how come you do post much about gaza?
assuming you meant don't*? because this makes no sense otherwise? anyway
that you don't see my activism doesn't mean it isn't happening. tumblr is a terrible platform for activism, so I don't use it for that
#i won't pull up donation receipts for a fuckign tumblr anon#i won't sit here and try to explain that tumblr activism is typically restrained to tumblr. people rb the posts and never do anything else#people here notoriously do not click on links#so what i do. what i donate. where i protest. my household's boycotting. i do it and i talk to people about it but i don't do it here#because it won't do jack shit here and i'm trying to connect with people who might actually participate. for tangible results#sorry if that sounds Angry. it's because it is.#if y'all want to free palestine then you have to participate more than just reblogging. boosting voices is good but it takes more than that#tumblr rbs don't put pressure on politicians. they don't fund relief efforts. they don't pay for esims. they don't demonstrate organized#support for palestine in a Visible Manner to your city or state or country#they aren't disruptive#that's why you don't see me post on here. i'm trying to concentrate my efforts where they might do something#NOW. before you come for my throat. obviously there is nothing wrong with circulating posts about aid and resources to help#but then you should really consider like. contributing to those resources. that's key. that's the point. and some people here do! great!#i just. am more likely to be able to find and reach people who do in other places#maybe i should've said all that in the post instead of the tags but i really don't want to bring a bunch of misunderstanding down on myself#asks answered#'i wont sit here and explain' and then i did. damn

Okay so related to my post from last night, I wanted to elaborate on my thoughts very specifically regarding Sparrow and Hero and the messy messy nuance surrounding their relationship that often goes overlooked in the name of simply attaching the "bad parent" label to Sparrow and calling it a day. I've talked about this before, but I'm feeling it again lmao.
Sparrow's relationship with Hero is nuanced. It was destined to be nuanced the moment it was revealed that a prophecy would deem her the Chosen One. Now, I know we still don't know exactly when the prophecy was given to the twins or even what the full prophecy entails, but we do know it shaped Hero's life in an irreparable way. I don't need to tell y'all that much though, because everyone in this fandom knows that, they know what the prophecy did to Hero but I've been surprised time and time again that nobody thinks to dig deeper into their motivations: aka, why did the twins feel it was necessary to raise Hero the way they did? The easy way out is to say they are both horrible parents and call it a day (if anything is said of Lark at all- it's kind of appalling that most people absolve Lark of all blame and solely pin everything on Sparrow when they've always done everything together).
So let me explore one of the what-ifs. Say you are a kid raised as a normal kid having a normal life. One day, though, when you're a teenager, you suddenly inherit the legacy of your parents- their monsters, the end of the world, everything. Pretty akin to how s2 starts, in fact! Except while this is so sudden for you... turns out they knew the entire time that you would inherit this mantle, and they did nothing, said nothing, and now you're completely unprepared to face an eldritch monster that even your father and uncle couldn't defeat on their own. That would be pretty bad, right? Bad parenting on their part, knowing that this would happen and doing nothing?
"But that didn't happen!" you tell me, arguing in my tags and in comments under my posts. "Hero didn't have to face the Doodler!" Sparrow and Lark don't know this. As far as we know, they received a prophecy either right before or right after Hero was born saying she would be the one to face the Doodler. Normal wasn't in the picture, it isn't a question of if that would happen, it was when. What if Hero was a toddler? A child? A teenager? What if the two of them died and she was all alone in this fight? This prophecy was the only tell of the future they have, and it said that their firstborn would be the one to face the Doodler and finish the battle Lark started.
And speaking of Lark; I've said this before, but one of the more underrepresented aspects of Lark's character in the fandom is him feeling helpless as a weakness of his. He doesn't like being put in a position where he can do nothing- this being very apparent in recent episodes, when Sparrow was taken and Lark was left alone panicking. This is how the rogue card took affect on him in the first place, because he hated feeling helpless when Walter was injured and it invoked his rage at Henry for putting him in that position in the first place.
And the twins are no stranger to being dropped into a situation unprepared. They were only kids in s1, thirteen years old at the oldest, younger than the s2 teens and yeah they did their best and rose to the top but that doesn't mean they weren't kids in a world they knew nothing about. They have both been in Hero's shoes, with one caveat: they were the ones who could prepare her in a way that they were not, to ensure that no matter when she faced the Doodler, she would be ready, she would never feel as helpless as they had when they were also just kids.
And yeah, maybe they took it too far, pushed her too hard. But that's never the argument I see online- that the twins should've been more in tune with Hero's mental state and adjusted her training accordingly. Instead, all I ever see is people bashing them for training her in the first place, comparing them to the other kiddads... except even then, the other kiddads didn't have nearly as big of a stake in this as the twins did, nearly as much of the pressure. The world at the time when the kiddads inherited DADDIES didn't need Taylor or Link to be ready to face the Doodler, but the twins knew for sure that it would need Hero, and they had to raise her accordingly. What if it had happened when Hero was six? Or ten? Or thirteen? Would it have been fair to her then to go into that fight untrained? The twins could never have known that it would be Normal and his friends to actually step in and help the Doodler, at the time they couldn't have known that Normal would need to be involved at all!
And, in the end, Hero's training did stop. Again, we don't know exactly how it happened, but we do know Lark and Sparrow, and I can imagine we all agree that it would've been Sparrow's call, not Lark's, to prioritize Hero's mental health and let her finish her teenage years as a normal kid. And accepting that they shouldn't involve Hero meant they had to find an alternative solution. That solution, what we see in canon, was genocide.
It's very fun to me personally to see Sparrow's arc come full circle in that way. He gets the love wolf talk from Henry because the twins were going to kill a lot of people in their own quest, he agrees that would be wrong, and then he gets a full arc of realizing that he can't force himself to care about the rest of the world but he does care about his family. He cares about his family enough that he enacts Code Purple to send the Doodler to Faerun and save the lives of Henry, Lark, Hero, and Normal. And, later... well, we know what the kiddads plan was for reentering Faerun and collecting magic items. We know their plan was to blow up the Doodler using the Sun and inevitably wiping out an entire realm in the process. That's not an easy choice to make, and it goes against everything Henry taught Sparrow in s1... but Sparrow was willing to do it because it would mean that Hero wouldn't have to be involved. Sparrow loved Hero so much that he was going to go against his own morals to protect her and stop the Doodler himself.
And like to me. To me? That makes Sparrow a far better parent than anyone else on this app ever gives him credit for. He pushed her too hard, realized he did so, and was willing to commit genocide to ensure she never had to be the Chosen One, to prove the prophecy wrong. Like I said; it is nuanced and there's no telling how different things would've gone if the s2 teens hadn't gotten involved, if Hero had faced the Doodler in combat before she was ready, if the twins had tried the genocide plan sooner. But it does prove my point from my earlier post: everyone wants a morally grey character who is willing to commit atrocities in the name of protecting their family, and here we are with Sparrow Oak Garcia, who fits that bill to the letter, and yet he is villainized, portrayed as a horrible person and a horrible father, and more! And it's really frustrating cause I know if Lark had been the one to make these decisions it would be accepted under the guise of Lark just being "like that" as a character, or people would find it attractive because everyone agrees that Lark is morally grey in an acceptable, attractive way. Lark is nuanced, but Sparrow is nuanced too- but we know, we know that Sparrow loves his kids more than he loves himself, that he'd burn the world down for BOTH of them, and I think it's about time we stop sleeping on him as a character and stop portraying him as a villain in Hero and Normal's story when I truly believe Sparrow stands the biggest chance of all three of Hero's parental figures to reconcile with her and when he's expressed countless times that he wants to make things right with Normal if only Normal gave him the chance.

