“That’s a bold choice, Dalek Supreme, coming to a wedding planet dressed in white! Unless you’re here to get hitched… should I be flattered?”
“We are here to exterminate you.”
“Oh, that’s probably for the best. Not sure River would be up for a marriage à trois… not with a Dalek, at any rate.”

kiryu sitting haruka down for a really important talk and looking nervous but deeply serious about it and when he finally speaks he gives an honest and vulnerable admission that upon much self reflection, as unlikely as it may seem, as shocking as it may come, he is, in fact, gay, and he hopes this doesn’t make her feel any distress or discomfort in-part due to the implication that he likely didn’t have romantic feelings for her mom, he did care very very much for her regardless of labels, and so on and so on. and she lets him give this lengthy emotional confession that goes on for like twenty minutes before he finally goes dead silent anxiously anticipating her response. and she’s just like. uncle kaz I really appreciate you opening up to me like this and I’m really proud of you for accepting yourself for who you are. but me and every other kid at morning glory figured this out like 10 years ago
#he’s shaking he’s on the verge of tears and she’s just sitting there like. should I act shocked? this clearly means so much to him but#i feel like saying ‘uncle kaz. its not that subtle. you were a bachelor taking care of a bunch of adoptive kids with no interest#in women whatsoever for years. i already know. most people close to you already suspected.’ is a bit anticlimactic#I think about this a lot#cause realistically she would probably be the first person to open up to about it#unless he miraculously put together through Obvious Context Clues that daigo and mine were a Thing (probably YEARS after the fact though)#and then went and asked daigo about it. which would be hilariously awkward and id pay money to see it#he’s so bad at reading the room and like. getting social cues. I feel like he’d finally get a moment where he’s alone with daigo in his#office and would strike right as daigo’s about to make casual conversation like#‘so how have you b–‘ ‘daigo-san do you like men’#with his typical stoic intense look on his face. poor daigo that’d be mildly terrifying. also the funniest thing he could possibly do#kiryu#haruka#rambling#kazuma kiryu#haruka sawamura#yakuza#amusing follow-up to the initial idea with haruka. he eventually calms down and is relieved and whatnot and says to her kinda casually#‘I’m not sure if I’m ready to tell anyone else. except maybe majima. I’ve been able to trust him for decades with just about anything and I#know he’d never be judgmental–‘ and haruka’s sitting there like. oh god do I have to tell him. someone’s gotta tell him.

After very little research into the other writings of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane, my hypothesis about the Little House authorship question is that the writing is mostly Rose's, but the heart is Laura's.
In Laura's newspaper columns, the parts that sound most like Little House mostly come from the extracts she shares from Rose's letters (incidentally, it's kind of adorable how proud she is of Rose: "My daughter's in France!", "My daughter's in Albania!", etc.) The prose of Old Home Town, Rose's inspired-by-my-childhood-home novel, has some of the same concise descriptive prose that I've come to associate with the Little House style (I could hear passages in the voice of the Little House audiobook narrator).
Yet the Little House soul is all over Laura's columns. She's fascinated by the simple tasks of life, believes in home and family and hard work, believes in holding onto the goodness of childhood and looking forward with hope toward the future. There's an optimism, almost a romanticism, about life. The children's series that bears her name clearly comes from the same woman.
Rose, by contrast, is much more pessimistic. When writing about childhood, she's almost cynical about the life of a small town. She highlights the dark stories underlying the wholesome exterior, is extremely sensitive to the pitfalls of the social scene around her. Part of the difference is that Rose is writing for adults, but there does seem to be an essential difference in the personality behind the pen, despite the stylistic similarities to Little House.
(At the risk of pop psychoanalyzing people long dead, Rose seems much more neurotic and introverted and sensitive than her mother. In her writings and in the books about her childhood in Missouri, she comes across as child of a fairly comfortable modern life, with all the modern anxieties, in contrast to a woman who grew up starving on the prairie and knows that there are much worse things to endure than small-town gossip).
It's not much of a thesis, but I'm just fascinated by the fact that the Little House series can share so many stylistic similarities with Rose's writings, yet feel so much more like Laura.

