#might as well just call her a friend

[starpros-sunshine]

If I loved Wataei less I might be able to talk about them more....

#You know what I also like. Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice (knows that's a quote from Emma) #Gosh I really need to read Emma #Been meaning to but I've just been chipping away at mansfield park because it is so long #and personally I find it rather tedious to read because...Well let's just say I'm not very partial to people marrying their cousins #I am aware it was not strange in ye olden days but it's one of those modern biases I can't really shake off #but I can live with it it's just something that makes me do a little displeased frown because honestly #that's the best match the poor girl could've gotten in that book there were no better options at least the guy wasn't a complete moron #as far as I can gage at least #but I guess that's my fault for starting with Pride and Prejudice I found my Austen otp in Elizabeth and Darcy I just think they're really #really neat #I originally got into Jane Austen because I have a classmate or well I guess friend would be a fitting term too although we don't really #talk outside of a school setting or outside of the group but I don't really talk to anyone outside of the group or school anyways so #might as well just call her a friend #but yes she is very into Jane Austen she's such an anglophile in the best way possible it's very endearing she can tell you a lot about tea #and such #but back to topic I got into the books because she liked them and we share an english class where we're the only ones from our little bubbl #so naturally that sparks conversation and what to talk about when two people who are into english novels if not english novels #I got her to read Sherlock Holmes and she still like Agatha Christie better #but I was very happy about that because I really like Sherlock Holmes #she's much more patient than some of my other friends if that's the right word so that makes talking easier #it's not fun when you can tell your conversation partner doesn't really care #so now I'm still trying to get through all the Auste novels I'm doing a terribly poor job at it #been at it since January how many have I managed to finish? two. #I'm listening to the audiobooks and listening to engllish can be very tiring and the lady that narrates has a very nice voice so sometimes #I fall asleep and lose the point where I was so then I have to start the entire chapter again and it's a whole thing really #but where were we ah yes Wataei #I love them I really do it's such a shame I wish I could articulate it and put it into words #but instead I have this feelings soup #oh for shame what a horrible horrible world to live in #I missed rambling in my tags I think if I'm too scared to post something I'll just put it aaaaaalll in my tags again

in terms of my other hobbies, I feel like every warm sunny afternoon finds me with my forehead pressed up against my back window, muttering ".......planting time? time for plants? plant?????" to myself as I stare at my empty tomato cages.

#you know. like a weirdo. #that said I did manage to successfully propagate my pothos plant! I've got weird glass-like roots sprouting #so thanks to the folks who suggested that; it's been satisfying. #(well. frustrating. but now satisfying that I have some evidence I might succeed!) #a couple weeks ago my mother and a friend of hers stopped by my apartment after their day in the city #and her friend called me a ''renaissance woman'' #and it was a bit of a surprise but also....yeah. actually yes. renaissance woman. #I do lots of interesting things; even if they're just interesting to me. #celestial emporium of benevolent knowledge

I figure now that we r in round 3, it would be a good time to expand on dog's deal specifically by explaining his context--bc he's very much defined by that + his story purpose, rather than his concept on its own! Welcome To My Beepo House.

tl;dr i made dog to be a friend-haver and a friend-maker and specifically be a friend for super :) a vote 4 dog in @sonic-oc-showdown is a vote for FRIENDS!

For beginner's context: for just under half the run of Fleetway Sonic the Comic, twisted evil killer Super Sonic is separated from Sonic physically, loses his chaos powers that compel him to violence, and ends up destitute in Metropolis Zone until a couple of minor characters take him in to live + work with them at the jazz cafe the Groovy Train. everyone say hi ebony and pyjamas :) I love the tension between this trio in how they approach the conflict of super sonic Being There, but ebony and pyjamas are also both adults and I see them as having more parental/grandparental relationships with him rather than real equal friends. so that's where dog and bebe come in :)

this is part of a canon divergence au that keeps the groovy train dynamic largely in place, rather than ending it with the comic. in the canon ending, ebony casts a spell that merges super and sonic back into the same body. sonic conquers super and things are alright for the end of the story. okay well i dont like that so </3 instead in this au, ebony hides super by merging him into *herself.* they struggle to live together for a bit until a minor villain (lord sidewinder) comes in and separates them, once again trying to harness super's power for himself. well he fails and they kick his ass and such. after this, the conflict between super and ebony expands from some of the canon conflict + the new merger conflict annnd now he can go make new friends at the skate park :) by doing what he does best: being sad and wet and pathetic until someone with a big heart tries to help him out.

