#proved me wrong huh

[godbirdart]

got rid of an old cat tree like a year ago and it was a mistake because apparently, this tree was my cat’s favourite tree. in the history of all the trees she’s ever had, this was THE ONE she cared about. she has never mourned the departure of any other trees over the last decade and a half of her life. she has had two BRAND NEW ones since and she barely interacts with even a single scratch post on them, only climbing one out of Pure Obligation because i place her food there. the only reason the tree had to go was because 1: at the time, the manufacturer wouldn’t ship parts to my country and 2: it was lookin real rough. so yeah. guess who’s fucking repurchasing this same goddamned tree

#she better appreciate this i swear to god #she is living up to her Rescue Name #the shelter named her Princess #and i was just: nah #but boy she was out to prove me wrong for the last fourteen years huh!!! #to be fair the new trees were kinda a downgrade because i was on a budget #but whatever #clearly she loved This One so i'm getting her a new one #my cat lives in a small apartment #whatever gives her happiness is well worth the hole it'll put in my pocket #no cost is too great for my cat's mental health

Y’all can say whatever you want, but I freaking miss this era of them

#just posting each other so regularly huh #bf? no? #bf behavior prove me wrong #actually no I don’t think couples even do this much #it’s giving I have a crush on him but I need to pretend like we’re just doing PR. nothing too obvious #(it’s very obvious) #(these stories are so genuine and natural) #bet they giggled after posting these #I need to shut up #charlos #c2 #c squared

Shinjiham is cute when it’s romantic but tbh I think i vastly prefer the idea of them being best friends instead. Like, neither of them really saw it coming and weren’t really looking to get another best friend (Shinji has Akihiko, Kotone has Junpei and Yukari respectively) but it happens anyway. Kotone takes a liking to Shinji much faster than she does anyone else and I’d say a big reason is just the fact that he’s so reserved that it allows Kotone to do most of the talking while he just listens and they love this arrangement cuz Kotone doesn’t get to talk about her own interests very much. Though I think some of her needs to talk to Shinji stems from this insecurity that he isn’t happy in the group and she has this people pleasing problem and wants everyone to be happy so she makes a much bigger effort to talk to Shinji. And it’s very unfortunate because Shinji intentionally acts cold and distant because he doesn’t want to form any attachments because he wants to die soon, but aaaaaaaagh dammit this girl just keeps talking to him and being sweet and encouraging him to engage in his interests and share them with the others and he just can’t seem to say no when she’s got those damn puppy eyes. And Kotone is just able to get him out of his shell by being persistent but not in an overwhelming way, she’s very cheerful and supportive of him. And Shinji is able to offer her support by encouraging her to talk about herself and by making sure she’s taking care of herself. They just click really well and make such a positive dent in each other’s lives and it’s all about basic acts of kindness going a long way you know?

#persona #persona 3 #kotone shiomi #shinjiro aragaki #i uh. probably didnt do much here to prove that their relationship is best when its platonic akjsks i mean idk how to convey it #that these two are just so good for each other but that im just not feeling it romantically #and why should i honestly like cant a guy and a girl just be platonic soulmates like me and jackie aljsks #plus i just have other ships with these characters i like better ahem akishinji and mitsuham yall already know #and i just feel really comforted by their relationship being best friends cuz it makes the pocket watch a lot more power of friendship #and it just. irks me the idea that its romantic love that saves shinji and its romantic love that gave him a will to live #cuz first off you can save him without romancing him and also like if you think kotone is the only person he wants to live for #youre just wrong like in fact its very clear in his social link that he feels this strong love for everyone #its literally like why other characters are so ingrained into his link he loves everyone and they love him back #its just kotone who organizes the time for them all to get together plus like idk when ppl say shinji only wants to live after romancing #kotone its like. well hes not gonna have a good time post coma then huh #and i suppose the point being made is he has to learn to live even if his gf isnt there but again like. shes not the only thing he has #idk i just hate this like pedestal romantic relationships are put on and i hate the implications that like #akihiko has been trying for years to protect shinji and his love doesnt matter cuz it isnt some heterosexual romance #grrrrr it just irks me is all and yeah i just think theyre besties who do everything together #kotone is like shinjis emotional support animal that guides him through the scary crowds and shinji is off putting enough to scare away the #meanies that come their way and they have a dress up montage and make cookies

it was three years on the third of this month since I started writing fics for bnha 🥲 and to think I started writing fics again bc of a bkdk dream that I couldn’t stop thinking about :))))