I'm so damn bored and feeling such a strong desire to share some OC stuff so I decided to share some of my favorite quotes from my characters because why not? I feel like it also helps me finding some motivation to finally start writing again.

𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒶𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒶𝓃𝒸𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓃𝒹𝓈 𝓊𝓈 𝓉𝑜𝑔𝑒𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇 ♡ PT.4
Tumblr media
EHEH *cries* GUESS WHO GOT THEIR *beep* PERIOD.... MEE! *cries again* ANYWAYS HERE IS pt.4 OF I FORGOT, jk, "The alliance that bounds us together"
FOR NEW PEOPLE, YES IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE TAGS NOR SEEN THE HEADER (picture above).THIS. IS. A. DOTTORE FIC BC I LOVE HIM UGGH.. before any Dottore hater comes in my replies saying I shouldn't write these fics since they ship the reader with a HORRIBLE person... go away. Your comment doesn't compete with my love for him ever since his unhinged little self came into the manga. I read the manga before playing the game and so basically ever since I started playing genshin, even though he never appeared in game he was my fav character (AND I KNOW HIS LORE, IVE READ EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE THAT REVEALS SOME OF HIS LORE, I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM)--(plus my post don't appear when at your home page so u either 1 follow me or looked at the tags so, you asked to see something like this- RANT OVER -
WARNINGS: should've put this for the last one BUT Dottore is named as "Zandik", mention of Pantalone (This shouldn't be a warning, just that I'm not going to put Pantalone in the tags cuz, this fic isn't about him so like why should I do that? MENTION OF TORTURE... NOT IN THE WAY YOU WOULD THINK THOUGH- READER IS AGED UP, SCHOOL = SOMETHING LIKE UNIVERSITY IDK- NOT PROOFREAD FOR NOW BECAUSE IM IN TOO MUCH PAIN, mention of the word : heck and hell
Summary: Just look at the part plz, this intro is getting too long-
You came back home safely. It felt as you went on a normal walk although, you had a particular destination that was not related to school at all. To you it felt just like a normal walk but instead of merely walking alone, you were with somebody to which you could interact with!
You decided to go on Zandik s' account, you remember not seeing any post, instead he only got tagged by accounts that you didn't care much about. The reason why they appeared on post/tagged was basically out of honor of sort. Heck, the Snezhnayan government even mentioned him on their post about how some particular doctor of theirs had figured a discovery that they'll look into professionally. Theirs? What did they mean by theirs? Did Zandik work for them. Already, you heard how the training to just become a soldier there was torture. Huh, good for him then. He was able to go through the stress of becoming a Doctor at the most demanding Akademiya AND he was able to put up with straight up torture the training gave him. You knew people were serious when they said you'll most likely die at the trainings then when you're actually at war. The Fatui had to set up their own healing buildings near their departments due to how many soldiers get ALMOST fatally injured. But yet, you found it weird. Neither did being a trainee in the Fatui nor did being a student at Sumeru Akademiya give you any breaks, so how did he manage to accomplish both and succeed further on. He looked young, possibly in his twenties. So, he couldn't really graduate and go straight to the Fatui. Since, trainings take 3 months to do since soldiers have to get to go in their camps in their group.
They take about a week if their lucky to walk to a certain destination in the middle of nowhere, yet they also have to go through the heavy snow, the icy wind while wearing a uniform almost made for the summer. They also have to go through storms on flat terrains which end in to soldiers getting electrocuted, through avalanches if their route makes them go by the edge of mountains during a storm. Then they get to site, yet you also have to know they are carrying all of their materials, even whatever they'll use as shelter and food to which they have to unpack and build on whatever terrain was given to them, whether it's bumpy or not, they decide whether they want to sleep in their sweaty uniform in a somewhat secured space or outside during maybe storms since that is the most frequent disaster experienced on a daily basis by the land of Snezhnaya itself.
After that torture, the next day they'll have to wake up early, most soldiers in training get 5 hours of sleep at that time. And then, for about more then two months wit their commander they'll have to go on expedition all while going through courses such as going on one without wearing any form of shoes or socks, they'll have to use weapons against enemy camps. If they get hurt, they have to wait to get healed only after they get back to camp, which leads to infections. They are forced to swim through cold lakes in the early morning when the temperatures are at their coldest. So on and so on.
So basically, now you kind of had an idea that one maybe he didn't work at all. But, on that particular post, they mentioned "past soldier" then they tagged his "@". And, you can't really join before the time you're officially an adult so basically older than 18 years of age. You decided that nothing really peeked your interest so you decided to see who was following him.
Huh.
How?
How was a harbinger following him if he was some random Fatui soldier? Was it usual for the 9th to follow all sorts of Fatui soldiers..? Maybe the ones he trains..? No, the 9th doesn't train since he doesn't fight...
Maybe the one who takes the 9th place of the 11 Fatui Harbingers, used to be a Student at that Akademiya. Both of them looked around the same age and both of them were smart enough to be at least decent at that school. But, wasn't there a rumour that Pantalone grew up poor, the fees of that school have a price that not just anybody can afford, unless they have a scholarship. But only those seen as "average" get them.
But, although the possibilities were rare... Could Zandik and Dottore be the same person all at once?
It would make sense though since, Zandik only said he went to the Akademiya. He never said if he graduated from it though. And Dottore has is past sort of well known to those whose work has been somewhat related to his. Now most people know that he was expelled from that Akademiya for his inhuman experiments but, one of the higher harbingers, supposedly the first, gave him the opportunity to continue testing those blasphemous theories of his.
But, it was late. You didn't want to ask him any questions. Maybe you'll ask him tomorrow at his lab.
Me reading this is in like one year wondering what the hell was I doing:
Tumblr media
Y'all reading the end basically realizing I did a cliff hanger once again (maybe on the verge on blocking (MAYBE unfollowing - 😒) me for being lazy and not writing the end bc I write right before sleeping-:
Tumblr media
YEAH UHH adding memes at the end of my posts is definitely something I'll start doing more because it's fun. *cries in cramp pain* I MAY START AN AO3 WHERE I UPLOAD ALL THE CHAPTERS OF THIS FIC- ANYWAYS BYEEE-

