#only tagging her bc well the post is about her

[plounce]

Whats your ace attorney fic recommendations? ^_^

HMMMMMMMM well i am a klaviergirl so this is mostly klapollo/aa4 but here are my recs :3

turnabout toast is a lovely post-aa4 nrmt fic with background klapollo. great "people trying to fix their lives" stuff and WAHHHH edgeworth... also a lot of lovely socal setting stuff (<- socal native, weak for it). phoenix being kind of a bastard but not a bad guy, which i think is fun, because it's interesting.

dirty sympathy, also by the above author. CW for abuse: the premise of the fic is that it's a retelling of aa4 where klavier and apollo are behind the scenes of all the cases collaborating to get rid of each other's abusers (daryan and kristoph, respectively), and trying to keep everything secret. it's a suspenseful read and it's like. crazy. auuughhh. makes me crazy. it's prob my fave aa fic but it takes so much out of me to reread

about him - last rec from this author. the only piece of clay terran fic i have any time for. post-aa5 klapollo sweetness with the outsider pov. so cutes

jamais vu - post-aa6 klapollo get-back-together fic where they hook up at nrmt's wedding

turnabout toilet brush - SO FUN. office farce where WAA argue over who broke the toilet brush. good phoenix pov with fun athena & apollo banter. nrmt and background klapollo

in better light - pacific rim au! trucy & apollo siblingisms, with angsty not-married nrmt, a bit of klapollo, and swag k-scientist ema skye

say it to the crowd - various minor character outsider povs on pre-relationship klapollo. i looooooove outsider pov

notes from the underworld - canon-divergent epistolary bad end aa4 au where MVK kills phoenix and maya with his taser in aa1. only reccing the first in the series since the others weren't to my tastes but the first one. wagh

turnabout from within - an aa5 prequel case! really fun. tries to be a bridge between aa4 and aa5 and is a very fun written version of an AA case. aura is there!! minor klapollo! fun aa pun names!

the thing about forgiveness - trucy and klavier talk post-aa4... wah... performers...

youngblood - daryan pov about his and klavier's relationship. very good... sad bc it's from the pov of a guy who sucks and how the love of his life deserves better than him. good stuff. klapollo endgame bc klavier deserves a decent guy as a bf

turnabout runaway - WAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it's about post-OT pearl dealing with like. the trauma of all that shit with her family as best an 8yo can - by trying to run away to protect mystic maya :( babby... (this one is written by a good friend of mine :3)

there's some more in my bookmarks but it's been a few years since i read them (my aa hyperfixation was spring/summer 2020) so while they're probably decent reads i can't write blurbs

HAVE FUN HOPE YOU LIKE THEM

(anti-recs under the cut. can't resist some complaining)

(also i genuinely have so much hatred in my heart for the fic with the most kudos in the klapollo ao3 tag, it's tagged for them but they don't actually happen in it, it's a nrmt fic that wildly mischaracterizes klavier and makes him into like. an asshole sexual harasser, and the fic barely even takes the sexual harassment seriously? don't read that one. <- DONT LEAVE MEAN COMMENTS ON IT EITHER, the fic's like 10 years old or smth, don't bug the author)

(also i don't like the 100k word fic "custody" bc iirc 1. i didnt like how they characterized thalassa? 2. white ginger klavier??????????? girl)

SAY MORE ABOUT ANDIE !! I CARE HER !

HEHEHE THANK YOU!! >:3 OK UNDER READ MORE IT GOES

So Andie is Stanley’s lil sister! She’s inspired by the lil drawing in the hallways of the Zending that I’m spinning into an actual character and not a reference to another game :]

I imagine that she’s prooobably around 10 to 12 years old? While I HC Stanley to be somewhere in his early 30s. She loves bugs okay they’re like her favorite thing in the entire world. She will stop whatever she’s doing if she finds a bug and she’ll sit there and stare at it, and if Stanley’s around she’ll ask him what kind of bug it is (if she doesn’t already know) and if he doesn’t know he’ll help her find out. (Which kinda Sucks for Stanley since he’s a lil squeamish, but has definitely gotten better w/bugs because of Andie and also because he’d do anything for her anyways.) it’s her special interest :) she has a bunch of books on bugs and draws them on the corners of her papers. She’s snuck little pill bugs into the house on multiple occasions.

