#im never leaving the comfort of this!

[niishi]

I'm editing a video and.... I never noticed this but?? the table cloth is only at one end of the table??? so they either only put it on that end and purposefully sat Norton on the other side to discriminate against him&manipulate him, or, they set it like this bc it'd just be him&Alice at breakfast and they intended to have them sit across from each other but nortons anti social weird ass grabbed his shit and went to the opposite end so he didn't have to sit by her...

#I'm leaning more towards this being nortons decision but also???? #but also?? if orpheus told him to come here to kill alice... #maybe he had this set up to manipulate and trigger and incentivize norton #bc norts letter about this is him stressing about killing her and trying to convince himself she deserves it #so orphy sets this up to manipulate them both #nortons pov is “im being treated like poor scum still. not deserving of a good meal nice white table cloth or to sit close to upper class” #alices pov is “this guy is rude and purposefully avoiding me and is scary” #and then she leaves and nortons left to think its bc of him and his uncivilized low class status #so hes got even more of a reason to dislike her to hekp him convince himself to kill her #or simply he just is anti social and weird and wanted to avoid her and not interact bc of his hit job #both scenarios make sense #anyways what an intentional detail #norton campbell #alice deross #identity v #im sure other ppl noticed this i just never did until now #also maybe he just didnt feel comfortable with the nice table set up #and offer of nice food #like he couldve just been generally untrustworthy and chose to not take advantage of the offerings #he didn't want to dirty their nice white table cloth #he didnt want to ask for better food than hes used to #didnt want to take their “charity” or “pity” #but also nortons such an actor... he KNOWS you get more bees with honey #and he knows when to bring that out... his bosses love him for a reason #benny believed his sweet lies for a reason #norton can act in ways that benefit him if he wants to #but when he does its usually the long con type acting #him showing up early in the mines got him positive views from his bosses and also gave him the alibi he needed #for blowing up his coworkers. “why were u there before everyone else?” “im always there before everyone else” #workin at the hospice got him seen as kind&he used that to manipulate benny.. nortons clever if hes acting this way its for a reason

You talked a little while ago about why you don't think Shidou would make a good father to Amane (agreed) and proposed the idea of Mahiru adopting Amane. That's cute but I want to tell you about my post-MILGRAM headcanon:

Amane joins the Kajiyamas

Not Fuuta specifically adopting her, but like him taking her back to his family's house. I'm sure they'd have a spare room

I think people don't think about Fuuta's homelife much, or if they do they take Fuuta's one interrogation question where he calls his dad an old fogey and assume its like, abusive

And don't get me wrong, I don't think the Kajiyama household are perfect. Fuuta' beautician sister surely hasn't helped when it comes to Fuuta's body image issues and I'm betting they're all a bunch of tsunderes too embarrassed to say they love each other

But in a series where most of the abused characters are still convinced their abuser loved them/acted out of love. Seeing a guy not be afraid to call his dad a loser is almost a green flag

I think it'd be good for Amane to not necessarily be adopted as the lone child to a single parent but get to be introduced to a very different style of family unit from her own One where its normal to express different opinions or disagreements or even have arguments and not have it be the end of the world

Amane already has a snarky side to her, I bet it'd flourish in a brash household like the Kajiyama's (or at least how I imagine them to be)

OOHHH wait I love that so much! >:O

I agree -- I never interpreted Fuuta's family as abusive or harmful, just not super close and struggling a bit after his mother left. (And yeah, all as openly emotional as him😭) They seem stable and very capable to taking in a extra, very well-behaved child. Assuming Fuuta is the way he is because of them, that atmosphere of being very honest and forward would work well for her. They say things as they are, little by little pointing out the harmful parts of her worldview. Like you said, none of them make excuses about harmful behavior stemming from love, so she'd get a really healthy dose of truth in that area. She never feels coddled or treated like a baby. They care for her while treating her very maturely.

I absolutely love how well she and Fuuta get along, with that snarky side to her that you mentioned. It would allow her to fit in well in the new household, getting the sense of belonging she'll lose after leaving the cult. Also, seeing how Fuuta and his sister let things slip and aren't perfect sons/daughters, she'll be able to relax about earning a parent's love through perfect behavior. She'll probably stay exactly the same, but her stress about it will fade <3

I doubt Fuuta's father can ever replace the hole she'll have from her own father, but the addition of an older sister will be huge. Amane will never get the feeling her mother is being replaced, but the woman will still fill the gap of the older, same-gender role model she needs. Her beautician job may throw Amane at first (being an indulgence in vanity), but it isn't as in-your-face as other careers. I think she could definitely ease Amane into accepting it, and over time, accepting her own personal "indulgence."

