#incapable of handling this

[scribefindegil]

people will really look at a series with a two-book-long subplot about the protagonist being desperate for physical affection but unable to access it because the only option she feels is available to her is sexual which she doesn't want, which finally resolves with her friend starting to platonically share a bed with her in a relationship that everyone involved and their spaceship explicitly states on multiple occasions is not sexual . . .

and then go "okay but what if they had sex anyway?"

#i open the Radch ao3 tag #i hiss like an angry snake #i close the Radch ao3 tag #some people are just so utterly incapable of handling a character who doesn't want sex #i know i know i shouldn't be surprised but it would be so nice if people respected an ace character's identity just ONCE #(also the word 'friend' is. insufficient. to describe Seivarden and Breq's whole Thing #but if i tried to explain it would take over the whole post) #ace stuff

Ok so I have not seen the latest Helluva Boss episode yet but apparently, people are saying that Viv created a character who is meant to be representing some people who criticize the show which...wow, is Viv really that incapable of taking criticism to the point she has to stoop this low? Like sometimes when the criticism is invalid sure, but HB has gotten valid criticism from people and unless you can make valid counter-arguments against the criticism towards your show, doing something like this makes you look incapable of handling criticism.

#hazbin hotel critical #hazbin hotel criticism #vivziepop critical #helluva boss critical #look I don't think that viv is a bad person #not saying that she's an angel or the best person in the world (ya no) #but a some of the controversies surrounding her are a bit dumb imo #That being said... #her show is getting valid critiscm from people and the fact she's doing something like this #makes her look incapable of handling criticism #Just sayin

thinking about the fact that despite modern au Zuko being in therapy for his CPTSD and having made a lot of progress, growing little by little into his kind and compassionate side, some days he's still an utter mess. Thinking about how Zuko is fair and level-headed and yet sometimes his most animalistic and irrational side takes control and locks adult Zuko up in a pantry, while it rages and destroys everything he's built for himself. Thinking about the uglier sides of his trauma, those that he usually bottles up and suppresses until he inevitably can't anymore. Thinking about Zuko going through cycles of impatience, selective mutism, touchiness, defensiveness, starting fights with Sokka for seemingly no reason. Thinking about Zuko being mulish, selfish and unfair, mad with anger and grief like a rabid dog. Thinking about Zuko pushing Sokka away, and Sokka feeling so tired, hurt, rejected, angry and guilty, but not leaving because his love for Zuko is unwavering and he knows Zuko is tearing into him out of sheer desperation. Thinking about how painful it is for Sokka to see Zuko back himself into a corner and hurt himself and those he loves most. Thinking about how Sokka is the only one who possesses the required balance of patience and strictness, putting up boundaries and holding Zuko accountable and yet forgiving him when he eventually comes back around and manages to calm down the angry animal in him. How Sokka is the only one with the self-restraint to not mirror Zuko's aggression and not yell back because he knows Zuko will have a panic attack if he does. Thinking about Sokka's endless love and grace in seeing the worst parts of Zuko and giving them space to exist, and still patiently coaxing out of him the better ones that are kind, responsible, brilliant and forgiving.

Thinking about how brave and strong Zuko is, until he's hit by the cycles where Zuko isn't hostile and irritable, but scared. The phases where he's always sweaty and anxious, waking up with shaky hands and a tight chest. The 2 am mornings when Sokka has to physically keep Zuko from getting up and obsessively checking the door locks for the 6th time because even if Ozai is in jail, Zuko is sure that he'll get out and kill him. The days when Zuko is absent and yet hyperaware, easily startled by noises, incapable of eating or sitting down or doing anything at all that isn't waiting for something horrible to happen; when his muscles are tense and his jaw is clenched so tightly he ends up with a migraine, the pulsing in his temple making him cry as he throws up in the toilet. The phases where he's scared like a child and it's irrational and he feels so pathetic and ashamed but his entire body is paralyzed with fear and he shakes with adrenaline for days, barely able to function. Thinking about the times when Zuko is jumpy and easily triggered and stressed more than usual, and he tries so hard to hide it and pretend like everything's fine, but Sokka knows and misses his snarky and sexy boyfriend who's capable and smart and doesn't walk around the house with bleeding nailbeds like an anxious ghost. And yet Sokka holds his face and promises to him that he's safe and loved and protected and Sokka will never ever let anyone hurt Zuko ever again, he swears, because he loves him, he loves him so much, and repeats the same 5 or 6 simple sentences in hopes they will etch themselves in Zuko's brain and give him some relief from the terrors of his past.

