#let’s get real for a sec

[moonsaurora]

i guess people are excited cause they’re also fans of travis but why are yall acting like they’re soulmates and making it a bigger thing than it is

like if they do end up together and really love each other then that’s super cool and wonderful for them but right now there’s barely any confirmation on their relationship other than they’re talking and he invited her to the game. i guess it’s just the shipping from fans of both of them. idk how to explain it lol

nothing against travis btw i literally know nothing about him lmao i’m sure he’s great it’s not about him lol

i’m still not over her and joe actually. like that was true fucking love and she may be ready to move on but i’m still sad about it lol

was it like this for anyone else??? like longer Swifties than me like after one of her relationships was it hard to accept the new one. idfk

#LMAOOOO IM STILL AT THE RESTAURANT #FOR A DAMN RELATIONSHIP THAT WASNT EVEN MINE #and there’s more about their relationship now than when i first drafted this #oh #taylor swift #let’s get real for a sec #people who have actually been in relationships before. #has this ever happened to you? #like you’re with someone and you’re in love and you think they’re your soulmate and endgame #and you’re like. together for A While #and like cornelia street feelings and everything #but then you break up? #do you find someone else like that? #and you actually end up together? #i just #listening to everything she said about him #the songs #i cant imagine finding that again #or i can’t imagine all of that being wrong and it’s in someone else instead #i don’t know #i’m just scared i wont ever find it #ANYWAY! #i very much support taylor and her happiness and this relationship #i’m just. still sad lol

Finished ORV. And i dont care what anyone else thinks, im putting it in my Traumatized Magical Girl roster. Which now conists of:

Revolutionary Girl Utena, Madoka Magica, Princess Tutu, and now Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint. :) so ORV is now a magical girl media and noone can stop me.

#ORV #omniscient reader #omniscient reader's viewpoint #madoka magica #pmmm #puella magi madoka magica #rgu #revolutionary girl utena #utena #princess tutu #ptutu #spoilers: #honestly kinda funny how all 4 of these have to do with debatable time shenanigans #and ima compare all the animes I listed to ORV for a sec #princess tutu 🤝 ORV: novel turned into reality #revolutionary girl utena 🤝 ORV: protagonist met the MC before and wanted to go meet them in the 'real' world #madoka magica 🤝 ORV: Psychopathic Regressor #theres more I could add on #like how in both RGU/ORV utena/dokja sacrifice themselves to let anthy/joonghyuk be FREE #and in PMMM/ORV dokja/madoka gets split into 2 (in madokas case it was homura's fault) in which one of them is god and the other is just... #a normie #homura/joonghyuk's case... haha regressor go brrr #therefore ORV should be included in magical girl spaces #no good magical girl anime doesn't have debatable time paradox shenanigans #prove me wrong #magical girl

I gotta say, as much as I normally sympathize more with Reo, reading chapter 13 of epinagi and rereading the main manga at the same time makes me feel for Nagi, too.

Seeing just how often Nagi's thoughts go to Reo, his reasons for snapping at him after the 3v3 makes so much more sense. In Nagi's narration, it's obvious that he holds a lot of respect to Reo as a player, other than a friend. Every time he faces a challenging opponent or sees a great play, his mind always goes to him. When he's not wishing to show Reo all these amazing things, he's reminding himself and others that they must keep challenging strong opponents to justify having left Reo behind. One way or another, their promise is always very present in his mind, and he's giving it his all to make it come true.

But then they run into each other in the baths and Reo is acting suddenly cold. He doesn't want to hear about Nagi's efforts, and he calls him a rival. It would be so easy to take offense to that, to assume—like Reo did—that the other has forgotten about their promise. But it's not here that Nagi's temper snaps. Instead, he takes it in stride, and actually looks kind of fired up for the chance of facing a Reo who will go all out. After all, Nagi understand wanting to take on strong guys, and through this and other subtle details, it's shown that in his mind Reo is still very much one of them. I'd say that he perceives Reo as an equal, if not strictly a teammate at present. This is especially clear when Nagi's first impulse is to still pick him as his first choice when they win. We've established that Nagi doesn't let sentimentality get in the way of having the best shot at achieving his dream (think of the pep talk he gives to Bachira about leaving him behind if he doesn't step up even if he and Isagi are close). So, all of this to say: Nagi speaks with his actions, and he chooses Reo for Reo's skills, not for his attachment to him as a friend. He respects him.

But he respects their dream more, in the end. Just like how he left with Isagi not by any fault of Reo's own, but to examine his own drive for football, Nagi once again makes the choice that would best result in bettering his plays. Not because he doesn't care, but because he's that serious about it, actually.