Plus, her moving in would also be really good for Fuuta! I think he'd recognize there's a ton of fun things she missed out on, and that heroic side of him outweighs the part that cringes: he gripes and groans about going to "kid places," but he's always the one to announce "I can't believe you've never been to __, we're going right now!!" This allows him to touch grass leave the house and experience his own life to the fullest. He's able to channel his desire to help society into a healthier outlet. Also, seeing her studying habits and plans for the future might even inspire him to do the same. (might.) He becomes the stereotypical good big brother, though of course he denies it viciously...

I have recently been going insane over their friendship so I'm completely taken with this idea OUGH thank you for telling me ;-----;

#milgram #amane momose #fuuta kajiyama #i am going to think about this nonstop now 😭✨ #ive literally been thinking of how much i love their sibling relationship but didnt consider them becoming Actual siblings ;---; #my heart... #the way i interpret the family theyd be able to give her a good mix of treating her like an adult and still giving her the 'childish' care #that she missed out on #and that honesty would just be really healthy for her #she learns not to fear punishment because if someone has a problem with her theyll just say it and move on #she is also a very straightforward person so shed communicate well with all of them #and yeah... i never realized how good an older sister would be for her but thats perfect #also i dont think fuuta is that fucked up lol but it sounds like he has no commitment to school/his future #so once he realizes he wants to help amane and be there for her he really buckles down on everything #if anyone can Fix Him amane can asdfsdfs #now im picturing all the adults scrambling to prepare themselves and trying to figure out if they're in a state to take on a new child #the time comes to leave milgram and they plan this whole speech to ask amane who she'd feel most comfortable living with and all this stuff #then they spot her walking away with fuuta while hes actively trying to get her to stop following him 💀💀💀 #ask #rose posts

The Great Gatsby AU;

After Jake married to son of a rich (old money) family, he and his husband live in a lovely villa nearby the sea and things are alright, they even have a little girl too until there's rumours about 'Rooster', a mysterious wealthy man and his fancy parties, it's like big carnivals and he hosts almost every people. He lives in a lovely mansion on the other side of the seashore right in front of Jake's house. One day they receive a formal invitation from Rooster (though Jake's husband doesn't like to go) so it's how Jake meets Bradley again💗 it's the beginning of their secret meetings and Bradley keeps asking Jake to leave 'that man' and live with Bradley. Bradley stops all those parties even fires his housekeepers and servants only because of Jake who wants to keep it secret between them..

It goes on and on for few weeks until Bradley buys Jake a lovely ring decorated by a green-blue gem💚 and purposes to him 'stay with me forever Jake, I love you'. Jake panics, says he needs time and leaves Bradley that night..

Two days passes when Jake gets a phone call, having bad news of Mr. Bradshaw badly injured in car accident and he may won't make it. Jake has a fight with his husband (he found out about him and Bradley) but he doesn't go to see Bradley at hospital..

#angst warning! but you can imagine the ending however you want to :> #hangster #sereshaw #I mean in my opinion he'll die at the end.. #and Jake never went to see him in hospital #but in another world he leaves his husband. takes his daughter with him and goes to live with Bradley #'Bradley.. rich people won't marry poor soldiers..' #yeah Brad was in war just like Great Gatsby book #everything is the same just like the book #it was in my draft for a month and was chewing on me so yeah.. i finally posted it 'shrugs' #jake hangman seresin #bradley rooster bradshaw #hangman x rooster #its my comfort ship im sorry for this sad au :(💔 #i just needed to get it out of my mind jxgsfs tho ending is open! :) so something good happens at the end.

Imagining your f/o hugging you tightly while gently caressing your hair and reassuring you by telling you things like “I’m here,” and “I’ve got you,” whenever you’re going through a really tough time is self care

like seriously whatever you do dont think about the captain and that story about someone calling into gay bars and not saying anything, just listening to queer people living and laughing and having fun. definitely don't think about the captain doing that. haha.

