#now that he is more yours than hers!

[nataliesscatorccio]

nobody callie breaking up with her boyfriend posting?! nobody kyle as jeff lite? nobody callie afraid of what her mother could do to him? nobody callie afraid of what She, her mother's daughter, could do to him? nobody kyle as a version of jeff that shauna doesn't have anymore? nobody kyle, jackie taylor's version?

#no im sure it has been said but still let's talk about kyle some more! #Callie breaking up with him the way Jackie would have ofc broken up with Jeff #''I was the high school boyfriend'' #and he WAS the high school boyfriend when he was jackie's and now he's a man and if you wanted him because he was jackie's what do you do #with him now that he is an older version of himself jackie never met #now that he is more yours than hers! #the parallel between jackie looking at the photo of shauna and shauna looking at a photo of kyle #is not for nothing #kyle is the jeff that jeff was when he was jackie's #and now he's just shauna's. #so the marriage starts to fall apart the more jeff becomes a person jackie wouldn't know #and kyle becomes the reminder of that #meanwhile callie is caught between deciding if she's ''like mom'' or jackie or both or neither #and either way kyle has to go for it to happen #he – or who he represents – can't get in the middle again #yellowjackets #callie sadecki #shauna shipman #jeff sadecki #kyle yellowjackets

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #xiao xingchen #xue yang #a-qing #As I sit here and type out my thoughts I realize that the last panel looks like A-Qing is crushing XY's candy...oops. #she's supposed to be crunching her *own* wrapper for dramatic effect. XY's candy is still in XXC's hand. #Hes still standing there. 180 degrees out of frame. Which is where your heart is! MEANING: XXC is in your heart right now #holding out a little piece of candy that has yet to be taken. #This comic was so close to being on the chopping block. Honestly I'm still not sure I should have kept it in #but I liked this scene a lot*** and tbh the yi-city arc isn't around for much longer. Let them have fun while it lasts. #not to mention I have few opportunities to build up spanish speaking XXC. And we are close to the pay off. #XY is in his 'oh god I need to start learning the basics of this language or I will drown' phases. Lets see how well he does! #***The candy represents so much! It's a symbol of unobtainability! Of comfort and status! Both A-qing and XY crave candy as much as they- #-crave those 'unobtainables'! XY has money to by candy (part of status) but he lacks love and comfort is his life! #So XXC offering them this little piece of candy is more than just a treat! It's a piece of love! #But as sweet as candy is....it cannot last.... #(this also makes the scene where XY disrupts A-Qing's comfort by offering candy very interesting to analyze)

The way Hosea talks about Bessie is genuinely one of the sweetest things ever I just. How fondly he still reminisces about her, how dearly he holds her memory. From areas that remind him of her to little things like playing dominoes with Arthur, she’s always on his mind. The last thing he thinks about when he goes to sleep and the first thing he things about when he wakes up. “How a wretched sinner like me could be given someone so perfect, so beautiful to take care of for once in my wretched life, do my best”. God he loved her. He loves her. He cannot rationalise her death, he cannot see any fairness in how she has died and he is still alive. He left the gang for her and it didn’t last but he did leave, he tried to live a normal life for her, and she understood when he drifted back into things. Even with his approaching death, he’s worried that he won’t get to see her again, that she’s gone to heaven and he won’t end up there with her, and even still he says he’s ready for his own death. He loved her and he still loves her and he loves her until his death does find him. Every time he talks about her you can just feel all of that love he still has for her and it makes me so emotional. Old man loves his wife

#red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #hosea matthews #bessie matthews #I’m writing more of my fic right now and listening to hosea talk about bessie and it’s going to make me cry #WHAT KIND OF JUDGE WOULD SAVE ME AND TAKE HER? A FOOLISH ONE I CANT RESPECT ANY MORE THAN I CAN RESPECT MYSELF #I love you bessie matthews and your fancy outfit #the way he just goes I MISS HER SO! man I will weep at this campfire I really will

I think there probably was part of Gortash dreading Melkior actually showing up again. Like oh god it took me like half a decade of psychological manipulation/love bombing/bribes/weird psychosexual power games to get this guy in my pocket the first time. Now I have to do it again while his brain is full of holes and there's a time limit of the eldritch god we enslaved running out of tasks to occupy her.

