#its just fair ya know

[moeblob]

Alright I told someone I would give propaganda for these two so here we go. As a warning, I didn't play mobile or Re-Mind soooooooo. Yeah there's that. I know they're apparently involved in past stuff but shhh.

So first off, everyone's weapon is super useful! Except theirs. Which I always thought was really funny? Even in Re:CoM Zexion's book was more direct than these two. I really enjoyed them just as the most indirect fighters? And figured they'd be pretty chill and after playing KH2 as a kid I'm like. I think Luxord would be most tolerable to music while vibing. He could play Solitaire or something while Demyx played music and possibly chatted. Therefore, my younger self was like "it's perfect".

ALSO CONSIDERING THEIR NUMBERS! And the line in KH3 during the scene where Demyx is like "yup I got benched", they've probably got a history. However, the number they get originally is supposed to be the order they joined. So with Marluxia and Larxene obviously tied together in the past, all I can think of is these two just being absolute bums wandering around pre-Organization and just hitch hiking their way into a cult. Which is also REALLY funny to me because what if they joined at the same time but Demyx got to be IX and Luxord is X.

Demyx would hold his rank over his head for the dumbest stuff (in my head canons of the past).

Like there's so many things we specifically do not know about these two so basically, until I'm proven absolutely incorrect in game (which might have happened and I just don't know) ! I think they'd be a good match.

And I mean, it's also just (gestures) LOOK AT HOW CUTE THEY ARE. Great designs and I think that's good enough for me!

#kingdom hearts #demyx #luxord #i really just looked at these losers when i played kh2 on ps2 and was like wow they should kiss #and now im many years older and i am still like wow they should kiss #also i was telling my sister i was trying to come up with propaganda doodles and im like #yeah its two guys what more would the kh fandom need ya know #and she looks at me and goes did you really just say they're two guys thats enough #and i was ??? YEAH?????? FOR KH? theres like ten girls and ten games what more do i get to work with #and she sat there listing games in the series (she hasn't played any but she watched me play 1 and 2) #and counted eight and then i listed some more and she was like ok you know what thats fair #but that said she said the funniest thing ever that i NEED to draw but its too late for tonight #so you guys will get more of them at some point #also im still amused that luxord in kh3 appears after demyx says hes benched #and proceeds to say WELL AT LEAST I WASNT BENCHED like super casually and demyx just ouch you were listening thats rude #like they're supposed to be vessels and yet they still manage to have a bicker moment over importance of roles

I must know, where do you get all of your belts and accessories for your outfit(s)?

You've inspired me to dress similarly but I also want to have my own flair to it

honestly it was collected or otherwise assembled over the course of several months. some of them were simple purchases from popular sites like killstar or etsy and some were thrifted locally and modified by myself like my battle jacket

#lilith answers #i should make a Q&A ngl haha #i get a lotta repeat questions #but i feel bad ignoring them ya know #cuz ppl wanna know and i dont think its fair to ask them to just scroll my answers tag for an hour and hope they find it

?????? What do you mean Anders is all like, "We have a kid now" when Keir gets back from the Fade ??????? Where did he get the nugget?????

#sorry i could not resist the opportunity. anyway could be this #could be that anders picked up a random mage kid bc i really do mean it when i say keir is 85% of his impulse control #with 5 amells in the circle theres a fair likelihood there are baby ones out there that were separated so thats another line of thought #if u cant have a baby get ur husbands second cousin once removed on sale now #but anyway ya ive always had trans anders hcs in one direction or the other so like #bio keir/anders kid very possible in my mind why not! grey wardenisms permitting and all that #i have not thought it through deeply but it is for sure on the table #like i think they both want kids and they know how dangerous it would be but like if the opportunity was suddenly there #i DO think anders is the kind of messy decision maker to keep a baby while on the quest to cure the calling and being separated from #his husband for a couple months. that IS on brand. and he wouldnt tell anyone for ages bc hes stupid #also im rlly fascinated by yrsa dealing with it bc of like dwarven issues with infertility and the royal pressure for heirs and the #inability of two grey wardens. #this is messy it is very early in the morning and i have a cold. suffice it to say i have been throwing concepts around #i just think its terribly interesting. i love when fantasy generational chaos #also i want bethy 2 hold a little niece or nephew is this too much to ask i thibk #*think not

