#it's way into her vocabulary

[karmaphone]

I can see some of y'all are deep in the colonial romance fantasies re silna 😒😒😒

#terrorposting #the thing about goodsir/silna is that it's good because it didn't happen #she doesn't love him like that. he's the man who (symbolically) killed her father he's her jailer he's the information leech worming #it's way into her vocabulary #he loves her like that of course. how could he not with the tales of native romances he's been spoon-fed. and she knows that he doesn't see #her as a Whole Unique Person. she's the arctic to him. she's the unyielding ice and wind that cuts at your skin and the beast haunting them #they're not made for each other it's not 'anything could've happened' - it's good because it didn't #there was clearly a draw and a connection there - but this show is EXCELLENT at illustrating how fuzzy the borderline between chemistry and #what people are truly capable of at their worst #can be #it's 'for all the love that could have been if we were both different. if the world was different. if we weren't here (but if we weren't #here we never could be)' #it's you are clearly bad for me but I cannot tear myself away #it's you bring me comfort but I wish you weren't here (I wish we both weren't here) #it's we're going through this awful thing together. despite it all despite what either of us wants we're in this together #it's not some fuckign. uwu THIS white man will treat her good. how can you say that after a single second of considering the sexualization #of native women #they're fascinating because of the situation not because it's some 'better' romance #some of y'all suck the nuance right outta things like a juice box I swear to GOD

This might be controversial, but I've never had this idea of Britannia as being a particularly warm maternal figure. Like, I think she definitely loved her kids, but she was more concerned with their survival than with letting them be children if that makes sense. Her way of showing love was trying her damndest to protect them, and to make sure they could survive on their own after she was gone. It was less explicit "I love you"'s and more compliments on their progress or stern scoldings when they'd gotten themselves into danger. The British Isles Siblings are hard pressed to remember the last time their mother hugged them or sang to them, but they remember her pressing a blade into their hands, kissing their foreheads, and telling them to be brave. They know their worth because of her, but what tenderness they gained they learned elsewhere.

#hetalia #my thoughts #hetalia headcanons #hws britannia #hws england #hws wales #hws scotland #hws northern ireland #hws ireland #nyo!ireland #british isles siblings #sorry i was listening to fourth of july and it made me emotional #i know i make allusions to hotd all the time but think the scene between otto and alicent when he's banished #she loves them but those words aren't in their world's vocabulary #they also have the example of rome coddling his kids and them being utterly unprepared when he's destroyed #i think she'd be terrified of that happening to her own children #i also just think mothers who don't necessarily have what we'd call maternal instincts are interesting in their own way #especially when she has kids like molly and alwyn who have very strong parental instincts in contrast #people go “oh you must get that from your mum!” and are met with very awkward silence

oh nooo that's quite a bummer :( but i'm very glad that i helped brightening up your day :") tbh your writing brightens up my day too (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

AND WAIT I'VE BEEN ACTUALLY QUITE THINKING ABOUT WHETHER ZOMBIE MOB HAS FOUGHT OFF A ZOMBIE WHEN I ASKED IF HE HAS EVER BITTEN SOMEONE and since you brought it up, well, would be okay to ask about the details of how it went 👁️👁️ (also him fighting off a fellow zombie to protect tome got me sobbing)

- 🪻

aww im glad my silly little words brighten ur day!! ur so sweet :]

and yes, it went horribly <3! tome prolly wasn't paying attention as closely as she should've been and got herself surrounded by a crowd. to be clear, that's not Always dangerous, since zombies arent like,, after ur brains in this constantly. but these zombies did look quite hungry, and human or not, she looked like a good meal,,

she had wandered off a bit from mob n ritsu, but mob heard the commotion first. tome has a big fucking baseball bat in this au that she likes to swing around, but a baseball bat can only get u so far in terms of self defense. she thins the horde but there's simply too many of them

mob lets exactly One zombie grab her and yank her toward them before he goes ballistic

