#no bad blood between us

[breanime]

Accidentally sent a picture of my boom booms to my ex-slam piece... Oops 😅

#i sent him two messages to warn him #so hopefully he reads them before opening his snap lmaoooooo #we stopped slamming cause of distance so #no bad blood between us #i just dont know if hes seeing anyone right now so #dont wanna put him in a situation 😅

sorry for speaking my truth it will happen again. i think my main issue with valax’s redemption arc is literally just that there’s never a moment where the mc gets to actually talk to her about what she did—there’s not really a cathartic conversation, so valax and mc moving past what she did to them feels less like forgiveness and redemption and more like an agreement to ignore the elephant in the room

like sure we got to talk about our trauma (in chapter 17 of 20. lol. lmao, even) to the party, but valax wasn’t present for that?? and like, sure, she says once that she is sorry “for the pain she caused [them]”, but there’s a difference Tew Me between “sorry for hurting you ig ✌️😗” and actually being like “yeah, i abducted you and forced you into a magically induced coma and stole your blood and robbed you of a full year of your life and repeatedly tried to murder you, to say nothing of the grief i caused your loved ones. i did all that shit and i’m sorry for it and deeply regret it, and i acknowledge that you don’t owe me forgiveness, but i will spend the rest of my life working to build a better world for my people instead of being my mother’s pawn”, and a difference between “my mother is unhappy with me for saving you :(” and actually like, giving the mc space to talk about the impact of her actions towards them. like girl you are not getting out of this shit with one sentence’s worth of apology and a sex scene lmfao!!!

during the first half or so of the book the focus for mc is not falling the fuck apart bc they have a friend group to tentatively piece together and they’re averse to showing fear in front of valax, so they’re repressing all their trauma—and by the time valax joins the party, the narrative has gone full Valax Cool And Good mode, and fully allows you to flirt with her and tease her and generally stops taking her seriously as an antagonist. which would be all fine and good if we had actually at any point gotten to be like, “hey, you abducting me and keeping me in a magically induced coma and stealing my blood and trying to kill me has actually caused me a lot of lasting fear and pain,” followed by some set of choices wrt forgiving or not forgiving her for all that in light of the revelation that she did all that shit bc her mom tortured and brainwashed her

like why are my friends more pissed off about the time this bitch abducted me and did evil little experiments on me than i am. free valax she did all that shit bc of her mommy issues but i should’ve gotten to call her a cunt just once. pb stop making all your mcs generals in the idgaf war challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

This is your reminder that ambiguity in a (competently written) story functions to force the reader or viewer to engage on a thematic level, rather than a literal plot level. In other words, you don't "answer" ambiguity with conspiracy-grade theories born and "proven" through easter egg hunts and counting breadcrumbs. The thematic answer, the message of the ambiguous part of the story, should fit regardless of whichever of the likely possible "answers" is the "true answer." Because in cases of ambiguity, the thematic answer is the "true answer."

Do with that what you will.

Kang Yo Han is the walking embodiment of I'm Not Okay (I Promise) and relates to Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge far more than is healthy. In this essay I will-

#twabbbiih's edit #tdj #the devil judge #tw blood #kang yohan #kang yo han #a character study via legendary emo classic Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge #I put so much effort into this I really hope the fandom enjoys it #I know I don't exactly go here in a big way but guys please #girl does a tdj rewatch for the fun of it and spirals so far into making bad edits she has to try and figure out how to just get the text #from an album cover to make a mock one like some unhinged loser who barely knows how editing software works #you guys have NO IDEA #I spent an entire night pestering mid-n0vember about how this album is perfect for KYH 2 years ago and so finally I did something about it #to the end has especially been rattling around my brain for WAY TOO LONG because that is not a house or home to KYH #it's a constant reminder of the people he's lost and the horrors he suffered due to the utter shithead that was his father #ive been debating between 2 edits i did for that song for two nights and I've ended up picking the more literal one because I didn't want #too many close up images of peoples faces for this. but just know there is a file on this laptop of kyh crying while hes literally haunted #by memories of his father #I really did try to use a shot from the knife scene for the album cover because it would have been SO GOOD as a mirror to the original albu #however my editing skills are not good enough to make the background less distracting and I'm working with not HD images so it looked worse #so a moments silence for what could have been #no one asked but its 2am and that means oversharing so #Interlude absolutely had to be the on a line by itself because despite everything else going on with KYH keeping Elijah save is Rule One #it's supposed to kind of overshadow everything else because keeping her safe and unaware of Certain Things absolutely does for him #whether it actually translates is a different matter #kgo being on his knees (yet again) is what swung it for that picture otherwise it would have been kyh looking on as jae hee grabs her

I was reminded of the time that tumblr tried to make "monster high but with tumblr sexymen", and one of the characters was (obviously) the daughter of the once-ler.

And the funny thing to me about that is that in the canon of the illumination lorax movie, the once-ler is heavily implied to have an estranged daughter. I don't know all the sexymen off the top of my head but I think he might've been one of the only ones referenced in that trend who actually had a daughter in his own canon.