Honestly, makes me sad that a small (well... I wouldn't say small small but like not exactly popular?) fandom space is already dealing with shipping drama because no one can handle someone being squicked out by something, especially considering I'm a fan of said ship too. Like, someone disliking and critiquing a ship you enjoy is not a personal attack, what happened to 'don't let someone live in your head rent free'? Or fucking blocking/muting/ignoring and move on? It sucks the fun out when over zealous fans are complaining about someone who's supposedly complaining their ship. It's one thing if someone is like spam trolling the tag, it's another if they're like 'yeah this one isn't for me, please dni if you like this, thanks!' And as much as I enjoy this ship, it's kinda draining to see people try to cause discourse instead of just using the sites tagging system and blocking system to make things easier on both sides, because idc if we share the same interests, if I find out someone I've been following or someone that is my follower has been sending DEATH THREATS over A SHIP you're getting your ass reported. That's never cool no matter situation and especially stupid over fucking cartoon characters.
You. You get me.
You're right and you should say it. I wish I could like the ship more but I too am just drained by all the constant drama. I also use Twitter and on Twitter we had a massive drama over there several weeks back because several artists were pr0shippers and I'm already on the side of "I'm too tired and employed to be dealing with this" without this thrown into the mix. I'm tired. I'm done. This ship could've been cute but half the time, the ship is yelling at me so I'd rather not engage.
When I heard that this drama was (supposed) caused by one singular 14 year old posting in the tags, I let out the biggest sigh because like. I'm sorry. 14 year olds are going to say dumb crap in the tags sometimes. The other word for "minor" is "kid". This is a child we're fighting about. We are sharing a space with children because that's how websites be and we need to learn not to fight with actual kids.
Instead of once more stirring the pot and making people who don't like the ship but are quiet about it uncomfortable by once more stirring the "let's debate the age gap and why it shouldn't matter" pot, what should've been done is a "hey don't engage with this user, they're saying stupid stuff in the tags" and move on, because at the end of the day, yes age gaps even between two adults will squick some people out and we should respect that some person heard the "I watched you when I was a tadpole!" line and went "nope". Some people's yuck is another person's yum, as they said ten years ago. Maybe.
In short, this could've been handled way better than flooding the damn tag with arguing. Let's just block/mute and move on.

Sarah Stiles as Mimzy ...
...Now where do I know that-
Tumblr media
Oh FUCK NO!
Worst possible thing that could've ever happened. Least favorite character in Hazbin Hotel officially clocked just for- No wait.... Okay . I think I just changed my mind in real time ...
Because I'm listening to "Drift away" off screen right now and without the association of this stupid cringe arse character that I never wanted to see or think about or have big name weebs in this fandumb who have no life or frame of reference outside of their next cartoon craze and harry potter try to associate with me again... (Spinel). Sarah's voice actually very pussy cunt cunt slay and I can see her voice actually working for Mimz.
I am also closing my eyes and re-imagining the song to be Mimzy singing about her and Alastor's failing sex life and it's hilarious.
"Here in the garden, let's play a game..."
"Come here Darling... And let Daddy show you how it's done!"
"Happily wondering, night after night, is this how it works? Am I doing it right?"
Girl, no. He's a self loathing, chubby chasing beanpole of a man who just used you to experiment with a latent stuffing fetish that he doesn't want admit that he has and although there are other controversial reasons why you should've probably been retired as a character the second Al was confirmed ace, and maybe that just happened because someone realized that it was controversial to have you as a coupling in the first place, so they chickened out and claimed he loved no one instead of fully committing to having him fuck a fat flapper chick like they should have ... You deserve so much better, girl.
Another good thing about having a Steven Universe cast member join the Hazbin Hotel cast I guess, is that the overlap in casting officially proves that ~"Criticals~ calling Hazbin things like shitbin, trashbin, and Hazmat are officially as unhinged, if not terminally more so, then the ~"Criticals"~ calling Steven Universe "Shitvin". 💀
I guess this means that petitprincess1 can officially kiss my body rolls now and I want all the gray faces who can't reach me to know that I am stuffing cheese fries into my mouth as I said that. Bitch. 💀
Oh... and specific to this casting news this also means that aside from making this one post about it, I will also be blocking getting overly excited about Sarah in the tags and cross posting for her previous work on a now long finished kids show just like I'm doing with all the posts in the tags about Jeremy Jordon because you all need to calm the absolute fuck down. 💀
Also, in the spirit of killing everyone's joy and being as unlikeable as Mimzy herself is in this fandom, this is my official announcement that I personally will not be fully accepting of having the word of god say that Alastor is ace or aroace until his sexuality is explicitly mentioned, shown,or explored within the canon text. Why? Because controversial or not I've always felt as though going from having Alastor being in love with the only fat character in the narrative back then to just loving no one at all as having this strange undercurrent of fatphobia to it to begin with even if it might've been someones well meaning attempt at fixing a problem and I love Mimzy, and since she's gonna be voiced by Sarah now and people are probably gonna make the inevitable angsty association between the song "Drift Away" and Almimzy as a pairing like I just the fucking did, the whole undertone of "I'm Ace because I didn't like fucking this fat chick" is just gonna become an even more glaring issue for as time goes on, even if it isn't there, unless we get a canonical explanation as to why Alastor is ace that doesn't have anything to do with their relationship. And even then, we still don't know how Mimzy will be treated by the narrative, let alone by Alastor, and there's still no guarantee that Al's aceness WILL be explicitly explored or if it's just gonna be another "Princess Marco Turdina" Situation, even if it's word of god this time round or not, and I can still respectfully disagree with some aspects of the way this is handled and interpret word of god in my own way. And some of you are like, militantly overprotective of a fictional serial killer to the point where you're past being obnoxious and it's become concerning and you're probably gonna throw a tantrum for being dissatisfied with what you get anyway and end up dropping the show, so...
I'm not sorry that for Al and all his boys and his girls and his Mimzy, I just choose love ... Bye! 🤭🌹 X.O

