Ur last reply was a canon sneak peek into Ulfric’s brain. Devs decided his true form (vile and unapproachable) would be too much for the fandom. They can barely handle him as he is. But if he had a journal, going through one of the black books would be easier than having to read through all of it, with his “backup plans” in case any of his paranoid delusions came true irl, and they’re never ending and nonsensical and he often goes on a loop when he’s in the process of coming up with them. Everything is full of scribbles and letters that look like they have been written on top of over and over. Clear signs of missing pages. He truly believes that’s his strategy journal. And if he’s not “strategizing” he’s dumping all of his frustrations about all of those people, Elisif being a recent star of his entrie. While Elenwen is probably a main character. I haven’t decided yet for Tulius. And I also have a slight feeling that he idolizes Talos to an unhealthy level and speaks of him as if he meets him every day. Like a sad sad case of parasocial relationships but with a dude who’s 33,333% real and from another era. He probably tears off the entries about himself, they make him physically cringe.

THIS MADE ME LOL SO HARD FDIKVIER4489OT5479T5OU Yeah.....YEAH....... his very personal praying to talos pattern for day number 4873, if he doesn't do it a specific way th*lmor will come to kill him and everyone he knows, there's 7 pages straight of him calling elisif names and belittling her for crying and being traumatized, while he himself is crying as he's writing it and is traumatized, tullius is comes into play later as someone he views to be hollow and as th*lmor-tainted as elisif is. somone once told him to actually write things about himself to get all the feelings out but whenever he starts doing that he gets scared cause it feels like he's documenting torture as a perpetrator of it and just starts writing about people he wishes death upon

#ask #the way tullius would absolutely not be able to stand being around visibly mentally unstable people like being in the same room as ulfr*c - #- would make him itch cause he doesn't know how a person can just sit motionless for 10 minutes not blinking but shaking all at once #and being around elisif would give him chronic migraines #it's different with elenwen because it barely shows on her. he will have to learn some hard life lessons when he gets closer to her and - #- it's way too late to turn back. WATCH OUT

I've seen some trans people who are almost in this doomerist mindset about cis people ever respecting or loving them, and I understand what that feels like and I understand where they're coming from. I remember, though, just how many cis people I know who are not only capable of respecting and loving trans people, but do so enthusiastically, and it really just makes me remember that transphobia isn't inherent to being cis. Cis people are entirely capable of learning and growing and allowing trans people into their worlds. There are always going to be those cis people who aren't at that point and might never be, but that is on them, not their cisness.

I think this small shift in viewpoint has helped me reframe my emotions about this topic. It's helpful for me to be able to take a step back and remember that being cis isn't a reason for people to not accept trans people, you know?

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #i was really upset about some transphobia i've seen from cis people and sometimes it makes me want to retreat inwards and never trust... #...a cis person again. and then i remember some of the people i know... #...like a cis friend of mine who is dating a mutual friend and he loves her so much in such a pure way... #...or another friend of mine who picked up on little hints of my transness and never once blinked an eye... #...or how about the growth my dad was capable of undergoing? #just today i was talking to him about biology and just how cool it is that the human body can adapt! #i talked to him about testosterone and educated him about estrogen! and he was completely receptive... #...like sure. there are some scary cis people out there and i will never doubt that... #...i have had my fair share of fear. but i think always being on-edge also doesn't serve us... #...because learning to fear every little thing ends up eating away at you and the person you are. it's consuming... #...and stressful. and traumatizing. and i know how that feels like. nobody deserves to live that way

"i mess up things and then i don't have the energy to fix them up" yes brain true sentence but no brain the appropriate response is NOT "therefore i should kill myself (and here's how)"