Thinking about Zuko being aware that he's spiralling and not being able to take back control and prevent his self-destructive tendencies from hurting Sokka and Uncle and his friends, and feeling so ashamed and remorseful and weak. Thinking about Sokka being aware that Zuko's actions aren't a matter of poor self-restraint and nastiness, and recognizing that sometimes Zuko just isn't able to help it, and needs a hand. And so Sokka steps in and takes the lead, showing Zuko that he's loved even when he fucks up.

#zukka #zuko x sokka #it's projection hours baby #i don't think that zuko is a guiltless uwu baby incapable of handling his emotions #i actually love strong and level headed zuko with a touch of feral asshole #but that kind of trauma and deformation doesn't disappear overnight and even despite ones best efforts #interpersonal relationships can be SO hard

[divorcedtom]

i think if tom spent any amount of time sulking over the divorce instead of paying attention to greg, greg would eventually just say “um, no offense tom.. but like.. get over it? perhaps?” and tom would be like “‘get over it?’ its only been two weeks, GREG” and greg would go “yeah but like.. you— you were only married for a year? actually, uh, less than a year— if im remembering correctly?”

#tomgreg #greg being so desperate for tom’s attention in the last two episodes + being promised that he’s tom’s new wife #will make him incapable of handling tom’s attention being on shiv even if its literally for their divorce #tom can’t go out to dinner because he needs to meet with his lawyer #and greg takes that personally #etc etc

Did this all in one sitting and my hand definitely paid for it but finally put together a render for Athena

#Cheri Art #My Time at Sandrock #MTAS #Athena #MTAS Athena #even meidi needs builders and you'll get the folks who grew up in the faith taking on the role as 'martyrs' #handling relics and other 'blasphemous' things so others don't have to #athena is this but also a Secret Second Thing because im incapable of making girls without secrets

[devourable]

Bro, whoever that asshole was that was like "blah blah imagine people not being 100% supportive and yall get mad about it" like, okay in that case, imagine people getting mad about what an artist wants to do with their art. Not everyone will like it, then don't read it???

Personally, I'm not into darlings myself but like, I'm not a baby jesus- that anon must be like a lid or sumn cuz that emotional maturity is not it

no bc i literally didnt do anything to deserve allat all i did was post one (1) drawing ft characters i dont even write for and answer some questions. thats it 😭 i dont even write content w my darlings and all of the stuff i do make with them isnt even with my yanderes so ???

i need yall to understand that yall are gonna see more of my darlings regardless of if you want to or not bc most of them are related to my yandere ocs and they play integral parts in their lore. and you're gonna see me pairing up my yanderes w ppls ocs sometimes rather than just being x readers. sorry not sorry if thats disappointing but as unfortunate as it is i am a human being who likes having fun too. no amount of bitching is gonna change that

#still dont see the issue w me doing the same thing that you as readers do/would do #you being incapable of handling content that doesnt cater to you isnt my problem #communion ;; asks #anonymous

[shoulderholsterfreak]

For some random thoughts with shoulderholsterfreak, I was just thinking about the scene in Lesser Evil where Thrawn is sitting and staring at the sunset (a lot of symbolism, there) and talking to Quilori. What I find curious is how adeptly Thrawn maneuvers Quilori and gets him to believe his bullshit about the existence of other beings like the Magys among her people. He displays what seems to be genuine emotion and even incorporates subtle mannerisms and cues in order to “sell” his faked mental state.