She’s very outdoorsy in general too, and there’s numerous times where Stanley had been heading out to go to work and had to take at least 20 mins coaxing Andie out of a tree...<3 which is usually fruitless bc whenever he gets back Home she’s hanging out in one again. Sometimes, on particularly hard days he joins her up there. Whether it’s with a cup of coffee or a book or empty handed he finds himself enjoying it, even if Its not entirely silent bc of Andie. Also, Stanley is the one to dye Andie’s hair for her :’J

She’s also probably a lil bit of a troublemaker, but never means any true harm. Think of how Stanley likes to push the narrator’s buttons—she also gets a kick outta messing with people like that. Like, occasionally Stanley couldn’t leave Andie at home for one reason or another so he’d need to bring her to work with him and one of his coworkers would be like “aw, well aren’t you a little darling” and then she’d grin and pull the largest spider you’ve ever seen out of her pockets.

While Stanley is entirely mute, Andie is selectively mute. She knows sign language though, and was in the process of being taught more of it by Stanley (but was so kindly interrupted by the parable...) Whatever Stanley and Andie’s home life was, which I’m leaving vague on purpose, their parents were not there Much. Stanley was practically raising her on his own, and Andie liked him more Anyways — Stanley was just worried that he wouldn’t know how to take care of someone else besides himself, but he eventually got the hang of it. Also, Mariella has probably babysat her occasionally, so Andie’s familiar with her as well.

Though, in like...current times now with the whole Parable, Stanley doesn’t remember Andie. I feel like Stanley would get like brief flashes and memories of what was Before the parable and very rarely he’d see someone who looked eerily like Andie, but he’d never be able to place a name or a story to the figure. There’s probably some assets in the parable the narrator has that Also look a lil like Andie but he’s clueless + if he ever used those assets, the unavoidable freak out Stanley would have would come as a genuine shock to him. (Plus narrator would probably assume Andie’s his kid before his sister.)

+a lil andie scribiblle :]

And then you called me a mage, and that felt right. (1x04) / Callum, I know you love magic, but I hope you're careful. Because it can change people. (4x04) / Who am I if I'm not a mage? (Callum's Spellbook)

#mage boy #theme: identity #tdp callum #long post #screencaps #arc 1 #arc 2 #multi #tag ramble #so the only people to really call callum a prince is #harrow (for obvious reasons bc that's a family reaffirmation even if callum takes it as the opposite) #soren (mostly as step prince which then mimics step mage more fondly) #rayla (once with 'hey sad prince' which is also about him pursuing magic bc she continually validates him) #and opeli does so most consistently (in using ezran's title as well) #corvus calls him prince in 2x08 when they first meet but not at all by 4x01 #which just shows how consistently formal opeli is bless her soul #i did not realize upon doing this though that callum only refers to himself as a prince twice #even when he gives lujanne the 1x04 spiel in 2x01 he doesn't mention it #nor does harrow ever mention princeliness in the letter #just that he's his son #which callum being comfortable in his family now & that harrow loved him regardless of whether he lived up to 'being a prince' is like #what he needed to learn so <3 #oh and claudia calls him prince in 5x09. which feels both like detached and sneering #while also being more personal? #like i wonder if/when claudia will Ever call him a mage

If wukong told (lied) to macaque that he never cared about him, do you think that would make macaque even more aggresive or like shut down/be the final straw that finally makes macaque let go of wukong

so, just like my answer for whether macky would willingly erase swk from his life, I think this answer also depends on when in the show swk told macky this, and what better way to explain this than by going through each outcome per season :)

UNO

looking at s1, we meet a Macaroni who is very hellbent on killing (or at the very least, heavily damaging) SWK because he feels like the guy never truly gave a shit about him (<- my interpretation). thus, it is safe to assume that if Wukong were to laugh off Marnolo's hurt and anger and tell the guy that he never cared, Mac&cheese will only feel that his current assumptions of SWK are correct and that the guy only cares about himself and his image.

would he feel hurt about it? oh absolutely. maybe punch a wall, destroy the "dojo" he allegedly lives in in an outburst of power and anger. maybe scream and cry but be mad at his own tears (begin to wipe them away but is too hash so he scars himself and then can't stop bc he's very self-destructive)

