#it just seems really really odd

[cerise-on-top]

hellooooo! can you write on how you think Laswell and Valeria would react to their wife’s randomly bringing home a small kitten she found on the side of the road/in a ally? Also I hope you are feeling better lovely!

Hello! In all honesty, I'm not doing too great right now, I should really be resting up, but I can't because of work! Oh well, it happens!

Valeria and Laswell’s S/O Bringing Home a Kitten

Valeria: She would not care for the little thing in the slightest, in all honesty. Valeria knows that she’s absent very often, so she can’t exactly blame you for wanting a small animal companion to keep you company. Besides, she’d rather have it be a small animal than some other person. Still, she’s not the biggest fan of animals. While she may not hate them, she simply doesn’t care about them, regardless of what they are or how cute they may be to anyone else. You can keep your little kitten, she doesn’t care too much about it as long as she gets you to herself when she is at home. However, if the cat gets more of your attention than she does, that’s when she’s starting to get a little bit jealous. If you’re not looking, she’ll shoo the little critter away, hoping it’ll get the message and leave you and her alone. That’s when she’ll come to dislike your kitten a little bit. However, if you bug her enough about it, she might begrudgingly apologize to it, but only when you’re around. She won’t be outright mean to it, but she will put it away from your lap and place it somewhere else if she thinks you’re paying too much attention to it. The little critter can meow all it wants, it’s not getting any extra treats from her. Valeria will only feed it when you don’t have the time to do so, and even then it’s on thin ice. Although she usually prides herself on being a competent and confident woman, it’s so evident that Valeria’s as jealous as it gets, and of a cat as well. You can tease her about it too, she won’t really do anything about it because she can’t. She loves you and doesn’t wanna hurt you, which includes not hurting your stinky furball. It’s obvious it makes you happy, and that’s what she wants to see in this otherwise rotten world.

Laswell: Although she isn’t the biggest animal lover, she can appreciate a cute animal when she sees one, but wasn’t sure she heard you correctly when you claimed to have rescued that kitten from an alley. Laswell knows that cats are independent enough when they’re older, at the very least, but you can’t really leave a kitten all alone for now. Besides, what if it’s got some sort of disease? As long as you take good care of it, Laswell won’t mind having a kitten be brought home, but she won’t have too much time to take care of it either, so you’re gonna have to be committed to taking care of it. She may not be a fan of having a cat around at home at first, but she grows fond of it anyway. Think of all the “My dad and the cat he didn’t want at first” memes, that’s literally her. Either way, she does think you have a heart of gold for wanting to rescue a small and defenseless animal that had nowhere to go. However, don’t make it a habit to continuously rescue animals, she doesn’t have the time or space for all of them, so please just keep it to one, maybe two, at most. Laswell, when she can, will feed the kitten and play with it. Sometimes you might even catch her sleeping with it. Especially when the kitten is more mature and has calmed down from all the playing frenzy, that’s when Laswell might hug it more often and sometimes even take naps with it. Will help you out whenever you need anything from her. Your cat needs to go to the vet? It needs some more food? The last few toys you got for it are broken and or torn? Don’t worry, Laswell’s got you covered. She’s got enough money to make your cat’s life very luxurious, as luxurious as it gets, even. The food will be of the highest quality, it will get all the meds it could possibly need, if it needs them, and the toys will always be provided for. The little kitten probably couldn’t have asked for better owners, in all honesty.

okay not to come of as a hater for a second but i'm thinking about this again and kind of want to get the thought out...

is it just me or is the way people discuss pilots online a little... odd? don't get me wrong, it's honestly really cool to see people get so hyped up and invested in something based on the pilot alone, but from how some people discuss them it belies a bit of a misunderstand of what a pilot is supposed to be and do.

a pilot is a proof of concept for something, not the finished product. this is most evident with pilots produced the traditional route, where the final series may be wildly different from the initial pitch (the first one that comes to mind is the gravity falls pilot, although it's still pretty similar to what we did end up getting).

so it's... i'm a little concerned for the inevitable fallout when a popular pilot becomes a series that's different from it's initial pitch, i suppose

#like i really enjoyed the amazing digital circus pilot #and im excited to see how it changes and grows... but it seems like somewhere along the line #there came this false impression that a pilot HAS to be the template for a show #as opposed to the first 'complete' version of what an episode has the POTENTIAL to be #i remember noting a lot of odd discussion too when the lackadaisy pilot dropped... #and again dont get me wrong VERY EXCITING and LOTS to talk about even before the series was funded #but i remember the discussion centering around the pilot in a way that was like... treating it as if it were the finished product #less like a test run and more like a full short film? #idk i just worry someone somewhere will get in a kerfuffle and i hope it doesnt happen #jonnie's thoughts

I truly cannot fathom how anyone could watch Star Wars and come away thinking that the Jedi did nothing wrong/that their philosophy was correct. Like did you even watch Return of the Jedi? If the Jedi had had their way, Luke would have killed his own father. The entire point of Star Wars was that the Jedi were very wrong and flawed.