Maybe RWDE gets its reputation because so much of it is deeply toxic and bigoted, and blatantly so to people who don't obsessively hate the show.
First of all, come off of anonymous, coward. If you're gonna say something with your whole chest, at least have the guts to have your icon say it to Max Goof's face. XD
Second of all, once again, the call is coming from inside the house. Here's a link to a post with a lot of screenshots of tweets and youtube vids and fucking trash from the corporation you're spending your time defending and specifically Miles fucking Luna. Condemn that on your own blog, show me a link, and then come back. Also condemn the fact that Kerry Shawcross literally said that they used Ironwood's new black prosthetic to symbolize his loss of humanity. Also, show me where you've criticized things like people saying Ironwood should lose his prosthetics so he'll be 'helpless' as comeuppance for his mistakes. Show me where you've called out people hypersexualizing the women in RW/BY in their fanarts, because that ran rampant in y'alls tags for awhile. Show me where you've called out the person who said my sister was being 'ableist against herself' for having seen some of her own Autistic traits reflected in Penny, who told her that Penny obviously hadn't been enough of a person to actually have character traits, so my Autistic sister was being ableist to suggest they shared similarities. Show me where you've called out the people who misuse and vilify terms like 'narcissist' and 'psycho' and use them to just mean 'bad person' when that's literally ableist. Show me where you've called out the person who made a post saying that the RW/BY fandom was no longer accepting criticism and then when people (including my younger sister) said that was dumb, they called everyone cunts. Fucking say something about all that, because from where I've standing, all you care about is what you think you can use in order to excuse the fact that you're attacking people on the internet for daring to say something bad about the content you like that you were too sensitive to see. If you actually did care about these issues, you'd be calling out the bad in the content of RW/BY, calling out the blatantly horrible actions of the company or some of the writers, and also calling out the horrible behavior of the fandom. And you'd be doing that openly on your own blog. You heard I was sent death and rape threats and the only thing you have to say about that was 'well maybe people don't like RW/DE for a reason.' Ummmmm??? You think you have a moral highground??? XD
ALSO: Bring receipts, friend. Tell me how I'm being bigoted instead of just throwing that around with no backing. Was it when I said that the two white writers Miles and Kerry shouldn't have made an allegory for real life racism that centered around taking down the bad freedom fighters who are selfishly using the cause for terrorism instead of, you know, fighting the system that oppresses the Faunus? Was it when I said that Whitey McWhiteWhite Schnee should've at the least apologized for her anti-Faunus bigotry and that it wasn't cute to say 'Blake is discriminated against by people treating her like an animal' and then having the writers do things like having a friend/future love interest lead her around with a laser pointer and never addressing that as bad? Was it when I said that writing badge carrying law enforcement officers and glorifying them as paragons of virtue and then doing things like making the fact that the Ace Ops answer to authority rather than just themselves part of why they're bad but Team RWBY isn't? Was it when I said that there should have been queer rep in the main cast by now and that it's annoying as a queer woman to be continually told to 'just wait' despite the lack of censor and the fact that the writers have been promising main character rep since like volume two? Was it when I said that MKEK needed to do better with their disabled representation than several villains, two side characters who wound up getting benched with every main character forgetting their existence and Yang having had such a small amount of screen time in volume four only to be written by the entirely able-bodied writers to say that her prosthetic was just extra? Was it when I said that it was sus as hell that the first black woman in a position of power was killed within five minutes of screen time? Was it when I said that a group of majority male writers specifically purposefully writing a story where a young girl was written to go through tons of shit like getting her bodily autonomy ripped away from her and then having her body forcibly removed/changed her without consent (consent under threat of death isn't consent,) only to beg a man to kill her as her supposed only choice she'd ever made despite having clearly made choices before then was a pretty fucking big red flag? Literally, tell me how you think I'm bigoted, and if it's something like 'you're obsessed with Ironwood' (I'm not, he's not even a blorbo,) or "You hate that girls are allowed to be powerful" (untrue, as I actively want the girl characters to be more powerful,) or that I'd be happy if the men were in charge (again untrue, as I actively complain about Jaune and Oscar and even Ironwood getting so much screen time) then just save it.
Also, last point I'm gonna make, but if you really think I'm obsessed with this show, you've got a big storm coming. I've been thinking more about Jack and Davey from the Broadway Musical version of Newsies than I've been thinking about RW/BY. I've been thinking more about the DCOM Descendants Universe more than I've been thinking about RW/BY. You literally get such a tiny snippet of my life, and then think somehow that it's... All I think about. And it's just more proof of how actually disconnected from reality you are.
Get some guts, my dear pal. Get some guts, go touch grass, get well soon, hope you stop simping for Miles 'She's only sixteen' Luna enough to actually realize your show is deeply problematic.

