yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

#eve text #elmike #stranger things #byler #only tagging byler because i feel like yall will like this take lol #tagging tagging tagging WHAT ARE EVERYONE ELSE'S THOUGHTS #god i can't believe i'm making a post about stranger things. this feels like poking a bear #i'm not particularly anti m*leven but like... they'd have to do something pretty special at this point for me to feel like it's viable #i'm seeing the bts of s5 and it's got me Having Thoughts #elmike friendship is something i am so passionate about #even before i ever liked byler (didn't ship at all until s4 even though i knew it was a thing before) i've felt this way about elmike #i always believed they were close friends at heart and needed to break up #the romance part of them felt very distinctly young and very much “he was a boy she was a girl” to me #and it hasn't deepened into anything more mature and i don't see how it could based on the current state of the writing... #the fact that lumax exists — a young relationship that is actively maturing and is healthy — makes that clear to me #and the “love confession” in s4 and how disingenuous and miserable it felt was just the nail in the coffin #also the fact that will (who is IN LOVE with mike) was instrumental in making it happen? ... uh... okay... interesting choice… #fucked up and reductive if they make it another queer unrequited love sacrifice for the sake of pushing the heterosexual agenda YUCK #so i really hope the speculation about a m*leven breakup is real!! i think it just makes sense for their characters but who knows #i don't believe in the notion of love at first sight or one true love and i think the writers don't too??? #love to me is an accumulation of experiences and we inevitably choose it at some point rather than fall into it... but idk #tv is so fixated on keeping couples together... sometimes it's just not reality guys especially with young people... LET IT GO... #like i said though i'm not 100% sold that they're going to give up their “golden couple” LMAO #stranger things hasn't historically subverted too many tropes if i'm being honest #anyway i seriously need this season to come out quickly... i'm so bored and getting my master's is crushing my soul #i need frivolity #ALSO btw i won't respond to hateful messages about this so please don't bother. it's not that serious. this is a netflix show

[mustangs-flames]

absolute rat of an alternate. i hate him (said with affection)

#hail true body au #htb alt!cesar #tmc #tmc au #just some doodles #the antler and bug rot infection slowly spreads so this is what he looks like fresh out of the void #he becomes more monstrous with each kill in part 6 #he's also getting a little outfit update #mostly getting rid of the jacket for a while #and instead wearing the friendship bracelet mark gave cesar when they were kids #as a weird way of trying to 'stick it' to the real cesar who makes him feel guilty and wrong #so yeah sorry for the ramble lmao #wip #my art

[tvckerwash]

wash tormenting the reds in the most petty ways possible because he's still pissed off about them hitting him with a car and then blowing him up in s8 is so important to me you don't even understand

#I'm pretty sure I've said it on my old blog before but wash is the blues older brother but to the reds? he's the neighborhood bully lmao #that scene in s13 where wash gets all the chorus soldiers to turn on grif for refusing to attend the training sessions? 100% an act of #calculated cruelty on wash's part lmao #oh oh or in s11 when wash hooked up blue base to the ships power but not the reds? also calculated lol #wash stealing all of their stuff in s10 will also always be a fav petty wash moment of mine #he is out to make them suffer and they're not even aware of it lol #rvb #agent washington #mine #not t/oaru #if i ever write my ct lives au fic I'm going so hard on petty grudge holding wash #he is an absolute menace but he's so lowkey about it that in universe trying to convince ppl that wash is as petty as he is #is nearly impossible #the only ppl aware of wash's true nature are the counselor the director ct alpha and probably maine (and maybe florida) #everyone else sees him in a similar light as his fanon characterization #that's part of the reason why i think lina was so shock in s10 when he turned his gun on her bc to her wash was always so subordinate that #she just genuinely never saw it coming #anyway wash/ct/maine friendship is so important to me. i like to include south in there too sometimes but honestly south comes off as a #loner type. like she doesn't mind ppl but no one except north is really willing to tolerate her uh....personality for long periods of time #shes very....reactive and emotionally charged #but tbh id be that way too if i was stuck with north #north unironically reminds me of my dad but not in the good way lol #god my tags are all over the place #audhd brain goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I’m trying to enter a “thoughtfully messaging people” era. so if I see something that reminds me of someone? i’m sending it to them. miss talking with someone? i’m messaging them. just want someone to know i’m thinking of them? i’m telling them that.

best case, it makes their day or it starts a conversation. worst case, they don’t respond… so i’d say those are pretty good odds.