As a fellow it/its user i am firmly shaking hands with knives. Also this might just be my own bias knowing how rare it is for people to actually use those pronouns for me, but brad and luida referring to knives as such is a subtle but such a meaningful gesture. Like yeah knives is perhaps a little asshole but they still love it.

Oh hey hello! I was worried - I didn't want to be like, "Knives uses it/its because it is inhuman and also a freak, hope that helps". Knives uses it/its because what else do you want him to use - they/them? What are they, a hive of sentient bugs?

I almost did she/hers because plants are referred to as she/hers, Knives is a plant, what's the problem. But plants are referred to as it/its too and I figured that would demonstrate my point a bit better.

It's also kinda part of the bait-and-switch of the first section. Brad is so harsh, and the way he talks about Knives to Wolfwood is pretty dehumanizing, and he is handcuffed to a bed, and him using the 'its' pronouns just make the vibes super weird. Just uncomfortable vibes. But when you actually understand the family a bit better, you see that Brad and Luida talk about Knives this way because they know him better than anybody else does, and they accept him unconditionally and with the full knowledge of who he is and what he's done.

Brad and Luida are from the future, where neopronouns are completely unremarkable. There's nothing weird about it. But everybody else is from the 1800s, and I did want to stay grounded in that, at least to a certain extent. I thought about it as...many prejudices have been forgotten, because the original settlers didn't have them in the first place. But I think what Gunsmoke rejects is non-conformity. Even if what you're conforming to is fucking bizarre. I think stuff like Knives' favorite pronouns would be too different for him to want to use them day to day.

(I am sorry that I didn't use them in the narration, or even when talking about him - spellcheck, uh, hated me enough already. You say "Knives opened its mouth" and spellcheck starts frothing at the mouth at the implications of that sentence. And I knew from experience that it would have ended up ridiculous where the pronouns jumped absolutely everywhere. I'd have wanted to practice with shorter stories first. As it stands in the story, Knives uses he/him day to day and it's not uncomfortable for him, so that's how his narration goes.)

#but you know it/its guys probably dont get that much rep #so if I write more stuff for this in the future I do want to practice with that! it could say Narrative Things #hm maybe for the Knives Teenagerhood Story that I kinda desperately want to write now #ya know there does seem to be a fair bit of trans Vash/Knives stuff out there #but kinda majority for E reasons #so maybe it's nice to just see xenogender folks vibing #also my computer needs to be taken away from me and also comedy should be outlawed #because the 'hive of sentient bugs' joke made me laugh way too hard at my own joke #my writing

#personal #ok whatever. ive decided to go all in. like what?? am i just gonna sit around hoping he'll message me??? #someone has to make a move and CLEARLY it has to be me NDNNDJDJDJDJDJDJSJ #tho to be fair its like. holidays JJDJDJDJDJD #i also dont know if ive mentioned this detail. but im 2 years older. so idk if That also plays a factor. #like maybe thats intimidating. idk #i just !!!! dont want this chance to pass by. so im gonna like....

