almost died? tk gets it. need a hit? tk gets it. missing your dad? tk gets it. longing to be seen? tk gets it. grieving? tk gets it. just want to feel something? tk gets it. afraid? tk gets it. Brave? TK Gets It.

#about tk #anyway thinking about the way he searches for how he is impacting the people around him thinking about how #well that contrasts with Owen thinking about how one of the first things he says is dad you should tell them we can't do this #we don't belong here #they haven't even gotten rid of the flowers this place isn't For us there are families who are Grieving

low key i think to deny Riko's trauma is to deny his narrative importance in the story.

like Riko's trauma related to his father parallels neil's. His concept of brotherhood adds complexity to Andrew and Aaron's relationship. He acts not just as an antagonist but as a foil to other character's relationship to trauma and violence.

to solely view riko through the lense of his actions is to miss the point. He is a character in a story, not a real breathing human being.

#i don't know guys like i though we were having fun here #lets go back to making up literary motifs that are probably nonexistent in a self published book series thats basically a sports manga #i'll start #isn't it nifty that riko was abandoned by his father and then abused and ostracized by his guardian figure in a very similar way to neil #isn't it fun that riko was cast aside by his father for his brother just as andrew was cast aside by his mother for his brother #isnt it fun that aaron kills someone to protect his brother while riko's story ends with his brother killing him #love earned through death in both ways #isnt it fun that riko's hunt to be the best ends with his brother killing him in the same way he essentially 'killed' kevin #by smashing his hand #isnt it fun how riko is just as desperate for love and attention and belonging as everyone else #there is a story in which riko is saved and heals from his past in the same way every other character does #the fun part is that story exists yet it is not the story that is told #like come onnnnn #“riko is evil” #“rikos trauma isnt as bad as *insert character” #“riko did this - riko did that - bluh bluh bluh” #im boreeeeeeddd #gnat be quiet #riko moriyama

The current situation is Israel is very confusing to a lot of people, and the word "colonizers" is thrown a lot in conversations, social media and protests. If you are not sure whether you can or should call Israel a colonial state, here is a handy guide divided by origin-country of the speaker:

The UK: OUR INDEPENDENCE IS LITERALLY FROM YOU!

Italy: THIS IS LITERALLY ALL YOUR FUCKING FAULT!

Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Greece, North Macedonia, Turkey, Mongolia: Every single one of you has conquered us at least once, so keep your mouth shut or start talking about reparations. (Yes, even the Mongols. Did you know that? I only found out a couple of years ago. Isn't that cool? I mean bad. Very bad...)

Every single country in the American continent + the surrounding islands, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, China, India, Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia: LOL. Don't even fucking look at us.

Portugal, Spain, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Austria, Sweden, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Japan: Let me check a history book for a sec. Yeah, no.

Every other nation in the world: I don't know enough about your history to put you in another category, but no.

Liberia: Literally the only nation in the entire world that knows even half of what we’re going through. They’re not colonizers, and neither are we. Stop trying to force your Western terminology on our history.

North Korea: I think you need to deal with some other issues right now darling...

Hope this helps.

#you know nothing about jews or our history #stop pretending like you do #a native people coming back from exile to their ancestral homeland are not fucking colonizers #did we make every single mistake conceivable while doing it? hell yes #have we committed and are still committing crimes against the palestinians? absolutely #does that mean we don't belong here? fuck no #either open a fucking history book or shut your fucking mouth #jewish things #jumblr #israel

A whole portion of fandom truly believes Arya isn't capable of being a leader because they misinterpreted her feelings on being a Lady, excellent reading comprehension folks

#arya stark #asoiaf #fandom nonsense #anti sansa stans #because they're the main ones who spread this nonsense idea #sure the conclusion to Arya's arc is definitely going to be her not having any involvement in society because she doesn't fit #that would be a satisfying conclusion and great message to send /srs #we get it you want her shipped off on a boat so she doesn't get in the way but it's really just getting pathetic at this point #people read about a 9 year old girl feeling like she isn't good enough and doesn't belong and went /that's exactly right she doesn't/ #also that's the only reason they ever have #just screaming at the top of their lungs that Arya doesn't want to be a lady so that means she can't be a leader under any circumstances #who cares about her foreshadowing and the skills she's learning? we don't need logic over here

[dollypopup]

just. . .do y'all remember when Polin actually loved each other in our fandom? do you remember when our posts were about how sweet they were together? when it was about how they were on one another's teams? when it was story after story and post after post of polin against the world? of 'I like you' 'I like you too'? of 'Is life meant to be this happy?' 'I think so'? Do you remember when we were all about how much Colin loved Penelope and Penelope loved Colin? When the biggest narrative was that they saw one another, made one another brave, brought out the best in each other? When the mirror was more than just a sex scene and was also a metaphor for what they saw in each other and how they reflected one another? When they were kind to each other? When we were kind to them as characters? When they were encouraging? When they were affectionate and loving and tenderhearted and messy and silly and loving with one another? When Penelope chose Colin at every turn and Colin chose her?

Where is it? Where is the love for our couple? Be honest, wanting Colin to grovel and suffer isn't for Polin fans. It's for Pen stans. Because us Colin fans are shown time and time and time again that it's okay to call a character we love an idiot, want him egregiously punished or humiliated, to see nothing good in his character at all. So who else is it meant for? I miss when we cared about them. I miss when there was a place we could go that was about their romance and tenderness. I miss when it wasn't just straight up hating on him, or us obsessed with Penelope getting with other characters, or thinking he's less than.