i've been developing dog and bebe with the intent to make a nice balanced group between them: bebe is the Instigator, the Active member of the group, the hero-like, the leader. she's competitive, she's right, and she knows it! super's the rookie with crazy power, he's a fish-out-of-water most times but when it comes to a real fight he can be a heavy-hitter. he's cautious and deferential (canon low self-esteem behaviors), but he's coming into his own with the help of those around him. and doggy my special guy doggy is the mediator: she's the wingman and cheerleader, she's the helping hand that keeps everyone's heads cool. she's the first to trust and the first to forgive. she's a capybara: everyone's friend :)

ofc i hope dog's deal on his own is interesting enough to people! what if there was a capybara and he was nice and also silly :) but it feels so wrong to separate her from super... that's her buddy that's the reason i made her. my au characterizaiton of super doesn't get to happen from only knowing an older woman who believes he can do no wrong ever and an even older woman who doesn't quite trust him not to do wrong. he's gotta have a friend who doesn't care about all that super sonic stuff--in fact thinks super is just lying about most of it (that's okay, sometimes people need to lie about their lives and it doesn't make them bad or anything). someone who is willing to meet him without any of that baggage and openly invite him into friendship and a safer life :)

#sonic oc #sonic oc showdown #fleetway super sonic #bebe the quail #dog the capybara #HI ONE BILLION WORDS BC I REALIZED MY SUMMARY OF DOG IS SOOO BAD #you MUST understand she is here to be Friend she is chill bc shes Friend shes capybara bc shes Friend #SORREEEE THIS IS SO FLEET-CENTRIC BUT THATS LITERALLY THE POOOIIINT OF DOG SORRREEEE #do NOT separate them... #calling feeby beepo 'super' just for simplicities sake #but hes still fleet to me :) his name fleet #also bebe and dog are a balanced duo too! they were that way before fleet and they continue to be with him #dog supports bebe and holds her back. bebe stands up for dog and challenges him #id in alt text #sth #stc #sonic the comic #sonic the hedgehog #might post these pictures separate as well???? who's to say

enemies to lovers isn't "he's generally an unpleasant person to be around, he constantly puts other people down and disrespects/condescends/ostracizes them, he's cruel and a bully... but his one redeeming quality is that he looks attractive" like. bestie that's not a redemption arc!! or a redeeming quality!!! a person can and should control their behaviors, but how they look literally has no bearing on their worth as a person!

like... this trope is about an initial misunderstanding and miscommunication that leads to mild conflict and resentment of each other,but eventually they move past this rocky start by revealing to each other their humanity and good qualities, and communicating what happened the first time they met so that they can clear up that situation, and slowly becoming good friends who enjoy spending time with each other and eventually become really close, and the realization that one accidental mishap/slip in behavior/aashole mistake isn't what defines a person and sometimes your first interpretation of them is sometimes wrong!! an entire opinion of someone should be formed based on their behaviors, values, actions, and morals, and quality time spent with this person, not because they have nice cheekbones.

#and i can speak to this from experience #because i didn't outright hate this guy we just had very contradicting personalities and were polar opposites which is why we didn't #get along well when we first met #but then i realized how charming and sweet and kind and intelligent he was and i liked him so much for the same things #that I initially found as off putting and negative traits at first #and he had a similar experience with me and we found that our opposing personalities complemented each other #and THEN i noticed that he was literally so fine and had an amazing back and really nice eyes and a charming smile and good hair #he became one of my best friends first and the person i wanted to spend time with the most LONG BEFORE i ever found him physically appealin #or attractive at all #also this post is calling out middle school me because i read tlc and i wanted iko to have a love interest #and it was very heteronormative at the time too #and then the author literally didn't develop her or her love interest character AT ALL and designed them so poorly #and i didn't realize that this wasn't the correct way to do enemies to lovers #or that iko stood on her own as a character and kinney was completely unnecessary and so boring and bland aldjfkfkf #wait i might have to tag this #anti kiko #anti iko x kinney #the way I haven't thought about this book series in years akdjfkdmdl #enemies to lovers #tropes #anna speaks

loudly bitching about someone over the phone for 40 minutes straight at work while coworkers sideeye me. sorry. i have never shown this behavior before and itll be another two years before i do it again