i don't personally agree with the perspective that "miguel NEEDS to partially correct about canon events, otherwise he's a villain" because like. setting aside the issue of possibly naturalising the irl choices writers made (e.g. fridging gwen) through the concept of 'canon events', to me defining miguel's morality comes down to two questions:
What is Miguel's intent when pursuing his goal? <- it's unambigiously heroic. he desires to save people. and -
Can I plausibly understand how he has come to the belief system (and therefore goal) he has? Yes. I can understand why, when viewing the things he did (universal patterns of suffering between spidermen & the trauma of that dimension collapse), he came to the conclusion he did.
Keep in mind the other bits of information we and the characters are working with are:
Anomalies seem to affect the world they're in (Vulture appears to affect the Guggenheim's structure w glitches)
They're also in danger of dying if they don't have a stabaliser like the watch
But say for the sake of argument Miguel is completely wrong about breaking canon and doing so would not endanger anyone and the alt dimension collapsed for reasons utterly out of Miguel's knowledge or control. That still doesn't negate the heroic intent he operated by nor his desire to save people.
What "How much or little is Miguel correct?" affects is how tragic it makes Miguel's guilt and the moral concessions he feels that guilt about. Whether you would argue for it being needlessly tragic or bleak is another conversation entirely but how correct he is about what damage canon events cause doesn't actually change the fact he operated on sincerely good and heroic intentions.. And I think atsv already sets up that last point in an understandable manner.

choked up in my room rn bc i was sat in the car with my mum completely lost in thought and she out of nowhere went 'are you okay?' and i was like 'yeah? why?' bc i was totally fine i was literally just thinking and she let it go and then five entire minutes later she goes 'are you sure? have i done something?' and she sounded so genuinely anxious and i could tell she'd been thinking about it the entire 5 minutes while id been completely oblivious and i spent so many years as a child letting everything bottle up until it all burst out in a messy and ugly breakdown that took her down with me and despite that she never hated me she only ever blamed herself for not seeing the signs and she's never been able to see my signs because i keep everything to myself and it terrifies her that she might miss something and she handles things poorly when she's scared and she gets too angry but fundamentally she's trying her absolute hardest to be a good mother and it wasn't always enough and i know i have to hold her at least partially accountable but also she's my mum and im her daughter and she always just wants to know if im okay and most of the time im not and somehow that feels like ive betrayed her
#like my mum is such a loud powerful force of a woman that these little moments of vulnerability where she's just HONEST with me#and she shows me that she's worried or scared or unsure instead of just constantly putting up a strong front#always always bowl me over#like ive literally said to her time and time again that i'd find it easier to communicate with her if she wasn't so strong all the time#like of course i hate crying and being emotional in front of you when youve made it v clear my whole life that you hate doing that#when it's you that's the one being emotional like that's not fair#but also being strong all the time is literally a survival thing she had no choice but to implement bc her own life was so hard#so how can i just ask her to lower those walls for me? even if keeping them up is to both our detriment?#and like ive talked on here before how she's openly admitted to me that she finds my temper harder to handle than my sister's#even tho mine is quieter and significantly less messy. but she's also said to me that in general she finds my sister easier to deal with#bc my sister's so open and if she's angry she yells if she's sad she cries if she's happy she talks ur ear off etc etc#i just insist on handling everything myself and the worse i feel the more i deal on my own and it TERRIFIES my mum#BECAUSE it's led to mistakes in the past but also just bc i have never ever doubted that she has so much love for me in her heart#like even when our relationship was at its worst it was never ever a lack of love and she just does genuinely care and worry about me#it's just if she's scared she just gets ANGRY and her angry means her hurting my feelings and my feelings being hurt means i shut down MORE#and it's literally the worst combo but we love each other so much that we're both clawing through it anyway it makes me want to cry#and because she's always so strong i FORGET that there's just a scared vulnerable person behind those walls#that has no idea what she's doing bc her own mum never taught her anything good#and my mum blames herself so completely for every bad thing like she says things like 'i feel like ive failed' and idk how to tell her#that she IS messy and incredibly flawed and she HAS done things that have hurt me beyond comprehension#and there are bad parts of my personality that exist because of her and her alone#but ive also done terrible things to her too like not even considering the fact our responses arent compatible and that hurts her#i also did some DUMB shit when i first started tackling ye olde mental illness that had a HUGELY negative impact on everyone around me#but she is still my favourite person in the world and my best friend and i love her and i know she loves me and i just want to hold her#girls when their mum isnt an all powerful being but instead a flawed human trying their best: SKJDGHKDJSHGJKSDHGJKSH#hella goes home