#tw suicide #i wish i was joking #i am just so so tired of keeping myself alive! can't someone else do it for a change? or better yet kill me?? #said something to the emergency room psych #she queried it and i confirmed i had said precisely what i intended #she blinked and said 'i usually hear that from jaded forty year olds not twenty year olds' #i won't share what because it was a highly specific explanation of precisely how i might see myself suiciding or how/whether i thought i #could. she asked me and i answered. apparently she wasn't expecting that level of detail and confidence #is it funny to anyone else that i always struggle with confidence but i can confidently tell her specifics about suicide thoughts? #this is reminding me of the fifteen year old yesterday i was conversing with and he randomly started listing all the suicide methods he #could think of and i was internally like you missed a dozen i can think of. didn't say that obvs #i don't know i am. tired. of everything. and i had a long and good conversation with an older woman from church last night (mother of the #boy. i have confided in her before she's great) #she's hte only person irl who now knows about the second suicide attempt (tho she doesn't know it was the second) and she was encouraging m #to see the psych and escalate care #but all day ive been regretting telling the psych or bro or anyone honestly #it would be so much EASIER to have said nothing and gone through with my plan #i wouldn't trust myself not to rn if i had access #i mean. i know multiple ways in this room i could kill myself. but i won't #there's a couple of specific methods that are most of the thoughts usually so they're the specific ones i gotta watch out for more if that #makes sense #ooh gosh im rambling i should shut up xD #personal #puddleglum hours

still thinking about aventurine with a former casino dealer reader...

#bee chats #bonus points if you met at your table and he picked up how good you are immediately and kinda...bookmarked you as a potential #checks in on you from time to time to see if you've grown into something worth harvesting #until one day you pierce through his armor with a quick throwaway comment that clearly shows you've seen more of him than he'd like #that you're almost too perceptive #that you've more than outgrown this struggling casino #the ipc picks it up within the week—what's one more business to them—and you're so unamused #he tells you that you're lucky #and you say 'no more than you are' #and he laughs because his luck is extraordinary don't you know? #you stare at him for a breath—his smile stays firm but there's gooseflesh rising on his skin pricking against him like an untrimmed rose #because for a moment he thinks you see him in a way that he doesn't quite understand #but you blink and the sensation fades away #and if he avoids you for a little bit #well—no one but him is ever going to know

Mr. Not Family asks to speak to Corporal Thursday alone for 2 minutes; 30 seconds later:

#morse interacting with sam is surprisingly affecting #also the way sam says this line? golden #he doesn't even blink; just pure deadpan

Copperhead takes time to warm up to people. In his experience, most people cannot see past his appearance and treat him differently, be it with thinking he's creepy or worse, thinking him an animal due to his serpentine looks. Copperhead is okay with the latter; people who assume his intelligence is low or that he doesn't 'experience feelings' like a human only makes it all the easier to take them by surprise when they underestimate him so badly.

#🐍 || musings #🐍 || headcanons #He experiences this a lot #Moreso people finding him 'creepy' which is fine by him #He doesn't trust people easily and is fine with whatever they think so long as they pay him for his services #Those who try to play him or give them less than what he agreed to will pay for it another way #It's funny because he will be so quiet and let them assume he's not as intelligent as he actually is #When really he's taking everything in and judging the fuck out of them #One of the few things he's thankful for in having a hard time expressing himself facially is that he can feel rage but look calm af #Which is another thing that's creepy about him because he just can't make the same facial expressions ordinary humans do #And a lot of people naturally assume that because he can't show it then he can't feel it #No eyebrows to indicate surprise or incredulousness #No ability to blink so can avoid any tells that excessive blinking would indicate #No blushing because scales #Can't really blame people for finding him uncanny but it is what it is #I'm feeling a bit better again but I have the hospital in a few hours so gonna catch a quick nap #I have two days off but otherwise I'm working damn near every day until New Year so maybe I can eke out something #Thank you all for being so wonderfully patient with my stupid ass #And thank you to new followers also I promise I am not ignoring you I'm just having a tough time lately #Bless you Chrome for inspiring this thought #I needed distractions tonight x

one reason why spy x family is gold is because loid literally never questions why yor is able to fight the way she does. she could kick a person’s head clean off their neck and make some flimsy excuse about how she learned the move from martial arts classes and loid will just casually be like, “no yeah that makes perfect sense.” and then the fam goes out for ice cream.