#like obviously there is a lot of nuance #the jedi did not deserve to have a genocide performed against them #and they are not fully to blame for anakin's downfall #but they did a lot of really shitty things and it truly baffles me to see people so blatantly deny it #just so you can keep this childish idea of the jedi as superheroes who never did anything wrong ever #like the text of star wars is very very critical of the jedi order #and yet i see people on tumblr dot com insisting that the jedi did nithing wrong #idk man it just seems odd to me #star wars #jedi #jedi critical #star wars prequels #clone wars

#my art #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #afton family #glitchtrap #springtrap #michael afton #william afton #elizabeth afton #i’m afraid to tag crying child because that just seems odd out of context #the puppet #fnaf marionette #purple guy #i love fnaf i’m tired of pretending im not super super cringe #i don’t really like how i drew michaels face but whatever i messed it up and don’t feel like fixing it now #took the picture already it’s too late

#Kim kitsuragi #Im just playing around with the setup of a really small living space #There seems to be two schools of though re kims living space #Which are either really kept or really bachelor pad but im not sure its that simple #I think the kitchen and living space are fairly jept as they are able to be with toolspace being well sorted #But inside cupboards are kind of 'wherever things happen to land' #Im going to pat myself on the back for designing the cooking caddie i bet theyre popular for odd shaped aparments #No propane hookups but gas and water hookups #I bet kim lets dust hang out in corners. Not on surfaces but corners dont matter much

did we ever find out if Daeron will be appearing in HOTD S2? I know GRRM said he would but he is so conspicuously absent from S1 and I’ve not seen any casting news/he’s not in the trailer…. is he a carefully protected spoiler or is he just not here??

#he seems like an odd omission and I don’t really know why they didn’t just cast a kid for S1 #like how hard would it have been… I don’t think he messes the balance or anything #hotd for ts #house of the dragon

#This is about the last thing I could have imagined happening to me but. #A girl just slid what pretty realistically is a love letter under my door and. I really don't know what to do about it #God. I like her a lot but I also really just love her as a friend?? #I don't. I have no idea what to reply because on one hand if I said something like #“yeah every second we spend together is precious to me too I love you <3 ” I would probably. Definitely come across wrong #But at the same time I can't just reply coldly I don't want to be rude. I do enjoy the time we spend together. #I just feel that if I don't reply with the same love and dedication I will come off as rude and make her sad and I really don't want to #But also I'm like. 100% sure I'm not into her romantically #It's just. The way she talks to me in the letter makes me feel... Odd in the bad way. #She spent words of admiration on me I really feel like I can't own you know. #She seems to look up to me a lot and I don't think I should be looked up to at all. #“You're a wonderful‚ very strong‚ and intelligent person” HOW DO YOU EVEN REPLY TO THAT. #“Uh I disagree but you're entitled to your opinion”... ? #Thank you? #This is. Ugh. I'm really not fit for this kind of stuff. #I LOVE exploring characters being in love and putting them in awkward ridiculous situations that make them miserable. #I HATE to be in such situations #As if exams weren't enough. How do I deal with that #Posting this just in case anyone has genuine advice btw. How do you reject a girl you actually like a lot #And how should I even write her back. Because she said to and I'm the WORST at writing back #Sis this is stressing me off so much. I want to dig a hole and disappear in it. I'm not getting out of my room for the next six months. #(For context we live in the same students dorm) #random rambles #I'm so distressed right now this is the absolute worst. #Like I was pretty fine with where we were at but now I feel like I really don't want to spend time with her again for a long time. #Deleting this soon hopefully

I don't think I'm cut out to be an intellectual, I have been noticing a lot in the last year in particular that I kind of shoot from the hip and think that things are basically similar and interrelated and I keep crashing against people who insist that everything is utterly distinct and unique and nothing has anything to do with anything else

If I were being generous with my peers I would say perhaps I am not rigorous enough but if I'm being honest I feel like I'm just insufficiently pedantic

