#nemesis is good and all

[sad-endings-suck]

so bf of taigen to recover from life threatening wounds, just so he can hike all the way to kohama village from master eiji’s forge, buy the best food you can possibly find there, hike all the way back, and then proceed to promptly plop said food right in front of mizu and watch her eat all of it. dosen’t even blink. those dumplings are a childhood nostalgia food for him and he did not eat a single one. literally recovered from his injuries just enough to leave on his own, solely so he could go get food for mizu, and only for mizu. he didn’t get dumplings for anyone else, not even himself. he hates kohama, but he’ll go walk straight into the village centre that smells like the fish on his dad’s fists, just to purchase the only good thing from his childhood in that place, proceed to enjoy none of it, and offer it all to mizu with absolutely no expectations.

#blue eye samurai #and of course it doesn’t make up for his bullying and other utterly condemable behaviours towards mizu. that’s not the topic of this post #or my point rn #my point is the very personal selfless act of kindness he makes almost naturally like it is breathing #‘’​he’s not a good man but he could be a great one’’ #‘’… he (Taigen) BELIEVES he loves you (Akemi) very much.’’ - Mizu #oh mizu he’s got it bad for you #and she knows it #taigen blue eye samurai #taimizu #blue eye samurai meta #no you don’t get it #for ONCE in his life this man doesn’t take the opportunity to complain #that’s crazy #taigen’s all time favourite hobby is complaining. so if he’d really rather buy food for his nemesis/future bf/gf then he’s down BAD #mizu blue eye samurai #mizu x taigen #mizu #taigen #taizu #mizu/taigen #bes taigen #bes mizu #blue eye samurai analysis #mizu bes #taigen bes #taigen/mizu #taigen x mizu

very curious what are everyone else's words that you know how to spell correctly but also cannot for the life of you spell correctly. every time you use it you just know you're about to fuck it up in so many ways. mine are lose/loose, exercise, and rhythm

#shitpost #random #we're not going to talk about how badly I just spelled one of those words trying to include it in the post #listen. i KNOW how they're all spelled #i know english I'm rather good at it #but also for some reason I always mistakenly use the wrong lose or loose even though I know which is which! #and ough. exercise my nemesis #i fuck it up SO bad every time #autocorrect often doesn't know what I'm trying to say #and rhythm. you'd think it'd be simple but i can fit so many h's and y's in that bad boy where there's only supposed to be one of each #i am. in fact. a writer. quite a verbose one. i know words but these...these vex me

It has been such an interesting ride seeing different people's INTENSE emotions toward Volo and Kamado both good and bad. It shocked me so much how many opinions people had about them. When I'm playing an rp game I'm always kind of a go with the flow person who only really cares about npcs after all is said and done(with rare exceptions) because my brain can't balance story and "the grind" at the same time and MAN was I grinding. The story analysis is always a separate ordeal with me upon a replay or me watching someone I know play through it. So if you want the pov of a main character who literally could not read the room or intentions(false or otherwise) that's me.

So my first playthrough perceptions of Kamado and Volo were "Big boss who gives my boss big progression missions to give me so I can go to new areas" and "wait who are you? Bro, why are you even here? Stop following me. I literally don't care!... Who are you again?" respectively.

And when shit hit the fan my response to Kamado was "Ok? It will suck to not be able to change my hair, but I literally have only been in my room like once to change my eye color. :/ So your loss I guess."

With Volo it was like "oh it's this guy again. *reads name I forgot* Volo, my dude, why are you like everywhere? I don't want to buy your shit." Then he proceeds to kick my ass. That got my attention at least. <- person who didn't play gen 4 and didn't know Cynthia outside of art.

qkjqhq ok it is very funny to imagine a protag who was VERY deep into the arceus-mission grind-out-these-quests (since the quest system is like. literally in-game on your arc phone) and did not even register anything else going on. ok yeah sure whatever kamado can you stop talking uhh (squints) vo.. volo? what do you need. something something plate? hang on let me check to see if my god phone approves of- oh look beep beep a quest objective. yeah sure i can do that let's get a move on

anyway i think we are sort of polar opposites in this regard bc i. can't NOT think abt my protag and the story while playing any game. i'm the rp build person it's my one weakness. in my first (fully blind) pla runthrough i picked up the baneful fox mask and decided i was playing a straight-up zorua who managed to con their way into jubilife by pretending to be a very weird child (love ya wish <3) and then got VERY attached to everyone including kamado during the course of the story. second and third (current) runs were just akari and rei the default protags. i guess this maybe isn't that surprising considering i also just admitted to trying to keep my protag on a decent sleep schedule. it's called immersion