i just need to know does anyone else feel like briony from atonement is autistic?? like dgmw i really do get why people dont like her, but that doesnt mean she cant be autistic,,, its like its the way shes gets so caught up in her own thoughts that she fails to recognize other possibilities, like obviously thats not something exclusive to or definitively a part of autism, but i just i feel i definitely do that too,, oh also just adding in there her pride in being tidy and her need for control, and like people always describe her as "pretentious" and "entitled" but like idk i dont see it, like the part where she gets somewhat upset at finding out the twins are wearing her socks, its like idk cecilia didnt ask or let her know that she was letting the twins borrow briony's socks, even though its something small, to someone like briony who seems to value her stuff, i could imagine it would be off putting to find someone had taken/used it without at least letting her have a say in it, like i cant say for sure that she wouldve let them wear the socks if she was asked, but maybe she couldve pointed them to a pair she was more okay with loaning out, like idk, i know in the grand scheme of things and of the story the socks dont matter but i just keep thinking of it,, but also idk i at least have some respect for her because she doesnt try to shift the blame onto anyone else, she even says herself “She would never be able to console herself that she was pressured or bullied. She never was, She trapped herself, she marched into the labyrinth of her own construction, and was too young, too awestruck, too keen to please, to insist on making her own way back.”

#yeah idfk #but briony just screams autism to me #everyone irl that ive discussed this with have said “well i dont think it was intentional” for some reason #like okay? and? like obviously not to bash them because i dont think they meant anything bad by it #but like literature is meant to be subjective ya know #yes the authors intentions with a piece and a character matter and give insight into why things turned out the way they did #but that doesnt mean the different interpretations cant exist #briony tallis #atonement #OK EDIT: I KNOW ITS STUPID BUT I MADE THIS POST BEFORE READING THE WHOLE SOCK SCENE I HAVE NOW READ IT AND UNDERSTAND WHY CECILIA COULDNT #DIRECTLY ASK BRIONY ABOUT THE SOCKS #(i still think its fair for briony to be initially upset though even thought again it doesnt really matter) #but yeah im actually reading reading the book now and the more i read the more autistic i think briony is

[cryptidofthekeys]

hm

what if,,

Feppino (Fake Peppino, I call him either Feppino, Fakey, or Feppi)

but what if Feppino could mimic voices it’s heard to lure people in, I know he can’t necessarily talk- and just makes like a buncha distorted noises and sounds but what if it could do that like that one SCP that I can’t ever fucking remember the number of

like imagine just hearing a voice of presumably one of your friends calling out to you or calling for help and then you get inside and... THAT is just waiting for you

#Chase's Evening Shenanigans #pizza tower #fake peppino #i cant remember the number of that fucking SCP- but im sure someone knows which one it is #like its fucking horrifying for such a silly lil guy but to be fair #if ya really wanted- this can go both ways fjhdkfjdk #it can be silly or scary- whichever is your preference #like it either does so to lure prey in or he does it bc he wants you to get some fuckin PIZZA #...donteatThatpizzatho #someone's probably already had this idea- idk but either way- im just- thinkin bout h i m <3 the beloved

I was honestly thinking about it and I think my opinion on a lot of things boils down to "it is entirely fair to cut anyone out of your life who doesn't respect the version and expression of you that makes you the happiest" and I think that probably extends to almost all "expressions" only with the caveat that I don't see it as a moral mandate to respect every expression someone offers and I don't think its inherently wrong to not accept someones expression if it also requires you to reject an aspect of yourself in your happiest version.

Do I think either of these are always the most healthy rules to live by? No. But do I think its fair rules and expectations? Yeah.

You can't force someone to change essential parts of who they are (may the rejection be bigotted or based) in favor of your identity / expression but you also can't tell someone to not express / identify the way that makes them happy and expect them to still like you

In the end, not everyone is fit to get along with everyone and thats okay and fine so long as that is respected.

Like if it makes TERFs and shit happy to ID as TERFs and be TERFs, its within my realm of control to make them stop, nor can I blame them if they hate me - but they also can't be mad if I also hate them and block them cause its not their right to force me to accept them in my life

I absolutely do not have to agree or respect anyone, but I can't be surprised when someone whose expression I don't like and hate returns it back to me.

