#relationship: remember your heart

[jeeaark]

I will never be able to do the sunset scene justice. I will never be able to recreate the most beautiful, romantic confession, character growth showing, most heart-pouring-out mushy bits you ever did see in a githyanki. Because I.

Am a fool.

Who really wanted a dialogue option asking if keeping an illithid in the squad was gonna be a deal-breaker with this relationship.

Probably woulda ruined the tender moment pitching the piña colada friendship there.

....100% it would.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #bg3 #bg3 fanart #bg3 comic #lae'zel #greygold #babe's taking that protective love language very seriously #But seriously every conversation with lae'zel during act 3 felt like I was one wrong dialogue option away with her breaking up with me #The dawning horror when you realize the sole joy of your life is trying to befriend your brain-eating mortal enemy #The dawning horror when you realize you've placed all your joy in an optimistically delusional fool #This is probably validating Lae'zel's fear of sharing her heart #because she placed her heart in Greyg and Greyg is now cowabungaing off a cliff into redeem-the-irredeemable-or-die-trying-ville #I'm so sorry Lae'zel kladjfkdjf #remember when I said relationships can get bumpy~?

I understand the idea of Leah like not hanging out with Elliott if you go out with her but I also hate the very idea with a passion because WHY CAN THERE BE NO FRIENDS ? Their friendship dynamic is so nice to think about why do I have to ruin it just to go out with the pretty artist lady??

#Also if I remember right she cuts him off when you hit SIX hearts with her ?? #YOURE NOT EVEN TOGETHER AT THAT POINT #all of the pairs should be allowed to hang out while in a relationship let them be 3d characters im begging you #stardew valley #sdv #sdv leah #sdv elliot #sdv elliott

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)

Ouhhhh friendship I love friendship……..

#I’m reading volumes 14-16 of the ouran manga OOUGHHH MY HEART #I love this weird little friend group so much its unreal #like u have this charming sweeps you off your feet prince but he’s actually a huge lovable idiot with a kind heart and his friends #who are all misfits that he reached out to and drew in because of his kindness and own weirdness like that shits TIGHT BRO #and the trauma part where he has some deep seated issues with love bc he thinks that itll break a family apart like with his mom #how his family isnt allowed to be together because his mom and dad fell in love and how he says he wants to build a big house #so that way one day everyone will get along as a family like. all he wants is not to lose everyone and the only way to do that is #by maintaining a certain order.. he both wants a complete family so bad and doesnt want anything to sour between anyone #so he assigns each of his friends a family role based on how he sees them and YEAH its mostly played for giggles and tamakis #already weird so its his way of showing theyre close to him but. god damn this boy has LAYERS #it also feels kinda meta towards how found family tends to get thrown around to assign characters as 'siblings' or family roles instead of #using it to describe characters who are close enough to be each others family. cuz tamakis doing that EXACT THING in a way tht #ties in with his character and i have to say its fascinating using that within the story itself and its completely plausible #theres a lot of things i can say about ouran that are good bad and questionable but. god i love it when characters are niceys to each other #i remember i really liked the kyoya episode bc him and haruhi got to spend time together and their relationship isnt very close #but it was really nice to see their personalities bounce off each other. i think i also wouldve liked to see haruhi alone with kaoru #i also firmly believe all of the hosts are at least a little in love with haruhi and this can be anything like endearing romantic cuz like #who DOESNT love haruhi. kyoya i think would want to study her under a microscope like his fascination with her draws him in #but im fucking obsessed with whatever haruhi and tamaki have going on because YES hes obsessed with her YES he jumps at the chance to #put her in a cute costume but haruhi? she just fucking goes with it because she knows hes fun to be around even if hes a little wacky abt i #theyre all so. NNGGHHHH #ouran #ohshc #yapping

I think Lexaeus and Zexion's relationship is mutually beneficial and they're both aware of it. Zexion reaps a lot more obvious benefits (protection, a listening ear, an extra set of hands), but in my mind the reason why Lexaeus protects Zexion in the first place is because of the immense guilt he feels for not being able to save anyone in his first life.