#and I’m still here #who woulda thunk #(me. my hyper fixations can last for years when uninterrupted by outside stimuli) #(and being in a pandemic and not going in person for school is outside stimuli if that wasn’t obvious btw) #but that’s crazy omg three years and almost a hundred fics 🥲 #my brain just won’t shut up huh #also the dream was actually my first *** dream ALSJDDKDJ #I didn’t think I could have them but. that night proved me wrong I fear. #—in store chit chat! 🍫

Sweet prince(ss) this, belladonna that, miss journalist here, my beloved there… do you even KNOW my name???

#( do you even know it. ) #( you seem like the type of guy who’d take me to Starbucks and have me use my name for the drink order because you didn’t know it beforehand #and couldn’t be bothered to ask. ) #( we’ll be seven years into our relationship and you still wouldn’t know my name. huh. bastard. ) #( belladonna me one more time I dare you!!!!!! ) #( say my name!!! say it!!!! say!!!!! it!!!! right now!!!! prove me wrong!!!!!!! ) #( but we both know you won’t. because you can’t say my name because you don’t know it for a DAMN. ) #( throwing my hands into the air. tossing them even. ) #( and then you have the audacity to beg me not to leave you!!! and that you’re scared of being left alone!!!! ) #( alone in all encompassing darkness. in chains. shackles. as you’re bound to a life as a flower shrouded in darkness who’s only option is #to wither and to rot away until you become nothing more than a hollowed #and empty shell of the man you once were because someone else wrote a story in which you could never win. and you’ve lost your mind to #the madness that lies around every corner. and you’ll always be beaten up and broken down. dissected and torn apart. your mind broken. your #soul abused and your life torn to pieces like paper in the shredder. ) #( and you shall never be able to love for your love has been twisted beyond repair and the only love you can give is the mercy of death for #loving you is akin to loving the grim reaper as he takes you away by your hand to a distant place unseen by man. ) #( BUT EVEN THE GRIM REAPER WOULD KNOW MY NAME SO…….

Lord help me I’ve gotten nothing done on my assignments today but I am outlining a fic that’s more like a bloody novel

#ffffffuuck #in good news though it turns out that taking a break and reading a lot DOES rekindle your creative energy and inspiration #it is too soon for me to be in another manic writing phase though. three more weeks and then i'll be good.......... #anyway uhhh... if anyone is interested in another one of my ultra-specific borderline-au queer quartet adventure fics.. you're in luck! #gotta finish it before 2old2guard comes out and proves that my interpretation of quynh is completely wrong #(daydreaming in the shower all wide-eyed) this one will have the elixir of life! and lepers! and deceit! and more made-up european lords! #and will probably require a sensitivity read or two actually #been planning it for about a year but it's only now actually forming into a real story #i'm really just playing with barbies but instead of modern aus it's vaguely historical escapades huh #i could turn it into original fiction but where's the fun in that and also the fact that they're immortal is always a key element

[bring-the-storm]

okay but seriously i thought normal's life couldn't get any worse

#anthony just loves to prove me wrong #dndads #stormy rambles #so that new ep huh #hold on i'm just going to be thinking about this for the rest of the month

[linoguy]

MY BOY???? MY SON????? who let him out like that... im proud but also wtf guy

#a year ago i was making fun of your body rolls cause you couldnt do them and now youre seeking to prove me wrong huh #SAD! m was found wrong

[mymarifae]

but like i am so serious. the akito-honami besties agenda. you are all going to look at it and understand it someday very soon (i finally drafted out a coherent pretty long fic about them becoming friends in my head) i’m making this everybody else’s problem