watching zombies fight is a lot closer to watching wild animals fight than anything else, and it gets quite horrid sometimes. since their bites aren't rly "dangerous" to each other beyond the typical Oh No a Chunk of Flesh is Gone (not even painful for them, since their nerves r.. less than functional), the fight is a lot more close up and gruesome than a fight against a zombie and a human would be. humans usually back away from zombies immediately and try not to touch them at all in fear of getting bitten; zombies don't need to care abt that

most of the horde realizes that this meal isn't going to be easy and they wander off, but a few more hungry, more desperate ones try to rip into mob's throat at the first sign of defiance. it's not exactly a fair fight; it's like 1 against 4, so he's sorta bound to lose

thankfully ritsu shows up and shoots two of them down (he's Terrified of shooting mob by accident, but either way he'll probably die, so) and tome gets the last one with a good swing to the head. ritsu rushes to mob and is horrified by the amount of blood dripping from his neck and his arm; tome is equally as shocked, but she's mostly thinking, "ive Never seen a zombie defend a human before"

mob's neck is thankfully mostly just scraped up and clawed, but there Is some gruesome punctures where canines sank in and tugged. it's a lot worse along his arm that's bitten and gouged beyond belief. he loses a lot of blood here, but the whole nerves-no-longer-work thing is a blessing in disguise atm; he'd be in a lot of pain otherwise. while ritsu and tome are patching him up w shaky hands he simply glares beyond their shoulders like he thinks he's still in danger, even when they tighten the bandages. it's like he barely notices what they’re doing

his strangely alert behavior makes them think abt the possibility that maybe mob Knows he could've easily been shredded apart there, and he's a little scared and worked up abt it. the only reason he managed to fight as long as he did without dying is prolly bc the other zombies weren't as well-fed as mob—they were kinda weak and shaky from days of no food, but mob has humans taking care of him and keeping him fed 24/7

they're all shaken up by it pretty good.. tome is still reeling from the fact that mob defended her so valiantly, and ritsu is quietly horrified by the idea of another zombie killing mob instead of a human. he doesn't know which is worse

#qktalks #anon #zombie au #this isn't the first time ritsu has had to kill a zombie btw ^ #this is just the first time he's had to kill one since he started seeing zombies in a different light #it was either letting his brother die or killing a zombie. ritsu's upset that he had to make that decision at all #but he's not afraid to say that the decision was incredibly easy to make #it sucks that he had to kill one but . for mob ? literally anything goes #ritsu checked tome over after they took care of mob too. tome's very surprised when he's rly gentle abt it #ritsu's been known to .. lose his head a little in moments of stress #and sometimes he snaps at tome bc of it. he never means to he's just..worked up #but this time he's kinda fretting over her and it opens her eyes a little bit #ritsu has indeed grown to care abt tome a lot. they bicker Most of the time but it's usually not very serious #in all the excitement tome just hadn't rly realized that until now. ritsu is so high-strung that it's hard to get a read on his softer side #but now he's not just directing his softer side to his brother‚ but to tome as well #i have 15 more tags to explain smth i wanna make clear btw let's hope i don't start rambling abt smth else entirely #so i've been using a lot of vocabulary in these au posts that hint toward mob being ''special'' or ''abnormal'' in his behavior #he is not special or abnormal in any way #Every zombie is like that. every zombie has a personality‚ and a gentler demeanor hidden behind that desperate starvation #and remnants of their past selves in there somewhere #mob is simply one of the only zombies that have been taken in and cared for and treated like a sick person rather than a monster #as i've said before most people just.. either run away or shoot them between the eyes when crossing paths with a zombie #they don't give any of them a Chance. mob is a very very lucky zombie. #he is healthier than most other zombies and he is treated far better #and the way ritsu constantly talks to him is actually great for his health ! gets those rusty gears in his head rollin #exercises that brain‚ even if‚ to ritsu‚ he's only responding in odd gibberish #that's only one of the things ritsu gives him that other zombies never receive in their lifetimes #i'd say mob prolly ? has one of the longest ''zombie lifespans'' #most zombies either die of starvation‚ dehydration‚ or sleep deprivation within a few weeks #he's lived a long zombie life !