Again, Reo doesn't make the cut not because he lacks skills, but because his playstyle isn't compatible with the way Nagi's team is evolving. Reo would bring them balance because he's skilled and charismatic enough to singlehandedly whip up their mismatched chaos into a proper team. But being a team would make them worse players individually, and Nagi has enough maturity to know that's a step back for his own skills, not one forward. Not a single moment has passed by so far where he hasn't been putting his all towards fulfilling his end of the promise, or one where he hasn't had full faith in Reo in turn.

And then Reo, who has acted cold and standoffish all this time for seemingly no reason... Reo, who is so skilled but wants to be picked even if it means losing and possibly flunking out of the program, their best chance to get closer to the world cup... The same guy who swore they'd be best in the world, but whose efforts only stopped at winning in the first selection...

that Reo goes and accuses him of not giving a shit about their promise to each other.

I think I would've snapped back too

#Let's be real for a sec. Reo was a brat there #I totally get where he's coming from and he is absolutely right to be upset and hurt #But accusing nagi of indifference was a step too far come on #He used to trade his position for the goalie's so he could better slack off #Now he's putting his whole soul into it and you don't get how that's a love confession? Come the fuck on reoo wake uppppp #Ok im kidding about the love part but these two...I swear #Blue lock #Nagireo #I need to make a tag for my ramblings.... #It's not quite meta bc it's so ship focused but it deserves a tag #People who are more creative than me do you have any suggestions?? #Nagi seishirou #Mikage reo #Bllk thoughts

orvphil: so real

for example used analysis on the following instances

orville's physical reluctance & difficulty kneeling to propose to jane vs. readily swinging right into such a kneel with phil during 'til we meet again

'til we meet again

(see above) noting the "both immediately becoming So happy to be doing this" and "staring at each other for an unbroken ten seconds after finishing the song which was evidently beyond simply a [hold for applause] thing"

having indeed an adorable little meet-cute, which may not be an integral part of every eventual writer/lyricist & composer partnership

when phil drops in at wingate manor and he an orville have a private little wave to each other like =)

sitting next to each other sharing a hay bale and orville gets drinks for them both and phil walks orville home

lucky day

the choreography where orville's at the piano and phil swings it out while rotating it and orville's "walking" while sitting to one side to help (my analysis: going ohhhhh ;w;)

both simultaneously answering "his" when asked whose song it is like the earnest effortless mutual admiration and appreciation huh fellas

margaret talking about protecting your heart from these theatricals; orville Is one of these theatricals, and he loves it; phil watching him / reacting in this moment including his little "hell yeah" move like he had for orville going off in lucky day

their general enthusiasm together / for each other / enjoyment of being around each other and increased ease of operating when around each other

phil wishing orville could hear his music and talking about how orville ruined his own night to save theirs, then remarking "...what a guy!" mmhm

🌈🌈🌈

Rant. Hate traveling to the city so much.

I need to get to the big city today and I am this fucking close to biting and going feral. Why the fuck do you wait by the door so much prior to the destination coming leave me the fuck alone you people had sit places. And of course no-one wears a mask so not suprised. Get away. And also of fucking course this train system is useless as fuck and I come 20 minutes at min later to my appointment and if that isn't fine then I'm going to go feral for real I'm already so done. If selfish people wouldn't be assholes could I maybe at least eat or drink between leaving and coming back home but I'm not risking shit. Fucking hate here man I wonder why I either barely go out or if exclusively with other people and then this is the state and I remember. The coughing just adds I don't want anymore. If anyone starts to sit next to me without a mask will I have even more bloodlust. If I'm lucky I get cozy and turn into snuggle cat mode once home and if not will I have to sleep again bc otherwise I will be unable to function for anything bc only one emotion is allowed to exist until sleep reset.

#a wild lux appears #wouldn't be suprised if it partially was still to fight anxiety w anger since that at least gives confidence #Like obv I'm not gonna be a bitch to people irl unless they directly attack me but fucking hell #Anyways to combat anxiety or not the anger is real #It's like 10 am here why the fuck was the first train so full #Need to move back to the city just to not have this shit and at most deal w full transit in the city for like 5 mins tops and not like #A full hour just to get into the city #A full hour is nothing but it is if you're quickly annoyed at people #Anyways reg the last part now that I think abt it I wonder if having sometimes a hard time letting go off esp anger for the day is still #Relics of the protectory. Bc letting my guard down or being nice for even a sec to those assholes was awful. And I was around them 24/7 #Love analyzing myself since I'm little all year #At least it distracts I guess #Hoping I zone out until I'm in the city or smth at least the train is not full rn

give me four days of free time and i come up with a weird grotty romance about masculinity, sexuality and gender in early 21st century suburban america

#aka dirty nasty cmjf fic #let me be loft for a sec #im big sad i have to get up early to go back to the real world tomorrow #all i wanna do is roll around in this sun soaked world i have invented #might have to put this onto a shelf next to the one about class sexuality and religion in backwater town america #i should start. researching america for writing. probably.