#THERAPEUTIC. incredible things happening. #this person. me and this guy both love this person. but Oh my God. #he called to tell me abt something that kind of pissed him off last night and i started talking about a month and a half ago #why are we handholding this grown ass person thru fomo and massive control issues. well. it's not a dealbreaker but i might blow up one day #oscillating between 'yes i love them' and 'i've been pissed for a month and a half' #the horrors of having a interconnected friend group? it's really just two people i would really really hate to lose. others wouldn't be as #affected but those two. i love them. and AGAIN it's not a dealbreaker it's just kind of a buildup of behaviors. anyone remember my bitchy #post about the fomo/anxiety essay #also smaller things like Why are you trying to micromanage two disc servers that you dont have to lift a fucking finger in #um. my beloved irl if you see this. you didn't. i do love her to death. you know i do #the issue is if i put out all my issues they would take it really badly like they would act like it's the end of the fucking world #when i'm just like hey i am not your mother or your therapist and also stop trying to tell me what to fucking do #they would. um. lose it. #and some people are gonna get hit in the crossfire and i don't want to cause that. even tho it. wouldnt really be me.

3 having a big fat crush on the brig, but thinks the brig is straight (army man and ex-wife and all)

until brig starts saying some gay code shit ('friend of dorothy', going to brighton, knowing polari, etc) and oh, he isnt straight after all

anyway, 3 asks him out, and of course the brig accepts

and later 3 mentions that if brig hadnt dropped the clues, 3 wouldn't have had the courage to ask him out

brig has absolutely no idea wtf he's talking about

(it was all just a fucking coincidence)

#rambles #classic doctor who #3rd doctor #brigadier lethbridge stewart #brig might be bi but he has very little knowledge on queer culture and shit #man's been in the army for decades - and married to a woman - and is a workaholic #he just happens to have a friend called dorothy - she's his neighbour actually - she over waters her daffodils but she makes a lovely #victoria sponge! #brighton beach? well he just finds the scenery beautiful and people are friendly (plus the beer tends to be cheaper than in london!) #and he picked up polari because he just knew some people who spoke it. many sea merchants and navy men. You meet all sorts in the army #(especially because of national service)

Decided to turn my late kitty into a Lackadaisy character for fun.

Madam Stella, the fly on the wall. She always has one ear turned for new gossip, but her information isn't free. She knows something about everyone. But frivolous gossip is merely a hobby. Nobody actually knows what she does for a living, especially considering she's single and filthy rich. Hmmm. 🤔

Please keep in mind, I've only watched the pilot animation and the teaser for season 1, so please don't spoil me on anything. I'm waiting on the hardback volumes from the backer rewards to read it! But just based on what little I know of this series, I ADORE it!!

#my art #lackadaisy #oc #madam stella #I might fuck around and lackadais-ify my other cats/friend's cats #this is also my first time attempting lackadaisy style lol... #also the white whisker is not a mistake btw #stella always had one singular white whisker I couldn't forget that #also we called her madam/maam all the time so that had to be her title #her personality just fit SO well into this kind of scene I couldn't resist

I know i'm new to kdrama and all but I am simply not built for this first male lead vs second male lead formula, especially when the second male lead is an stupid little gremlin dude whose nose snots up when he cries (affectionate)

#so yeah this is about #castaway diva #and how much i am rooting for woohak #like i don't necessarily care about the ship i just want him to find joy and be appreciated #kang woo hak #ok w/e might as well vent about this in the tags #its the unhealthily attaching your past and identity to a single person #its the realization that you cant do that actually bc she's off learning the same lesson and also its your brothers past not yours #underlined by the fact that he gets to swoop her away without consulting anyone but mainly you #which yeah its not your place but where is your place now?? #its the returning to the feeling of bereftness when your entire family would tell you nothing #and NOW the only thing connecting to your past are the wounds of abuse #that you know you are also entirely capable of inflicting because given the chance you ALMOST DID #then you're telling the man you consider dad but implied to have only recently called himself your dad that he should've told you sooner #bc hes supposed to stop you from hurting yourself (and moreover from hurting your brother and friend) with jealousy #but there are things you can't be protected from #and now youre left with a lighter that you only get to keep because it means more to you than to the person who left it behind

Even the thought of Michael's farewell letter to Lousia makes me emotional, but what really got to me in the latest Greater Boston mini-episode was hearing Lousia refer to Michael as her best friend. Michael's arc has been about dealing with the loss of his best friend. And it was Leon's death which brought Michael and Louisa together in the first place - they might never have properly met otherwise. And now Michael is once again someone's best friend (someone alive, that is).

