART #and that's what really sparks a murder rampage #it's interesting characterization for everybody really #The Murderbot Diaries

thinking just a bit too hard about how the added depth given to tifa and aerith's friendship only increases the weight threatening to crush tifa after the forgotten capital, she already had so much to carry on her weary shoulders, she's going to have to carry even more when mideel happens, and it doesn't even stop after meteorfall, ohg od oh i love her so much i

SO OFTEN #these two girls mean the world to me and i will not let you reduce them to love interest rivals #when tifa ran over to aerith's body i think everyone in the world heard my heart shattering into dust #these thoughts are a bit disjointed and don't articulate well what i mean but god. god. i am thinking about her today

I can't believe my baba is pulling a mama thing and he's trying to talk with me about love and my ex boyfriend. where are the racist stereotypes about muslim fathers when I need them

#this is.................... #FACT IS I'M HEARTBROKEN BUT NOT TO THAT EXTENT #IT'S OKAY I'M FINE #he's so sweet mashallah he's making atay now he's talking about how I HAVE TO DEMAND RESPECT FROM MEN #the thing is my mama would have told me the same as the video from yesterday ckdsjhagf #she wouldn't have gone there she would have just said: stop hala who's this idiot the King???? fkjdhsga #“ who is he hakim ziyech ” she said that once <3 #she would have just gone the moroccan mama way. #and my baba is here MAKING PHILOSOPHY HELPPPPPPP???? #he's so sweet my baba. like he's not sure how to articulate stuff but he's doing it he's the sweetest man in the world to me #sometimes I think the he feels like he has to be a mama too you know? #cause as much as my mama was the typical moroccan mama #mamas are mamas. they know what to say and you open up to them #and he tries that. AND HE ALSO TOLD MY BROTHER #cause my brother invited me to have dinner with them 3 times this week. khoya...i love them :(