DOS

technically, Wukong is MIA so this would never happen. BUT! have you considered!!! Wukong telling MK that Macdonalds was just some guy from his past, nobody super important, basically a nobody he wronged in his long list of enemies. which MK might possibly parrot back to Macadoo in 2x07

heavens above Marconi would be pissed.

forget trying to be a dick to MK and "teaching" him that his path of emulating Wukong has already made him forget his friends (untrue, but this is what i assume was Macky's interpretation of MK's actions since the guy didn't actively search for his missing friends, who MK thought left him on purpose).

nah, Macky is hunting SWK down. he is out for blood because "did i serious mean so little to you? were our nights under that tree sharing secrets, dreams, peaches fucking nothing to you?" (and idk....maybe after the air clears out, possibly, macky would realize SWK's true reason for being MIA and....help out???? mayhaps???....yeah, yeah, i know only in my dreams T^T)

TRES

ok, so we could technically say this sort of happened in ep1 when Sun Wukong said, "i thought it was someone important," and, "so what, you're her puppet now? i mean, makes sense. you always did have a sidekick kind of vibe."

and that is basically Wukong implying that he viewed his relationship with Macaque as one where he didn't consider Macky to be important to him, or someone he saw as a close friend. however, this is also a tactic Wukong uses against nearly every villain he interacts with, simply to get a rise out of them. so, pin that down as Wukong being observant enough to know which words to use to hurt.

AND Macky's reaction to it is him jumping out of his cool-ass looking jet and body-slamming the monkey king to the floor. so, uh, it is safe to assume that Macky was pissed off at Wukong's comment.

THUS! with that in mind, we can say that in this context, Macackle will be upset enough to fight him; however, if we were to consider the end of s3 (like Samadhi Fire ritual to the end) i would go with the option of Mackarell shutting down and feeling like that comment is the nail in the coffin for their relationship.

CUATRO

in s4? absolutely not. he would be dragging Wukong by the ear, demanding that he repeat what he said, ordering Wukong to try and convince himself that their past meant nothing while Macky still lives and breathes. and especially after the s4 special.

you could argue that Macky could shut down in the beginning of s4, but i think he'd probably laugh it off because he knows now that Wukong is lying. he's being his old deflective self and probably doesn't know where to place Macanoli in his head now that they're technically on better terms with LBD done with.

but after all the drama of going through SWK's memories? nuh uh, Wukong can't get out of this, nope. you handed iMac a chocolate peach popsicle. it is too late for you turn back and lie about your feelings. you can dig your grave and lie about it, but he's just gonna hit you right back with your own medicine and make you understand that if y'all truly want to reconcile, you cannot continue lying to yourself that you don't care.

not anymore.

so, anyway, i hope this answers your question, anon! i had a lot of fun running this question around in me braincage :3

#just saw a post that was like 'if you have religious or moral objections that stop you from providing certain types of medical care maybe #you shouldn't work in healthcare' (paraphrased) and... #what a way to look at the world tbh #like. they're talking about me i think - i am a conscientious objector when it comes to euthanasia #(which granted has come up exactly twice and both cases in a theoretical capacity only this is not a frequent request to me) #and... i am also a good doctor #last week i told someone that her weight doesn't matter to her health with receipts to prove it and she cried #no one had ever told her that before #and that was something that came from me specifically. that was something i would not trust all of the GPs in my practice - a practice of #excellent and compassionate GPs! - to say #i am verifiably doing good in my job that is coming from specifically who i am as a person #i cannot put that down when it comes to issues i care deeply about #fundamentally the fact that i cannot put it down is what makes me a good doctor #i think that's what i'm trying to get at #the reason that i do well by my patients is that i practice out of my values and my ethics #if i did not stand on that core i would not stand at all #so you can't have it both ways. you can't have engaged and active and compassionate healthcare providers without sometimes those engaged an #active providers having things they do not feel comfortable doing #and it is to everyone's service if they are up front about it and do not try to hide (i am suspicious of people who try to hide this) #i am literally figuring this all out as i type hence the v long tag ramble and also being nowhere near the post that started this train #(honestly in med school we talked so much about ethics as like. abortion! euthanasia! trans rights! and the ethics in practice is the littl #things. do you apologise when you mess up. how do you manage a consult with your patient with paranoid dementia and her child in the same #room at one time - or one by one bc that's fraught too. (that one's on top i had one of those today.) how do you act with grace when #you're a bit stressed and your patient is a bit stressed and the nurse wants to add five more things to your book. the day to day ethics is #SUCH a bigger thing when you come to actual practice.) #this is obviously entirely about me and leans on the fact that i largely do think i am doing a good job i am really feeling my own way #to a Thought. but i think to a certain extent it is generalisable

Okay I lied here are some more thoughts on the mlb movie including some actual criticism.