I was going to do a headcannons post about Diego's backstory and why he became a lawyer, but I thought I'd be fun to write all my headcannons into a fic instead. Trigger warnings are in the tags.
I glanced across the sheets at Diego. He was lying on his back with his hands behind his head and his eyes closed. 
“Can I ask you something?” I said, eventually. 
“You can ask me anything you want, Kitten,” he replied, without opening his eyes. 
“Why did you become a lawyer?” 
“It's in the family. I was pretty smart and observant, even as a kid, so I guess it was inevitable.” 
“That makes sense.” 
“My parents are both prosecutors. I was going to be one too, actually.” 
“Really?” 
“Mm hm. They're the ones that wear all the fancy outfits and make all the money, after all.”
“Don't I know it.” 
He chuckled at that. 
“So…what made you change your mind?” I asked. 
He rolled over onto his side. “Well I watched all these prosecutors in court, studying their ways, and…they were just so antagonistic. They have to see the worst in the defendant all the time. I just couldn't imagine myself doing that.” 
“Were your parents upset when you told them?” 
“Nah. I'm kind of a black sheep of the family, but that's fine. A true lawyer learns to respect those on the other side of the courtroom. Prosecution is a fine occupation, it just didn't sit right with me.” 
“I don't think I'd be able to prosecute either. I don't know, the thought never really crossed my mind.” 
“Were you born into a family of defence attorneys or something?” 
“No, no, nothing like that. My father was an accountant. But he passed away.” 
“I'm sorry.” 
“Don't be. I was only a child, so I don't remember him much.” 
“What about your mom?” 
“Well…She's actually from a long line of spirit mediums.”
“Spirit mediums?” 
“I don't…know if you know what that is.” 
“I don't know much. Something about being in tune with dead people or something?” 
“Mm.” 
“And it's a family business?” 
“It should've been. But I had…other things in mind. So my little sister took over the clan, she'll be the next head after our mother.” 
“I didn't know you had a sister.” 
“I guess I don't talk about myself very much. Her name's Maya.” 
“And she's into all this…spirit stuff?” 
I nodded, slightly nervous of his reaction. 
“You'll have to teach me more about it sometime.” He rubbed his eyes, tiredly. 
“Maybe. I know it's…not exactly favoured in the legal world.” 
“I can imagine. Doesn't sound like something you'd lose your badge over, though. Unless you tried to use it in a case.” 
I said nothing. 
“I won't tell anyone, if that's what you mean.” 
“Thank you. It’s just that…when I’ve told people in the past, not all of them have reacted like you did.” 
“What do you mean?”
“Lana completely brushed it off, she doesn’t believe in it.”
I tried not to let that fact upset me. In all honesty, there were a lot of nay-sayers out there. It just felt different when it was someone I was that close to.
“She doesn’t believe anything she doesn’t see with her own eyes,” Diego said.
“You’re right. I suppose that’s what makes her such a good prosecutor.”
“So you had all this spirit stuff laid out for you, but chose a different path?” 
“Basically.” 
“Was there any reason? Or did you just not want to talk to ghosts your whole life?” 
“I, uh…it’s a long story.” I rolled over so I was facing away from him.
“Is that your way of saying you don’t want to tell me?”
“It’s my way of saying…I don’t know if I want to tell you or not.”
“That’s fine. You don’t have to bear your soul to me, Kitten.”
“I appreciate that.”
He scooped me up in a spoon position and drifted off to sleep, holding me close. 
That was almost two years ago now. We don't sleep in that bed anymore, curled up close to each other. He's stuck on his back, in a clean, strange, hospital bed, while I sit here and watch him, begging him to move or make a noise. He no longer looks or smells like himself, but I know he's still in there.
I wish I'd told him about my mother. Even if he couldn't help, he would've understood. He would've understood me a little better. 
I hope I get to tell him one day. I'll wait.

More observations no one asked for!
I'm on day five of SSRIs, and physically I feel like butt all the time -- but mentally? I feel so much lighter? Like, I'm still all here, but the bottom has been brought up in my moods, and the floor I stand on inside my head is bigger and more stable. I'm chattering more. I'm worrying less. I was almost late for work the other day because for the first time in maybe ever, I wasn't spending half my prep time worrying about being late.
I hope that all lasts. I hope the physical symptoms pass (bc they really suck).

Heard back from the cardiologist! He said I had a few premature heartbeats but nothing Big Or Scary and he doesn't think I need more tests unless something drastic and news happens! Whew! No arrythmia, no murmur, though maybe I need to exercise more and strengthen up.
You guys, I'm so relieved. It's been more than a month of being afraid I have a secret heart condition like my cousin that dropped dead.
The next appointment with my other doctor is a full physical, so if it's something not cardiac making me feel funky, hopefully there'll be a clue there!

Roman ideas that should've caught on instead of the ones that we still have now:
Rich people are obligated to build public works for the people
Temples to gods we haven't met yet so they aren't ignored or fogotten
Days where the rules are reversed and the normal folk can decompress
What else?

I've said this stuff in the tags of a few posts recently, but I figured I'd put all my thoughts on Homestuck: Beyond Canon in one post so I can go back to it if I end up accidentally predicting anything.
I'm tentatively hopeful, but I also recognize that this new team is still working with everything that happened originally in HS^2 and the Epilogues, and that holds some of my biggest gripes with post-canon. While I don't think it is impossible to overcome those problems going forward, it's gonna be tough and I can see the new team not addressing them or even making them worse.
Also, the writing is slightly mixed. It is definitely better than og post-canon, and it even tops a lot of og homestuck, but there are parts that really pulled me out of it.
Referencing memes is something og Homestuck did a lot, and I didn't like it back then and I hate it just as much now. Terezi referencing the berries and creme shit and the how hungry meme really pulled me out of it, and felt very jarring and not too funny. Tho I will say that Sollux No Bitches was actually good, and I think that is because it felt like something he would say without knowing what the meme was.
Outside of the meme shit, the writing was pretty good. Definitely some of the best homestuck writing there's been, and leagues ahead of HS^2. I never thought I'd see John and Sollux carry a scene together but it was great.
Now for some hopes I have for the future
Apparently a lot of the team are Jade fans, so I'm really hoping this story can treat her well for once. HS^2 started that by having her break free from Alt Calliope's control in probably the best scene in HS^2. I'm very hopeful for Meat Jade, so I'm really only looking with caution towards Candy Jade. Her husband has been uploaded into a robot and gone rogue, her kid has been kidnapped, and she's just had a really embarrassing secret revealed to her friends. There is a chance the narrative takes a really cruel turn with her, so I'm nervous but hopeful.
Staying on Jade stuff, we need to give Yiffany a new name. Give her a nickname like Vrissy, have her change her name, anything please. Just call her Tiffany, I beg you.
Make June happen. If I'm being honest, June should've happened all the way back in the Candy Epilogue. That was the perfect moment for it narratively. Make June happen and make it good, please.
Make Kanaya an actual character. In Meat she is at her best, but she is still very quiet and very one note sadly. Her wanting to go on a quest of vengeance to get back her wife and beat up Dirk is great, and I hope they lean more into her anger this time instead of her just being sad and quiet. Candy is definitely the worst of Kanaya. I'm not opposed to the Rose cheating thing, but I have two main problems with it. First, the framing it as Rose just doing it as a friend to Jade. It would be much more interesting if there was some sort of emotion there, but whatever that ship has sailed. My second problem is with Kanaya just taking it without any problems. She just kinda shrugged and went whatever. I want to see Kanaya actually do something and vocalize what she wants. Please
Finally, I want them to treat Jane better. I'm going to be honest. This is one of most likely not going to happen at all. Candy Jane has been shoved neatly into the evil villain role, and I can't see a way for them to dig her out of that. Maybe they could do something with Meat Jane, but I have no clue if they are going back to Meat Earth C. They were doing stuff with that in the patreon exclusive comics back in the day, but I can 100% see them dropping those storylines to focus all their efforts on the main story. If they somehow do something good with Jane, I will be over the moon, and this entire mess will have been worth it.