#spy x family #yor forger #loid forger #like obviously he has to know she's not an ordinary person because there's no way he doesn't #i just think it's a funny running gag that yor can pretty much destroy anyone in her path and loid doesn't even blink an eye

just saw a take so bad abt a character i like and actually my cat jusr walked in. i'm fine

#chirping #take SO RANCID i feel shaky #he doesn't act the way he does bc of any Quirky Silly personality traits!!!!!!!!!! oh my god!!!!!!!!! #he blends in as much as he can while still being a target #he helps as much as he can to make up for the hurt he feels responsible for #he acts the way he does to make people think he's weak! that he couldn't kill them in the blink of an eye #GRAAAAAAGSHFBDNZKENJD #he would not act the way he did if it made him more of a target #every move he makes is calculated to avoid as much pain for others. not because he's just a Goofy Guy #and like the thing is. he is a goofy guy! he loves making jokes and hanging out w kids and making people smile #but it's not Just That. it's so much more. yk i'm gonna stop myself here lest i go insane #thanku mari for listening to me whisper rant abt this to her (mari is my cat) [she is black and white] {and very soft}

[eorzeashan]

I keep forgetting Eight is SIS a lot of the time because I could never decide if it was the right path for him or not and most of his interactions with Jonas were outright failures that only made him even more disinterested, but then Theron comes into the picture again. And of course that is a point of deliberation.

Theron feels a responsibility towards him after KOTXX for not realizing sooner that Eight was just following Lana's orders to an obedient T not out of his own personal desire or will, but the simple need to repay a life debt, a fact which escapes most of the Alliance and even Lana herself despite it directly opposing his usual behavior. As the kind of person who has to save those in front of him whether they like it or not, this guilts Theron immensely not only for being a part of the blind crowd but enabling a violent warmongering path for Eight that he realizes now may not have been Eight's wish after all, that he'd pegged him all wrong-- and worse, treated him like so.

Eight himself cares very little at this point whether Theron treats him favorably or not. He was here to be used, and he was used. It's the way he's always lived. For a time he might've had the small hope to understand Theron and Lana during SoR, but that faded very quickly come KOTXX. He lived the same way during Intelligence with the added benefit that he did care for those people as they cared for him, but it never removed the stain of the dirty business he'd permanently undertaken, only made it more acceptable as part of his life and not treated like dirty laundry the way the Alliance did.

Theron latches on to the small thought that they could've been different if he'd only tried to get to know Eight, and out of a desire to make things right in his mind, starts attempting to extend the proverbial olive branch even though it's an awkward and uncomfortable attempt that feels too little too late. He has to do something, and try as he might he's not the kind of guy who cuts people loose to stay out in the cold. And maybe part of that is residual guilt for not protecting the Sixth Line and Master Surro, his repeated failure to be responsible for those under his command. Eight is essentially his last chance to prove he can do right by others, even when they share no common ground or bond. It's the barren ground of their relationship that makes him want to try, even if he shouldn't be using him as his own redemption.

Somehow this results in Theron making it a personal point to be involved in Eight's life from them on after, SIS included: unofficially, he stays as his handler. He prides himself secretly on the notion that Eight seems to like Jonas even less than him, which is legendary given Eight's notoriously aloof attitude (but not much to brag about from an outside perspective) and the SIS more or less doesn't give a womp rat's ass whether Theron meddles as long as the ex-Imperial agent stays on a short leash, and that's.. fine with him. Theron wouldn't have asked regardless.

Still, he tries. Hopes at the very least he can keep the SIS' use of him to a bare minimum so what happened in the Alliance can never happen again, optimistic as that is. Checks on him often enough that it looks like they're officially assigned to one another, and even lets him go in and out of his own apartment as he pleases (Eight gets his own. as usual, he doesn't care for it much and it still makes Theron antsy that he'll come to it one day and find it completely abandoned, so this is fine).