#LISTEN. they are both big soft sweeties who love to take care of their friends (as much as akito tends to hate to admit it) #they are both easily flustered and they both have a massive sweet tooth #they both struggle with abandonment issues and feeling like they're the weak link in their music/friend groups #honami is soft-spoken but she has this unwavering courage and determination about her that rivals akito's #just as he does she continues to persevere. and move forward. and seeks out constant self-improvement #just as he is she is always aware of her flaws and they both want to overcome them and prove everyone who ever doubted them WRONG #and their respective circles of friends overlap they're like . 1 and 1/2 degrees of separation from each other #like *gestures at honami's new friendship with ena* SHE'S RIGHT THERE. they are so close to Meeting #they would just Click on a fundamental level. i don't think friendship would be literally instant between them #but once they know who the other is they'll see that like 'oh shit we know all the same people and go to all the same places huh' #and they'll inevitably be drawn together. and then <3 besties. leave me alone

[pizzaqueen]

On one hand, I know my headcanons/interpretations of canon are probably wrong. On the other hand, I like them and I’m stubborn!

#so what’s a gal to do huh? #i could adopt the ones I don’t like but that are probably right but the more I see them the more I cling to my wrong ones 🤣 #it’s not my most attractive feature and I’m sure canon will prove me wrong and I’ll have to eat humble pie lol #but for now I’m still clinging lol #sorry by don’t like I don’t mean I think they’re wrong or stupid or whatever! #just that they don’t necessarily do it for me I guess #ugh this is why I shouldn’t talk lol #misc #fandom #tbd #anyway sorry I keep making posts and deleting them! #i think this came across the wrong way??

my mother needs to play ace attorney i need her to play it

#she literally told me that friends dont exist and that i shouldnt bother getting anymore #bc past friends have only hurt the family and myself (not true) #and then asked why i was crying later on like LADY???? #LADY I HAVE PLAYED 8 AND A HALF GAMES CENTRED AROUND WHY YOURE WRONG #THE MOST IMPORTANT THING U GOTTA REMEMBER IS TO TRUST YOUR CLIENT NO MATTER WHAT TO THE BITTER END #OMFG PLEASE YOU CANT JUST GO OUT AND KILL MY SOCIAL LIFE LIKE THAT #i used to have the mentality of 'trust no-one' and im trying REALLY hard to heal myself of that bc its wrong and trying to open myself up #to ppl and actually thrive in a group but noooo u just hafta kill the drift huh... #ughhhh i feel sick #she also said that the only friend i could have was god. like. as if he doesnt want me dead for being trans #anyways time to sit her down and make her play dgs or something. i need to prove shes wrong #this is sort of a vent idk i need to yell into the void bc i am. very sad #im SO SAD MR NARUHODO. SO VERY UPSET AND RATHER DISHEVELED. I DID NOT GET A GOOD SLEEP LAST NIGHT #shutuplance🧡 #im sorry goodbye

[shibe]

i think the worst part of it all is the realization that the rose colored glasses are finally coming off

#usually id be so happy that he wanted me and whatever but now it’s like #idk…it doesn’t feel the same #and just the things he does and says i used to be able to chalk it up to jealousy but it’s not it’s just genuine disinterest #accepting that he was never the person i thought he was #also acknowledging that yeah he might also be a bit of a bad person on top of a bad boyfriend #ugh having these realizations at work makes me want to vomit #on the previous tag idk it’s not disinterest it’s more like #it’s jarring i guess? #idk it just feels like he isn’t someone i should want in my life because he’s genuinely like…bad for me #it’s really funny because a few days ago in therapy i was crying over how i can’t hate him and now it’s not hate #it’s just pure disappointment #like huh you never were what i thought you were #ugh #WHATEVER CAMI UR FINE UR GOOD LIFE IS GOOD #actually the worst part is i want him to prove me wrong

[pigspeetsandhooflikefeets]

Legit, if you looked back at Guy Towers while receiving doggy, not only would he wave, but he would reach in for a fist bump if you stared for too long

if you don't fistbump him, he'll look sad, but he won't say anything. and like afterwards he'll turn to you when you're both in the afterglow and be like "I really didn't like that you didn't fistbump me back then. was something wrong?" and you HAVE to not laugh or it'll hurt his feelings and it's SO hard.