I don't think Michael believed anyone else could care about him as much as Leon did, but people can. Lousia does.

#Greater Boston #Greater Boston podcast #I'm pretty sure this is the first time she's called him her best friend #Direct recognitions of important friendships between characters I care about make me need to go and lie down #You know what would really break me?? #If Michael ever calls Lousia *his* best friend #Something about finding connection after - and even out of - loss #What Michael and Louisa have is not the same as what Michael and Leon had #but it's just as important #On a separate note I'm also obsessed with the concept of Michael's letter to Nica... #Thinking about how they didn't know each other very well #but Michael picked Nica up after Leon died beside her #Thinking about how both of them fell apart a little after Leon's death #Thinking about how Michael's letters have been giving advice and identifying traits that people might need to work on #and how Nica's biggest issue is arguably her self-destructive self-isolating tendencies #which are tendencies that Michael was displaying himself when staying trapped at 3rd Sight... #Louisa Alvarez #Michael Tate #Lousia & Michael #Greater Boston spoilers #the empty man posteth

[aaobjectionposting-va4]

Ok but can we talk about how out of all the major male characters that Ryunosuke interacts with throughout the story, van Zieks is the ONLY one that isn't hiding something from/lying to him at one point or another?? Sholmes lies about Kazuma being alive, Kazuma hides the fact that he's going to Britain as a hired assassin, Yujin hides details about the Professor killings from him in 2-2, Stronghart lies about... Well, everything really. Like there's so much I could say about him lol. Gregson hides the fact that he helped frame Genshin for the Professor killings, McGilded lies about having been the culprit in the omnibus case, Jigoku lies about having been the one to kill Gregson... Etc etc. I personally can't remember a single point where van Zieks was hiding things from Ryuu or just straight up lying about important things to his face. He's an ass to him at first, sure, but he's ultimately on the side of justice and finding out the truth, even if it means hurting his cases or having his worldview challenged (except maybe in the case of Klint, which I'll get into).

Now one might say, "Oh but didn't he hide the fact that he had a brother from Ryunosuke at first?". And to that I say... So what? From van Zieks' point of view, details about his personal life (and ESPECIALLY about Klint) are hard to talk about and, frankly, Ryuu really had no reason to need that info about him, other than just to be nosy. That's why he's so cagey about the topic in 2-3, and why he's (somewhat) more willing to talk about it with him in 2-4/5, because at that point Ryunosuke absolutely DOES need to know more about Klint (and the Professor killings in general). And as for Ryuu's point of view, he really has no reason to be asking about van Zieks' personal life at first, other than the fact that he's just curious about it.

Anyways. I really do believe that, despite how rocky these two's dynamic is at first, it's been built on honesty and straightforward-ness from the start, and I really appreciate how we have an Ace Attorney prosecutor who's more than willing to not hide the truth from his lawyer rival (even if he's making dunks on Ryunosuke half the time, lol)

#GOD im so glad i finally wrote. something. about these two's dynamic #like their dynamic is so underrated and it sucks because it's so good like!! #as early as 1-3 these two are working towards finding the truth no matter what it may be. even if it means they might lose #ryuu in 1-3 openly admits that the omnibus was tampered with even though that may implicate his client #van zieks in as early as 1-4 not only gives evidence to the defense that he 100% didn't have to give #(and that would potentially cause him to lose the trial) #but he also calls out the actual culprit and makes it very clear that he won't tolerate her hiding things from the court #he does this in 1-5 as well with graydon.. and in 2-2 with ms green #i'm currently doing my second dgs playthrough and i'm at 2-3 so my memory there is a lil hazy lol #but i do remember that in 2-3 he had an absolutely insane premise for his case and probably sounded like an IDIOT to everyone there #and it 100% feels like it was a way to subtly tell ryuu 'hey mr naruhodo you're smart you should have 0 issue ripping my case apart' #(to be fair 2-3 saw his one friend as the defendant so that's probably why he went through all the effort. but still) #anyways im obsessed with their dynamic and y'all SLEEP on it goodbye #va4 rambles in the tags #vu's posts #tgaa #tgaa 2 spoilers #barok van zieks #ryunosuke naruhodo #also to y'all who ship them you can absolutely ship tag this lol. like im not a fan of the pairing i just like their dynamic platonically #but tbh if you wanna use this as ship fuel then honestly just go for it lmao #o shit i almost forgor... their dynamic tag omg #reaper/resolve