#the nemesis speaks #the nemesis answers #dargonics #wish was so desperate for kamado's approval & also prone to hiding behind him when unfamiliar ppl showed up (pack leader!) #anyway what i'm also thinking abt is trying to feed this poor child. in rp. obviously they won't let me actually eat #but there's food items i could make and then give to my pokemon or throw out #but like kid you can't just eat some potato mochi once every three days and call it good!! not with all that work you're doing!! #IMMERSIVE GAMEPLAY #wish protag

this image kills me because like yeah i know it’s just placement cause britta lundin’s a rvd writer (one who is my arch-nemesis for her crimes) but it’s the realest fucking thing ever. like of course ethel would read ship it by britta lundin. of COURSE ethel would read the Jensen Ackles Homophobia Moment Published Rpf. the Book Whose Premise Is The Time Jensen Ackles Was Homophobic At A Con (Featuring A Fujoshi Protag Who Is A Tumblr Microcelebrity) (the sad emotional climax of the book is her deleting her tumblr account) (on account of trying to blackmail the showrunner of the supernatural stand-in into making not-destiel canon and instead it lead to him deciding to kill the jackles standin’s character off bc he was beefing so hard with this teenager) (the book OPENS with the protag watching gay porn in her school library for reference for the not-destiel fanfic she was writing and then she goes into a Not Like Other Girls monologue about how she’s not good at tying a neat ponytail without missing a beat from the gay porn she was just watching) (it’s a book that haunts me i read it for laughs and i think everyone should do this) literally of course ethel would read this

#now was this book very bad. yes. Was this book insanely funny to read. also yes. would ethel love it? YES. #anyway as a WRITER britta’s my utter nemesis but as a COMEDIAN well she’s so funny #as a writer she sure did write the ep cheryl outs moose for no reason AS IF SHE HADNT JUST BEEN SENT TO CONVERSION THERAPY #HER ASS WOULD LITERALLY NOT DO THAT BRITTA. BRITTA WHY DID YOU WRITE THIS. /SHE WAS SENT TO CONVERSION THERAPY/ BRITTA #but to be fair we also have her to thank for “i can’t keep playing brokeback riverdale with someone who’s still in the closet” #so it’s impossible to say whether it’s a net good or not! #anyway. ship it was the most haunting read of my life and i think we should all join hands and experience its woes #riverdale

all i know about dangerous romance is from gifs but i just really vibe with whatever side burns and his nemesis have going on

#dangerous romance #sometimes i just look at gifs with no intention of watching the show but still form an attachment #all i know about them is that they obsessively compete (??) and fight and they should kiss #having a nemesis is so gay good for them

Poll adventure (paventure? lol) Day 16: read the small story tidbit below the poll for more details, OR just vote based on initial impression

(✦ see past poll results + further information HERE (link) ✦)

Yesterday's poll decided that The Adventurer should offer to help the travelers with their broken wagon.....

~

After much internal deliberation (and some zoning out staring at butterflies), The Adventurer decides it would be best to offer his assistance. Technically, he IS still following his goal of not getting distracted, because theoretically it would make his journey much faster if he were able to catch a ride on a carriage. So really, this is all an ultimate big brain genius strategy for maximizing efficient travel.. Or, at least that sounds like a good enough justification to him.

Gathering up all of his social courage, he approaches one of the travelers fiddling with a broken wheel near the far end of the carriage and meekly asks if there's anything he could do to help.