I was just listening to the soundtrack a little and I feel like? A lot of ~character~ is injected into the songs. I mean, it's a musical, it's how they work, characters burst into song when they cant hold back how they're feeling / what they're thinking anymore. But I feel like people who are calling the movie soulless must have just tuned the songs out when they came up, because without them yea, it kinda feels like its just going through the motions. But... It's a movie, so they cant have five million scenes of Mari being awkward, especially since they need her to outgrow it bc ~character development~ so these bits go into her intro song + her first outing as Ladybug. It's obviously stated in Chat's number that he was high off the freedom of being Chat Noir, which explains his cockier attitude towards Ladybug (which is? Not too unlike their dynamic in Origins pt 1 tbh, anyway).

(A detail I love is how in "You Are Ladybug", Marinette's whole point is that when things get rough she "makes excuses", which is a level of self awareness that I don't recall her having to that degree in the early show. At least in season 1, she'd always ALMOST do the things she wanted to, only to stop and second guess herself. I love the interpretation that it isnt just shyness or being frazzled and nervous in front of her crush, like the fandom interpreted, it's her ACTIVELY being aware that she's self sabotaging bc she's afraid of taking chances. It's such a fun little spin on her actions in the show. )

Like. It's all there??? It's in the movie???

Anyway.

Wanna see an ACTUAL criticism? What some songs imply just isn't represented as well visually, which makes the movie more confusing. Most notably Marinette's Sad Song after Adrien turns her down. If you actually listen to what she's saying, it feels like they skipped a few scenes, lol.

Like, listen to it, it's like she's saying she - as Marinette - isn't enough, just being the silly shy girl that she is. This is right after Chat confesses to be falling for Ladybug, but Adrien turns Marinette down. The song is implying that Mari went from not thinking she could be Ladybug to gaining confidence in herself (she's kicking butt as Ladybug, she's overcoming her shyness/awkwardness and making friends, she even managed to ask Adrien out, so its not like the old fic trope in which Mari always had a low self esteem and always considered LB to be perfect, she's getting better as a whole), to only now second guessing it all. Is only Ladybug, her more heroic, responsible side, the one people (boys, "both" of them) like? Is being "just" her softer, klutzier, dreamer self not enough?

It ofc leads into the final fight against Hawkmoth, and how Marinette is so down about it that she now thinks she NEEDS Ladybug to win. She still tries to save Adrien on her own with a last nudge from Tikki, and tho it isn't enough to keep Hawkmoth from getting to him, it's enough for herself. Like, she very clearly Has An Arc in the movie.

The thing is, it can get a little fuzzy because we don't really see this contrast between Ladybug's self assuredness and the parts of herself that Marinette prefers to identify with as a civilian, not if you haven't watched the show. The montage just skips throughout their "pound it!"s without lingering on her resourcefulness, her confidence, and how different Ladybug feels from Marinette. Like, it's there, but only superficially, and its hard to notice it unless you have the backstory from the show to back you up.

It's the same issue with Adrien's feelings towards Marinette, we know from the montage that Mari is special to him, we only ever see him open himself up about Emilie to her (when Nino is Right There and actively letting him know he can talk to him if Adrien wants to), and the end credits song (that seems to match the reveal in both melody and lyrics) basically states what we do know - that Mari is aware that Adrien is Chat Noir and was waiting for the right moment to tell him - and what we DON'T, which is that Adrien always felt a degree of familiarity and a special bond with Mari, possibly bc subconsciously he always knew (which actually calls back surprisingly well to the cut Wall Between Us number and how that poor catboy was SO confused). So he was and wasn't surprised at the same time bc OF COURSE it was her, of course the girls who held his heart on both sides of the mask were one and the same. Ergo the smiling through the tears.