What the frell. They decided to tell Cagliostro she wasn't trans. The one who made her own body and purposefully chose her own gender. Who respects someone similar to herself decision that she wanted to stay in the body she was born in. That great person. Wonderful person.
What the heck.
YEAH I KNOW RIGHT
tbh it adds to my general frustration that happens every once in a while on how, gbf's lgbt rep is actually pretty good, but every once in a while it will breach containment and every. single. time. i get to end up hearing the most bad faith takes ever from people who don't even bother making a google search.
with Cagliostro it's always downright erasure. Just, people refuse to believe she's trans. I've seen other people say that since her transition was magical (ie: putting her soul in other bodies) it didn't count. As if it mattered when we have Cags for example having a panic attack when she was drowning because it was reminding her of her original, sickish body that she felt dysmorphia about. Like, it's not like they're NOT tackling important themes with that either??? like COME ON.
then we have anytime someone outside of the fandom learns about Ladiva where there's always an uproar about how her design is insulting, and honestly kudos for the fandom to always come in drove about it like "why the fuck are you insulting our mother."
It's like you can't win. You either have a trans character who passes enough that people are constantly denying the validity of the trans narrative of their characters, or they don't pass enough and it's a hundred threads about why this character is the worst possible type of trans rep ever.
and it's double frustrating when you actually have both of those characters discuss about dysmorphia and the idea of passing to start with. That you see the two of them having radically different approach and feelings on the matter and conclude that both of them have a valid approach about it and they love and respect each other regardless because even if the way they live it is different, they're still both living through the same experience.
And as fans of those charas it's always so frustrating!!!
And it adds a layer on frustration of constantly having to defend if they're good trans rep or not while, on top of just that, they're fully fledged characters in general, and yet we're always there having to argue about a basis that is not ignored by canon but not even the major focus of each characters. Like oh my god i'd love to be talking about just how great No Rain No Rainbow's theme was in regard to Ladiva's savior complex at her own detriment or the complexity of Cagliostro's arrogance be confirmed by the narrative as completely earned because literally no one is as smart as her and she's one of the people you can always count on with preventing an apocalypse because she laughs at the face of gods and she earned it. But instead we just constantly have to get back to those people like "no, they're not bad characters because you are drawing conclusions over the validity of their trans narrative by their designs alone", it's so frustrating.
It feels like running in circle and it's so tiring.
On this specific case it was just a poll, so it's not like i expect people to do researches about the characters they don't know about. But it's so frustrating to see this narrative of still erasing the fact Cagliostro is trans from people who've never heard of Granblue and how it happens aaaalll the timmmeeeee and it's so annoying. so damn annoying.
We can never win somehow.
But it's okay, /we/ know what's up. We know Cags is the best. (and Ladiva too). Can't be fooled by people who just don't know what they're talking about.
I'm just going to be constantly frustrated with people drawing conclusions about our girls just because they want to assume the worst out of a niche saga to start with. sighs.

fucking hell
#ooookay tw for suicide in the tags. just putting that out there#ive been desperately trying to fix things and relationships in the chip fandom#especially with the influx of people breaking off contact with gremlin. theres been a lot of people who've cut her off#i even got in contact with one of her victims through the chip discord. i helped him with his ''experiences with gremlin/apology'' tweet#<- which is up btw. i quote retweeted it on priv but i might repost it here#but i just feel like my efforts are just completely useless#this mindset was what pushed me to defend my friends throughout 2022. but at the same time its how i got into the shit with ''yuzu''#(quotes cuz yuzu was a sockpuppet. gremlin really thought she could chase me out of the fandom after that shit)#im just too fucking hopeful and too fucking nice#i held hope that there'd be a day where the fandom would be nice again - despite me wanting to kill myself **partially** thanks to gremlin#and in february i **had** to leave if i didnt wanna be dead. im (kinda. emphasis on kinda) back in the fandom now but still#im terrified of talking to people directly about this shit. its taken me a lot for me to open up about this shit to other people privately#especially to the folks in the chip discord. it felt so relieving when i knew i was safe to rant about her and what she did to everyone#ughhhh im yapping about nothing. sorry i sound really annoying about this shit LOL#but i just wanted to chuck my feelings out into the void. its what i do#val being a pissbaby

7. Do they (or would they) pursue the other character’s affection, and if so, how? Do they tell the other character how they feel? Try to earn their admiration? Woo them with romantic gestures? Flirt with them, skillfully or otherwise?
Nailah pursues G'raha's affection in the most oblique ways possible, all for the sake of plausible deniability should he not return her affections. She'll try to spend time around him ("I have nowhere better to be" or "I think you'll like this place") or she'll get food for him ("I was hungry and bought more than I could eat") or she'll bring a neat trinket for him (she doesn't even try to justify it, she just leaves it with a little note on his desk saying its for him).
Words don't come easily to her, and even less so when she's trying to communicate her feelings. Whenever she's tried to tell him how much he means to her, even as a friend, the words get caught in her throat and refuse to come out. She's somewhat better at writing her thoughts into poetry, but her poor handwriting and habit of switching between hroth and common makes them difficult to read. She has recently discovered an interest in scoring music, though, and is trying to compose a song to give to him in the form of a small music box. She hopes it will, at the very least, show him how she sees him as a good friend and admires his character.
On G'raha's side, he tries to be as verbally open as possible with her without outright saying he loves her. He'll tell her about places he's recently read about to try and make conversation with her, which she usually obliges in her normal terse way. He'll shower her in compliments at the slightest provocation, nearly waxing poetic at her accomplishments, which she bashfully brushes off. His most successful attempts have been letters detailing what he's been up to since they last met, which he leaves in her room at the annex for her to find later. She cherishes each one she finds.

