#sHE SOUNDED OFFENDED

[the-eclectic-wonderer]

I've been made aware of the fact that Rolling Stone has compared TS to *Adele* of all people in the wake of TS's new album and I just have to say. this is a real coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb situation and boy is Adele splitting that atom

#if any of my most recent mutuals love TS i am genuinely sorry about this post. i hope you keep loving her and you love her new album #i just personally can't get behind her at all. she sounds so bland to me #especially compared to ADELE #and im simply too flabbergasted by the news. i couldnt stay silent #oh i rly hope i don't offend any of you with this #personal #anti taylor swift

Have you guys ever been so disgusted by family snz that you actually start crying

#i don't think my sister thought i was in my room with my headphones off so she didn’t bother being quiet and it made me feel sick #headphones on straight away immediately burst into tears #obviously being autistic and extremely sensitive to sound doesn't help but :/// #only con to living with her #i get so pissed off because she doesn't drink enough water all day and then has gross reactions by the evening at which point she's home #it's actually vile #and the worst part is she gets actively offended if i look even a little disgusted which i cannot help #we're about to share a hotel room for 4 nights so i am going to beg her to drink water and take antihistamines #anyway. i'm sure it'll be fine but had to type this out because i'm still actively in a state of physical repulsion #i've blocked someone on here before over telling me to not be mean about my sister but honestly fuck you let me vent #nttalks

I have many thoughts and ideas about Zarc/Ray Swap AU but I think the one that sticks out the most for me is the funny idea Zarc still has to summons his Supreme King Form to battle Ray, but because she likely wouldn't or ever get the EN cards she is stuck going against his ridiculously overpowered Ace that doesn't let you do practically anything except this time Zarc is in the right for pulling this shit and Ray deserves to go through it.

Zarc:thanks to my effect, my other monsters are unaffected by the effects of your Fusion or Synchro or XYZ monsters

Ray:Wow Zarc, you're such a good entertainer, this duel has been so riveting since that thing was summoned and doesn't let me do shit...no wonder you failed as a dueltainer you fucking asshole

Zarc:Well, normally my entertainment is reserved for people not trying to destroy the world and making life hell for everyone else, so though shit babydoll, should have thought that before starting to murder everyone

Ray:I activate my card effect to destroy your monster once and for all

Zarc:As long as I have Monsters banished or in the graveyard I will never be destroyed

Ray:FUCK! YOU!

Maybe Ray creates Pendulum or En Cards or something after this from the PTSD from their fight.

#Yugioh Arc V #YGO Arc V #Zarc #Ray Akaba #Swap AU #Yu-Gi-Oh #TBH I don't see how Evil Ray would work in a swap AU unless she's really that good and Zarc is apathetic to the state of the world #She only beat him through the EN Cards (which was designed to counter him) and don't have much use outside of beating Zarc #And we don't even know what her Deck even is #And unless it's really that good alongside her skills that she reaches end of the world material I don't see why Zarc would even br needed #Sorry if this sounds mean as fuck towards Ray #I didn't meant to offend anyone with it

Tired and on a train right now but im thinking about raiden sooo much. I love mgs2 its a horror trans allegory to me

Raiden is so transfem imo. Shes been forced into this masculine roll her whole life and it comes to a head in mgs2 when shes placed in the huge role of solid snake. Now snake himself doesn’t even embody this huge macho persona hes made out to be. “The perfect soldier” solidified by shadow moses and only “corrupted afterwards. Raiden is forced to take on this overwhelming masculine role, a test subject meant to be the next generation of unstoppable strong men.

Raiden’s story is one of a struggle with self identity and being able to live a life for himself, and this can be read trans or cis, but its so so interesting for me to read it as trans. Going along with the headcanon that solid snake is transmasc, taking control of his genes as “the failed twin” and forging his own life; his speech to raiden at the end of mgs2 feels like an older trans person giving advice to someone who hasn’t realized themself yet. Live your own life, find out who you are, we dont determine what the next generation is all we can do is bring them into a better more understanding world. Dont try to be me and dont let them force you to be me. Its ok to not be masculine. (Sidenote this speech and the one at the end of mgs1 is what makes mgs4 so out of place and terrible but thats another conversation)

Anyway long story short i really love raiden as transfem. I think it fits well with her storyline, making her own identity, and breaking away from this deadly masculine roll shes been forced into her whole life.