#scary as fuck? yes #lowkey wishful thinking? absolutely #but blah blah the thing my mom always says blah blah “’you can’t change people reaction just your own’ blah blah #but is actually very true and I need to force myself to remember that #so yeah if I randomly message you dumb shit that’s why #be warned #also #damn I forgot my new year’s resolution was ‘don’t let the anxiety win’ #need to practice that apparently lmao #grace is sentimental #grace needs to use her motherfucking words #grace is dramatic #text #messaging #friends #mutuals #mutuals my beloved #friendship #shitpost #thoughtfulness #sentimental #thoughtful #use your words

[todayisafridaynight]

What do you think Mine’s reaction to Masato / Aoki be like?

tbh they'd probably be. amicable. at the very least.

#snap chats #like they have similar values its just that mine's more openly depressed about his belief system and doesn't take pride in it like aoki #i talked about this before omg thats so funny... but yeah no aoki's more proud of 'how the world is'. prob cause he's 'on top' of it #mine begrudges the fact he needs material goods to be useful to people #meanwhile aoki's happy to exploit others if it means he advances. for the most part anyway #he only really starts to show some regret when confronted by ichi. and get the shit kicked out of him for twenty minutes #wait i was rewatching the cutscene and started to throw up cause i got reminded of me in high school again aoki you're 42 stop this #Back On Track Though. mine and aoki had similar pursuits: attain power to be loved thats the core of it in simple terms #they went about it differently ofc: for mine money was power and for aoki popularity was power. Both Very True TBH but anyway #mine realized that even with money his person wasnt valued #and aoki realized that even with recognition people didn't value his character. sins the arakawas. fcukin dummy #i mean aokis a jackass so no wonder but thats not the point of this. fuckfest of tags #they wouldnt be friends. aoki's incapable of friendship and mine would probably quickly recognize aoki as being power hungry #i think mine's been in enough business meetings And Knows Enough About Politics to recognize Professional Fakerism when he sees it #actually do you think mine'd be swindled by any 'kindness' aoki expressed like when kanda left him and he thought he just went to get help. #that shit was wack LMAO BUT REGARDLESS idk i have to go to class soon so im not gonna spend too much time thinking of this #if they needed to they'd just use each other for whatever purpose they needed the other for. idk why mine would need aoki tho #TLDR mine probably wouldnt think too differently of aoki compared to any other power-hungry freak #we can revisit this topic when. im not learning about JP history vjERJALKJ

#vent #wow I will never be able to let myself have friends huh #I am unwanted and inherently unwantable #I have it all figured out I just can't DO anything right. why is breaking silence the hardest thing to do #I can't bring myself to make/maintain/deepen friendships bc I'm convinced that I'm unpleasant to be around and unpleasant to be friends with #my company is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy #<- completely unjustified belief. I am kind and friendly and capable of responding appropriately in the majority of social situations #they reach out and I shrink back every time. no matter how much they reach towards me I can't believe that they actually want me around #and ofc the reasonable thing for them to do is stop reaching! when I never reach back! why would they expect a different outcome this time #so I can't blame anyone. I can't sit around waiting for a saintly mindreader who can see that my actions contradict my feelings #I know I just need to reach out. but how could I do that when I'm convinced it'll only hurt them? #my presence makes their day worse. I'm a mangy dog begging for scraps I don't deserve at their table. I am harming them with my presence #how can I beg for their attention and company and time when I know their life would be better without me in it #<- false belief. when I reach out I make them feel wanted and they feel more comfortable reaching out to me when they know I like them. #everyone appreciates being reached out to. I am pleasant to be around. they like being liked by me. my company is a desirable thing #company in general is a desirable thing. my company is better than no company. people like being liked. #logically I know all this to be true. emotionally? they hate me and I deserve it and the more I show I like them the more they'll hate me #sigh. what a banal problem to have.