But we don't SEE that, unless you take what the music numbers are saying AND you have watched the first season of the show (I am once again reminding folks that the movie was conceptualized during the season 1 hiatus). You don't SEE Adrien go from a slightly weirded out stranger to someone fondly amused at Mari's antics to blushing and shuffling awkwardly when their fingers touch when playing videogames. You don't see how LB takes control and appears to be a natural leader, heck, the movie does a better job with Ladynoir but it STILL doesn't match how it feels to watch it knowing things like Chat straight up being willing to die for Ladybug in Timebreaker or knowing they kiss once in Dark Cupid or how Chat keeps himself from peeking at who LB is in Lady Wifi. You don't have the Adrienette side of the square to explain some of those lyrics away and the Ladynoir Song(tm) or even the sparring scene, with all the implicit trust they gives us, don't hit as hard as they do with the proper context.

Some of it (Ladynoir) can be excused by it being a movie and having a much more limited runtime to tell a story, but others (Adrienette) just NEEDED a little bit more. Even if it was just one more scene showing how their civilian relationship has ALSO evolved.

That said, it makes me wonder, it's been ages but I loosely remember being told that the movie was supposed to show the origins of Ladybug and Chat Noir back in the day. I wonder if the things we see changed between series and movie (the power ups for instance, details like Nino always having a crush on Alya) weren't originally, and the movie was originally going to be released as both the beginning and the end of season 1, showing how LB and Chat met, revealing Gabriel as Hawkmoth, and concluding the love square shenanigans and giving us a reveal before setting up a season 2 in that post The End scene.

Mostly bc I've been watching season 1 again and if you take Origins out and ignore the smaller incongruencies as just edits reworked into the base story later in order separate the movieverse from the showverse as a way for Zag and Astruc to find a compromise... I'm using an old friend's personalized episode timeline instead of just the release/production order and you can SEE the development there. It's subtle but it exists, and it works surprisingly well.

If you look at it this way, the movie wouldn't need to show things like Adrien's modeling career and Gabriel's micromanaging (which in season 1 STILL works with movie Gabriel, especially knowing he gets obsessed to the point of neglecting his personal hygiene. He's distant and cold but not aggressive), so the show could explore that. The show could set up Adrienette and Ladynoir (and the other subtler sides of the square)'s base dynamics so the movie could do its thing by flipping the love square (had it had more time to properly show the Adrienette side. as I said above, its an actual issue with the movie) and resolving the tension. Even the earphones symbolism would hit harder knowing Adrien went through a whole season without them, only to falter and fall back into using them after LB rejects him.

Idk, I'm too fond of Origins to ever delete it from my heart, but I think its a fascinating concept to think about.

#* ∙ ✿◞ tag game. #if a song doesn't sound at least a little haunted it's not for her tbh #1) is just perfect idek what to add #as is 2) but? what i love especially abt this one is #that it perfectly encapsulates dahlia’s paranoia about being found out for her crimes #+ her betraying nature #in the song the lyrical subject has a partner who commits the crimes with her but as that line goes? #‘‘out on the street i keep a started car who only waits for me conveniently’‘ -> she will betray them too #canonically dahlia betrayed even iris by convincing her father to abandon her at the temple #...unless you want to buy into the darker implications about their father #which is a post for some other time ! #3) is a vibe song #4) is pretty self-explanatory as well #i just love how haunted both of them sound #5) to me is so tragic bc it reminds me how apart from iris no in the game has shown even a lick of sympathy for dahlia #obviously you cannot excuse her actions ( save for what she did to terry idc ) #but what irks me so much is? in t.urnabout beginnings not even mia picks up on how bad dahlia’s situation was? #she mocks the judge and payne for falling for dahlia’s act #but she herself is guilty of this? #we meet terry and mia is immediately like. oh his child-like voice. his big sad eyes. he’s so innocent he could do no wrong 🥺 #then he tells her he’s abducted a teenager who was his teen angel / lover and it???doesn’t change anything about her perception of him????? #ngl that felt so ooc for her ??? #where my female solidarity at???? #no love no understanding for dahlia but whatever. i got her

the thing about scream is that it was always about sidney prescott that is the point she is what the entire franchise hinges on. and then the new filmmakers come in and say yeah it was always the plan to move on from sidney eventually and she would've been written out even if neve hadn't refused the deal for scream vi like that is so rotted