#both during his life and in death #i just looked it up and the 1930s british queer scene was beautiful like jazz age stuff #the idea of the captain just discretely privately calling into places he's heard rumored to be queer #just to listen to the saxophone over the static of the telephone and know that there were gay people living and loving somewhere #and then to think about him missing that EVEN MORE in death because now he cant LEAVE #he cant hear rumors from people he cant call in #imagine the favors he'd have to owe julian to dial a number and let cap listen to the receiver without knowing what it is #like of course julian wants to know and he pesters him. but when cap is Deadly Serious and scared and sad. #a face julian's never seen. he winds his jokes down and agrees to do it #making cap think it was his idea- 'a bit of charity for the old walrus then'- instead of a deep understanding and love #and since its been decades of course the number he calls isnt a gay club anymore. maybe it doesnt even connect #and it breaks his heart and it takes him another decade to gather intel and the nerve to ask julian again #but when he does he finally gets a place and the phone quality is INCREDIBLE he can hear so much #he can hear people and their upbeat music and their laughter and their love #and he cries #and if julian sees it and pretends not to then its so that he can have the blackmail later thank you for asking #anyway im making myself emotional #bbc ghosts #EDIT Becuase then when julian overhears he tries subtly to make the captain feel more comfortable #bc julian is an asshole but he's not homophobic i mean he fucks everyone #so he tries to pepper in more stories about men but that just makes cap uncomfortable #and hes frustrated bc he cant think of anything else to do other than flirt with him but thats a bad idea #but then he remembers that he went to bars and places and maybe he'll like that #so he 'accidentally' dials some clubs he knows were cool and leaves the phone off the receiver for cap to find #and cap just gives him a curt nod and a clearing of his throat and they Dont Talk about it but they Know

[churro-on-a-unicycle]

oh the woes of having so many cool fic ideas and lacking the ability to actually write any of them

#if i could pay someone to write my ina3 au for me i absolutely would I'm going stir crazy #or an au where shirou and atsuya remained a system #or an ares au that didn't add a bajilion new teams and characters and only stuck with the three new ones and actually utilized all of raimon #see what i mean with having so many fic ideas im a caged animal #i fear im gonna have to make a long form comic for the max au I HAVE NEVER MADE A COMIC BEFORE.. #AUGGHH I DON'T WANNA LEAVE MY COMFORT ZONEEE #sorry for rambling so much in the tags #churro chats

[queenie-blackthorn]

Man, am I stoked Christmas is over

#shout out to my brother for leaving almost the entirety of the gifting for the family up to me without saying anything to me about it #thus putting me in the awkward position of having to reassure my mom because she's feeling bad 'for me' #which is the position that i'm frequently in with her since im constantly having to give her money ill never see again #and bail her out of her bad decisions #and she feels bad about it and then i end up somehow having to also comfort her over? #anyway what i really want for Christmas is to not have to shoulder everything for everyone

[lesbiansanemi]

Do you think if I wish hard enough my mom will get electrocuted by a string of Christmas lights and just go up in a cloud of smoke. It’d be a Christmas miracle

#I’m not even DOWN THERE YET and I want to fucking KILL HER #I have to work Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas. I live four hours away from my family #I told her this MANY TIMES I said I’ll drive down after work on Christmas Eve be there Christmas morning but I need to leave by 3-4 to get #home at a reasonable hour so I can have time to unpack/catch up on a couple days of chores/get plenty of sleep #she called me last night and told me she didn’t schedule Christmas stuff until SIX PM #and when I said why tf did you do that I’m not staying that late #she got mad and upset and was like ‘it’s the only time everyone is free :(‘ #BUT THEN proceeded to tell me we were having lunch with her HUSBAND’S family at noon #(ppl I am not close with never have been literally don’t talk to) #and everyone I know is like ‘just leave when you said you were going to anyways’ #and like yeah I could but then my family is gonna be ENRAGED that I didn’t do Christmas stuff with them #and they’re like ‘well explain that your mom didnt listen to when you said you needed to leave’ #but the thing is. no matter what. they’re going to take her side #I should sacrifice my time and comfort to spend time with them because they’re FAMILY #never mind that literally not a SINGLE ONE OF THEM has EVER come up to visit me #IM always expected to drive down there. but that sacrifice doesn’t count it’s not good enough #but if I stay that late I won’t be getting home until AT LEAST midnight or later #cuz my family has no fucking concept of time so if it starts at six that means it doesn’t ACTUALLY start until 7 so most of them might be #there by 8 so I’ll be expected to stay until at least 10 to sufficiently catch up with all of them #I’m going to scream I’m going to cry #if I leave early I’m the awful ungrateful terrible bitch who never comes to see any of them #but none of them could adjust their days by just a few hours to see me before I needed to leave #FOR MY FUCKING JOB !!!!!!!! SOMETHING COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL #and like the thing is. my piece of shit manipulative bitch mother #I KNOW she did this on purpose #I know she didn’t plan this until six to FORCE me to stay longer because she was mad I wasn’t staying long #(again… because of work… something I can’t control) #so she’s orchestrated this to put me in this position #where I have to suck it up and stay and be exhausted and have tired migraines for a week cuz I get only a couple hours of sleep and then #or leave and make everyone pissed. I hate her so FUCKING much

Since my mental health has been getting so much better lately, I'm honestly super excited for 2024. I'm not gonna prematurely say "2024 is my year" but I'm definitely excited to see where I'm going from here, since it definitely seems like there's nowhere to go but up.