#Stupid shit #I'm gonna provide context in the tags for those who want it but I also like the idea of just leaving it there #Okay so for anyone who wasn't in the fandom: when people say the movie gave us no one to ship the Once-ler with they were LYING #The movie gave the Once-ler no MALE characters to ship him with - thus Oncest started #However - the second most popular Once-ler ship was between him and Norma #(Who - if you haven't seen the movie in a while - is Ted's grandmother who tells him about the Once-ler and how to find and barter with him #This was mostly just a ship born from theory and logical deduction - why does Norma know so much personal info about the Once-ler? #Were they perhaps friends? Lovers? In the past? Where was she in his life and at what points? When did she leave? #And people started making theories and shipping the two - primarily as past lovers. But there was art of them reconnecting for sure. #HOWEVER - this also meant that there was a theory that Ted's mom was also related to the Once-ler #As in - hmm this daughter of a very short fat woman is oddly tall and thin... hmmm #And so the running theory wasn't just that the Once-ler and Norma were once lovers - but that the Once-ler was also Ted's grandfather #Who was entirely estranged from the family due to self-exile and possibly bad blood between him and Norma at some point during his downfall #(I actually do think that it's funny that the Once-ler's youngest design purposefully draws some comparison between him & the Truffula tree #Only for the character theorized to be his daughter to also evoke some Truffula tree imagery in her design) #ANYWAYS that was a theory for about as long as the movie was out - Normaler (the ship) was a thing for as long (if not longer) than Oncest #And was present enough that there were like actively flame wars between the two groups of shippers #Like literally I directly remember this it's so insane to me that no one ever brings this up when talking about the shipping in this fandom #BUT THEN!!!! The Lorax comes out on DVD. The fandom rejoices and everyone takes pictures of themselves buying or holding the DVD. #If you dig far enough and I haven't deleted it yet you might find mine. I was in full cosplay wig and all. #Anyways - we have the movie in HD now!! No more cam rip footage!!! #And now we can take high-quality screenshots that truly show off the detail of the backgrounds in this movie #(The fandom loved to gush about how detailed and well-designed the movie's backgrounds were - that wasn't just a throwaway transition) #Only - what's this????? #In one of the shots at the end of the movie - we very briefly get to see the inside of the Once-ler's lurkim - like the living room #AND THERE - IN THE BACKGROUND - ONLY VISIBLE IN HD #IS A PHOTOGRAPH OF A WOMAN WHO SUSPICIOUSLY HAS THE EXACT SAME SILHOUETTE AS NORMA #Normaler fans rejoice and 'Grandpa Once-ler' theory is accepted into canon (or - more accurately - 'implied canon') by most fans #So yes - for those keeping track - while the evidence wasn't as concrete as it could have been #The Once-ler is implied to have been the father of Ted's mom in the movie

I'm sorting vaccinations out for going to the US and I think Americans would genuinely have heart attacks if they found out British people (Idk if any other Europeans do this or anyone in general) have 'Chicken Pox Parties'.

Basically, if someone's child has Chicken Pox, they'll encourage their other kids (If they have others) to spend more time with their ill sibling. The 'Party' bit is more for the actual gatherings just for Chicken Pox. The parents will invite any of their friends who also have kids, or other parents they get along with from their kid's school, with the intention to make all of them end up with Chicken Pox. We have a massive 'herd immunity' mindset for Chicken Pox.

My sister had it the full three times. I used to sleep in my sister's bed as a kid because I didn't like sleeping in my own room, and I still did this when she had Chicken Pox. I had it once (Maybe twice but I can't remember), I have a scar on my arm from one of the spots. It was gross but we were never scared of it, it was just normal for us, it was like any other cold.

#I'm not gonna say it's not that bad because I don't know US history #And also I know there are still kids that die from it and that's not something I want to make light of #But I just think it's crazy how different the views of it are between us #And that I'm gonna have to pay money for a blood test to prove I'm immune #Because it's not something we're vaccinated against here like it's not mandatory/legally required to do for kids #Parents just do it themselves when the kid of someone they know has it #And then we just spend a few days/a weel or two in bed with it #My sister had it THREE times tho I swear she had it so many times 💀 #She is always sick tho so I'm not surprised. But she does work in a nursery now so that's one reason why #But I swear her immune system is shit 💀

really forgot i saw harry's backstory on my first playthrough of 3 like first time i opened the game. No good deed (being a curious little boy) goes unpunished (the most depressing info dump) i guess.

#luly talks #im trying to find more screenshots. No i wont evne use them i just need my facts straight #did yall see what happened yesterday. yall didnt see it. that dog himself walked into my house and had to correct me in a very like #basic thing i forgot #ON SUCH A SHIT FUCKING BAD POST. #i literally told blood its like if you were drunk on a family dinner talking shit about the bible and jesus just walked past and corrected #ou and just kept walking like HELLO?????????????????? #its the one pointing out the similitudes between henry and callum btw look at the notes #im also rlly glad i didnt sya anything weird bc im. so fucking crude

[droolfang]

AND IF YOU THINK IM NOT DRAWING A WHOLE MESS OF MAXIM WHEN I GET BACK. OHHH IVE GOT THINGS. I WANNA DRAW.