Then he watches him go so very still on "my favorite assassin" and the first thing out of his mouth is a real soft "I was...your favorite? " and he realizes he actually just gets to deal with a version of Melkior without the defense mechanisms learned from a decade raised with the AutoCannibalism family. All that's left is the desperate need to be adored and the deepseated fear of himself. If he thought he had this guy eating out of the palm of his hand before-

#orins plan to get her cringe stepbrother to stop embarassing the family failed catastrophically #hes more of a human pet than ever and also now specifically motivated to kill you #run girl #gortash: play it cool. you remember how he nearly bit your fingers off lthe first time you went for a handshake. keep it casual #and then melkior basically rolls over to show his belly at the lightest shoulder touch #absolutely doomed #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #dark urge #dark urge spoilers #enver gortash #durgetash #dark urge x gortash #oc tag: melkior

ugly baby rivers is gonna be in my brain forever

its not his fault..... newborns are just ugly

(i did some rambling in the tags if u wanna look at it lol)

#species swap au #ss descent #ss rivers #ss fire #theyre so weird. puppies. i think ancients used to have....... litters. i guess. of two to three babies #but they began to evolve to have less #and now its like. twins are pretty common but more often than not you have one #lots of people are opposed to having kids at all because its viewed as cruel to introduce someone to a cycle where they are so aware of- #-their entrapment #i dont think either pregnancy was intentional but fire was probably more welcome #they didnt know she was pregnant with rivers until shed already been for a couple months- and then he was born.... probably like 7 or 8- #-weeks early #fire wasnt on purpose either but they knew earlier and didnt have any complications #they were probably recommended not to go through with fires pregnancy since rivers birth was so hard on her and he was so sick #but i think now that shed had a kid and come to like the idea shed probably be happy to have another baby #i think they have fire mmmmmmmmmm three years after rivers (this is the same gap as me and my sibling. easy to remember) #takes your ask as an excuse to babypost #druid draw

I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT EX HUSBAND SHANKS 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Okay I was thinking a relationship that’s like SUPER chill and casual. Like literally fuckbuddies turned lovers; u stay on ur home island and he’s off most of the time. Was based close by in the first year or two y��all met and got close so he was around more often but eventually it becomes him stopping by every few months for a few weeks and the two of you keeping up contact while he’s gone. The progression from just messing around to a committed relationship is slow and largely unsaid until Beckman tells you his captain has turned down every other woman for the past two years and you realize you aren’t much searching for other men yourself; soon enough you’ve got matching rings and as untraditional as it is it works.

And I’m just thinking abt how like…….. ur happy w ur life on ur little island, it’s relatively safe all things considered under his protection and you’ve lived there your whole life and all you rlly wanna do is keep your head down and stay there. Getting involved with Red-Haired Shanks puts a major flaw in that plan but it’s easy to forget who exactly he is. He doesn’t hide it, ofc not, but he’s so… unremarkable seeming that it’s difficult to remember, especially when your interaction with him is isolated to a scant few days or weeks when he’s most at ease and the only thing he’s thinking about is you.

But………. then you’re reminded otherwise. It’s silly really, because of course you know. It’s been years since you first met him, you’ve seen the wanted posters and you’ve heard how people talk about him, but knowing in abstract—contrasted by the man who’s managed to marry you, all wide smiles and incessant drunken love confessions and never dodging a well-placed swat from your hand—is far different from seeing in person.

You board his ship for a little trip; something small, only a few days to go retrieve a gift for you that Shanks had foolishly left a few islands away, low-risk and entirely in his territory. But it all goes sideways and you’re forced, quite suddenly, to realize just who you’ve managed to fall for—and exactly what kind of power and prestige he wields—while trapped with nowhere to go but remain on his ship with him and his crew for the days it takes to return.

You feel stupid more than anything, balking like this after one (frankly minuscule) fight. You don’t leave his cabin the whole trip back. He brings you meals, holds you when he can, tells you how much the crew misses you, but he doesn’t understand just how much you’re questioning. How much, you wonder, do you really know Shanks? Bordering on ten years is quite some time but when you only see him a scant few weeks out of those years, how much does it matter?