#simon says #I'm absolutely being a little chattier here but i dont care #just giving a general update #turns out your mental health improves when you quit an addiction and focus on your mental health #and it also turns out that your mental health improves when you take the time to be kind to yourself and learn new things #anyways i really hope I can get some work done on my creative projects this year #but I only have 1 new years resolution #soup quest #it's where I try a bunch of new soups I never had before #try some new stuff and get out of my comfort zone... but like with soup #microdosing leaving the comfort zone via soup quest so I can get that practice in with more important learning moments #but yeah there's the update #im probably gonna post on patreon soon #but for now im just gonna listen to music and chill #good night tumblrinas

You should never feel dread about intimacy. It should be a pain-free and enjoyable thing. You should feel held by your partner. Your partner should defend you to others and make you feel wanted, in many more ways than just sexually. If this clicks with you, i encourage you to leave. Heartbreak and being alone is sad, but it's better than bad.

#i feel like too many people taking dating way too seriously. #if things are bad and youre not comfortable or happy #and if you do indeed try to voice yourself and address things. to not be heard or understood. or respected. LEAVE leave leave #leeeavvvveeeeee regain confidence recognize your charming character qualities take care of yourself. #you should never ever ever put up with feeling scared in the bedroom #because apologies cannot fix that level of trust breaking #p #yeah i slept through therapy yeahh im binge drinking again lmfaooo. love yourself because i don't love myself. #OH a liar is something we don't entertain. #if youre partner is a liar ESPECIALLY a pathological one RUNNNN AWAY #wrong your oh look i picked up a bad habit lmfao. god. have enough self love and worth to date someone whos fucking literate. #feeling [REDACTED] Today may record vocals for my friends album later

Okay important and genuine message from me. I'm not much or often a poster on timblr but if I can give a sincere message. It's to have varied interests. Be into multiple things at once. It doesn't have to be the same intensity for all of them or level of interest or whatever. Hell not all of it has to be good. Just have multiple things to look forward to and care about

#poke post #was watching a long ass video essay recently #n it finally mqde smth click for me coz like #one of the most miserable times in my life was when i was in the ds/mp era #because it and associated content creators were all i was into! so when shit was hitting the fan a long long time before i left #i was left in just the worst relationship to what was to be a comfort #and now fast forward a few years and. its like. im reading books. im going outside. im playing games. im drawing things. i curate my time #online very scrupulous because if i dont its easy to end up sad #which for me was starting to happen w/ q/s/mp #and so i was able to leave #because i have friends and shit outside of it and things i can talk about other then it #and its so freeing #which is to say. just. try to carve out time for more then one interest or thing at a time if you can #there are things you can do!! look up top 10 books in a genre!! order them off a library!! log off your socmeds for a while!! fuck!! #its not easy but its so worth it i promise it is. #+ also moreover please always remember my friends you are never obligated to engage in things if they make you unhappy. its always okay #to check and see if something brings you more joy then discomfort #take care everyone take care of yourselves #no one else can do it for you #anyway i will now go back to. my book :3 ive been reading the g/olden compass. havent finished yet so no spoilers #feel free to ask me about it ill probably get to it tmrw #also some things im looking forward to: #more on/e piece more wi/tch hat a/tieler ram the next stream of this small streamer ive been into #the next novel by this mid author i liked as a kid- #the next ep of du/nmeshi anime #and more and more #and sometimes i forget to have a thing to look forward to #and must find something new again again #its worth it #also yea no this is incoherent hope someone gets smth out of it tho

thinking again abt how my output of art from 2016? til this year was...abysmal

like i had my periods of time i drew a bunch of stuff, but then i'd go cold/dry again

and how when i said i was gonna post all my stuff here that one anon was basically like isnt that gonna be a LOT?? but no :sob emoji: it wasnt a lot at all...

#txt #like i said then tho i did leave out some periods of time like #art of some charas #and like my ovw fandom experience for another example #so there IS a bit more than ive posted that exists #but not much #2021/2022 was especially bad #reaaallyyy bad #i had months of time where i hated drawing HATEd it #thought id never wanna do it again #luckily that wasnt true tho #but i still feel like im so behind in growth compared to other ppl bc of how little i drew and even when i drew i didnt push myself bc it #was hard enough to just draw normal much less try to learn new things and get out of my comfort zones #i was never a super strong artist not in a like oh woe is me boohoo i suck way #just stating a fact #but i at least felt like i kept up with my peers #now i do NOT feel that way anymore lol