#fangsasks #its okay tone and intent are only so communicable over the internet #there is no bad blood between us

im considering moving out of the dorms next yr... and i just saw that my friend put a thing up on her ig story looking for flatnates next yr.... idk if i should ruin my friendship w her just to move out of the dorma... :/

#by 'ruin' i mean we havent talked at all this yr. we barely talk actually. but a few yrs ago she was one of my closest friends #and theres no bad blood between us. but ive always heard that living in flats w friends usually ends up bad for one person or another #and i kinda dont want that yknow :/ its already hard to maintain relationships w friends to have to add living in a flat w them #where i can fuck up my friendships LMAAOOO #z xarre

[inverse-problem]

me online: wow robots that run on blood that’s so cool. whoa look at that art of that dude totally getting stabbed and stuff, neat

me offline: -sees some blood and has to go find a fainting couch-

#genuinely hoping that I get less squeamish over time from being in this fandom #I go all vasovagal at medical stuff irl and it’s very inconvenient #granted with blood tests I’m okay at least bc being on hrt got me used to those #but every time I have surgery and have wounds I have to not look at them while they heal or I start passing out lol #anyway idk just thinking about how funny this contradiction is for me #it’s funny bc it can be really bad sometimes #if someone narrates a story about injury in too much detail I have to go lie down sometimes #I managed dissection in high school biology class but had to sit with my head between my knees a bit #inverse problem.txt

so felix and i broke up, and it was me who initiated it, and not that anyone needs an explanation into everything but we’re actually super chill and super cool about it. i mean yes, it hurts, but i’ll be okay and felix knows we both still love each other but i had to make a decision that honored who we both are and realize that there was something pretty fundamental that wasn’t compatible between us and he understands and agrees and basically: im single again but just had a wonderfully mature and honest breakup, and i’ll always love and be felix’s best friend and one of his biggest supporters.

kinda weird to be single but not really since i did spend all the rest of my life being single before this lol

#harmony speaks #but believe me when i say i’m completely okay - felix and i are on excellent terms and there is 0 bad blood between us

[vigilskeep]

well. sebastian does say "precious anders" line anyway. happy uhm. happy divorce i guess! that being said, as somebody with numerous sebastian-centered playthroughs, i still think he is experienced best unromanced (partly because flirting options exclude some of his lines about elthina and. well. isnt his obsession with her part of the appeal)-- but hes character of the century in any case.

HE DOES??? 🥳🥳🥳 happy divorce omg. genuinely thrilled. thank you brave soldier

i am excited to see more of what he has to say this playthrough. his rivalry is actually pretty important to how i see keir so i’m really invested in seeing how that plays out fully, because i have elaborate hcs abt them trying to kill each other post-game which mean the world to me. if there’s no supervillain era sebastian with andraste-style crown and a white cloak streaked with blood from my reaver hawke attempting to tear his throat out with his teeth then what’s even the point of it all. i need them both to be insane abt it. its my vision

#sebastian: i never wanted this fight to be between us hawke. we were allies once. you say you should have cut me down where i stood #that day but you did not. and perhaps it is because ultimately you know what he is. you know that i am right. #i know you care for him. let me relieve you of this burden. there need be no blood on your hands #keir literally with sebastians blood dripping from his mouth: You Want To Fuck Me So Bad It Makes You Look Stupid #<- abridged version of all my scribbled writings on the subject #sorry to normal people enjoyers but i need them to be freaks here

It is so weird to see art made by my best friend when I was in middle/high school go viral!! Particularly when that artwork is about long distance friendship!!!!

#the mutuals are reblogging it bc it’s beautiful and heartfelt and they don’t even know! #I’ve met op’s parents!!!!! #I have years worth of our email exchanges saved in the depths of my email!!!!!! #they were my first real best friend!! #there is both bad blood and love between us!!!! #their artwork hangs on the wall of my bedroom!!!!!!!!!! #something something that post about painted over glow in the dark stars on the ceiling of an air bnb

[psalmsofpsychosis]

i like to play a game in which i ask myself "are you actually insane or have you been talking to white people too much"

#i dont mean it in a bad way but— yeah it has very specific affects on me #my culture is very warm blooded and fiesty #on a good day these people's breath could melt off the snow on the tips of the mountains that surround us #and white people make me feel like i have misplaced my rib bones #sometimes in a good way. my warmth can be unconventional and unexpected #but sometimes it's insanely lonely to be in the psychological and emotional vicinity of whote people #you've built a thousand years culture around distance #distance between yourselves and distance between you and your emotions and distance between you and the environment #on an individual level that's as foreign and fascinating to me as watching a north pole animal #(and i come from a desert culture) #and on a social level it's pure cultural shock; in my country i'm considered very very normal #for my need to express emotions and hug and kiss and touch people and be loud #and i start to feel like an three headed alien when i'm around white people mentality for too long #like no i dont understand your incessant need to be mild and moderate and ''sensible“. i dont want to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that's not how we do it here