[astromechs]

a headcanon while we're talking rogue one/ot this morning:

in my mind, jyn and han punch it out a couple of times before becoming absolute ride-or-die besties, with the kind of friendship that lasts for life and that means that no matter what they're doing, they'll come when the other calls, even if they're halfway across the galaxy

cassian and han, meanwhile, do not like each other, have never liked each other, and will never like each other

#i'm standing by this just because it's incredibly funny to me. #cassian got a bad vibe in the first 10 seconds they met and decided to be petty forever #it's not because he's jealous or anything like that so don't go there. he's just being petty and stubborn from a bad vibe ghfhf #and han's like what a bitch. the fuck is his problem. #like the comedy of this for me is that they do have a fair bit in common and could be really good friends if they got over themselves. #but they won't LMAO #cassian only tolerates han bc of jyn and also bc of his own friendship with leia #and the same thing is true in reverse basically ghdhdh

For fannfic writer asks:

Do you ever read your own writing for fun?

If you could erase any three tropes from existence, what would they be?

Hello! And thank you for the questions :)

Do you ever read your own writing for fun?

YES. Absolutely 100% yes! I write for myself and my own enjoyment first and foremost; I know what I like and how I like it, so it only makes sense that I enjoy reading my works, haha! It's a lot of fun!

If you could erase any three tropes from existence, what would they be?

This is a hard one to answer, because I'm a strong believer in the fact that there's no capital sins in writing -- as long as the writer knows what they're doing, anything and everything can become the foundation for a wonderful, poignant story.

That being said... there are some common tropes (particularly in romances) I'm not too fond of. Love triangles are one of those (they mostly seem childish to me, honestly), and I also don't really enjoy love at first sight (attraction yes, interest yes, but love? at first sight? definitely not my thing!). Contrary to popular taste, I'm not a big fan of enemies-to-lovers, unless there's an extensive 'friends' phase in between. So yeah, if I had to pick: love triangles, love at first sight, enemies-to-lovers. :)

Thanks again for the questions, these were a lot of fun to answer!

#you know that post that's like #'re-reading my own works because the author has my exact same understanding of the characters & themes and loves my exact same tropes'? #yeah that's me lmao #i definitely recommend re-reading one's works to anyone who writes! it's a *lot* of fun (and also a good way to improve!) #i'd never actually erase any of those tropes because we'd lose some incredible stories like Romeo & Juliet and the mere thought pains me #but they are very popular (esp. in fandom) and not often well-done imho #so maybe i just dislike them out of excessive exposure idk #but yeah if i had to pick it wold be those #i think they all share the same fundamental problem for me. which is that i think true deep love comes from friendship and affection first #might be because i'm on the ace spectrum #but i strongly believe there's a solid foundation of friendship behind every great love story #so tropes that try to bypass that foundation of mutual understanding and trust aren't really my thing #no shade to those who enjoy them ofc this is just my personal taste #writing

Anyway, finally catching up on ml s5, and

I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE THIS IS HOW ADRIEN FINDS OUT MARINETTE WAS IN LOVE WITH HIM

#ALL CAPS DOES NOT SUFFICE #I AM SCREAMING ON TOP OF MY LUNGS #LIKE OF ALL THE OBVIOUS WAYS HE COULD'VE FOUND OUT #OFC IT WAS FUCKING ANDRE #TRUE VILLAIN OF THE SHOW #lmao #also ya'll had me so worried about ladynoir being dead #when literally this episode had them affirming their friendship care and devotion to eo #the way he was feeling so guilty and sad and she immediately comforted and assured him #their love (as in lovesquare) goes so much deeper than just romantic love #and that is why ladynoir/lovesquare is elite supreme #does your fandom have one? I didn't think so #ml #ladynoir #adrienette #lovesquare

Deed written by Capsize (Ep. 69 Jordan, Ep.80 Tom, Ep.55 Sonja):

Thanks to your help, Hero. Ianite is now healthy again, and because she is she has decided to replenish everyones houses and give them a little extra.

