today's ep is fun ([Fondly] "Yes, Martin, you are my reason,") but im gonna take the time to complain about something minor from years ago, because when else will I get the opportunity?

occasionally people made (make? ive blocked most people who were hardcore about it so idk if they're still on it) posts arguing that Martin is a terrible boyfriend and person and Jon deserves better, and they always cite this part:

to say 'wow, how can Martin say that when he himself isn't very open either, the hypocrite!'

but if we remove the poorly edited out text, and look at the quote in its actual context...

Martin didn't just decide, 'hey, lets chide Jon on his emotional openness today'. Jon literally just read Martin's mind to know what he was thinking about - it's not dwelled on for too long, but imagine for a moment how fucking invasive that really is. compared to that, yeah, Jon doesn't share as much!

which isn't to say that he always should share everything and it's Jon's ''fault'' if he doesn't immediately tell Martin how he's feeling at every moment. just that, you know, communication has to come from both sides. so i think it was more than fair for Martin to express his concern about the imbalance, if Jon would have continued to just know what was in Martin's thoughts and feelings

#but he stopped! because they're actually doing quite well for the beginnings of a relationship during the apocalypse #Martin isn't perfect. not by a looong shot #mostly: being a bit insensitive to other people's feelings #i guess it's cause they're bfs now? and martin put up a good front about being a nice and caring guy #but actually.... he tries rlly hard but he iiisn't actually that good at the emotional stuff? #which is why he just hands out tea when something bad happened. maybe a little white lie #and sometimes that helps #but sometimes it doesn't #anyways. #tma #a mag a day #martin #beloved 💜💜💜 #people were so psyched when he's a bit of a bitch until those traits don't immediately melt away in the light of Jon's Jon-ness #ANYWAYS. i should shut up. before i restart this damned discourse #tma s5 #mag167

Rewatching the anime and I’m at farewell my turnabout now, which always reminds me the magatama just… isn’t a thing they adapted, for some reason. When Phoenix asks engarde if he killed corrida, they adapt it by having engarde be like oh nooo I’m so upset over his death how horrible and Phoenix trusting him based on that. Which I think works and also doesn’t. With the magatama, there’s a concrete reason why Phoenix and the audience think without a doubt engarde has to be innocent until he reveals he isn't, with the magic lie detector not detecting any lie. Without it, it kind of makes Phoenix look overly naive, blindly trusting the guy just because he said he feels so bad without even answering the question. But on the other hand, it fits really well with Phoenix’s character arc in this case and the exploration of the “always believe in your client” motto. Because here the problem directly comes from that belief and trust; while it’s still there with the magatama, the anime might give it a bit more weight since it just makes sense to trust Magic Lie Detector. I mean, why wouldn’t you. It’s kinda less about Phoenix trusting engarde too easily and more “woahh you can bypass the magatama by answering a certain way”

This isn’t me arguing farewell anime version is better, or that the game handles the trusting your client theme badly, not at all, I just like comparing the differences with the choice of removing a key element of the game in an adaption and how it then handles it

Speaking of the game since I’m not done rambling: I think the game gives the case itself more suspense and tension, because even when literally everything points to engarde, even if your faith would normally waver, you think no, he literally CAN’T be guilty, the magatama said so ! While I played the games (moreso early on), I was bad at trusting clients lol, even characters like edgeworth got “yeah no they did it” from me. But in farewell, as it was the 9th case after 8 cases of innocent clients, I had the instinct of “well the client is always innocent so even if he seems guilty as hell he’s probably innocent too” (which is one of the million things I ADORE about farewell, how it plays with how the previous game and previous cases affected the player psychologically). Add the magatama to that, and I was truly convinced there was no way he could have done it for once, which made the reveal a huge shock and made me really connect to and empathise with Phoenix’s inner conflict. While I think the anime adapts the case very well, it does have that aspect I mentioned of Phoenix just looking naive for trusting engarde. Though to be fair it might be bias from already knowing what happens

#ace attorney #farewell my turnabout #general my post tag #i do wonder why the magatama was removed tho #Edgeworth’s earthquake phobia being removed i get #bc at the time the anime was released there had been an earthquake killing/injuring several ppl #and they thought it’d be insensitive to include that in the anime #and the mental health of real people is more important than a more accurate adaptation #but why remove the magatama… what’s wrong with the magatama #too little time maybe ? who knows

