#it's a core memory now

[spriteofmushrooms]

The interesting thing about Jiang Cheng is that he refuses to be his mother's golden child to Wei Wuxian's scapegoat; he actively chooses Wei Wuxian again and again. He defends Wei Wuxian from her until she dies. It's unusual.

This doesn't mean that Wei Wuxian's experience was any less fraught--being hated by a caretaker is awful even if everyone else loves you. But it was an interesting choice by MXTX.

#pallas.rtf #mdzs #this is perhaps because i spent a lot of time on various subreddits #but either golden children don't protect their siblings or the golden children who protect their siblings don't end up posting on reddit #because i've never encountered a clear golden child and scapegoat dynamic like jc & wwx's in real life or in fiction #i suppose that's wuthering heights again--cathy defends heathcliff (until she learns how to be a proper lady) #but i don't know. it's interesting to see jc step in for wwx directly in the novel and then contrast that to wwx comforting jc after jfm #doesn't praise jc for helping to save wwx #i often wonder if wwx was as resentful in the moment or if--like all memories--wwx reframed that interaction after the golden core transfer #the way he talks about jc like he's sooo delicate and breakable that obviously wwx has to comfort him is v. reminiscent of how he acts like #jc almost directly forced wwx to do this mad impossible thing because jc was sad and breaking #if jc read mdzs he'd probably curl up in a miserable little ball #but yeah like... memories are shaped so much by what we think and feel now #all memory is imagination... and wwx was a tormented ghost for 13 years because no one offered him anything #so what would that do to you? #i'm off topic

congratulations to Asagiri Gen for winning the Dead Wife Award while being neither a wife or dead

#i lied hes my wife #but seriously hes so dead wife core.... #if there's ever a sequel that's set farther in the future u can bet that gen would be dead and this is how senku would remember him #or his ghost/memory would keep like poking fun at him when he's stressed #'oh my dear senku i would've thought you'd have learned by now when to let something rest...' #dr stone #dcst #gen asagiri #asagiri gen #drst

Them: Don’t get tattoos, it will damage your reputation. Don’t dress like a boy, people will laugh at you. Don’t colour your hair blue, no one will take you seriously.

Me, with my tattoos, blue hair and navy blue suit, in the parliament, about to address the committee for children on revising the national curriculum to include chapters on consent, safety and relationships: hm?

I unfortunately can't find the poll about locaring the US-States, but it inspired me to do a poll about locating countries in the EU. We never had to learn the US states (obviously, I guess), but we did have to learn the countries at some point, so I'm really curious.

Take this Quiz to test how fast/correctly you can locate countries in the EU.

disclaimer: this is a first attempt test with no prep, so if you do poorly, don't feel bad. I find this site is a very helpful tool when it comes to learning where countries in general (or US states) are located, and if you're interested in it, you'll get better in no time! I promise! :) Knowing where certain countries are located makes it a lot easier to understand historical events, cultural influences and contemporary politics, which makes it useful and fun. This isn't a marker for intelligence and this poll isn't intended to be condescending or mean-spirited.

#btw I was incredibly bad at geography #I remember getting maybe 5 countries on that test because I hadn't been aware #that we'd be tested on them. it was awful haha. one of my core memories from school. #so trying to learn them now is really important to me to overcome that shame #BUT I still did poorly when I did it for the first time after a long break the other day. I got like 55% #the small countries by greece really did a number on me :( very shameful #BUT at this point I'm at a solid ~80%!!! I'm very proud of myself :) #edit: I did. it again just now and got 100%! :)))))) im very happy about that

GET TO KNOW ME MEME: FAVORITE MUSICIANS

↳ TAYLOR SWIFT

“There’s a part of me that definitely is always going to be different. I needed to grow up in many ways. I needed to make boundaries, to figure out what was mine and what was the public’s. That old version of me that shares unfailingly and unblinkingly with a world that is probably not fit to be shared with? I think that’s gone. “

#honestly we need to praise her character development #she's come a long way #and she's such a big part of my childhood as a 90s kid #fearless and speak now are ingrained in my mind #like there are core memories associated with those albums #as well as red and 1989 #all of them actually #we just grew up with all her albums being a significant part of a significant time in ourlives #taylor swift #mine* #gtkm #gifs*

Oh no, not me, human often frustrated by the willful whims of mammals, looking warmly at the profiles of mostly bully mix type dogs in local shelters.

Don't worry, I'm not that brand of impulsive. I just love their big smiles and I'd never met one I didn't like.

Alternately, I'm missing my childhood dog (who wasn't a bully type) but like all dogs, he was a certified Good Boy.

#April rambles #I'm not immune to canine propaganda #but I can be particular of course #I think people might guess what breed my childhood dog was #anyway I love bully type grins #they have hippo faces #I'm not the usual asshole who feels entitled to dogs I'm always overthinking if I could do right by them #it's a question of a dog fitting into the lifestyle with feasible adjustments #my patience is so much better now that I'm medicated lol #I'm not worried since I know myself and my capabilities #for the time being I'm gonna smile guiltlessly at pictures #fond memories of the time I was drawing in a coffee shop and two amstaff looking dogs bolt over to me #and put their basketball heads in my lap #and the owner is like “I'M SO SORRY they got out of hand” #and I'm like we're good they love my magic scritchies #core memory right there

"Durge came back different", "Durge didn't really come back", "the person who Durge originally was is dead" are all good takes, but what if.

If Durge came back exactly as they were? The brain damage, additional trauma and memory loss are the big altering factors, but underneath that it's still them.