A while back we promised you that we would give you any booty that we found and after you showed a fine interest in my vessel I thought it would only be right givin’ it to you.

You went against your own god to help the others. That is the meaning of a true hero.

Thank you. x x x

#the fact both Tucker n Sonja awww’d at this and Jordan immediately turn her message into something secual 😭 #I am not forgiving him for that 😭😭 #zombiecaptainduo 4ever. best friendship idc idc #there are like a lot of things that this one message say about capsize; she’s attentive and has the ability to be an absolute sweetheart #she gave him HER OLD SHIP!!! ‘that makes you a true hero’ shut up😭 #Tom is the ONLY one to be named a hero by capsize #and the only one to be names Captain by her too #mianite #I realize I also mention this note but I don’t even have it on my blog. that was so rude of me #…I should also post the rest of Ianite’s Dreams shouldn’t I? lmao they’re just sitting in my drafts #also it’s so interesting how capsize just says ‘Ianite’ and not ‘lady Ianite’ ‘my lady’ or anything like that. it’s just Ianite. #Mianite: Season One Books #mianite books

"Ruin Knows Best" (Mother Knows Best Reprised male version parody)

Before we begin, here's the link to the lyrics I used for this short fanfic(?) and of course I changed some to make it fitting. I would've done an animatic of this, but I have no motivative for that so I wrote it instead.

Okay now enjoy!

Bloodmoon: We… We think they like us-

Ruin: Likes you?! Bloodmoon, please, that’s demented!”

Bloodmoon: But, Ruin, we-

Ruin: See, this is why you never should have left! Brothers, this whole friendship that you’ve invented, it just proves you’re too naive to be here. Why would they like you? Come on now, really. Look at you! You think that they’re impressed?! Now, stop being bratty! And come with Ruin. 🎵Brother-

Bloodmoon: No!

Ruin: No? Oh… Okay. I see how it is.

Bloodmoon(other twin in mind): Didn’t Eclipse sung this to Lunar?

Bloodmoon(in mind): Y-yeah…

Ruin: 🎵Bloodmoon knows best. Bloodmoon’s so mature now. You really think that you’re in bliss. Bloodmoon knows best. Fine, if you’re so sure now, then go ahead and give them THIS! *pulls out the Master Plans that Bloodmoon secretly copied and hidden.

Bloodmoon: *in shock. H-how did you-?

Ruin: 🎵THIS is why they’re HERE! Don’t let them deceive you! Give it to them, watch, you’ll see! *pushes the plans into Bloodmoon’s hands.

Bloodmoon: *holding the plans. We will!

Ruin: 🎵Trust me, my brothers! That’s how fast they’ll leave you! I won’t say I told you so! No, Bloodmoon knows best! So if they’re such great pals, go and put them to the test!

Bloodmoon: Ruin, wait-!

Ruin: 🎵If they’re lying, don’t come crying! RUIN KNOWS BEST! *vanishes, leaving.

Bloodmoon: …

Bloodmoon(other twin in mind): Pointy man’s… just like Eclipse, perhaps worse…

Bloodmoon: He’s not our brother. He’s not family. He only brought us back just to use us like puppets. He’s nothing to us.

Bloodmoon(other twin in mind): We work for him no more. We work for no one, only for ourselves.

Bloodmoon: What will we do now, brother?

Bloodmoon(other twin in mind): We backstab him back. We kill him. We set ourselves free.

Bloodmoon: But we can’t just go up and kill him. That won’t work. We need to plan.

Bloodmoon(other twin in mind): Simple plan. Flexible. No complex. And short.

Bloodmoon: Yes… But we will need their help. If we want to make sure he stays dead.

Bloodmoon(other twin in mind): You’re right.