#got into a weirdly heated discussion about whether European Nationalism in the 19th and 20th century #had anything at all to do with independence movements in the Americas in the 18th and 19th century #they actually laughed at me #and like #I'm not an idiot #they're not exactly the same but do they really have no overlap at all? #I genuinely can't tell if I'm wrong or if they're just so blinded by the primacy of Europe #that they can't entertain the idea that Europe might be influenced by something else #they laughed when I pointed to a map #because among historians maps are famously useless apparently #also they laughed before I had the chance to make my point #which was not 'map = reality' as they seemed to assume it would be #it was an odd conversation #but I digress #it all feels very angels dancing on the head of a pin

Cleo and Tango's first session Secret Life joking about how day one alliances have never been worth anything and they're bound to betray each other eventually makes a lot more sense now that I've watched more of the Life Series (Last Life for one, neither of them had great team loyalty that time)

#most of the life series teams I'd known before hadn't really had betrayals or anything #so it seemed like an odd comment that didn't allign with reality #but now that I've seen bdubs boogie kill tango and the whole cleo vs fairy fort situation #just me rambling

i have to say i'm kind of baffled that nathan's entire s3 arc is apparently just. romance? like obviously this is just my opinion but To Me a lot of what led to him doing everything he did was caused by deep insecurity and a self loathing he overcompensated for by diminishing others, and a lot of that also came down to him feeling insufficient As A Man (he was obviously set up to be very envious of roy, who was everything he wanted to be) so. to see him have a redemption arc entirely based on him starting to date someone is just deeply strange. the idea that his self worth and his masculinity would be validated by a woman is...... uuuh...... like idk man for a show that wants to be "about fathers" and thus to an extent about masculinity, and that obviously is invested in showing different displays of healthy masculinity confident in their identity, it reaaaly feels like they dropped the ball with nate.

#nathan shelley #nate shelley #ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso #nourpost #like idk. weird vibes. incel vibes. one might say. #also him kinda referencing keeley rejecting him in the last episode is. hm #again. to me what really pissed him off what that roy didn't care that he kissed keeley #it just feels soooo odd to me to have a character clearly be insecure re: women #and to solve that not by addressing the insecurities themselves but just by giving him a gf #like idk man i love nathans character a lot and ive written a fic about him ive thought about him a lot #and this just seems like a waste of what Could have been a GREAT arc #anyways. lol

The coolest gender thing in the 2009 Japanese video game persona 3 100% how hard they coded shinjiro as the dead mom

#.txt #i got soooo mad in the car driving home thinking about how his drug addiction is essentially the classic anime heart condition. #in that the only side effect of the suppressants is that they will kill him. like? #i realized for the longest time i had assumed the chest pain and sweating came from the drugs but thats. castor. obviously. #it doesnt affect his mood or his awareness its like a mood stabilizer pain relief pill? #its so odd that hes framed as like. being addicted to illegal street drugs. BY THE NARRATIVE. #when its more like hes on the most insane experimental medication that they wont even test on like. rats. #also im not fact checking any of this before posting. so i might be lying about things. #idk if it was all of strega that had trouble controlling their personas but like. chidori was because of the Experimentation. #and shinjis just like. mentally ill coded. in a bad way 😭 #The inability to regulate a mood/stimuli to the point where he can be unsafe to himself or others. #broad ass symptom of disorders that are not treated well. its also interesting that its not brought on by a specific event. #like the childhood fire is there. but you have akihiko right there to directly compare it to. and hes arguably more effected by it all. #and he seems to be coping well 10+ years on like some coping mechanisms are kind of weird (protein) but nothing super out of the ordinary. #so the problem is really the october 4th incident which was just a pure honest to god accident. #the fact that it gets covered up as a car accident does feel like the best like. emotional equivalent. #because it being shinji being unable to control his persona his true representation of himself and it resulting in death is sooooo bleak #and it weighs on him for 2+ years of being suicidal and unhoused until finally he goes through with his suicide by martyrdom. #i lost the plot a little bit on the gender situation with the vague allusions to fraility when story convenient #acting as dorm den mother and cooking and sewing long hair jacket sillhouette reading like a dress #was referring to that before mental illness took over. woman under the influencing this anime boy. #long way of saying i think he should have a over the shoulder ponytail when hes older. and he should have a mood disorder.

The tragedy that is the majority of viewers not catching onto the fact that Gamora had tons of internal cybernetics and an entirely replaced skeletal system when those are the only things that will remain long after she's gone.