I woke up unnecessarily at 3:30am today because I was annoyed at a friend. My father passed away recently (Before he passed away, I forgave him for hurting me. Although, technically, I'm still mad at him for hurting me.). Anyways, I woke up annoyed because of a friend, who was selfish. She made my situation all about her.
When we were texting each other yesterday, she talked about how she almost lost her father (How does NOT losing her father comfort me losing mine?). Then, she talked about losing her aunt YEARS AGO (She should've mentioned this situation, not her father's situation.). Yes, these situations emit similar emotions, but they are TWO different scenarios. Because she mentioned her aunt's passing, which again, happened many years ago, I was forced to send her condolence.
WTF?!?! This time period is supposed to be about me!!! It hasn't been that long since my father died. I'm still in mourning, but she decided to talk about the people in her life that made her sad. I understand that she was trying to relate to me to comfort me, but she did it very wrong. Unfortunately, all I could do was just let her be. I lost sleep because of her. Maybe I'll take a nap later to make up for it. Since I'm up now, I might as well continue working on my dad's obituary (My one task during this entire funeral process.)....

Why am I not allowed to point out a mistake that a person made or an uncomfortable action that said person did? Nearly every single argument that I've gotten in with a friend/family member where I tell them they made a mistake or they did something that made me uncomfortable, it's always "HOW DARE YOU SAY SUCH MEAN THINGS TO ME?!?!, but never "Oh I didn't know what I did was wrong." That's legitimately the whole point of how relationships work. Something goes wrong, it gets pointed out, and then it gets resolved.
And yet why do I keep getting involved with Narcissists or with people who want to only misunderstand me? Why do they only focus on HOW I say things, instead of WHAT I'm telling them. Just because I have a strong personality, it doesn't mean I'm a terrible person. Why is it so hard for them to understand where I'm coming from? Why do they only see the situation(s) from ONLY their POVs? This is why I sometimes wish I was more mute, instead of deaf. If I can't speak, no one thinks I'm rude, even though I never intended to be. I'm the type of person who never intends to hurt somebody. Yet, me voicing my opinions/thoughts are never right to ANYBODY.
It's not fair to me. That I'm the one who's ALWAYS wrong in these situations, never them. There's nothing wrong with pointing out other people's mistakes. That's what society tells you do when in any relationship, so why am I the ONLY one who's always the bad guy when my only intention is to help? This is getting exhausting....I don't know what to do anymore...

My #1 post of 2022
Wow! I’m an idiot 😓
I got scammed via Instagram. A friend of mine, or at least I thought it was my friend, asked me to vote for him for a special program as long as I send him my phone number ( My actual friend doesn’t have my phone number. ). I thought nothing of it because my friend was asking for help. So I gave “this friend” my phone number and all of a sudden, I get a notification that someone was trying to enter MY Instagram from the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. Afterwards, I practically called this person out on their scam, but they kept denying it. 
At the same time, I was messaging my other friends about this as a precaution and one of them told me, that the person I actually sopke to was a hacker. And told me to block the account and to change all of the passwords connected to my phone, which I did. And I hope everything is good now. 🤞
Ya’ll for anyone with Instagram or any other social media accounts. Be cautious of the messages your friend sends you. If the message involves clicking a link or anything weird like that, their accounts could’ve been hacked. Learn from my mistake! 🙏

Who thought that having a club meetings after work is a great idea??? You spend the whole day with those people and when you just want to rest, nope you have to go bowling (or do another activity) with your colleagues or new people. Sounds like an introvert torture activity.

All of the sisters are so interesting. We even finally found out why there are not 4 sisters (as in original book) but 3 which was such a hard story to watch.
The older sister Oh In Joo seemed a little bit naive at some moments. Later on we get to know her more and the whole trauma she had to go through, it's amazing how she's still loving toward In Kyung instead of being jealous.
We also see how smart she is, searching for the clues about her dead friend, and also finding out so many things (maybe she should've been a journalist, jk jk)
I can't wait for sisters to come together with their own clues and find the answer.
The middle sister Oh In Kyung, is very interesting character too. What got me the most surprised was probably her drinking tequila while working and it wasn't the mouthwash after all! Still surprised that it was tequila because it's disgusting to down, has a specific smell and also more expensive than soju (I'm guessing).
But when she found out about their dead sister I broke down with her. Yes, Oh In Joo, knew everything all the time and didn't go to a rich family afterwards.
However, the feelings she's probably feeling the most is guilt. Forgetting about the sibling, leaving her family to go to her rich grandma (though it wasn't probably really her choice).
The little sister Oh In Hye is as strong as her other two siblings but the drama keeps reminding that she's just a child.
As she goes into a lion's den and gets manipulated not only to betray her sisters but also into thinking that that's the best thing she could do to run away from poverty.
As much as you want to scream 'Don't trust them!!' you have to remember that she's just a teen.
Of course she will feel humiliated by her drunk sisters' actions. Of course, she would feel horrible after taking everything that her sisters' have and wanting to get something by herself is admirable.
Because as much as the stereotype goes about youngest siblings being the most spoiled you can see that even if it's true, it becomes a burden rather than something she enjoys.
All I want to say with my rant is that all of the sisters are so interesting. I think I can also relate even a tiny bit to each of them which makes them more realistic. It also helps with falling in love with the drama as everyone has it's own flaws.
How would I not relate to a journalist who tears up easily when I'm one... Not really a journalist, just a journalism graduate lolol.

