im being so fucking for real and i need you guys to boost and reblog this
you nonblack selfshippers have got to stop using "simp." you have to. its african american vernacular english (aave) which in colloquial terms means its not for you to use. in a space already hostile towards shippers of color, youre just making it more inhospitable to black selfshippers by appropriating our language.
say youre crushing. say youre obsessed. say youre head over heels, say youre a sucker, say youre infatuated, just stop saying simp. for the love of god
{nonblack shippers [even other shippers of color] i do NOT want to hear your opinion on this post or hear about how you "didnt know" or are "changing it right now." just be an ally and LISTEN instead of needing to add your piece.}
the empty frame in bobbys castle tower is a metaphor for jaiden and roiers family. they shared a house a bed items son, roier showed her his basement, melissa, his betrayal scars, and his home that was meant to be a community house. and jaiden couldnt fully believe she wasnt taking too much when it was her house! it was her base too! she moved out of the home she was building to move in with roier but she still felt like an intruder to her own home! she saw it as a temporary home for until she could move out and build her own base. but she still cared for and accepted every part of roier. and roier loved jaiden back too! when they died in that airship, he cleared out the dungeon and gave jaiden armor and spirit orbs and when jaiden accepted his anger and blame it just fizzled out. jaiden understands. so then roier left a empty frame at the bottom of the tower for jaiden to fill whenever she came back and they laughed and joked while tucking bobby in and jaiden said i bet you a hundred million dollars we'll see bobby tomorrow and roier said are you sure and it was a joke and then tomorrow came and jaiden was an hour too late. and then roier joked and laughed and when jaiden came and he had to break the news he couldn't anymore. because with jaiden roier can let down the jokes and with roier jaiden can be sure he has her back and support and when jaiden fell off the edge roier jumped down to join her before she could even say anything and they had pvp lessons together and a heart to heart as the sun rised and in the end the community house lays abandoned and bobby fields is filled with copies of the best day they had together and the attic is never looked at again and the top floor of bobbys tower isnt either.
hey: your f/o is so proud of you. they are so proud of how far you came from what you went through, it mightve been tough and you mightve thought you would never be about out of that type of situation, or simply think you cannot build your walls again from the crumbling down but truth is: your f/o is so proud of you.
you made it. you are here. even if you are still healing from those things, even if there are days where everything feels wrong: your f/o is so proud of you and will always be there for you no matter what. for comfort, to vent, to anything; they love you.
Sometimes I think about how my parents are fine with watching things with portrayals of drug users, smokers, and murderers in them (not trying to equate substance use to murder, to be clear); but the second a male character even sounds mildly effeminate, they shut off the TV??? Because it’s a bad influence??!!?!
Like, my dudes…. According to your religion all of those people are from the world; all of them are sinning, and “voluntary” sin is a symptom of hereditary sin. According to your belief system, certain people are predisposed to certain types of sin, including homosexuality. Theoretically, you should react to us as you would any other sinner; but you don’t. Why are we so offensive to you that you would rather watch some poor astronaut die screaming and hemorrhaging on a dinner table than view a queer-coded character for more than twenty seconds??
do you have already some ideas for pride au s? i need to know what is going on in that blender that ur brain is. do u see him with high waisted levi’s and crop tops??? is he a total doormat for smiths enjoyer r??? i need to know more
hi omg yes! yes i do! s' deal is slightly different to r's, in that r has no parallel/does not correspond to any character in the original film, so i'm basically inserting him as a figure into the narrative (although as irrelevant as this is, to me he is. closest to bill nighy's cliff if cliff was a young man in the eighties xx), whereas s more or less fills the position that mark fills in the film. but other than that he is completely free 4 me to characterise and i think he will be so fun honestly! from the thoughts ive had so far hes sort of a mess of a guy at least to begin with. he is kind of moving at a hundred miles and hour + throwing himself into organizing this thing but if you were to slow him down and put him under a microscope hes uhhh. quite lost + lonely in a way. i expect it will not take him very long to become quite embarrassingly gone for r i think he will consider him the best thing since. sliced bread within hours of meeting him he is imagining them both as the two maidens of pompeii its. a really poor performance from him. he thinks r’s accent is sooo sexy every time he talks s is twirling his hair like omggggg. say that again or please elaborate please tell me more…please…..