#sorry im thinking abt death again #because it's weird to think that ive been in the room. maybe a meter away from someone as they died #that someone being my mom. its just weird. the time in the hospital feels like it happened in some dark little pocket universe detached from #time. a calm room and then the soft blips of a monitor then the nurse rushing in to say she'd passed #i dont kno y ppl use that phrase: passed on. i mean i do. it softens the topic. makes it sound peaceful. ive yet to use it. i just say she #died bc thats what happened. is that insensitive? i dunno. when i was home i realized that i come off as much stranger than i think. the way #my family see me doesnt fit how i see myself. i dont kno what to do with that. i dunno. theyre all together today #for an early easter. and im halfway across the country again. nose so stuffy ive had to mouth breathe for the last 3 days #and again. everything feels the same as it did before but also profoundly different. sometimes i cry in the mornings. or when i think abt #future vacations she wont be there for. bc in the end she quickly slipped away in a way that couldn't be described as peaceful until her #last half a day. and all i can think about in that tiny room is how scary it would be to lose control like that #and how its not fair and she didnt deserve to die only halfway through a lifetime. but its not about fair and its not about deserving. #sometimes bad things just happen. that's life. and now i own a book called motherless daughters. and now im standing with the countless #others who've lost their moms too early. ive already become aware of 3 ppl in my daily life who are in the same club #i keep thinking about this moment that happened between my parents at the hospital. apparently my dad was helping her get cleaned up and her #stomach was so bloated she looked like she had a bby in there. which my dad said. and my mom apparently said: but it's a baby no one want. i #dont kno y that upsets me so much. all the things i heard abt her being in the hospital before i got there upset me. and the rest of my #family was there to see it. so i have the least traumatic version of the story. and i got almost 27 years with her. except my sisters #probably got more time with her bc i spent so much time away. or maybe not. i dunno. #i dunno. im just sad that shes gone and sad that it was drawn out even a little bit. 6 days isnt long but im sure it felt like an eternity. #again not fair. nothings fair. 53 years of unfairness culminating in a tragedy. she would hate me characterizing it like that. she lived a #full life as they say. full with an asterisk on account of length #unrelated

watching house md in one go really makes you see when the writing went nosediving huh

#season 5 first episode ?????????? #whats going on? #i really hate when they try to prove a stupid point that serves no purpose #just to brush it away for the over arching plot of house being gay with wilson #hur dur house is mean #thats it??????????????????????? #like im sorry they are trying to force the narrative to make house the villain but tbh he's right??? #'he's so insensitive' ok stop projecting your fears and limitations on others and maybe he'll stop shutting you down #also the hospital drama is getting out of hand for no reason #i dont know man there's this 'house is so mean and destroys everything he touches' forced view #when is people not know how to self regulate #it's not house's problem that some people can't separate their self with their work #sure it's house's MO to take everything personal but he always has this moment when he's like 'game's over. this is real life now' #other dont have this ability and after berating house for 4 seasons for taking things personally then make the biggest fucks up and then cr #anyway i have opinions about house #he's blorbo #he's my little mew mew

reading dungeon meshi for the first time wheeeeeeee!!!!

#pip speaks #dungeon meshi spoilers #very abridged first thoughts #: #(i’m on chapter 12) #i like the main characters all well enough laios is very autism and he and falin remind me of beat and rhyme (blonde siblings where the olde #r brother is a little insensitive and the younger sister is very kindhearted and also (!!!!!!!!TWEWY SPOILERS) gets eaten by a thing. #TWEWY SPOILERS OVER anyways lots of respect for senshi and my intuition is great bc i assumed chi #chilchuck was not in fact a child and just a type of creature that looks young #although i guess maybe he’s a teenager but i feel like everyone is at least 20s by human standards? #marcille very failgirl energy. i like her hair and outfit. i like everyone’s outfits…i love the unabashed love of fantasy tropes… #but also the rly clever creative creatures like the shellfish armor??? that’s so awesome i’ve never seen anything like that. well i hvent re #read or seen that much fantasy….lol #i like how kui introduces the characters by showing their strengths/specialties and weaknesses and how they learn to work together. its cute #and effective and fun :) joys of writing #oh also this is just me being extremely biased about alphonse but laios always reminds me of him just because blond guy + armor + autistic + #carries a little book of stuff to eat in his armor + looks forward to eating etc. lol #speaking of fma i wonder if the leather shoe on the plate is a fma reference about ed and ling eating ed’s boot. or if #i just think about that any time someone mentions that you can eat leather

rather unfulfilling therapy session about how bad i am at speaking the same language as others and seeing and being seen. not without its worth. feels awful though. i'm not happy