Wrapping back around to mgs2 being a horror game to me, it feels like the culmination of a psychological horror story. Cant site specifics rn cause i havent been through the whole game in a while, but raidens story feels like a constant disconnect of identity (for trans and trauma reasons). Mgs2 is a scheme created specifically to shatter Raiden into the mold they want for her. Psychological horror meant to make her question her personality, her reality, and her choices. That can be used as a very good allegory to going through the most internally violent depressive depersonalization period before coming to terms with your identity.

Setting aside the rest of her story for a minute, i think after mgs2 she takes a little while to figure herself out. She was already a little femmy before and doesnt change much. Imo shes transfem nonbinary specifically. I think she prefers to be a bit androgynous it makes her feel good. But she gets more comfortable with openly wearing more fem stuff, and allowing herself to be more vunerable with herself and others. She gets happier :) she figures it out

#sorry just spitting out words rn #train thoughts yknow #my post #i just. augh. grips the hell out of her #mgs2 #raiden mgs #love to put main tags on stuff like this everybody look at my posts now #and to that anon that asked why i think raiden is transfem #you couldve been genuine but you also sounded offended by that #well heres your explanation of my thoughts but fuck you she can be #slaps metal gear this puppy is so full of trans people #dont get me started on transfem kaz as well #and as mentioned in this solid snake is so fucking trans bro #diary

those posts about Azula and Zuko’s relationship by @zuko-always-lies and @wingsfreedom respectively got me thinking about the fire hazards. one pointed out what makes Zuko seem like he doesn’t care about Azula, and one pointed out what does. And it brought me to a conclusion.

Zuko parrots what other people’s opinions on Azula are. (Almost all of the time)

When we see Zuko’s first flashback in Zuko Alone, he’s hanging out with his mom by the pond. He says “Hey, mom, wanna see how Azula feeds Turtleducks?”

Zuko says this like he finds it genuinely funny and interesting. He views it positively. Now, Zuko immediately fails at mimicking her— as soon as the bread hits the Turtleduck, Zuko’s expression is shocked and horrified. That wasn’t supposed to happen, and he’s scolded by Ursa for it.

“Zuko, why would you do that?”

Ursa doesn’t assume it’s an accident. Ursa— and I’m trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, really— has a low opinion of Azula. She isn’t able to separate her trauma regarding Ozai (even if we ignore the comics, absolutely nothing isn’t traumatic about being married to a man willing to kill your children) from Azula very effectively.

Ursa has outright questioned “what is wrong with that child” in earshot of Zuko and Azula, to the point that the former actually remembers her saying it, and her Nickelodeon bio confirmed Zuko as her favourite.

While Zuko is processing, Turtleduck resurfaces and it’s mother attacks him. The rest of that part isn’t particularly relevant, what’s relevant is what comes after. It transitions to Azula “playing” with her friends.

“Mom, can you make Zuko play with us? We need equal teams to play a game.”

Zuko, who previously seemed to have a more positive opinion on Azula earlier that day, responds kind of aggressively with “I am not cartwheeling.

Azula points out cartwheeling isn’t a game, especially one that wouldn’t need teams.

“I don’t care. I don’t want to play with you.”

Zuko, just that morning, had no problem with Azula and no reason to, and is now acting needlessly aggressive toward her. Zuko internalized Ursa’s opinion of Azula even without Ursa outwardly expressing her negative feelings, and it further paints what we see of those flashbacks. He even joins Ursa in scolding Azula for her comment about if Iroh died.

The next flashback is awhile after, and Zuko’s personal opinion doesn’t seem to be altered to fit the bias of anyone else around him: Zuko is playing a tag-like game with Azula, and the two are laughing and smiling.

The scene after that, it’s unclear when it takes place. How much longer after. It appears to be late in the day, like sunset-ish. Zuko is fine hanging out with Azula until she insults him, and then he gets defensive. (Also note: when the two of them are spying on the meeting, as Zuko runs away, Azula actually turns to check on him as he runs away.)