The man was so focused on his task, he seems initially startled to look up and find someone near him. "OH..! Oh, uhh.. help? With the wagon?", he smiles pleasantly, gesturing towards a few wooden boards that are just out of his reach, "Sure, kid. If you could just hand me th-"

"Apologies, but we actually won't be needing your assistance, stranger." A taller man, surprisingly almost matching the stature of the Adventurer, suddenly slinks out from somewhere behind the carriage, sternly placing himself like a barrier in front of the man working on the wheel. Wheel Guy nervously averts his eyes, making himself smaller, silently resuming his work.

The Adventurer tries his best to maintain composure against the weight of the tall man's bitter gaze, but can't seem to muster much of a response "Aeughh,,, uh… b-but, h- Bu--HHHh,,?.."

"Look, disregard whatever my father told you, he's old, never has any clue what he's talking about. It'd be best for you to simply move along." ('Father'? They don't look alike at all, and seem to be nearly the same age..)

"W-well.. he.. he didn't really tell me anything, I me-hhH,,.. I mean, I literally just got here, s-so...."

"Good. Even more reason to be on your way."

Placing a gloved hand firmly on his shoulder, the tall man begins to motion the Adventurer away from the wagon, but a strange noise interrupts, echoing from inside. Perhaps some sort of animal sound? Or a person faintly yelling about something? Or… both?

"WH-wHggg… whAT was t-that???!!" The Adventurer immediately stops in place, pausing to listen as the tall man keeps trying to push him ahead.

"I didn't hear anything, stranger."

"No, t-there.. was dEFinitely, UHH, a-"

"Likely something in the forest."

"Wh--aah... d.. do you think it was an animal?"

The tall man continues a dramatic struggle to 'subtly' drag him further down the road, whilst the Adventurer mindlessly digs in his heels, too distracted to even notice he's being so strongly prompted to leave.

"Many animals do, indeed, exist within forests. This should not be suprising."

"...It's just.. ..eughh… s… so weird…"

"I assure you, it is not."

"I-it really sounded like.. like it came f-from insid-"

"Yes, from inside the forest. Now, please, if you would.."

The noise interrupts again. It's definitely someone, or something, in some sort of distress.. And definitely from inside of the cart.

"wHoAAGH, aa!!! T-tHat's NOT from the f-forest, that-"

The tall man fully just shoves him now, sending the Adventurer toppling across the dirt, clumsily rolling and landing just past the other side of the carriage. A mother and young child who seem to be part of the traveling group simply stare down at him with empty blank gazes, wholly unconcerned about helping him up.

As the Adventurer fumbles back to his feet (still confused as to why he was even pushed in the first place), the tall man looms by the carriage, diligently watching to ensure that he leaves.

"Travel safe, stranger."

Despite his initial obliviousness, the Adventurer begins to piece the situation together as he stares back at the man, now fully convinced something suspicious might be going on...

…What should he do next??

The longer I am alive, the more my brain replays that scene in Lilo and Stitch where the scientist is watching Stitch fret around at night, and the scientist says something like, "poor thing, doesn't even have fond memories to keep it warm at night" or something

As a kid, I didn't realize how comforting memories could be, and I rarely had the luxury to create them.

I am glad I survived. It would have been easier, with fond memories to comfort me during painful times. I have many now, though, and they are indeed good company.

#i wish id sat in more trees and watched more falling stars and snuck out to watch the first colors of sunrise over the river more often. #i wished id understood how to make friends. i wish i could have been vulnerable enough to make friends. i wish surviving hadnt been a #constant struggle. it is what it is. sometimes when i was a kid id wonder if my future self would have more love for me. id ache for it to #be true--for someone to know me and still love me. and i love that younger version of myself so much. they did so good. it all hurt so #terribly but they did so good anyways. i am very proud of them for fighting through the bad things so i could find unimaginable happiness. #like life is still really hard but like...idk. i never knew id ever have a comforting friendship. i never knew someone would love all of me #its so precious to me--to exist here and now with a wife and a partner and a cat. to cherish my body and view it as a ally rather than a #nemesis and failure. this has been a big year for Learning To Be Gentle With Myself and ive found such a quiet restfulness. its peaceful in #my brain when all of the terror settles down and allows softness and quietness and gentleness to exist in my brain. #sorenhoots #and i have memories that are so warm now. they grow like a struggling garden but they grow. someday theyll grow like weeds i hope. ill do my #best to keep planting them.