Zexion lets Lexaeus use him as a means of assuaging that guilt, and Lexaeus lets Zexion use him for... basically everything. And they do really care about each other but Nobodies are so fucking bad at recognizing that they're even capable of caring about anything so they both think they're just using each other like they're two separate kingdoms with a trade agreement or something and not close colleagues

#kingdom hearts #lexaeus #zexion #this is what my pinned post is for! dont tag as ship pleaseeeee #also @ lexaeus so you realized nothing was truly upheld on your watch #and dedicated yourself to protecting one specific person in order to cling onto your hollow pride? ok knight of despair #remember when I said ienzo probably thinks people using each other is a normal part of any relationship #yeah #zexienzo posting never ends huh #kh headcanons #me post

at what point between Za'tarc testing and Threads do you think it would be most crushingly, precipitously painful for Sam and Jack to encounter another Alternate Universe Mirror Sam and Jack, who are of course Together (as usual)? I'm trying to decide what the maximum angst point would be for fic writing reasons 🤔

#sam x jack #stargate sg1 #sg1 #quantum mirror strikes again #i've been planning this fic for a while but I feel motivated to nail down specifics and get somewhere with it #i've been waffling on A) if daniel should be ascended at the time or not #and B) if I should trust my instinct that Jack should not be in charge of the base yet for this pivot point #the later it is the more painful and believable the fallout and yet. other things make me lean towards s6 timeframe #even though i initially pictured daniel there too #many moving parts. lots to decide #this is the 'sam/other wasn't a bad idea but i hated pete so it's an oc' fic idea #which is not the same as the established un-relationship fic #to be clear #if there's ever enough of either of them to post they will need more functional names huh #oh wait i did name one i remember now it's #fic: lay your heart out

What would you have changed about the Bleach final arc?

I kept thinking a lot about it, especially remembering everything from Bleach i have consumed. Since i'm terrible at writing metas, this will be kind of a simple answer ok 😭?

Make Uryu be the center of the arc, alongside with Ichigo, poor boy was so erased after SS arc, so this was his chance to shine again and made his bond with Ichigo stronger

Make Uryu and Ichigo defeat Yhwach. Idc if they would take power from their a$$es, seeing these two destroying the man who killed their mothers would be insane! They should be fighting together, not fcking Renji!

Give Rukia more screen time and importance, she was the second protagonist for the sake of god!

It would be good if Ori and Chad were more relevant for once...

Explain what happened with the rest of cast! Millions of characters disappeared and we know nothing about them after all;

Make Ichigo live in Soul Society, it can be in any way! My preference is he being a captain of gotei 13! But he could even be a lieutenaunt or just in some squad that i would be happy!

Chad could be a judo teacher! Especially since this is a self defense matial art! So he would use his fists to help protecting people :D

URYU WOULD BE A FAMOUS FASHION DESIGNER!!!

Orihime has so much possibilities man! She could be a nurse, a doctor, a pediatrician, a teacher, even a baker! As much she's working, i would be happy!

I would like to Ishihime be together! Especially because i feel these two have the vibes of wanting to date/be married, plus Ori could know the world, since Uryu would be famous!

IR? Well, there's nothing explicit about their relationship status, so you can imagine whatever you want about them 🤭

But Ichigo and Rukia are always together in everything!

They would reunite in Chad's house to see Uryu's fashion show! Ryuken would be watching too. Ori would be there with her husband in the vip session

Ichigo and Rukia would go back together to Soul Society after a while, with Isshin observing them meanwhile he smiles

When they enter the Soul Society, there's already enemies for them to defeat

And the manga would end with Ichigo and Rukia fighting side by side while smiling! Since it all started with them, it will end with them!

And of course no R//R

#anti bleach ending #ishihime #anti ichihime #anti renruki #just in case #anti 686 #i hope this answer your question! #i imagine rukia always asking ichigo to go to the human world #don't get me wrong i love IR! #but i think an open ending to their relationship would be fun #because you can interpret the various ways they could be together or even if they're already together but isn't explicit #at least i like these kind of things 😆 #since ishihime would've happened i//h would never exist #thanks to god #my biggest wish was to Uryu be the grey/yuno/kaiba to ichigo #but he barely appeared 😭 #i got more hurted after writing this #since i had to remember that ending 😭 #i felt like someone was pressing my heart #i just wanted my group to be happy man #if you wanted a more in depth thing i'm sorry #there's great posts on the tag #i always need to put ridiculous censoring in my posts

Also a lot of people need to revisit Alinsky's very wise point that you don't show up to organize a bunch of orthodox Jews while eating a ham sandwich.