#lex thoughts #universe: mcu #gotg thoughts #ive seen many people assume the silver markings were just. weird alien makeup and not the metal poking out of her skull #but granted i can't really blame them when the only mentions of the internal stuff being a quick aside during the briefing on Xandar #but. i still think about it and how it never really got brought up. almost as if it didn't matter because it was all mainly on the inside. #odd and offputting. #especially when it was always made a point to highlight the cruelty of involuntary body modification enacted on Nebula and (mainly) Rocket #bummer moment sorry i just can't get over vol 3 and watching everyone try to cover up her death as if it didn't happen #and that meaning they didn't go to Vormir so they'd be able to give her a funeral nor do they even seem very bothered by that. #very sad and depressing when yondu was allowed one and appearance beyond the grave multiple times but gamora..? Denied. #i also dislike OG Groot becoming nonexistent to the team post Vol 1 so i guess you could say the precedent had been set. but #even rocket buried a piece of him in that planter. #i wouldn't want to be a bunch of metal bones rattling around but i guess you don't always get a choice #and Gunn's tweet that he did think to include OG Groot and Yondu in Rocket's afterlife scene. but very specifically left out Gamora. sigh.

Things about early drafts of Fakir I’m haunted by:

was referred to for an unknown period of production as “the black prince” (to Mytho’s “white prince“), including during the development of the 2001 trailer. (source) (source) (source)

machine translation of the last source: “Since the character of Fakir was still in the process of being set up, the "black prince" image that director Kawamoto had in mind at the time can be glimpsed in the [promo]. The deep V-neck was also in line with the concept.”

is presented as not just a (less tsundere and more, uh, aggressive) romantic option for Duck, but implied to be a romantic rival on the same level as Rue and Duck for Mytho’s affections in the 2001 trailer

production sketch of Fakir dancing with Rue, as Kraehe, when they have never once been on good terms in the actual final show: (source)

#princess tutu #fakir princess tutu #im just haunted. it seems like his role REALLY changed the most over the course of development #there was always odette-expy (would become duck) and odile-expy (would become rue) and swan lake prince expy (would become mytho) #as early as the 1994 balleriland draft for the series before sato came on board #although their exact personalities backstories roles etc would obviously change a lot #but fakir doesn't really map directly onto any swan lake character as far as i can tell #the knights implied name of lohengrin comes from the incorporation of knight of the swan folktales into german variants of arthurian lore #sick as hell allusion but does make him a little of an odd duck (hah) here! #was he at some point literally a prince like mytho or was that purely figurative. #was he at some point going to have a more positive relationship with rue/kraehe that got dropped #when in development did black prince fakir become knight fakir i wanna know i love cut content

OKAY I'm supposed to be getting my haircut on monday but I'm thinking. I skip it.

#this is scary for me!!! #i have had my haircut every six odd weeks basically since i cut it short. #I've been wanting to grow it out a bit for so long but I'm very scared because i know it is going to really bother me #but i need to just bute the bullet and deal with my hair being longer. otherwise my hair won't get longer. #idk!!! #feeling weird tonight anyway and mum made me doubt myself earlier so i think i just need some reassurance or something #and when i say grow my hair longer i mean literally like an inch. #i know this may not seem like a big deal but it is to me! #my hair is the longest it's been in years as it is so it is an adjustment for me. #the only reason I'm hesitant is because i know if it does bother me it is going to really bother me and i may perhaps be unbearable. #but I'm hoping that i will be able to push through? #idk!!! idk i just needed to get some thoughts out #I'm feeling really out of it and overwhelmed this evening #i might have to skip watch party idk. either way I'm gonna get upset about it so fuck me i guess

I genuinely don't think straight people can even begin to grasp how upsetting the homophobia in the ted lasso fandom is starting to become. It's coming from all sides: casual viewers i speak to in real life who laugh in my face when i mention the possibility of any of the main characters being queer ("there's more than enough gay stuff with colin being there", "you're making the keeley stuff up she's obviously straight cause she's with roy"), people on the internet saying "who even is this colin guy?" after him being on the show for 3 seasons or "baz doesn't need to be gay as well, stop making everybody gay". And this is about the show that's all about be true to yourself! Be curious not judgemental! Be kind! This show managed to curate that kind of audience. It all just feels so fucking impossible sometimes.

#i honestly think ted lasso is gonna fail the vito russo test #cause the potential queer characters they seem to have set up for a queer storyline (excluding keeley cause she'll end up with roy/jamie) #are all minor side characters #and people will be able to skip their isolated 2 minute scenes and just watch the rest of the show uninterrupted #and if the shwo does pass the test then the situation in the fandom is gonna get really fucking nasty #which is fine cause queer people are used to that #i know i say this with ⅔ of the season still ahead of us but then again that means i've seen 7/9 of the whole show #and i don't seem the earnestly turning this thing around in a meaningful way #and as i said even if they do against all odds then the fandom will turn into fight club #meaning queer fans are gonna be the target of hate either way #ted lasso spoilers #just realised how many typos there are in the tags so please ignore that i was Ranting <3