#thank you also for the asks being nice to me #i do appreciate them #nothing is really super Real though #that's a bit insensitive but like. i'm just an insane little man #trying not to bother my friends while they're all having a good time and celebrating themselves #like i've been trying SO SO HARD not to do anything harmful to myself (physically) for like. three weeks #maybe two weeks. but two long fucking weeks #god i just hate #i got ANGRY today. #my therapist was all you're angry at me. talk about it #and i'm just. i would rather not. #fuck all this idk the rules of anything and i'm mad and i just want to stay where i know i can be #i'm ANGRY. i am not often angry. i don't know what to do with this #i don't even know what i'm angry ABOUT

God thinking about the dlc, it was so good but I've got so many unanswered questions

#genuinely thought brair was gonna be evil. i mean the way she was drawn in that one promotional art work. maybe it was just a red herring #also. i feel like arven should of at least known that brair was poking around his mums stuff. like it feels a little insensitive #but then again idk if brair was aware of sadas passing. or if she knew it happened in area 0 #though im pretty sure at one point kieran mentions she was looking through private stuff of sadas. #anyways idc if brairs not a villian. im just not fond of her #also what about that peach pokèmon found within the games files? wasnt it meant to be important to the lousy 3? #and kierans sudden change in behavior? #i have seen some people say that jts going to be a mythical mon. which is okay with me #anyways. i know it seems im complaining a lot . but the things i enjoy about the dlc vastly outwthe things that confused me #pokèmon #the indigo disk #pokemon dlc spoilers

#i feel like i can’t go online anymore it’s just so hateful everywhere #not just about taylor even #but that’s the topic here #she was a little whatever at the grammys but like calm down #like the lana stuff…. i’m sure she wanted a nice gesture to lana in the moment and had no negative intentions. she maybe should have thought #about it harder and realized it could be insensitive #just as easily if she didn’t take lana up people could have said LANA WAS ON YOUR ALBUM AND LENDED TO THE SUCCESS how dare you snub her #idk #i just get this feeling online that everyone is immediately perceived wrong or evil and then people get in fights about takes #it’s exhausting

From the sidestep asks: 21, 27 and 34 for sura?

under a cut to save everyones dashboards (sura uses he/she/they/it)

21. what is their philosophy? fake it til you make it. if you pretend well enough, you can fool everyone else. (jury's still out if sura will ever be able to convince itself that it's a human/person and not just a really good impersonation of one.)

27. what qualities might someone appreciate about them? what would drive someone away? thoughtfulness. sura's REALLY bad at admitting things or showing affection outright, so he often does it indirectly, making observations or acts of service. like doing things w/o prompting and passing it off like it's not a big deal/just makes the most logical sense (see: mending their crew's clothing when they get damaged on the job/making suggestions about chen's new arm, etc.). they like knowing what makes people tick and having that proven right.

however, they also want that to be a one way thing; they can do the perceiving, but someone perceiving them? illegal. blocked. they also do a lot of lying and evasion to push people away (part of the self-destruction - cut them off so it hurts less for all the parties involved). there's a reason why sura stays away from ortega, cos they're acutely aware of how well ricardo can read them (+ the secret crush. tho it's rather hard to disentangle the resentment with if it's attraction or just nostalgic fondness that won't leave). sura can't retaliate the same way cos of the static, so they feel at a disadvantage.

chen is still a danger, but at least he's not immune to their telepathy. things aren't quite so loaded with him. chen's bullheadedness also means that sura's usual method of arguing and getting contrarian doesn't work on him. they're both very used to the same arguments and the counters from pre-hb, and now... they're both just too tired to keep doing it.

ig sura's also pretty loyal once they've made a strong enough connection too. she protects his team and trusts them to do the same in return.

34. are they nostalgic for their sidestep days or eager to move on?

very complicated. past-self rivalry equals any feelings of nostalgia getting quashed by frustration at his past-self being too naive/trusting. that's what got them into this mess in the first place. sura's sidestep self is always the benchmark ortega keeps comparing them to (like the present self is a ghost, and ortega's only seeing the negative space/absence of the old sura). the suranga that wore the sidestep suit, as far as they're concerned, died. and all of his principles went with him. sidestep almost feels like someone else. and it’s not like their current self will ever measure up to the sidestep that ortega remembers. it doesn't WANT to be that person anymore. in some ways, it Can't!