#deliberately antagonizing people or making a big point about #how you are not like them is not a good way #to get them to listen or build understanding #so of your goal is to change hearts and minds or like #build understanding and relationships inorder to #move the needle. something to remember #of course antagonizing is sometimes the goal but #be aware of when if it makes sense yknow

how i’m holding up after watching the beginning of the end for the first time and seeing discord’s speech to twilight

#sid speaks #horseposting #twicord #they’re so. hrrrgghh #the evolution of their relationship over the course of the series is so gorgeous #you can see her getting more comfortable with him & ribbing him back #because she’s come to understand discord being annoying is just his love language #and he respects her. he wants to succeed. #can’t remember the name of the ep that came after that with him in it but when he called her ‘your majesty’ #i legitimately almost started crying LMAO #why does nobody talk about twicord. oh my god they make my heart ache #HIS SUPPOSED SACRIFICE FOR HER MADE HER BRAVE. POUNDS MY FISTS ON THE FLOOR.

I recently found out people ship Cassandra with Apollo.

My initial reaction was...

Just tan their hides. You know what happened to her because the the bastard, don't you?..

Then, I was overwhelmed by morbid curiosity, and checked AO3. People are writing rape fics about them. ...Why?..

Could I ever see Cassandra x Apollo?.. I don't know, maybe. But, definitely not the nonsense I mentioned. Dubcon at most. I guess, he might somehow coerce her into sleeping with him, and later rescue her from the fall of Troy, because she's pregnant with his child, or something (Zeus would be pissed, I'm fine with that).

Sounds like an intriguing story, with a lot of morally questionable elements. I can imagine Apollo confiding in Artemis, wondering why his wife is so upset. She'd just go "are you serious rn?.. -_-".

...What, you're surprised I'm among those I wish to hide with a broom? Don't be. It happens quite often, actually.

#greek mythology #greek myth fandom #apollo #cassandra #apollo x cassandra #diary pages #thoughts #greek gods #this is such a fucked up pairing #in the iliad you like apollo then remember what he did cassandra #i don't blame her for rejecting his advances he's an entitled fboy with nine girlfriends and she wanted to remain chaste #the way he responded is very cruel honestly cassandra's story breaks my heart #of course i'm discussinv them as characters not religious figures #apollo can be such a creep #greek myth fanfic #fanfiction ideas #what the hell i have a hundred epics in my wips already including one with apollo #but i SHOULD put this aside the “Apollo coerces Cassandra then saves her because she's pregnant” #it's dark but also very intriguing to explore... it isn't supposed to be hot really well maybe later #dionysus married ariadne why can't apollo marry cassandra #she wouldn't want to marry him but what other choice would she have #their further relationship just seems so fascinating #yeah apollo would be confused why she's upset - he'd get her being upset about the fall of troy but not why she's upset with him #but as gods do he'd imagine she should be happy about getting rescued by him #why am i doing this to myself (and cassandra) #i suppose... i just want a better ending for cassandra (back to the fic idea) which this would be even though she'd have to deal with apollo #side note imagine the “pairing” in disney's hercules it would be hilarious #cassandra confronting hercules about his creepy older cousin trying to hit on her #or icarus trying to ask apollo if she'll go out with him and apollo replying “if you have my luck she'll just throw a shoe at your face” #she should take out a restraining order also

how is dostoyevsky not "comfort reading" he wrote a novel about killing your dad and a novel about killing an old pawnbroker b/c you think you're napoleon and one about a sad little lesbian with a crush on the meanest girl she knows who sings when no one's looking he never finished b/c he got sent to siberia and one about what if you introduced a horse to some convicts and made them so happy! then befriended a dog and the landlady. haunted. landlady haunted one

#I will be real demons and gambler nearest and dearest to my heart right now and I can't defend either of those #house of the dead is extremely good barely remember landlady but pretty sure it was the daughter who was haunted? just making a joke #couldn't think of any jokes for poor folk or the idiot sorry but people should read idiot prince myshkin best boy and we love nastasya #a raw youth is about being 19 annoying and having a fractured relationship with your father no one likes it besides me #uncle's dream is better than landlady read that instead #dostoyevsky #fyodor dostoyevsky