Hi, I saw your reply to my post about using the 'q' word. Just wanted to say thank you for speaking your mind. I disagree with what you've said but I appreciate your point of view. I hope this doesn't anger you or anything like that. I just wanted to thank you for your response and I hope you have a good day.

You are not the person who decides what is and isn't a slur for homosexuals. Homosexuals are. And many have spoken. You are not entitled to claim it back.

Your black friends can't give you a n-word pass and young straight/bisexual/gender havers or even homosexuals can't give you a q-word pass. Even if they do? You will still be using a slur. Against an opressed minority. Whom most likely don't want it. Congratulations I guess?

By all means though, have a good day.

#queer is a slur #ask #she was going to the big city and saw qu**rs in real life #and the qu**rs we're holding hands in public #and she was just amazed at the qu**rs #homosexual isn't in her vocabulary maybe #but that doesn't make it right #if someone tells you that you are using a slur against a group that you are not a part of #and talk about them in a creepy weird way as if you're watching animals at the zoo #then maybe... just listen? #get better? #don't be a homophobe? #wild i know

[v prompting me to get this thought out in the open] i dont know how to talk directly about gintamas black chars and jokes!

#so in the same way i dont talk abt gintamas fat joke plots and the bar queen jokes i dont which kjdfg i would like to! #just dont know how to come at it...... esp for mama and her girls i simply do not know the vocabulary to do so #sopping wet gintoki posting #like i know when jokes that apply To Me go too far and when they stay in a farness i still find funny but.

i had such a good and interesting characterisation thought re. TK in the context of replying to this ask but i don't remember what it was very clearly and so i'm just. sitting here. trying to trigger the same thought

#something something tk would believe/deny it blind. because the idea that a team (even a sub-sub-sub-team) could be betrayed that badly #just wouldn't enter his vocabulary of allowable events #it would not Occur to him that someone might have left the boys for dead like that #marjan would believe it. it would occur to her. she especially has the media literacy for it but also she is not a. cis white man #right? right? but i don't remember exactly how i wanted that point to come up in the newspaper thing and i don't know how i decided #the others were going to fall on that line and anyway #tk would not be UNWILLING to see it he just would miss it the first few times someone said it bc he would not #be expecting to see it. he Would Not be expecting to see it. #'vocabulary of allowable events' is a good way to put it good work me #who would do that? who would just Set Them Up? #that's not even. those details wouldn't be In. there's like Steps to this characterisation even appearing at all #it would not be a direct one-to-one conversation about it just a. note somewhere abstractly that even if it DID come up he wouldn't have #the tools to believe it. .... i am getting lost. #i know the thought is in there i just keep sitting down to write it and going ahhhhhh! #''aster could this not be a direct message'' yeah but i wasn't planning it to be a whole talking it out in the tags #and now they're all in the tags #and now u get this. love u squid #tbd #when i actually write the thing instead of sitting here. contemplating #plus also it . does not require a response im just out louding. cause it's neat! #it's about tk! #it's about who he is at his core including the messy and a little bit mean (accidentally) bits! #sighs sighs sighs sighs. i love him

I chose Susie Brann from “Alice: The Madness Returns” partly because of the confident snarkiness, and partly because of the british-ness

The new-and-improved Hero Knight design is by @theroboticxyz and the Hero illustration they did! (Which I still can’t get over, it’s so cool. Link to that post is here: https://www.tumblr.com/theroboticxyz/720784342257991680/fanart-for-goosemagicians-anti-hero-au-cause )

#Tpoh #the Property of Hate #tpoh au #Anti-Hero AU #Tpoh Hero #Tpoh RGB #I had such a fun time with her expressions and body language #wonderful practice #Hero also gets to display the cool vocabulary she picked up from RGB over the years #The way Susie reads Alice's lines just FEELS like the way RGB says things #Which is why I thought her voice in this particular game was so perfect in the first place #because it SOUNDS LIKE RGB #And Hero absolutely picks up on that and I love her for it