The ring on your finger, the way he looks at you—they settle on your shoulders more like a noose now, no longer making you giddy. How long until some bitter rival of his storms your home searching for you because they can’t touch him?

How much is he worth it when the lives of everyone in your hometown stand at risk?

You’re smart enough not to pick the fight until you’ve returned. You have it at the door of your home, long overdone and frankly terrified, all but melting down once you’re truly alone with him for the first time in a week. He doesn’t yell back—doesn’t do much, after attempts at soothing you fail, except watch you with a mildly surprised expression on his face.

For the first time in years you don’t let him stay the night, or see him off when he leaves the following day. You sit up on your roof and watch his ship disappear over the horizon and assure yourself that clearly you aren’t cut out for being his.

(But two months later that ship appears again, and an hour after docking there’s a knock at your door, and you can’t help how your breath hitches when you see that red hair beyond the peephole…)

#ask.🌧 #saintshigaraki #char.🌧 shanks #mine.🌧 #shanks x reader #sorry this is more the buildup than actual ex husband stuff 💔 #might do a continuation in a few days #but in essence he doesn’t Realize u were serious he thinks it was a normal fight #until he returns like normal and realizes you’ve removed your ring n want nothing to do with him #at which point his only response is well :) took me two years to win her over the first time #I’ve got experience now so it’ll be faster right? #(yes) #maybe he actually manages to sweet talk you into joining him the second go around

Bridgerton states from season one, through Simon and Lady Danbury, to season two, with the Sharmas, to Queen Charlotte, from the beginning episode to the end spelled out clear as day, that racism exists in this world and many of the characters of colors have been impacted by it in some way. And, supposedly, I'm supposed to believe that Marina, that Kate and Edwina, that they all had more privilege and power than Penelope? No, I don't think so, a lot of things aren't right with that statement.

#bridgerton #kate sharma #edwina sharma #lady danbury #queen charlotte #penelope featherington #penelope stans and/or polin stans do not interact if you can't be respectful! #even with her family's financial situation they still have more privilege & power than marina and the sharmas #pen didn't have the weight of finding a proper match be the end all be all for her fam (like edwina & kate) #penelope does whisltedown bc she wants too kate had to do the things she did bc she HAD to to support her family #marina even with being cousin to the featheringtons was about to be passed off to a man older than her with little guarantee that he's good #or would treat her and her child as they deserved #the whole point of the marriage market was to find someone who can provide for u bc that's your only option #literally what marina does #a common theme of all these black and brown women having to work to provide for themselves out of necessity #pen was writing before her family's situation was even known and writing nasty things primarily about women #also the “kate is a bridgerton now” falls flat bc all of this happened before she and anthony married #even still the stuff that pen wrote about her was wrong (and racially coded too) #anti penelope featherington

[francesderwent]

the first Anne of Green Gables book is all about Anne being given a home and a family, people who love her and aren’t merely using her, someplace she belongs. and Gilbert is on the outside of that for the whole story, just this funny little rivalry that Anne hangs onto, someone who wants the privilege of belonging with Anne in some way, but whom she ignores, and ignores pretty easily. but at the very end he places himself at the center of the main story, no longer avoidable, by trading schools with her, so that she can keep everything that she’s grown to love—he claims his place in her heart by giving her Green Gables again, as a gift.

#in which cate tells stories #aint nothing more romantic than someone GIVING YOU YOUR HOME #it’s very Knightley of him #he wraps everything that she’s grown to love up in a bow and gives it back to her but now it’s from HIM it’s a sign of HIS love

okay so i know that dash baxter barely gets any character development in the show but like the idea that danny hates dash? boo, lame, overdone!!!! danny who can beat dash up and dash knows this and everyone knows this but by god danny needs something normal to cling on to so dash shoves him in a locker everyday?? yeah that's the good shit