what would've made the portwell break up SO much better is if we saw Gina actually be a "maybe" to ej.
The whole season we saw ej trying his hardest to be with her, even before the letter from his dad. It's not like he didn't want to be with her, he definitely did. ("A perfect show is how I stay with you.") But Gina was barely trying to help. Ej said to miss Jenn that he was underwater with the show and didn't want the others to know. But was anyone helping? No. Even his girlfriend who loves theater just as much and maybe even more as him? No. She saw the rcosl thing as a chance to make ej jealous instead of talking to him. Do I think Gina was obliged to help him? No, definitely not. But I feel like she should've recognized his stress earlier and talked to him about it.
She was never a maybe to him. Ej always tried his hardest for Gina, even when it meant skipping out on fun camp events during his last summer to be a kid. But ej was a maybe to her.

Corbin's line in color war "unless you praise nickelodeon, its going in the doc" is so funny to me bc of how many hsmtmts actors were on nickelodeon at a point
Josh, Julia, and Matt were all on game shakers. Josh and Julia had more minor roles but Matt was in like three episodes, one of them being the series finale I think.
Also, remember bella and the bulldogs? Matt was in a few episodes of that as Zach, bellas crush and eventual partner, I think. Idk I haven't finished the show yet.
Oh Matt was also in the weird nick movie (at least i think nick had something to do with it) Alex and me as the older brother of the main character. So yea, I'd say in between 2015 and 2018 Nick LOVED Matt cornett
And saylor was in an episode of Henry danger!

Few more thoughts and rants abt the show:
S1 chase. Specifically in the early episodes. Everything about him was just so adorable (except spike ofc). His hair, his voice, his outfits, everything just makes me want to squeal while kicking my legs up and down like a child.
Did Donald mention Douglas to tasha while they were dating? Like did he ever say "I had a brother, but he died a while ago." I'm curious.
Once I finished elite force, disney plus had the nerve to be like 'because you watched lab rats: elite force, watch lab rats" I DID AND IM BAWLING MY EYES OUT BECAUSE OF IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Sometimes I genuinely forget it's a kids show not only because of the multiple terrorists that show up, but because of how it changed my life. I think of chase, start to smile uncontrably, and then think 'oh right he's from a disney xd show'. It's just such a weird thought, you know?
Kaz's pigophobic line.
Naomi being Leo's half-sister and they didn't even mention him in the episode she showed up in.
Not sure if I already mentioned this, but why did Douglas and perry show up in more episodes than Donald. Also I think Adam was mentioned once and Leo was mentioned once if anything.
Elite force just refuses to acknowledge the existence of those two characters. In 'the list' when we see kaz playing with the bionic action figures, Adam's isn't there. Why tf not?
Do kaz and Oliver have last names?

Hey, Alice! It's 🎶 anon. I've been struggling with my mental health recently, so I haven't been on Tumblr for the past couple of days. But yes, I do have a plan to build an audience. When I get done writing my first book, I'm going to publish it on Wattpad, and hopefully, it will spread to people all over the website and maybe even get noticed by someone important, who will then reach out to me.
Also, yes, I love many genres of music, including K-R&B, K-Rock, & K-HipHop. I, too, am a DPR Live fan! :D
I was wondering if you wanted to be friends on discord so we could talk about music and writing and other fun things! If so, I'll dm you my discord username and tag (although, then I guess I won't be anonymous to you anymore lmao). If not, that's okay, too.
Also, I seem to have gotten back just in time for some more Tumblr drama. Yay me. I would like to give my 2 cents, just because I am part of the community that the two people involved offended. First of all, I'm seriously tired of people throwing slurs around like confetti. Why can't people just be fucking respectful? It's not that hard. And if you use the excuse of "I didn't know it was a slur" then maybe you should've looked it up before repeating it. If you have access to Tumblr, then you have access to Google. If it seems like a slur, then it probably is, and you should educate yourself before you go around saying it like an idiot. Second of all, I am appalled at what the first person said about eating dogs. All my life, people have used that as a way to get under my skin. It almost seems like this person was trying to offend Chinese people. It seems like they just thought of the most insensitive thing they could say, and said it. And the fact that the second person backed them up instead of correcting their behavior just shows that many people care more about defending a friend than doing what's right. Lastly, I'm too tired to get into the third person that defended the second person, but I really hope the first two learn from their mistakes. Hopefully, someday they'll look back on this and cringe at how they acted.
hihi 🎶 anon !! 🥰 omg i’m sorry you haven’t been feeling good :(( definitely take some time for yourself and to practice self care if you find that to be helpful <33 also that sounds great ! i started on wattpad too but i just wrote fanfiction there 🤧
AHH YES I LOVE DPR LIVE AND IAN i actually got to see them perform live !! they’re so good 💗💗 and yes ofc you can send me your discord username through asks if you’d like and i wont post it :’)) i’ll have to apologize in advance tho my reply game is not strong HAHAH 😵‍💫
oh gosh yeah the situation that had blown up 🤧 that was an entire mess and i hope it’s done with :// i agree tho i don’t see why people feel the need to throw around slurs as a joke, and the dog eating comment was so off-putting :/ like even if you’re saying that as a comeback, you’re just pushing that disgusting stereotype back to chinese people ?? when you’re not even chinese ?? also i believe they’re sisters(?) i think but yeah i was very shocked by the behavior i saw and they’ll definitely regret acting this way in the future.

Sad about Brian leaving CR in part, I think, because it’s caused me to think about the time when either Critical Role ends or it changes so much from what drew me to it that I don’t watch anymore. It’s not a totally new thought, and hopefully the actual event is years down the road, but it’ll happen. Matt will retire, or cast members will start leaving, and the chemistry will shift to the point where it’ll still be pretty good but not good enough to invest 4+ hours a week in. Exandria Unlimited really highlighted for me how far they currently are from having anything that could take the place of the flagship campaign. I’m sure they’ll learn from the experience and recalibrate before they do another canon series set in Exandria with someone else behind the DM screen, but it’ll never be the show that won me over so completely when I first started watching. And that’s life! But man, I hate being reminded of that.

