#surmounting

Why are my favorite ships always:

Different but in the way that they make perfect partners and achieve so much together. Believing in each other when it seems like no one else does. Different and despite that, they understand each other until they completely don't. Some kind of betrayal and at least one of them has abandonment issues. So much emotional constipation and painful pining. Childhood friends to [insert decades long mess here] to finally, finally lovers. "My heart has always been yours. Even when I hated you. Even when there was so much distance between us I thought we'd never pull through. There's no one else in this world for me. So, yes it's you, it's always been you".

And the only two that have qualified so far are Wrightworth (Phoenix + Miles from Ace Attorney) and Baavira (Baatar Jr + Kuvira from Legend of Korra). I love how Wrightworth's partnership led them to find the truth and redeem each other, while Baavira's led them to create a dictatorship and commit war crimes.

If you have any more examples of ships that fit, please let me know.

#my two favorite ships seem so different #but really they're not #wrightworth balance each other out #while baavira just amplify each other #phoenix: you didn't kill your dad I believe in you! #kuvira: you can make nukes I believe in you! #the unconditional support #the understanding #turned “did I ever know you at all” #the catharsis of finally getting together #insurmountable differences and circumstances #but then they surmount it anyway #ace attorney #phoenix wright #miles edgeworth #wrightworth #narumitsu #the legend of korra #legend of korra #tlok #kuvira #baatar jr #baavira #jen's rambles

something that I think is difficult to learn, but defined my young adulthood so far, is you have to learn to be okay with being deeply uncomfortable sometimes. Sometimes, there's something you have to do, and it will suck the whole time. But you need to do it, and your life will be way better afterward. Sometimes, you have to look at and really introspect on something that makes you deeply uncomfortable. But if you don't you'll never grow. Sometimes, it will be deeply uncomfortable to develop your own opinions and think critically about the world around you. But you need to. Sometimes, it will be deeply uncomfortable to have done that, because you won't be able to unlearn what you know, and many people may disagree with or even hate you over it. Sometimes, it will be deeply uncomfortable to be who you are, know what you know, and stand firm on believing what you believe, because it's deeply uncomfortable for people to dislike you. Sometimes, it's deeply uncomfortable to admit you were wrong. Really wrong. So wrong, you fucked up your life just a bit permanently. But god, all of it— if you push through, it will get better. You'll be stronger. You'll know why you believe what you believe. You'll know what you stand for. Why you stand for it. You'll be less attached to the false comfort of cognitive dissonance. You'll be more willing to face new situations, new changes. Talk to new people. Work with new ideas. The world opens up to you. When you get comfortable with being deeply comfortable sometimes, it's not so scary. You're not terrified all the time. And, I mean, it's not that it doesn't still suck. There's so much that pains me to think about. Deep, soulcrushing realizations. But. It becomes: this is bad. This is very very uncomfortable. But I can get through it. I can stick to what matters to me. You become able to hold true to yourself. You become able to know who you actually are.

And I think that's important. So I wish for everyone, a little more ability to be uncomfortable. We can't rid life of disagreement and upset and discomfort. But we can grow beyond it anyway.

#in another reflective mood... #idk. this was something that took many times to really stick and i think its not really something you ever stop learning #i think it makes you more capable of being. though. just. being #I have far more to grow #but i feel more capable. it feels more possible. i have made it through before #i can do so again #even life's biggest hurdles can be surmounted #wishing all yall the best....

what kind of emotion(s) do u guys write from

#*･ﾟ⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT. #i think abt tht post tht says siken writes w panic and mary oliver writes w hope n i was thinking abt #hiwatari's 'if a shadow is behind a circle then it's a sphere and if a shadow is in front of a circle then it becomes a hole' #obviously that can apply to dark + dai vs krad + sato as part of their dichotomy but its also applicable to both of them as individuals #if u include the manga bc of the way daisuke/dark's heart is. solemn and grandiose but vacant with nothing to satisfy anyone in it #everything they do or say comes from tht empty cathedral. a graveyard. the noble but desolate dust-filled underground of an opera house #i'm writing abt summer and winter but most importantly im writing abt love and light's echoes in a jet black space #i'm saying the reason dark and daisuke are always so grateful for others is because they're always so lonely #and emotionally if not socially malformed and outcast in their own ways #writing daisuke is anxiety and deep guilt on the surface with an undercurrent of pride and arrogance #writing dark is pride and arrogance on the surface with an undercurrent of anxiety and deep guilt #but anything and everything is sourced from that hollow and empty well. that 'nothing' that is a phantom thief's #restless and covetous heart #even within canon the things dark and daisuke both REALLY want- they lie to themselves lie to the audience about until they finally #either obtain or surmount it #well. anyways. sorry for tag essay #i had a lot of feelings and no place to put them 💀

i've been playing the stick of truth bc whenever i'm done working i'm too tired to write &. yesterday i had only one monster so i had 0 energy... but like, kenny's little Peruvian flute band dance he does when you win fights is so fucking everything to me.