some more rambles, but its just generally how i characterize everyone in the fgod au.
I wanted to keep everyone closer to canon, but not too close so that they can still get along.
Error - Doesn’t actually mind destroying that much, just hates getting told what to do.
He is more mature than canon, but has anger issues and no way of working on them. Social recluse and a hermit, only really goes out to do his job or sulk in outer-tale.
Seen as a cryptid and boogeyman of the multiverse.
Ink - He isn’t a creator, and they are different entities. Although, whenever he sees an unfinished AU he makes sure to complete it. Causing it to take up more space than intended. Those are also the AU’s that are meant to be destroyed.
The reason why he does it is because he projects himself onto them, he was abandoned too and never wants to go through it again. Fate cannot tell him to stop because of his lack of Soul, which is where the Red Strings mainly latch onto. The AU’s that get finished by him turn into their fanon versions.
Example: Swap turns into Blueberry.
Takes the destruction very personal bc of his attachment. He sees failing to protect them as abandonment. He is very protective of them, and acts a lot like a dragon, with the AU’s as his hoard. Whenever he is confronted about it, he refuses to open up about it. Ends up pushing people away bc he is scared of them leaving.
Swap - Acts like canon Swap. His AU got abandoned, but not destroyed.
The only reason why it was still around is because it was completed, although the AU became very stagnant. Nothing was really happening there. It is a bit uncanny, and once you noticed you cannot unnotice it.
Feels bitter when seeing any swap variants. Especially the Blueberries.
Ink has a soft spot and let him join the Star Sanses. Swap still lives in his own AU, although the stillness gets to him sometimes. Often visits Dream in the Omega timeline and gets invited to the Doodle sphere.
Dream - Got manipulated by the villagers into believing that everyone's well-being and happiness is his responsibility. He does not believe that negativity is bad, that’s the only thing the villagers could not change. There was a lot of guilt tripping and gaslighting.
Was abused but will never acknowledge it, because he never got hit.
Fights against Nightmare bc he thinks he is a falliure of a guardian if he does not protect their happiness.
Loves his brother, but is convinced that Nightmare hates him.
Nightmare - Got bullied by the villagers. Hid his injuries from Dream and never knew what was going in the village, making him feel even more isolated.
Ate the apples as a last resort, turned Dream to stone by accident. Doesn’t fully remember the incident, trying to recall it is like recalling a fading dream.
Loves his brother, but is convinced that Dream hates him.
Killer - First of Nightmare’s recruits. He’s mostly either stage 1 or 2 bc Nightmare is nice in this one. Has his bad days.
Idk much about Killer, but I think he locked his emotions away by himself? Correct me if I’m wrong.
Nightmare and the gang did help him process said emotions.
Sympathizes with Error, both have been forced to kill/destroy.
Dust - Second recruit. Hates killing monsters, but gets a huge amount of intrusive thoughts about it. Sometimes feels an urge because of the LV, it makes him freak out.
Idk a lot about Dust either.
Horror - Third recruit. Only one who spend a lot of time in his own AU. Has no problem talking, but often keeps quiet anyways. More irritable than the others.
Always rations his food when eating, and hides a chunk of it around the castle. Makes sure to bring back enough for Snowdin. Vegiterian and hates the smell of blood and raw meat.
Constantly acts like a squirrel preparing for winter.
Blue - Originates from a genocide timeline. Got kidnapped by Error in a panic, but somehow befriended him. Lives in the Omega timeline but gets visits from Error. Often joins him in the Anti-Void.
Got turned into Blueberror (i prefer the name Blooper alot more, dunno who its from tho) by Fate later on.
Had his destroyer arc, saved by Error and Reaper. Unlike Error, Blue hates destroying.
Luck has taking a liking to him, cats follow him and he finds a lot of pennies. Has a collection of jars with pennies in them.
Any lethal attack will almost always miss him. Shoot a gun at him and it would probably jam.
Fresh - Enjoying himself. Really likes watching all of the chaos unfold, treats it like a drama show. Which it basically is. Everyone has major issues, and he knows almost all of it. Which is more than everyone else.
Befriended Blue after he got turned into an Error, started out as rivalry, turned frenemies, turned friends.
Fresh mostly hangs around Ink or Core otherwise, who are the only ones not fully disturbed by him.
Unlike Error, who is terrified of him.
Even though Fresh will never use him as a host. His little shard of a Soul would not even last a day.
Reaper - Depressed after the loss of Geno. Caused him to isolate himself, but the fact that Error could see the Red Strings intrigued him.
Ended up talking to and befriending Error. Found out he is Geno (sans memories) when Reaper was about to sever the Red Strings.
Doesn’t tell Error, and does not know how to feel about it. Dislikes Fate even more after that. Is at least glad that he got some closure.