#nah bitch terfs deserve 0 respect #debates #not about any specific discourse topic #but I like to try to articulate my general opinions on things to have some consistency in my values (at least as a part) #and Ive been playing with this on and off in my head and I think i finally got it #also this is like 100% just my opinion #im pretty sure XIV has a radically different one than me as do probably a number #knowing him hed be like which is fair and based #but ya know #casual thoughts and opinions #good faith discussions and arguments welcome #bad faith arguments and not #alter: riku #discourse #syscourse #not gonna do terf tags cause theyre just toxic and worse than syscourse #and not gonna do transx stuff for the same reaspn #this isnt about syscourse but its the only discourse I can think of rn that I am chill with posting this in

also realising not as many ppl into st are as autistic/ otherwise neurodivergent as i thought LOL maybe the difference between my opinions vs the majority is actually tangible 😭😭 ok well if that's the case i'm killing myself no offense

#🐾 #i think maybe possibly a lot of my issues online come back to this in some way which is like maybe frustrating 😭 idk #like i get on ppls nerves a lot..... obviously. #but also i have very specific opinions and some people like those opinions of Course but like idk. something .. #sui #i think possibly growing up my entirely life clickably autistic but no one knew it including myself has had a greater impact than i thought #and i wasn't aware it followed me online as WELL which is kind of idk depressing but whadda hell what can ya do #like yknow that thing ppl have been talking abt recently that ppl will other u without even realising it cuz they KNOW something is diff #about u.. #though i might just be being crazy rn ITS FOOD FOR THOUGHT .. for sure. i also just think i'm aggravating and people don't like me #which is fair cuz i hate a lot of people too. also part of life . but still

A dramatic sigh from Michael, who leans on the bar, cheek in hand, head at an angle, gazing at Calum. “This is incredibly disappointing, barkeep,” he says. “It’s a good thing you’re cute.”

Calum grins. He went all in on the baseball talk and was rewarded with flirting. Another win for Calum Hood, bartender elite.

Stop thinking about your kidneys and start telling me about the most formative piece of media for you

Can't pin any one media down as the most formative because growing up I soaked up any and all content I could get my hands on, but out of everything, a piece of media that's stuck with me the most through the years has to be Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson.

Most people know the author from her book, Speak, which is all fair and good but it never spoke to me in the way Wintergirls did. This one book felt like it was made specifically for me, and I've never read another book that offered that feeling since.

I'm not one for reading first person - in fact, I tend to avoid books in that pov because I can never get into them. But Wintergirls is the sole exclusion to that rule and always has been. It's truly unforgettable.

Aside from how it touched me emotionally, this book singlehandedly can be blamed for my writing style. Before Wintergirls, I'd never seen a book flow so casually, it felt like the character was speaking to me directly, not through pages and not through a writer, but as though she were in my bedroom at three in the morning, sleep-deprived as I was while reading it, telling me about her life as though we were gossiping. I can't explain it well enough just look--

(sorry for the photo quality I literally pulled out my hardback copy for this).

There's even a later section where Lia (MC) faints, and instead of skipping over it there are literally just blank pages until she wakes up. Look!!

That^ technique will no doubt make an appearance in The Dog Yard, mark my words.

This book took my heart out and didn't let me look away. It kept me up at night, asking questions that I'm still haunted by to this day. It changed me as a person, how I acted, how I treated people, and how I treated myself, especially.

It should be noted that Lia suffers from an arrangement of mental disorders, the worst being a nasty eating disorder, which is what the book focuses on. I was going through the same things at the time I first read this book (since recovered - nine years, babey!) and that, obviously, means that I'm in some way biased about the story. That being said, I've read it dozens upon hundreds of times since, and even after recovery I still hold this book above any other.

It's stern. It's raw. It's ugly. It throws the grotesque in your face and forces you to look. It takes the relationship between estranged childhood friends and uses that as a chokehold throughout the story, tightening with each chapter. But the payoff? The resolve? That final page? It's the cleanest breath of air you'll ever get.

#finch answers #I will promote this book until my last dying breath #it's a YA and I know people like to shit on adults still reading that section but I am BEGGING that you give it a fair try #just be cautious about the contents because again its pretty rough #and it CAN be extremely triggering if you're already sensitive to that