#also the 'charm' move - i cherish him #kyle was always my favorite of the boys so idk where this surmounting kenny love is coming from. #anyway #i wanna try to write more on my other blogs but at the same time i have so much stuff i wanna get to here #i've just been so busy i've been so frustrated i've had no real energy to do much more than throw #short stuff in the queue here. #𝐢. . . . ⇢ ˗ˏˋ [ 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 › out of character ]

A short while back, I received a beloved comment on a very old re-uploaded fic which offered a "between 'XXXX' and 'YYY' is [superlative] piece of writing, haunting me for years" so i go Hmm! I have no memory of this specific section! and look it up and

it's a description of a median strip

i mean, it's a good description of a median strip, and once i re-read it i certainly remember contemplating carefully and exactly what i was trying to convey, but it is, in actual fact, a description of a median strip

#this doubt forever strikes because man that was actually a good piece of writing what was i on? who was i? who was this person writing good? #but was that the peak of my existence!!!??!???!?!?? i shall never surmount this description!! *sobs* #the door doored doorily in the wall which was a wall which was a thing other than a wall but clearly not a door #the door in the other wall was open but no one noticed #so busy they were.staring at the doorily door which being closed was the only door that embodied the doorness of being a door #in a wall #don't forget the wall #did i mention the wall because there's also walls #everywhere.and don't forget the eyes are doors too.opening and closing like doors.interiors and exteriors.right? #no roof tho #this being an architectural metaphor for how domestic ruins entrap and stagnate! residential architectural forms are rooms of doom! dooooom #there is a floor though because floors are where people have to kneel grovel puke fall and draw outlines of the bodies that were never ther #sigh sigh sigh self deprecation this deadly deadly sin #whilst i battle with editing and cutting giant chunks of similar type descriptions which seem less than relevant; and wondering 'but would- #--that rando piece of distorted-elevator-reflection-description have become someone else's powerful haunting piece?' who knows... #my writing #editing man. 20000x harder than writing

hava's memories of bellamew will haunt me all my days.

#seasparrow #graceling realm #kristin cashore #hava #graceling #bellamew #this book has one of my favorite depictions of trauma #it understands people can't go through horrenedous shit without carrying it with you into every part of your life #it allows hope for growth and healing without the expectation that people just surmount their trauma #this book carried the weight of a messed up character rather than just pushing forward through a narrative #it was definitely a character study and i'm so glad

i love that we get this moment of feng xin getting to know hua cheng, and to see that his devotion isn't creepy or controlling but endlessly supportive.

it reminds me of the bit in book 3 (i think?) where feng xin likes hong-er because he comes to xie lian's defense; i think feng xin could come to support their relationship purely because it makes xie lian happy and is good for him, and it even makes me wonder if he and hua cheng could be something like friends, someday.

#though obviously the bigger obstacle is that hua cheng doesn't like feng xin #and im not sure thats surmountable because hua cheng's beef is kinda fundamentally unreasonable but he'ss not the forgiving type #sure feng xin left when xie lian needed him but it was kinda understandable? and he didn't have all the context of how bad a moment it was #but i don't think hua cheng would let it go... #maybe in another 800 years #tgcf #tgcf liveblog

Nobody's actually allowed to hate Cherry ever. Like hating on any other character can be excused but if you hate Cherry, then I'll just assume you're misogynistic.

#all cherry hate can be surmounted to: 'boohoo she was kind of mean to my male fave once' #first of all: no she fucking wasn't #second of all: even if she was SO WHAT SHE ALSO LOOKED GORGEOUS DOING IT #she could been meaner #the outsiders #cherry valance #se hinton

Tell me that this horrible dread of agony which possesses me is my own wicked fault.

Just used the squirt bottle on my kittens for the first time to stop them trying to steal the pastry I was eating. It's just a gentle spray bottle, but Moo had a whole sneezing fit and scrubbed vigorously at his scrunched up little face, Méka leaped off the bed like she'd been electrocuted, and Mau rocketed all the way across the room into the balcony and over it onto the roof with his fur standing on end like I'd sprayed him with battery acid. It's all just shock, bewilderment and betrayal in Chez Terror Trio rn. Lmao.

I feel bad, but also enjoying the novel sensation of eating a snack without the nuisances trying to steal it out of my hand.

okay so like. kris 100% said “do it”. right? or something to that effect

#deltarune #spamton sweepstakes #this is about the 'new girl' webpage #which is just susie bullying kris #like. thats probably what made her stop. someone who was so willing to be picked on they were treating it like a joke #the picture being painted of kris rn from these webpages is one of quiet desperation. someone who is burdened with an impossible weight #also susie is still known as the 'new girl' which confirms her recency to hometown #im saying she either got there the year prior or just at the start of school that year #once again its not rlly specified but. judging by how noelle writes she is definitely older. probably present day age #meaning susie being new is not. old. hgrbjgbrghj #anyways! it wouldnt be surprising to me if kris said something like that #something to provoke her. bc they want to disappear #im sure they feel a lot of guilt and sadness surmounting #(plus theyre being controlled by a strange force. if my theory is correct) #so theyd like for someone like susie to just. end it for them #and Thats what makes her stop. bc she recognizes that. she recognizes the taunt #and she wont stoop to that level. hence why she almost never gives kris room to talk ever again #but continues to bully them #it almsot makes u wonder....why she hated them so much? and why she was so ready to be friends w them after everything? #did she recognize something in them that made her act that way? maybe a falsely-assued naivety that susie wanted to stomp out #similarly to how she lashes out at lancer in chapter 1 #bc to her (at that point) the world is cruel and dark and the only way u get out of it is through violence #or maybe she was intrigued by them? why they never said anything but everyone knew their name #and shes just so socially awkward that the only way she could think of getting their attention is by bullying them? #or. is she jealous of them #jealous that they can slide through life without resistance. that they can sleep through class without getting thrown out #and can pass w decent grades despite never lifting a pencil in class #and how they have a mother who hugs them every day and leads them in and out of school like a mother duck herds her ducklings #and how all the kids in class know their name and say hi despite them never answering #maybe shes jealous bc all shes ever gotten are frightened stares and discipline and neglect. and so it makes her kind of hate them