Eight doesn't say much. Comments that the life is fine when asked, doesn't watch the holos but idly listens when he puts it on. Does his work and doesn't when he's off the clock. When asked about how he feels killing Imps, it makes Theron's blood run cold when Eight casually says that was his only job over there too.

Theron buys him some street food in an attempt to make something different. At the very least, Eight says it's better than rations.

#weird qpr losers at it again #swtor #ooc #rishi trio #he keeps hanging out with him bc he feels bad lol #they don't know what they are too each other and at this point they're too afraid to ask #theron to eight is the weird guy who keeps inserting himself into his business. not the worst thing to happen to him #eight to theron has turned into some kind of charge that he wants to see go from a weapon to... someone happier #ofc doesn't know how to do that or even fully know why so he's just. with him now #the SIS can't tell who's following who around #it *is* a direct parallel to Keeper's own treatment of Eight in the past #anyways it's just a really funny thought they still end up as weird roommates #and i STILL DONT KNOW if he'll pick the SIS or going back to ImpIntel #bc briefly imagined the absolute hurt Theron would feel seeing them on opposite sides again #and realizing he's right about his suspicions that Eight had no desire of his own during KOTXX seeing the way he goes back to cold busines #as his enemy and fighting for yet another side that cares not for him #but also it's just really fucking funny to randomly have your only debatable friend be an assassin who you're also trying to #take care of and you know he can kill 10 people without blinking but you'll feel like shit forever #if you don't convince him that coruscant hot caf is tasty actually #you also don't know if he likes you or not bc he doesn't say anything.

For the fanfiction trope - miscommunication

Ohhhhh >o<)/

Grade C! If it's well written and in character? I eat it up. If it's realistic for the characters to do, or they're so hard headed they do it on purpose.

But if it's just miscommunication written to cause conflict? -.- rip. I will actively drop dramas for this let alone fanfic (oh hello darkness that is some bls loving to add the misunderstanding "I saw you with a cute girl/boy/ex, you're cheating!" Near ep 11 just cause they want one more excuse for drama ToT)

(Also lol I have the memory of a goldfish I forgot for a sec the ask game and thought this was a prompt ToT from when I asked for prompts like last week)

#ask #replies #ask game #<3 #that said: again if a fic is in character? feel free to rec me i like That miscommunicatioj #and universe knows my fic What Makes Monsters Stop Devouring is full of guardian bitches who #wont say their Actual Fears ToT #mildly unrelated. a mini zhaosu theatre of miscommunication #its valentines. pei su's classmates all found him so cute he had chocolates at his desk-no note of who gave them. he goes home (to tao ze's #of course. begging tao ze-ge to help him with math even though he doesn't really need help. #thinking tao ge is pretty. he offers tao ze the box #tao says oh pei su you like candy more-you have it. pei su looks away and pushes it forward #'its a gift. please just accept it.' tao ze acquiesces and puts it in his worn out bag. uncertain if it gives #pei su bad memories of some schoolkid. or if this is related to pei su mentioning tao ze was cute a month ago. when pei su came out #to him. so after he drives back pei su for the night #he goes into night shift at the station #and drops the box of candy on captain luos desk-newly promoted. he says congrats but luo weizhaos eyebrows raise #and hes certainly going to take it the wrong way. 'are you-sweet on me tao ze?' tao ze:'of course not. #take things at face value. stop reading into things that arent there.' captain luos face fell then scowled absentminded. 'fine. #but you know. its valentines day.' tao ze blinked. 'i didnt. i wonder...' luo weizhao glanced over at him 'wonder what?' #tao ze:'if our little pei su got turned down.' he shook his head.'i cant imagine a sweet boy like that..no. not unless #hes having trouble emotionally... mn.' captain luo picked up a chocolate and ate it. #then he spoke. 'maybe we should call around. see about a therapist. hes been through a lot. maybe he'd rather open up to one #instead of someone involved like you.' tao ze took a piece too-since luo was eating thoughtlessly now. distracted with pei su's affairs #tao ze hummed in agreement. 'ill ask him. if he'd like that '