Next scene when Zuko is lying in bed. Azula is sing-songy and mocks him about what she heard. Now, despite this— and I note— Azula suggests Zuko to flee the country.

“I’m only telling you for your own good. I know! Maybe you can find a good Earth Kingdom family to adopt you.”

In all technicality, what Azula is suggesting is treason and I think that might make her treasonous by suggesting it. She’s telling him to go against the Fire Lord’s orders— that would potentially further Ozai in gaining the crown, which is what really matters here— and telling him to live. All she’d have to do is say nothing and Zuko would be gone and she’d be heir.

(Not only that, but when Ursa asks Azula what was going on, Azula tells her everything.)

The next notable scene: when Azula tells Zuko no one knows where [Ursa] is and that Azulon is dead, Zuko says it’s not funny and she’s sick, which is probably the best instance of him parroting Ursa’s opinions.

Zuko also later ends up parroting Iroh’s opinion of Azula. We know Iroh doesn’t have a very high opinion of Azula— despite the fact Iroh isn’t looking at her during the Agni Kai, he remembers her as smiling. She also looks no different than her current appearance, which suggests Iroh doesn’t really see her as a child.

Iroh is immediately hostile towards Azula when all she’s said is hello, screwing up his expression. (Zuko’s screws up his expression too, but he’s made angrier expressions at Iroh.)

After the guard slips that it was a lie, then Zuko gets angry at Azula for an actual reason— and during the Chase, he wants to fight her. But when he’s talking to Iroh, he seems genuinely unsure on how to feel about Azula. “I know, she’s my sister and I should try to get along with her.”

Now, one thing to note— Ursa doesn’t directly say this from what we see. The closet she does is agree with Azula that it’s important for brothers and sisters to spend time together. Which means that he’s likely either parroting that sentiment from Azula, or that’s an original thought.

Iroh reinforces that Zuko should feel negatively towards Azula. “She’s crazy and she needs to go down.”

(Iroh should be in the right by saying that, should being the key word. She shot fire at him. But she only had to do that because he prevented her from fleeing the scene in the first place, meaning she had to come up with an alternate escape plan. She had already attempted to flee from battle semi-peacefully because she was outnumbered, meaning he outright risked his niece’s safety for no reason.)

When Zuko’s in the Fire Nation, he’s mostly neutral-positive on Azula. There’s no negative outside opinions altering his view on Azula, and that’s when they get along the most. Despite the fact Zuko is incredibly grumpy throughout all of S3. He’s still very Zuko about it, but he doesn’t hate her.

When he joins the Gaang, his opinion on Azula gets negative again. He seems neutral-sad when she nearly falls to her death and resigned when she survives, and says to Katara in Sozin’s Comet: “How would you like to help me put Azula in her place?”

When Sokka asks if he left behind anyone he cares about, he doesn’t say Azula: because Zuko can’t tell if he cares about Azula.

When Suki says “This is a rematch I’ve been waiting for”, Zuko literally parrots her. Suki has a reason to want a rematch— Zuko doesn’t. He hasn’t lost a battle to Azula, because he hasn’t been in a battle with Azula that actually resulted with either of them winning.

To summarize: Azula knows her and Zuko’s sibling relationship is wrong and wants to repair it. Zuko knows his and Azula’s sibling relationship is wrong and doesn’t know what the right is, so he mimics what everyone else thinks [about Azula].

And everyone is getting in-between them reconciling and building a health relationship. Ozai intentionally, Ursa unintentionally and Iroh somehow both intentional and unintentionally.

I headcannon that Marley speaks to his dogs like they're human people. Meanwhile, (especially old man) Scrooge ruthlessly roasts them by exclusively referring to them as stuff like "stink" "gutter breath" and "wrinkly mongrel" in an attempt to annoy Marley. Isabel talks to them in a baby talk voice, which manages to piss off Marley even more bc "she's patronizing them!"

How is this all so perfect for them oh my god. 😂 Thank you for this mental image!

#'she's patronizing them' hsdfdshsd #I can just IMAGINE how offended he would sound saying it too #scrooge a christmas carol #jacob marley #ebenezer scrooge #isabel fezziwig #the disaster throuple #how can shipping them be wrong when they are so funny #ask #anonymous