#sometimes it really hurts more that they’re well intentioned #and love me and want me to be part of the family still #than if they didn’t try to keep me included at all #like just. it just is rough that they’ll never acknowledge I’m living with a partner and committed #and have been in the relationship for years #they want me to come be a part of things and they want me to be happy and #they send a congrats on your new home card but don’t mention her. they include me in a family vacation jigsaw puzzle but not her even though #i told them I won’t lie to the kids and that she and I are a package deal for family parties and things if we do come into town for them #I can’t stop trying because I’ve seen them be so diffferent with the grandkids than to me on some things #and I’ve seen some of them treating me pretty normal despite everything about their beliefs #but I just #don’t know how many years it’ll take for me to learn to navigate this weird zone #I can’t talk to friends because they don’t understand how good and genuine my family is and only know the parts that hurt me in the past yrs #and I can’t talk to family because they get how good my family is at the heart of things but can’t understand the bad parts enough to #get how half of me wished I could never have to remember any of the good because it’s hard to protect myself if I do #but the line between black and white has to be walked #even if ONLY for my own sake because I have to un train black and white thinking from every area of my worldview #but anyway #it’s just hard. nothing particularly to be done about it. I just need to say it’s hard sometimes #it doesn’t seem to hurt less each time #it’s the same #but I think I’m getting better at not letting it affect my actual daily experience for as long now #idk #it’s hard. it will be for a long time. it’s worth trying anyway. #I know we’re double nope in that we’re queer and we’re not even civil married much less sacramentally married #so we’re in like five separate levels of mortal sin yadda yadda #but I tell you x hurts and you do x again and it sucks. I see you improving in other ways so I have hope but GOD it sucks right now. fuck #shh katie #personal

#The whole situation is just so completely absurd #It's like... today a very desperate family member of a client wrote to us begging us to help him #because said client was abducted by Hamas and is presumably being held in the Gaza strip #and since he's also a German citizen maybe we can get the embassy to help (except there's nothing anyone can do) #(this morning the embassy also told us they're essentially closed but if we want there are German army evacuation flights) #Simultaneously you're trying to explain to German authorities that you can't submit documents at the moment #Because there currently is no bureaucracy in Israel because everything is either closed or busy with the war #Then you open WhatsApp and see peoples status about their friend who fell today at the front #Then the siren goes off (we've had sirens during work hours every single day now) #and in between all of that you try to do your normal work and laundry and dishes and have a relationship #and try not to go crazy while reading all the insane takes on social media about what's going on #rn I can hear the sirens in the distance and several loud booms #and it's like my heart stops and then you just remember oh right this is normal now #it's absolutely insane that's what it is

Sex scenes don't bother me as much as kiss scenes. When the characters are making out in a way that indicates it will lead to sex, I'd scream at the screen "Just take off your pants and start grinding under the covers already!" because I cannot watch them mash their mouths together for another second.

That being said, I'm not a huge fan of sex scenes because firstly—I can't take the movements seriously, and if there's sound effects, there's also a high chance of me laughing. Secondly, the squishiness of the human body is another thing I can't take seriously. When I first watched the Only Friends trailer, and I saw that scene where Sand thumbs Ray's tattoo, I thought it was a butt tattoo because of the way the skin bounced in slow-motion, but no, it's actually a hip tattoo; the human skin is just that springy on every part of the body. While everyone was going crazy because of the tattoo-touch, I'm laughing because the bounce was so pronounced.

Basically, kiss scenes ick me out while sex scenes are comedy.

omg that sounds like such a fun way to experience sex scenes tho!! i wish my reaction was more like that rather than convulsion. i'd much rather experience a comedy show tbh dfjkkdgj

also interesting point you bring up about the human body being so squishy. i never really thought about it but yeah. human bodies are just so weird?????? actually, only the other week i was talking with another friend (who's likely also ace-spec) about just how humans (and tbh even animals) will just have things dangling from them?? whether it be genitalia or boobs or whatever. like, those body parts are just... hanging there?? and technically even your arms but at least you can control those. meanwhile my boobs will just bounce depening on what movements i make and i can't control them and they're just hanging from my chest while i go about my life. like, why?? i want dog boobs where you mostly have just the nipples and they only really get big when i have an actual child to feed (i know human breasts also swell when they fill with milk during a pregnancy, but why do i have to have two balls of meat hanging from my chest even when i'm not pregnant?? who thought of this design??). coming back to your point of the human body being so squishy and actually yeah, i'm realizing now that i can't take it seriously when people talk about how hot boobs are precicely because boobs are so squishy and also so wobbly and just. how is this not funny to people? dkdfjdjfk