Tbh I think I could call Enderal cosmic horror in some places. Or at least it seems like it has some elements of it. Like the whole concept of the cleansing, the high ones, the idea of the annihilation of civilizations by some sort of inconprehensible ancient entity that feeds on humanity and then restarts an entire cycle only to keep feeding, it sounds a lot like cosmic horror. Plus it gives me the creeps. Majorly.

Also that entire island you go to when you meditate. The soundtrack sounds so eerie there and the noises that you can hear in the background are pretty creepy when you stop for a bit to listen in, especially when you look up at the sky in there and the star at the center looks exactly like the one you see in the sky when the cleansing is happening. I know this is technically a dark fantasy game but damn sometimes it hits some horror chords and does it pretty well

#ik the whole concept of the high ones is inspired by mass effect but still like it fits the tone of the game #and I think it executes it well enough that they don't just feel like reapers 2.0 it feels like a psrt of the world #which I think is what makes it creepier #it feels real and imminent and unstoppable and hopeless #it feels literally like being stuck in an unstoppable cycle doomed to see it all repeat itself over and over again #which is a feeling I honestly didn't get from mass effect. but I got it here #I love the fact that there's a message of hope amidst all of that but I just really wanna appreciate the horror here a lil bit for a sec #enderal #sleep.txt #also ik I'm just shouting this into the void bc enderal has almost zero fandom jfjckg I just wanna ramble abt it let the sleep girl ramble

okay. hhhhh.

#so i completely feel like the house is in danger now #the boy woke up just a little while ago. i changed him and had him go potty etc. it’s snack time and he said he wanted to go outside #so i’m like sure why not. and i brought him out with his snack and set up a place for him to eat outside. this is all fine right #like i’m talking to him and stuff. and then he looks behind me and says ‘who that’ and i absolutely froze #and that FUCKING guy was standing there on the other side of the fence #but this time around the back where we were #i asked if i could help him and he said he’s a little lost (??????) #asked if he could use my phone and it would be real quick #and i told him okay well just across the street is an apartment complex and they have a phone #and he said he doesn’t have time for that and he needs to use my phone. and i said sorry you can’t come in #and at this point he was leaning forward on the fence. they just put padlocks on so he couldnt have opened it but he would be able to hop it #he wasn’t saying anything so i picked up the boy and left his snack there and told the guy if he comes on the property i’ll call the police #and repeated that he can go to the apartment complex #and i opened the front door to the house and he said ‘you should let me in’ #which is so. oh god i don’t even know what i said back. and i locked the door and watched him stand there a sec from another window #before he walked off back around the perimeter of the fence and down the street somewhere #AND I LITERALLY !!!!!!! i don’t know what to do !!!!! i have an hour until the father comes home #and i’m absolutely scared shitless. what do i even do. what do i even do !! #i thought i might ask my dad to come over at least until the father gets home #that would technically break my contract but i think it would be special circumstances #but he isn’t answering his PHONE and i’m just. so freaked out. i have no idea what i’m supposed to do. #god i don’t mean to panic but this feels like a panicking situation #anyways.txt

Quick question, for the Demon Slayer AU, how would y'all prefer I handle plot heavy ideas? 👀

As in, I'll provide individual drawings and little scenarios, but smth like a full on comic is a lot vshsvdjsvs and I don't write lol soo ??

I could just post everything from the start, but I think that'd be boring shjsvsjssv

The little scenarios could work, I'd just have to see how to introduce everything then??