He remembers that day.
"There they are!" The gruff voice boomed through the dry grasslands, grey and soft clouds covering the sky. The grass swayed gently with the cold air. A storm was coming.
"The mysterious Moors, where no one dares to venture!"
His wings stiffened, his eyes widened. This was not your voice. 
"Well I say, crush them!"
He took off, his wings moving swiftly in the now suffocatingly thick, icy air. He landed on a rock, right across the army.
The King's army.
His pupils were slitted, and shone with an ominous, dreadful green color. He glared at the King in disgust,
"Go no further!" He shouted, his voice basically vibrating through their bodies. The King was shaken for a moment. Fae were truly much more different from humans.
"A king," he hesitated, before a foolish and smug grin stretched his wrinkly face, "does not take orders from a winged elf!"
The army laughed, and the air seemed to drop in temperature even more.
"You are no king to me." 
His voice cut through the field, and the laughter quickly turned into hushes and became silent.
"Bring me his head."
A war cry.
--
"My lord?" Red eyes peered from the dark, an unusual ruby like color, that somehow glimmered even in the shadow. "There seems to be a celebration."
Malleus glanced at him from the corner of his eye. "A celebration? Curious." His fingers dragged along an old brick windowsill-like structure, a continuous scratching sound following. He rested his chin on the back of his hand,looking at the sky and sighing deeply. 
The pain on his back still ached.
"Yes there seems to be.." the boy hesitated.
"Yes? Go on." Malleus now played around with green aurora-like flames that delicately balanced on his fingertips, no longer interested in the ugly,grayish-yellow sky.
"There's been a boy. The Queen has had a child."
"Oh" Malleus blinked for a moment. He thought of you. For a moment his chest hurt. He took a deep breath.
Malleus paused for a second, the green flames absorbed into his palm once again, he stared expressionless at his empty palm.
"A grand celebration; for a baby." He said out loud. The boy stepped a bit closer, coming into the little light that slipped in through the rough brick like windowsill. Red, slitted eyes looked expectantly. 
---
"You will not have the Moors! Not now; not ever! You!-"
He flew backwards, a sudden flash of pain stung his skin.
Iron.
The skin promptly healed, but the pain still echoed through his body, dull and unbearable. He stared at the struggling body of the King, as one of the Dark creatures approached his side, the army retreating and distant cries of anguish.

It was only a few days later after that. He should've seen it. He should have known better. They're humans, after all; what can you expect?
He never suspected you. A part of him wishes bitterly, that he should have. That he should have turned you away, that he should have never met you, that maybe, just maybe, that day he should have let the guards just kill you instead. 
A different part of him does not wonder. It stays silent, and it pushes down the horrible thoughts he has, it tugs on them violently, ripping and dragging,until they quiet down, like a feral dog left to a wicked hunter.
Like a crow caught in a net.
"Ha! I've got ye!" The man smugly spoke; rather barked, at the crow that helplessly flauntered in the net, desperate to get out. The dog also growled at the crow.
"I'll whack ya-"
"Into a man" a flick of his wrist, and the crow started to enlarge.
The man sputtered and stumbled back, looking in sheer terror at the crow that started to deform and grow, it's "caw"s deepening and its skin stretched as its feathers brittled off what seemed to be its back.
The man ran away with his dog, and the crow- boy, now, pulled the net over his head, staring at his fleshy, new hands in horror. Malleus moved out of the dry tall grass and approached the short boy.
The boy eyed him suspiciously. "What have you done to my beautiful self?"
"Would you rather I let them beat you to death?" Malleus responded, coldly.
"I'm not certain" the boy looked over at his new body.
"Stop complaining. I saved your life."
"Forgive me"
"What do I call you?"
"Lilia", he turned to face him directly, "and in return for saving my life, I am your servant."
Malleus simply looked at him expressionless.
"Whatever you need." His ruby eyes lowered in respect.
"Wings." He whispered. "I need you to be my wings."
---
"She did this to me, so she.."
Lilia stood across, his eyes lowered. Of course, he thought. He was the only fae without wings.
A loud, thundering beam of vicious green light roared into the sky, swirling the clouds violently. It flashed across the windows of the castle. Malleus gripped his staff in a death-like grip, his knuckles white. The beam slowly retracted into him again, a bit of the magic gently wavering and trickling around him, greatly contrasting the violent shock that stretched the sky apart a few seconds earlier.
"Now what, my lord?" Lilia's voice was barely above a whisper. 
Malleus turned around and walked towards the heart of the Moors, thundering, dark clouds taking over the sky.

"The Queen seems to be sick"
"Oh?" You looked at Sebek, hint of concern in your eyes.
"Of course her highness is being tended to, but.." Sebek was gazing in the distance, lost in thought
Your hand trailed across the Palace walls, bedazzled window frames to sturdy and smooth gaps between them. The weather has been very bad recently, and the windows would sometimes vibrate from harsh gusts of cold air blown at them. You'd suspected a storm was coming, for a few days now, but it only remained the same, constantly teetering on the edge.
"It would be most unfortunate if she were to have gotten a bad case of the flu." You commented.
"No, some of the nurses suspect she's pregnant."
You stopped for a moment, and Sebek stopped beside you. No one else was in the hallway. "She is?" You didn't bother hiding your surprise.
"They suspect so. Some of the castle workers are hoping for some sort of celebration, either when she's announced to be pregnant, or when the child has been given birth".
You turn your eyes away for a moment in thought. A child.
You continued walking ahead, not giving it more thought. Sebek followed close.
---
"They've named him Silver"
The window in your room creaked a bit. The weather had calmed down a bit during the previous 9-10 months, and it was finally safe to open the windows without strong wind sloshing everything around in your room.
You overheard from one of the Palace maidens. The boy had beautiful, aurora colored eyes. Speckles of silver dotted his head, where hair had started to grow. The boy got most of his features from the Queen.
"They- they're going to hold a celebration!" He looked at you, frantically tapping his pockets to check for something, "they invited fairies from the Moors!"
You stilled for a second. It must have been the Queen. Only she may have known about it. Or the King was simply mocking you.
"Yes, Sebek,and we ought to welcome them.", you got up from your chair and walked towards the door, and Sebek followed closely behind as he stumbled on his words. You didn't quite notice the crow on your windowsill, or it's unusual red eyes.