and lmao i remember everyone going crazy over the tattoo!!!!! i realized right away that it's on the hip but maybe that was bc i remembered the placement of it from the eclipse. which is also why that scene didn't make me laugh, i was actually too busy trying to read what it said bc in the eclipse we never got to see that tattoo up close enough in order to be able to read it. so while everyone was freaking out i was just sitting in my corner like "omg so the tattoo says 'beautiful'???" i'd been wondering about it for a year ever since the eclipse, so i was just excited to finally know what it says bc i'm a nosy ass bitch lmao

anyway, i love hearing about your experiences. it's so fascinating how varied the ace experience can be and how specific things affect everyone differently. and i think it's also cool to hear what things other ace people pick up/focus on while the allosexuals are busy drooling over whatever is happening on screen dkjkdkjg

the kissing... idk, i can't tell you why it doesn't actually bother me that much or why i might even enjoy it. although i do have to say, the act of kissing does look extremely weird. sometimes (usually during longer kiss/make-out scenes) i'll be sitting there and suddenly it'll hit me that "actually kissing looks SO strange, whose idea was it for kissing to be a thing??"

sometimes in my head the kissing just conjurs up the image of a fish opening and closing it's mouth, like so:

except, you know, kissing involves two people so in reality it's more like:

#i hope you don't mind that i'm publishing this on my blog again! #i'm just thinking it might be interesting for other people as well to read about our varied experiences #do let me know if you want me to go private (or just hop straight into my dms <3) #asks #actually a random memory popped into my head while i was writing this #remember how in my other reply i said kiss scenes sometimes bore me? #actually in the first and only relationship i've been in i actually would sometimes pretend to be asleep #(even though i struggle with sleeping and can fall asleep during the day ONLY when i'm sick or under a serious lack of sleep) #i pretended to be asleep to avoid my then-bf turning the cuddling session into a make-out session #bc making-out just bored me so much as an activity lmao #(it didn't necesserily bother me or gross me out but yeah i just thought it was insanely boring) #(i still went along with it the way you'd sit through your friend's fave movie even tho you personally find it super dull) #(bc i didn't have the heart to tell him i wasn't all that into it dkfjkdg) #(actually he once made a comment how ''the two of us couldn't go a day without kissing each other!!'' and out loud i agreed #but in my head i was like ''oh i EASILY could 🤭🤭🤭'') #(again i didn't say the truth bc he was a really sweet guy and i just didn't want him to feel upset at my lack of enthusiasm about him) #to this day i have no idea if the guy was the problem bc i didn't have strong enough feelings for it or if it was bc of my asexuality #i didn't know about asexuality back then but if i'd known i might have figured it out right then and there that i was ace lmao #(it took another 2 years until i got there)

I think the reason I'm enjoying writing core4 so much is it's just, a bunch of only-child children with non-traditional family dynamics who are so sibling coded/we're roommates and have been for the past 63,136 years. DELIGHTFUL to me. They're all so goddamn stupid. I have decided Kon says traumatic things about Cadmus and Cassie/Tim/Bart turn to each other and play rock-paper-scissors for who gets to be angry about it this time.

#superheroes #bip bop nari drops #core4 #kon: ....what are you doing #tim: well if all of us get mad we're gonna storm the place and burn down a bunch of shit and get in trouble #cassie: SO the deal is only one of us is allowed to be mad. and we bury it deep in our heart to be traumatized about it forever ❤️ #kon: it's not that traumatic!!! i was just talking about watching tv!!! #bart: -pats him on the shoulder- aw bud. let it out #kon: WHAT'S TRAUMATIC ABOUT LEARNING ABOUT FAMILY THROUGH WATCHING TV #tim: oh boy I'm so tapping out of this one we are getting Way too uncomfortably close to my shit #**caveat that i dont think Tim's inherently traumatized by his parents/dont think theyre Terrible they're just #**bad at being parents. well-meaning but Too Many Expectations and also were not really. MEANT to be parents. did it because it was expecte #not because they actually wanted a kid. and so they were like. yeah! we'll be cool parents. give him freedom and stuff. #but then when he's wildly independent and kinda a brat because they're not PARENTS and he barely knows them #they're like how can you treat us like that we're your PARENTS #anyway i think complex relationships are fun!!!!! love a good Sad Tim fic but. oooo the complex dynamics of not hating your parents #because you didn't even have them. my beloved #they're dead and you love them because all you can remember is when they were there - but how often were they there? #mwah it fascinates me. he's a latchkey kid and social dynamics have changed since his first comic!!!! augh!!! #anyway inherent fascinating tim & kon & cassie & bart family relationships #i like thinking all of them have just Little things they can't handle about kon's Pod Facts without being sad