Yeah svjssvjssg lmk what y'all think

#dropping by real quick bc #:3< #*rubbing my lil raccoon hands* #I'll answer comments/asks when I get a sec! #but I see you 👀 #I'm letting myself go feral planning this #limits? what's that? #shdjvdjsvdb #cero rambles

kalvin garrah era of transmedicalism really was something . like girl even cis people don’t have one Dominant way of expressing their gender why the fuck should trans people

#the you know whos really tried to argue that there’s only ONE human experience per social category 😭😭 #the human experience is all about diversity #god that time sucked . way to force a bunch of incredibly impressionable and lost kids into one incredibly rigid category #way to repackage gender norms and roles for a trans audience . like it’s so laughably idiotic looking back at it now #100% i’d rather kids be ‘cringe’ on tiktok and use the most complicated pronouns to ever exist #than to force them back into some rigid box that will only serve to traumatise them and stave off the inevitable (of them being themselves) #ppl rly act like kids being annoying is worse than bigotry LMAO #i def do not understand most of it but god i do not care . let them do what they want #i WILL get their asses if they’re being exclusionists though <3 #jay rants #back to the main point for a sec . i get why early transsexual professionals like harry benjamin categorised gender dysphoria as inherent #because it’s like . they were really building off of nothing lmao #like the only trans people they would have known of were those with dysphoria horrible enough they came to them seeking surgery #but to argue in the goddamn 2010s that you HAVE to follow this incredibly rigid set of guidelines (made in the 1960s. btw) in order to be a #real trans is . fucking stupid

So I watched that episode of Our Flag Means Death where Ed finds the bunny and thinks it's a wolf and thought, what if Remus was a wererabbit and Sirius had no idea? Anyways, have a drabble.

Here I Am (a rabbit-hearted boy)

Hogwarts Era. 654 words. Wererabbit Remus. G.

Remus' floppy ears twitch unhappily. He had been so careful—so careful not to let his friends see the monster he becomes every full moon. He thought he was sneaky, when he made his way out of the castle before dinner—after the other boys had already left for the Great Hall, but here is Sirius, standing above him with wide eyes. He'd seen the whole thing, the whole transformation—running into the clearing before Remus could even shout at him to stop. Before his body bent and twisted violently into a monster.  Remus' tiny body shakes in fear. Finally, after an impossibly long moment, Sirius seems to come back to himself. "R—Remus? Are you—you're a werewolf?"  …I'm a what now? 

"I thought maybe you were upset about Snape ruining your Potions final when you didn’t follow us down to dinner, so I came back to find you and saw you sneak out of the castle. I decided to  follow you, but I didn't think...Oh my God. You're so...so...cute."  Remus' nose twitches in a way that he thinks sufficiently expresses his shock and distaste. He’s not cute. He’s fearsome! An abomination! Sirius, unafraid, crouches down and strokes a gentle hand over the tawny fur on his back.  Okay, well Remus doesn't hate that.  Sirius scratches behind one floppy ear, and it makes Remus’ back foot twitch. Sirius smiles. "Are you a friend, wolf? Merlin, wait til I tell James about this! Our Moony—a real bloody werewolf!" and then as quickly as he’d appeared, he's gone, running off back toward the castle. It's just as well, Remus is dangerous like this. As much as he would love some company on the moons, one bite is all it would take and he could turn Sirius, too. He couldn't live with himself. Remus has just finished snacking on some grass, and is just about to hop into the underbrush to play chase with the rabbits of the Forest, when Sirius comes running back, this time with James in tow. Great. "See James! That's Remus, he's a werewolf!"  James, who is bent over trying to catch his breath, looks up at him like he's stupid. "That's a rabbit, Sirius." "No...I saw him transform—that’s Remus. He's a werewolf." "At best that's a wererabbit." He looks down at Remus, his face twisted in thought. "Sorry Remus, just a sec. Sirius—" he looks back up at the other boy, pinching the bridge of his nose. “—have you ever actually seen a rabbit before?" "Well, not precisely...Grimmauld is in the middle of London, not exactly teeming with rabbits and the like." "Babbity Rabbity? Surely you've read Babbity Rabbity at least." "I'm pretty sure Babbity Rabbity would never make it into the Black family library. Not macabre enough." James sighs. "Okay well, I’m telling you that's a rabbit." James points down at him, and Remus twitches his nose, hoping it conveys how tired he is.  Sirius stomps his feet, insistent. “But his last name is Lupin, not Lapin! He's Wolfie McWolf, not Bunny McRabbit!” “I’m pretty sure his name has nothing to do with which were-animal decided to take a chunk out of him, Sirius!” Remus tries to hop away while they’re fighting, but Sirius spots him and scoops him up into his arms. “Oh no you don’t! Come on Remus, I’ll sneak you back into the castle—get you something to munch on. What do rabbits eat, anyway? Hay? Flowers?”  Human flesh.  “They eat grass and, like, carrots. Good call though, better get him inside before an actual wolf spots him. Come on, Remus.” And that’s how Remus finds himself, a few hours later, in a soft bed, snuggled under the covers with Sirius’ hand gently resting on his furry back. He supposes being found out isn’t so bad, and if he wakes up in the morning—human again, Sirius spooning against his back, he thinks that might actually be even better.