#the one redeeming quality of 2022 WAS the characters I'll admit it but like #scream isn't about the killers at all it's about sidney prescott and her life and her struggling to keep it together #when she has to constantly relive the worst moments of her life either bc it's happening all over again #or bc the media won't ever let her forget it #ghostface is. not the main character and he never has been #it's always just a couple of stupid losers with a bad motive #and THAT'S what the franchise is centered around. k*llers are loser u should be caring about sidney prescott instead #and to turn their back on that is kind of. well #anyway not to make it a moral dilemma it's really only that deep To Me #but I really truly do think that continuing the franchise without sidney takes away from the entire meaning of the films #text post #horror tag

thinking about hdb while holding my head in my hands and suffering

#my posts #i cant fully articulate this #idk if i have the time either #but. help. i will tag this with my organization tags. i may see this at some other time and maybe ill be able to so #disco elysium #hdb #im just thinking about him and martinaise harry and his childhood and the 15th indotribe thing and dora #how probably considering the type of friends he had and how they all ended..... they were probably all like him personality wise #like. im not saying they were bad people like harry was kind of an asshole but not fully #like they were all a bunch of teens in a bad situation trying to make the best of it however they can and well... didnt work out too well #but what i mean is that i think thats partially why he got that level of attached to dora? she didnt go through what he did #she had the money to not go through that she was stable she was a constant in his life that was pure and that wasnt always #going through something. a guide. harry went to her like a moth to a fire with pure devotion bc she was everything he never had #she probably also treated him different than what all his previous friends would have. i imagine her to be very gentle #and harry probably never got to know too much about people being soft so that was also. new. but somethign imposible to him #so i can see how he would love her like that to the point of basically worshipping her as god and how he would still love her #years after it went to shit even when he cant remember anything. it makes sense #i think they were engaged bc the wedding gown but idk if its said in game. but he loved her enough to want to marry her in a world #where real love isnt possible for him but only for new people in a new world he still wanted that with her even if it didnt work out #he holds to whatever he can of her as a lifeline and i. man. dude. yeah no i get him #idk how long they were together but it also doesnt matter bc of how harry is as a person #also of course at first it was all good. she was basically fixing him but he cant get fixed only with love in a world like that! #or with a life like his... it was always going to go down. and i. dude #... i am thinking about this as someone who still loves someone and we werent even dating like #i think if we dated and it went bad like. i think id be in a similar situation to harry tbh. i get him #yeah no yeah lmao i do think of this person also sort of as the only good thing in my life #and i am glad she did reject me when i confessed bc if i had fully lost her i dont know where id be? but also man its been 7 years #of the rejection and basically 10 of falling for her. i get harry so fucking badly on this one USHDGIUHUSG #ok in the end i did say what i had to say but in the tags i dont think ill make a proper post out of it #but i did write it in a way that wasnt articulated for a post so i think i was right making it like this lmao

Walked out of work today bc long story short a guest decided that she was gonna lecture me/use me & my "abhorrent, disrespectful attitude" as an example of a lesson for one of her student & I decided that standing there & being belittled wasn't worth it

#i only gave her back the disrespect she was giving me. not even as bad as she was dishing either #granted i couldve kept my composure but also she was up at the desk for 45 minutes making a mountain out of a molehill #& among other things in her ''lecture'' she told me that if any of her students or employees acted the way i did they'd be dismissed & fire #she said ''post covid there are PLENTY of people who would be lucky & LOVE to have any work right now'' & i thought #yknow. i love my job. but i dont deserve this. this isnt worth it #so i turned to the food & beverage manager who was the only MOD & said ''actually i think i will go home'' #i called my AGM after i left & let her know the whole situation. even told her i understand if im fired or written up bc of this but its no #worth standing there & being lectured & having this lady lie to my face about things i said/did. i dont deserve to be treated like that #the woman really told me ''this couldve been a teachable moment for you'' LMAO lady i will let a LOT of shit slide #but i refuse to be the subject of your lesson & i certainly dont get paid enough to have anyone who isnt management lecture me #it just feels weird though. ive never walked out before. never spotainiously taken the night off. never had a situation like this before #it feels weird having left & it feels weird sitting in my bed trying to enjoy my night when my brain knows im supposed to be at work rn #oh well #my AMG said im definetly not fired & she'll talk to the lady in the morning. i couldnt care less if i was though. theres always other jobs #and to preface i even apologized to the woman both for my behavior & the disrespect. yet she still felt like making an example of me #what a week its been #emma rambles #emma vents #2023 tag