They didn't change drastically, their former self is not dead.

How about one single fragile mortal soul still keeping a hold on itself, how about Durge who was never allowed anything for themselves still retaining them.

How about Durge who has lost everything: power, memories, purpose, sense of self, still being themselves, despite it all.

How about not even Orin's daggers, tadpole and Bhaal combined being able to rob them of their core? How about all of that just revealed who Durge has always been underneath all those expectations Father dearest put on them?

How about: "After all this time, it's still you."

#the dark urge #durge #dark urge #listen all these dead past selfs and loose of identity is fine and all #but i personally can't stand it because give me “me” back #give me who I am #i don't want redemption fuck your clean slate #give me the only thing I could ever dare claim as my own. return myself to me #@withers maybe SOME losers would lose their mind seeing the attocities Durge has commited. Levi is better tho. give him all of his memories #and give them NOW #levi is not a different person #not even june is a different person #it's still them how they have always been at their core #it's not regression it's not stagnation it's growing and changing #but staying yourself #levi SO recovers all of his memories #fuck what some old dude with bad hiring skills says his memories aren't lost. nothing ever truly is #june accidentially gets curses with having his memories back #maybe don't piss off powerful entities bby #levi be like: i respect all loss of identity. but I PERSONALLY hate to lose. give me myself back

Deacon loves two things: Ymber and digging himself a grave.

Fulj hates one thing: Deacon.

#my characters #waiting on some info on the next commission so i indulged in ocs today bc i doubt i will have as much time for lil comics for a bit #deacon is so devoted hes like yeah i would kill for a deity that could easily kill anything himself but yknow teehee #and fulj just did you tell him you needed therapy also does he even know youd murder in his name #deacon caught red handed haha no of course i havent told him it should be obvious enough haha.... and its in his defense not his name :c #man really does have some issues but i love him so much and hes so devoted but like. unhealthily after a while #he does in fact need a chill pill and therapy but to be fair #ymber has needed therapy for centuries and yet he just bottles it all up and suffers so #its pretty unhealthy until they yell at each other one (1) time bc they are so insecure about things and get mad over very valid reasons #but then theyre like you know what that was necessary and i still want to stay by your side if you let me #and then fulj is like dude hey sorry you seem really happy did you fu- and ymber is like no please stop there we have not #fulj just squinting cause have not is very different than will not but whatever she doesnt wanna think about that with deacon involved ew #and eventually fulj is like hey ymber im sorry to say but i really do hate deacon and i dont even know why but he makes me uncomfortable #while deacon is just. in the room. hearing this and thinking how he knows she thinks hes weird but wow that wording hurts #and ymber doesnt wanna fill in memories better forgotten by fulj which she had forcefully removed #so he just says oh well his hair and clothing are black and you had someone in the past that you might see in him and its not a pleasant en #so you know maybe its that idk #and fulj is then WHATST i was rude to him for someone i cant even remember? lame im gonna try SO HARD to be nice to him now #and deacon just still sitting there with some food like this is v awkward and i wish i could not be here for it #and later he asks ymber about who he resembled and as ymber is descibing her it clicks in deacons head and he gets really sad #that he might somehow remind fulj of the woman she loved before she was punished for loving a mortal #and he feels kinda bad pestering her so much with his curiosities about deities and he kinda gets it #the fact hes close to ymber might remind her at the core that she was once that close with a mortal if not closer #anyway story time in the tags again #im so obsessed with these peeps and i have made them suffer so much but they do all end on a happy note #its still funny and nice to me that while fulj is creeped out by deacon and doesnt like talking to him #he still expresses the most emotions to her - he tries hard to remain serious around ymber and collected and obedient at all times #and when out and about with ymber he has to be intimidating and refuses smiling but fulj?? all sunshine and smiles and emotions easy to rea #and she is just that is so weird go away i hate you

Hey does anyone remember two months ago? When we were all up at ungodly hours sinking into our couches and staring blankly at the television screen? While also screaming and crying together on tumblr dot com because a fictional angel and demon kissed and then broke up??

#mentally I am still there #Tis a core memory now #that was such a terrible time (I had the time of my life) #good omens #ineffable husbands

fanon my beloved vs. fanon my beloathed

beloved - zack's nicknames for cloud (spikey, sunshine, cloudy, etc) - kunsel has hacked into shinra's database and could cause massive damage to the company on a whim by tapping a few keys beloathed - "zack's so stupid lol he's such a himbo" - "cloud's just a cocky asshole who doesn't care about anything but money and himself"

#kunsel #zack fair #cloud strife #crisis core #final fantasy vii #final fantasy vii remake #these are just a couple examples #there are some things i really love about fanon but #some of the stuff i see in fics makes me wonder if we played the same game #free my man (zack) he has adhd #free my man (cloud) he has autism #they've both got a ton of trauma too #also cloud's got a gap in his development from being stuffed into a pod of magical goo at 16 and being stuck there for years #he didnt have any friends growing up either #i rarely see people talk about these developmental gaps and that can really change how someone interacts with people #but like cloud deeply loves all of his friends even though he's awkward at showing it #he only knew jessie biggs and wedge for a few days and he cared about them all so much already! #cloud isnt even actually cocky either #but he's got a lot going on with his identity and memory that i could write a novel about so i'll stop here #dont even get me started on people thinking zack is an idiot #there's already been a lot written on the subject of zack's adhd so i will refrain from going off about it #okay done rambling for now