#sex is inherently funny and I choose to make it funnier #I really chose to fall in love with Guy Towers of all the hosts huh #jacketybox mumbles #bimbocore #nsft / #[writes and posts a fic where this bit happens] and I'd love to see how you'll prove me wrong for this

i binged sk8 the infinity at the weekend and i enjoyed it a lot. for a show with an ai robot skateboard and tricks that would be 100% deadly irl it’s a surprisingly grounded show.

like yes, the costumes and personas of the background characters are over the top, the villain is extra as hell and creepy af in a truly anime fashion. the skateboarding power moves are there to emphasize that this is a sports anime true to its genre. it’s all super entertaining in this classical sports anime way with really stunning animation moments. and yes, one of the protags is super gifted and becomes a top tier skater in ridiculous time.

but the skating actually feels grounded despite that. the non power move things they do are real things skateboarders do. their boards have these visual styles that feel right, there’s this street aesthetic to everything, including street art stickers. and it’s all filmed like a rl skateboarding video, like the creators watched a shit ton of those and really understood the visual language of that. (yes, i do love to the street art aesthetic in all its forms)

the other thing that feels grounded are the characters. the background ones are more comic relief and they also have these personas when they skate - i have no clue if rl skateboarders do that actually or was this done due to the anime conventions and for entertainment value - so they are extra at times and don’t get that much development but they are also endearing. the two that feel more grounded are the honorary straight, shadow, he’s such a fun character, and the brat miya, he’s got such perfect middleschooler energy. 

the grounding kind of falls flat for me with the villain, my attitude to him very much mimics langa’s attitude. the dude is a great skater but he’s also weird and cringe so he’s not really interesting. i loved how langa was all the time: i really don’t give an f about your creepy personal issues, i’m not going to react to that, i just find you upsetting because you hurt my friends and also an interesting skating challenge. when they rolled out the villains back story my thoughts were: i know that’s meant to be sad and it kinda is but i also don’t care about you, now go to jail. no the subtext kink dynamic with the other guy you have going isn’t really doing it for me either, go to jail.

where the character writing shines is with the main two. they don’t have personas, they are just themselves in their daily life and during the underground skateboarding events.

reki is enthusiastic and passionate but also vulnerable in a way that’s relatable. his crisis feels very real in a teenage depression kind of way, or even an adhd rejection kind of way - though i’m not saying i think he has adhd in canon, i try not to diagnose characters, it just felt very relatable to me, a person with adhd, in how it all played out. and how the crisis is in reki’s mind very much about langa but the little detail of how it affects others was just so good. like how depression is so self-absorbing.

langa is quiet and not great in social situations but he’s very much present. he’s not standoffish and above it all, he’s really there taking everything in even if he’s sometimes slow to react to social situations. but he’s really focused on reki and attached to him and it’s just such a strong relationship. and it’s really cool how langa asks for advice and talks when the situation demands it.

because omg they talk it out like people, and that’s just rare in media period, not just manga/anime which can be extremely emotionally constipated due to its cultural background - i don’t mean that all japanese people never talk openly about their emotions or that they never had until recently or whatever but there is a certain culture of understatements in japanese language and it influences such things as pop culture cliches which deal in exaggeration and super exposing of cultural ideals. tangent aside the conversation was super real, awkward and it hit just right.

this is much longer that i planned. so just honorable mentions.

the anime really is there to cater to the shipping crowd. the two mains are very much implied to be a thing by the text of the show, and i think some creators also implied that though i’m not 100% on that. but i don’t think the show’s going to say it in open text in the following season(s) because it’s still a shonen anime. it can go fanservice all it wants but an openly queer protag in shonen is imho decades away. the rest of the cast is eyecandy very much made to cater to the female/queer gaze. while the og japanese version is subtext, though very loud subtext at times, about it, the dub apparently took it and ran with it and made it very queer.

it’s set in okinawa and that means the world to me. and it also gives a certain unique aesthetic to the show.

#off topic #collecting my thoughts about a show i liked #gosh i really do care only about cool animations and charactes #huh #like the sports anime cliches really don't deter me at all #even though the plot is really by the book nothing special #i made a prediction about the characters' canon relationship #the showrunners should feel free to prove me wrong #like honestly making predictions online is probably the dumbest thing you can do online #if we exclude being offensive under your real name on twitter