Imagine being so insecure in your own identity that you start literally gatekeeping your gender

#lol i woke up today and my aunty had made a post like #'I love trans people BUT if you're a trans woman then you're NOT a woman you are a TRANS woman' #'calling yourself a woman is INVALIDATING the IDENTITY of REAL WOMAN' #'i gave birth and breastfed my children bc I am a WOMAN and you didn't so you're a TRANS woman' #like girl both of those kids you birthed are trans and closeted #and they are rightfully afraid to tell you because they know you'll react poorly #this is not the boast you think it is #it's just transphobic LMAO #cw transphobia #also to my friends dw this isn't one of the aunties you always hear me talk about #although one of them is a jk rowling apologist and the other is. well. interesting. #but they're both good trans allies #we have a family 'girls only' group chat we use mostly for discussing periods and tmi pregnancy stuff etc #anything we don't want the guys to see really #and as soon as they found out my sister was trans they added her to that gc (AS THEY SHOULD!!) #anyway #yes I am one of those people who writes one line and then puts the entire rest of the post in the tags thank you for noticing #but yes I'll stop rambling now ty and goodbye

chiyo, formerly a background character, suddenly experiencing main character moments after she was bitten bc that makes her a main character now?? yes and it's the silliest day of clichés and freaking out over inconvenient powers :' ))

#chiyo being like wtf???? the entire day bc not only is she suddenly sticking to everything and sneezing webs #she's been confessed to #rescued from being bullied by a guy she's barely spoken to #said guy makes some comment about her health and drapes his school jacket over her shoulders #and instead of swooning like the main character of a shoujo manga should chiyo is just deeply confused #and on the verge of a breakdown asdfg #suddenly there's a lot of attention on her when normally there's hardly any and she doesn't handle it well :' ) #someone is sparkling as they talk to her and she coughs/sneezes a web right in their face and proceeds to flee the scene #she goes to the newspaper club -- or actually the supernatural club bc it would still be around when she's 15! #but either way she has to leave bc her hands keep sticking to everything and the guy from before has reappeared and she #really might just perish on the spot if she has to deal with these weird changes for another second #y'all are lucky i dunno how to draw bc i would be drawing all of this in a heartbeat :' )))) #i love love love the idea of pointing out and playing with clichés and tropes #especially with a protagonist like chiyo who would be so weirded out and unhappy with these developments asdf #anyway i said i'm trying to write and i am but uhhhhh brain rot #okay i spoke too much in the tags to lose this post so it goes in the headcanon tag ig #headcanons | chiyoko #your friendly neighborhood jorogumo | across the spider verse | chiyoko

TFW the Girl You Love Tells You “Thanks But No Thanks. You’re Still My Best Friend, Tho!” - A novel by Ana

#madre solo hay dos #ana servín #shitty screencap posts (TM) #me: I will only be able to make a couple of posts about this episode bc it hurt so much and I can't keep rewatching this scene #also me: *spams the tl with ten million posts* #but LISTEN #I am ASTOUNDED at how well this bit captured that sort of weary disappointment lesbians are all too familiar with #when the girl they're in love with is like 'you're my best friend!' (unspoken second part of that sentence: 'and nothing more') #I'm gonna try to articulate why but like #from what we know of canon I don't think ana has ever in her life had feelings for another woman who friendzoned her #and yet here she is getting her heart broken by another woman for the first time and it's just SO RELATABLE #to those of us who HAVE been there before you know? #because I don't think she would have the same microexpression if mariana had been a dude #there's something there that screams 'yeah haven't heard THAT one before' and it's just... *chef's kiss* #(me? analyzing ana's microexpressions as a coping mechanism? it's more likely than you'd think!) #also this is just a friendly psa (although I don't think anyone is reading my tag vomit which definitely is for the best) #but my blog is a mariana hate-free blog and I'll start caping for her if I have to :) #I'm just here to have fun (and get my heart shredded by a silly mexican comedy apparently life is wild sometimes)