(this is also why a worst-case scenario would be ortega thinking it's a regene copy. lol, whoops, this just affirms all sura's suspicions that he only wants the wide-eyed idealistic sura before the trauma and the bitterness that followed him around like a puppy.)

they don't want to be in ortega's shadow, or be a sidekick, that's largely why they took up the mob boss role - so that they could prove to themself that they're better than him. and chen too, ig.

Something something some twisted logic that destroying the museum exhibit = finally proving she's better than her past self/getting closure? (spoiler alert it was not lol.) sura liked helping people as sidestep. and on occasion they still do it, just more selectively, re: rescuing the civilians at carter's place w/ chen. (50+ villainy/ruthlessness score aside... i think they might chalk those instances up as flukes, but that's just a lie to convince themself they're not still a bleeding heart.)

#oc: suranga fernando #ramblings #sura has like. 10 million neuroses. i'm still discovering more cos its only now this little shit is getting to open up #d say id want to study her but. uh. maybe a little insensitive given the farm lmao #thank you for sending the ask in punk <3

niku!!! i come here with a jar of honey 🍯 for no reason other than i find the emoji so cute 🥺 but i also have a little note for you!!! 💌

i alr sent in a long mushy message during ur bday so i will keep this brief!! 🥹 but am so thankful for our friendship niku!! truly really 🥺 talking to you feels like going to back to my homebase or smth! you’re one of my first friends on here and am so glad that whatever brought us together, brought us together 🥹 i love exchanging ideas w u and also just being unfiltered sel w u 🥹 how we talk abt other random things too 🥺 ily 🥹

since this is gratitude themed, i also want to ask you!! what’s something you’re thankful for right now? 🥹 i hope this weekend is wonderful to you!! 🫶🏻

ooo i love honey!!

aw sel... i'm gonna cry all over again!! random things like... gojo's dick size LMAOOOOOO.

mmm. i feel like this is really a cop out answer, but i'm thankful for all of my little portable online friends.

i'm going to be rather real here and say that irl i'm a rather solitary person. i grew up as an only child in a single parent household and between working and... well, the other things she was doing, a lot of the time i was at home by myself as a child. adding to that, we moved around a lot so it wasn't really easy to make and keep friends. so when i was younger i usually spent my days cooped up inside playing games, watching cartoons, or daydreaming.

i've mentioned previously to you and have inferred as such on here that i feel kind of unapproachable and at the same time, i find it really hard to approach others. i'm not really a social butterfly and while i've come to accept that, it doesn't change the fact that it can be really lonely.

it really always brings me such happiness to get a message, whether it be an ask or a discord dm from like you or erika or mao or anyone really. and i'm so grateful that i have friends i can talk to these days.

#sel tag #i might have teared up a little bit #i am really being honest when i say that i really consider online friendships important #earlier this year there was an incident in which i was so deathly afraid of losing one of my online friends #i'd been really insensitive to some things they had going on #and when i think about it i still feel really bad #but for like i think it was maybe a two week period i was just so absolutely distraught over the whole thing #in all honesty one of my fics was written as a way for me to emotionally deal with that LMAOOO #but that's a different story hahahaa #thank you for popping in sel #ur lil check ups are always so cute

still not over that guy & his fam who all blocked me because i was like the easiest way to keep ur cats from getting run over by cars is to keep them indoors. they lost a cat to cars and their current cats still go outside. ok fam feeling guilty much. its not my fault ur cat died to a car. but it kinda is yours

#i need a tag for my own rambles #no im sorry cats shouldnt go outside. #mine i used to let them out but i know better now #every time i see something about a cat dying outside or getting lost and never coming back #im like pls just. pls keep them in #sometimes cats get out by accident and some cats will trash everything if they cant go out but even then there are other solutions #have a catio. fucking play with ur cats so they get enough exercise and stimulation #letting them out should only be last ditch effort if nothing else works #or in emergencies. i let my cats out supervised some days after we moved #so they know the area and arent scared if theres like a fire in the flat #or something else which means theyre safer out than in #but seriously this is just an emergency precaution and i didnt let them out of my sight when i let them out to get familiar with the area #my little evil baby cat she is thirsting for the opportunity to kill again and i will not give it to her if i can help it #indoor cats #yeah maybe this is insensitive to ppl who have lost cats to outdoor threats but also #cats dont need to go outside. the vast vast majority of cats are just fine if they dont #'oh but instinct... freedom' ur cat will use its instinct to hunt little creatures to deaths. thats not a freedom u should give them #ur cat will get run over by cars or mauled by dogs or tortured by stupid teenagers #thats also not a freedom thats great to give them #just keep them in