You see this happen a few other times, a couple examples (among all the cosplaying he does) being his reportedly highly convincing display of devastation over the “destruction” of the CEDF ships, the scene in Chaos Rising where he pretends to lose his mind in panic shouting about pirates to get the fleet’s attention, and then yelling at the stormtrooper in the 2017 novel to get the guy to move. All this begs the question: if Thrawn is that good of an actor, what else has he faked?

I also want to know how someone who is supposedly so socially inept and seemingly so utterly clueless when it comes to politics is capable of this kind of manipulation. How is it that a man who can’t understand the machinations of his own people’s interfamilial drama can ingratiate himself to Palpatine, a dictator whose customs and culture are completely foreign to him?

Edit: there’s also the fact that the books repeatedly hint that Thrawn knows far more Basic than he lets on and you really have to wonder what that’s about, lol.

#thrawn #star wars #meta #just wait #he fakes being socially clueless because he can’t be bothered #or maybe it seems like it’s not worth his time #legends Thrawn was much better at handling people #I wonder if his canon counterpart isn’t nearly as incapable as he seems #I highly doubt this will come into play in the Ahsoka show #I think it comes down to Timmy Z mishandling the superficial ‘weakness’ of political clumsiness imposed on canon!Thrawn #could have just made him wrong a couple times #or have to reassess his strategy #you know #like a normal character with normal struggles #instead we got ‘Thrawn can’t understand basic interactions so everyone has to hold his hand in politics’ #in order to not make him seem too OP

[king-wilhelm]

My mom yelling at me to stand up for myself while the being the very reason why I struggle to do that is a special kind of hell circle I keep getting stuck in

Like ah yes, shoot down every thought, every opinion your child has ever had by pulling rank and constant insults/mockery for 20 something years and expect said child to suddenly have a voice

My guy, my dude, I wasn't allowed to have a voice amongst family what makes you think that I'll have the confidence to assume I have a voice amongst strangers???? Make it make sense???

strange ward thing

It's weird that everyone in Cauldron, a conspiracy kept secret for decades, has such loose lips about Contessa's birth name. Like sure maybe Contessa told Number Man at some point (and Custo overheard). But then he goes blabbing it to Citrine??? And Legend somehow knows even though he didn't know about the alien in the basement??? The gossip at the interdimensional watercooler gets wild, man.

#wormblr #wormwebserial #wardwebserial #wildbow #parahumans #cauldron #fortuna #contessa #I suppose it's not so farfetched that they had some kind of post-GM huddle #where Contessa gathered all surviving members of Cauldron (past and present) and their S.O.s and told them her name was Fortuna now #guys I have a really important announcement to make #I don't think I'm gonna do “contessa style” anymore #contessa changed her IM handle to fortuna<3 #I maintain a headcanon that doctor mother is completely incapable of registering name changes #which is why she keeps eating food from the tupperware labelled contessa #she's pretty sure no one by that name works here #she still yells “HARBINGERRRRR” when she needs taxes done

options:

- corona

- galcrest

- ingvarr

- pittsford

- koto

- neserdnia

- bayangor

- selene/sceptra/dark kingdom

which is honestly. such a low bar.

but uhh

yeah i mean like

dark kingdom pre evil moonstone stuff

otherwise

i guess

corona

Sometimes you are going to see a post that so clearly reveals the op lives in an echo chamber, and unfortunately you're going to have to deal with the fact that nothing you or anyone could say or do will ever be viewed as anything other than an outside attack.

#I've seen this become more clear to me the past year #people who are incapable of handling the nuances of situations to the point of being unable to discuss them without hostility #and only want *their* way to be the “right” way. Everything else is evil and malicious. #The more someone has an “Us vs Them” attitude about large swaths of Outsiders #the more you can bet they don't know a single person who isn't exactly like them.

Thoughts on Nico di Angelo

TOO MANY HEAD FULL

I love him so much and I relate to him A LOT

Also I was super happy with his description in the Titan's Curse because- olive skin?!? Talking with his hands?!?

I now know these are like- apparently common feature of people in the Mediterranean but as a kid I felt so happy seeing a character like me

#sobek yes #enki<¾ #also his obsession sith mythomagic and incapability of handling grief spoke to me as a kid