I don’t think my sister has ever read a book in her life which is so strange given that she’s related to me

#Like I was the bookworm child #Who doesn’t read as much as an adult but has read 26 books this year and 46 last year so like. I still read. #The main way I notice it though is her vocabulary is weak and it’s like ahh this is what the books did to me #I kinda want to make her read more but I haven’t kept any of my children’s books that would be good beginner novels #The only book I still have that’s suitable for younger readers is the Diary of Anne Frank which. Heavy. Not as a first book. #I mean I also still own my copies of Harry Potter but I’m not going to encourage that

“She killed herself, though,” said Arya uncertainly. “Ned says she jumped from a tower into the sea.” (Arya VIII, ASOS)

Although initially thinking the reasoning was stupid, Arya does seem to be genuinely troubled at the thought of Ashara's death. It feels like one of the reasons she got so upset at the thought of her father having a romance with her was because it came with the implication that he'd done something to dishonor her and contribute to her death.

#the way she noted that her father had honor and knew that this was before Cat and Ned were engaged but still asked about her death... #sometimes 10 yo don't have the proper vocabulary to describe how they feel and Arya even notes that she couldn't place why it bothered her #or maybe I'm just overthinking it who knows🤷🏾‍♀️ #either way it's definitely not the uncaring moment people make it out to be #just some thoughts I had while going through ASOS

evil blake in shorts be like "racism is a disease, the brutalization and exploitation of the faunus people in corporate war profiteering has created an unstable society in which the systems that destroy human dignity is justified. ur family's commoditization of dust energy built on the blood of innocent Faunus people in a world where people must pay for your dust to protect themselves against an existential horror is a microcosm of how racism thrives in remnant. in this battle, i will explain how the SDC and late stage capitalism-"

Nightmare!Adam finally figured out the best way to make humans listen and that way was to put Blake in booty shorts 😌

#anon #unofficial adam answers #blake belladonna #ice queendom spoilers #rwby ice queendom spoilers #aldsfjlksdfj 10/10 vocabulary #and isn't it fun that the explicitly evil version of blake is expressing the faunus' situation in remnant more eloquently and directly... #than her normal self? #'how many innocent faunus have suffered one-sided judgement at your whim?' #'you robbed us of our land you robbed us of our pride and when we resisted you robbed us of our lives' #'how many ways have you humans abused the faunus?' #'making us fight the Grimm exploiting us for your own human wars and then banishing us'

Something HYSTERICALLY funny to me about the literal opening lines of the album being Joe’s silence and calm and Taylor both resting in it but also about to midnight chatter/complain/vent/reminisce/sob for the next 44 minutes

#you can feel him as a place of rest for Taylor #all that not marrying nonsense. like again. Taylor can say what she needs to say as she wrestled with old wounds and crushing expectations #etc. #YOU need to marry her. period. full stop. #it will not be enough for her until/if you do #(I hope you have already and we don’t know but yeah.) #like. it’s literally your job Joseph #okay I’m going to stop talking about this specific aspect of it but yeah. #Taylor’s wounds. the weight of things. her fragile bitter heart #like. you as a calm and reserved British actor with self-possession etc. have literally one job #and it is NOT your acting job #anyway overall I love his presence on the album. somehow more revealing than ever #not his personality in itself but flashes of it I guess. and mostly what he means for Taylor #this anchor of stability that has unlocked (honestly) her potential to be her most insane self #in the BEST way #she doesn’t have to hold back #the OLDER Taylor gets the more I am astonished to find how much agonizing restraint there was in those early albums #of course not all of her vocabulary and darkness and wounds (or loves) were as developed now #but there is this sense that she was keeping herself in such check #in order to be likeable #the fascinating power was still there but the range of her sheer personaltiy #the bitterness the rancor the need for peace even the softness #their deep twisted complicated roots were mostly hidden and disguised #and time reveals them #(though also the funny thing about a taylor album is that it wears sweeter with time) #until I can almost hear no bitterness #but at first that’s ALL I hear