also i am looking forward to dressing him up in fun outfits again because he is first and foremost my barbie i am just not sure what yet! i am not as familiar with the eighties as i am with the seventies in a lot of ways so. the setting and everything that comes with that will be really fun to research xx although i am struggling to decide on s' music taste!! r lends himself very well to eighties music i think i could build him a record collection easily (including the smiths sad but true) whereas. s seemed to fit better in the seventies :-/ i am not sure what hes listening to in the eighties apart from seventies records he hasnt let go of yet!! and despite the much more glaring aspects of this fic i have yet to turn my attention to frankly. deciding what silly little songs s wants to listen to is currently one of my main priorities xx
Quick Octopath Traveler 2 PSA: the description for one of the warrior skills, Enervating Slash, is currently incorrect .
while the game says that the skill is supposed to nullify all positive status effects on a single foe, the reality is that opposite is true. the damage of this skill scales off of the amount of positive status effects of the user. In the first clip of this video, Hikari uses the skill against an enemy with a defence buff, yet their status effects do not nullify like the game says it should. compare this to the second clip, where Hikari does more damage despite none of his buffs enhancing physical damage. also note that all said buffs disappear following the attack.
It seems that this not a case of mistranslation, but an error of text also existent in the Japanese version of the game as well.
Enervating Slash has the potential to do more damage than Hikari’s ultimate skill, so hopefully a patch will soon be released that corrects this mistake.
i stumbled across a post that asked a peculiar question — “could you explain to me what it's like knowing your f/o chose you?”
during my mindless scrolling, this caught me off-guard. my mind blanked for the fraction of a second before i wondered “did he choose me?”
but yes, of course he did. from the moment i stepped into his marvelous world filled with wonders and mysteries my own one could only dream of, he chose me. whilst i always perceive myself as ordinary, he thinks i’m special; brilliant, even. so unlike those he met before. a curious, lively soul trapped inside a vessel that has seen the ugly side of the world time and time again, that is too scared to take a first step, never-mind a second one, that would rather spend all the days that were yet to come inside their comfort zone — because that is easier, less scary.
it's not the reason he stays, but it's the reason he reaches out for me. the way he can hear every fiber of my being begging to see the stars — the way my eyes sparkle with years of unshed burden. at heart, he was curious too; needed to know my story and what i could show him. he couldn't have been able to stop himself even if he had tried, i had conquered his fortress of a heart the moment words spilled pass my lips.
and despite fearing he might drown in my passion, he dives in and tackles every last tidal wave until he can feel our hearts beating as one. because he is certain of one thing: he chooses me and he won't let me go.
knowing this feels bizarre in the most wonderful ways. i thought him so much greater than me, with all he can do and all he has done. yet, here he is, in all his magnificence, with me standing right beside him and shining just as brightly.
They aren't always replacing letters in certain ways. They can be anything related to replacing letters, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, spacing, etc.! They can be subtle, or super obvious, and anythin' that you might not even realize could be a typing quirk can be one!
And most importantly: They're all valid! However you type, there's nothing wrong with it, and nothing wrong with you.
Hello butches, public service announcement, Lex from Bookworm Adventures thinks you Very Good and also Astonishing. He is 100% correct. Go butches!! ❤️
[+] my revision of formulation for the whole study & thesis was majorly approved, ppl can no longer pretend to or actually be lost
[+] minion² was contained, showed up in person and got the sense that no one was going to take his nonsense
[+] no major disagreement between the supes, all subteams understand their tasks
[-] back-to-back-to-back meetings w advisors, integrators, external working groups, and study lead in the next two weeks
[-] i have to finish reading... 15+ papers and compile their data
[-] fix a data structure implementation in my optimization model that i had promised since... nov last year lol (it wasn't entirely necessary. until now)
we'll see if i'm in the mood for stress relief writing instead of just stress relief daydreaming... there's a lot of stuff for every fic but it's all over the place. tpac hyperfixation is still holding strong (esp when compared to all other wips, it is second place for most concrete ending + actual epilogue)
(first place is larb bc every chapter is outlined and scoped; just haven't felt like writing it)
(not saying the other fics don't have planned endings but besides their plot i don't have the context for the endings yet. the shape of the ending scenes are very much informed by the long, in-between chapters)