#like danny more than anything wants to be normal except he is schrodinger;s person so he'll never be normal #but dash still shoves him in the locker everyday and dash still gives him swirlies and dash still calls him 'fen-twerp' #so he's still a normal teen... right? #dash doesn't bully danny for a day and he watches the way danny get progressively worse throughout the day #dash bewildered: is he like- going through bully withdrawls??? #tucker exhausted after 2nd period: dude can you just like shove him into a locker or smth? #dash: i'm trying to be better!! kwan says that i am being too much these days #sam also exhausted: be better after danny graduates #also the idea of like dash bullying danny is their way of saying 'hello' is sooo funny to me #danny as he's getting shoved into a locker: so how's your mom? #dash: better now but like that cough isn' going away yknow? #danny contorting himself to fit in the locker better: you should take her to dr. esperanza later. i heard the flu's going around #dash closing the door: alr thanks for the tip. stay in there for at least 5 minutes #danny preparing to nap: whatever #dp #danny phantom #danny fenton #dash baxter #swagger bishie #teddy ghost #dandash #ig i'll tag those bc i am a pretty big swagger bishie shipper but you could totally read this as platonic

Why the fuck are people on Twitter upset about nonbinary robots. Transformers are aliens, why would they follow another species gender binary based on reproduction when they don't even reproduce sexually. If anything, ALL the robots should use they/them.

#liz blogs #transformers #i need to finish earthspark #conservatives won't survive when aliens come to earth #imagine going to another planet and trying to translate pronouns #but either theres more than two or theyre not based on reproduction #how do you figure out if youre a glerp or a blongo or a dee when you dont even have a yundle #and guess what else. if the robots all have one gender. and they use different Earth Pronouns #that dont line up with - in conservative terms - the pronouns they Should have #guess what. all the robots are trans now. #this is probably fucking incoherent i just woke up but man i hate when people think the universe revolves around humans #smash the gender binary to pieces #i write this from an angle to shit on their stupid argument i know nonbinary people can use gendered pronouns as well #the point is its hard to translate. frankly we also deserve big macho bots picking she her because it sounds nice #and little femmebots picking he him because it sounds cool and they want to seem Tough in earth terms #hasbro hire me i love robots and I'll write a transformers show so good it'll make conservatives literally explode

[mamanbou]

i truly say this with no malice in my heart but black butler fans who think the series peaked at book of circus/that the circus didn't deserve their fate........... are 7 times out of 10 not really black-butler-as-a-whole fans and are very unwilling to engage with the main themes and characters of the series as a whole. BoC was a fantastic high and had tons of engaging characters but I've met people who still hate ciel bc he had doll killed and that is CRAZY. to love a side character so much that it renders you unwilling to let the main/objectively most complex and important character into your heart at all. I'm sorry that the circus died but even though they loved each other they were also child murderers- in doll's case she still is LOL- and their most important narrative role is their impact on ciel/snake (whose plotline ties back to ciel's ideas about lies becoming the truth, so still a ciel thing ultimately). anyways the best arcs are Green Witch because it's good and Book of Murder because it's funny

#and the maid arc because jane was hot #txt #kuroshitsuji #ive just been thinking about this for some days now and had to get it in writing #also i feel bad for doll fans during the current arc. it's drastically shifted her character #in ways that make sense but like if you loved her bc of the moral struggle and now youre watching her in her most evil hour.. brutal #i kind of wish joker was a bizarre doll instead of her #his interactions with seb and ciel while he bled out were SO interesting i'd love to see him brought back and forced to grapple with it all #he has a way more nuanced view on what happened than doll possibly could #but then #thats why it had to be doll. she doesnt have context or nuance or anything but pure animal rage #50

#satsuhart #temecas #bgghkg their rship rly... nice #i think i struggle to portray it the way i fully want it to look but like i think theyre a better fit than people think #also they clearly care about and respect each other so much like #teme saying he'll start taking his paper plays more seriously after castti tells him he can change someones life hello?? #castti is pretty much naturally nice to everyone but i like how their rship has like 2 sides to it lol like #theres her telling teme to take time to grieve and then the moment teme shows any kind of kindness in return shes like #uh ? youre being nice thats weird #but also like come on. temenos and hikari being the only ones to talk to castti during her ch3 is so AUAUGHH #also just consider. castti saying she likes vulnerable people (bad wording) and she must have seen a lotta that during teme's journey ! #well anyway. thats all from me for now #octo2