We have one of the *best* Male Love Leads in the entire series. And if you don't think that way. . .I just don't understand why you claim to ship this ship. We have an amazing pairing. A wonderful couple. A couple who cares about each other, a couple who builds one another up, a couple that are friends, a couple that has passion and happiness and so much potential.

Do you remember our gifsets gushing about how much he cared for her? Do you remember our metas about how they could bloom and flourish around one another? When we looked at how Colin was hypervisible but ultimately unheard and how Penelope was invisible but the loudest voice in the ton and sighed about how they fit so well with one another? Do you remember when Penelope was proud to have Colin as a partner and he showed her off at every turn? Do you remember when it wasn't a scorecard? When it wasn't about suffering and was about tenderness? Do you remember when they LOVED each other in our fandom? Do you remember when we loved them?

I remember.

And I miss it. I miss it so much.

#actually fuck it i'm untagging it #because no one fucking cares #i don't belong here and i should just take the fucking hint already #these posts are depressing #these TAGS are depressing #there's no love #there's no romance here anymore #our version of their romance has been distilled into 'heehee can't wait to see him jealous and crying over our queen' #but i want to see them in LOVE #ooey gooey happy sugary dripping in sap in love #these posts about groveling and jealousy and suffering aren't for them as a couple #where is penelope 'my husband' featherington? #where is how proud she is of Colin? how happy she is with him? #where's the tenderness? our bragging about how amazing our couple is? where's the heart eyes over their looks? their humor? #how they laugh together? #instead of seeing their lessons as quality time we've cheapened them into a series of suffering points #instead of looking at the suitors storyline and being like 'of course pen is still going to choose colin she loves him' #we want her to rub it in his face #instead of wanting introspection from colin and seeing him come to terms slowly with the fact that he loves penelope for all she is #we want a quick 'other people want her and that's not fair!' lightning strike realization #i miss when this couple was a couple #i miss when we loved them #and i miss when they loved each other #it's about drama not romance #it's about suffering and not joy #it's just painful loving this couple for both the characters and seeing them twisted into the worst versions of themselves

hey. hey someone tell me why they had Naruhodou offhandedly mention that he'd probably fall for someone if they saved him from a life threatening situation and then later in the same game had Itonokogiri save him from a life threatening situation, and also being the only character who's saved him from life threatening situations multiple times throughout the trilogy. why did Mayoi joke about Naruhodou and Itonokogiri being A Thing two (2) times in this game and Naruhodou's reaction both times is a moment of hesitation before quietly denying it, instead of his usual hard and fast snapback with a sound effect when Mayoi says something he thinks is ridiculous. what am I supposed to do with this. I wasn't supposed to be here. hey listen to me-

#gyakuten saiban #gs3 #naruhodou ryuuichi #itonokogiri keisuke #narunoko #ace attorney #phoenix wright #dick gumshoe #roch speaks #man i don't even know their eng ver ship name lmao #ANYWAY my heart still belongs to mitsunoko but narunoko is gaining a STRONG foothold in my brain #and of course my ideal endgame will always be narumitsunoko with naruhodou coming into the relationship late #but hhh there's SO MUCH going on with narunoko #in gs2 especially you can see them growing closer and they have a lot of great moments #i never thought they'd appeal to me this much but here we are

I think we may have stolen our roommates' cat.

#She's been laying on our bed since we got home. And if we don't let her hang out with us the entire time we're here she starts banging on #the door until we let her in. #I think it helps that we actually pay attention to her. Neither of the people she theoretically belongs to like to do that. #personal

[bleakbluejay]

new oc. i don't have a real name for her yet.

she's nicknamed the "Spider Hag". she's the warden of a supposedly haunted forest. "wardens" are high lords of historic families tasked with protecting regions of the realm. people think her forest is haunted because she has filled the place with an intricate web of traps -- snares, pits, nets, and so on -- to keep poachers and trespassers from passing through the forest, making it seem like those with ill intent never come back from the forest. most who see her see only her dark silhouette in the gloom of trees, and mistake the flaps of her coif for horns, and her dark cloak as shadow wrapping her up. they spread rumors that she is a witch or a demon that guards the forest. those that have met her know she is very kindly. she's polite, generous, gentle. she has a strong relationship with the local villagers, who maintain her reputation as a demon, and she provides them with high quality game and forage in return. as kindly as she is, though, there's something... off... about her. the way her wide, pale eyes scan a room, look right through you, track your every move. the way she lingers in the treeline and watches you as you pass through her woods. the way her soft, polite smiles never quite reach her eyes.

#bbjart #art #oc art #i dont have a name for her yet so i cant tag her #boohooooo #i like to think her ancestors have maintained this reputation too #so the small folk of the realm just thinks there's been one witch here for centuries #minus the lords and royal family. who obviously know them as the grand house they belong to. #we don't invite the spiders to feasts often though... they make our skin crawl.

1 advice to (too) many people: try to start taking yourselves and life less seriously. really

#💛 #Like. my dog was taking her morning shit in the backland today and then heard a blackbird sing in the conifer. she looked so mesmerized #the sight of that was everything #Once you understand nothing in life belongs to you (no gains no wins no losses no shit at all) life gets so much easier 🙏 #If you think of life as a competition...get over yourself sally and grab a coffee or go look at some clouds. You're enough as you are #Everything is transient. we're only here for a very brief moment. With most ppl we share less hours than we'd think (for whatever reasons) #so enjoy it!!!!! find the weirdness in the mundane!!! the silver lining in the freaking cess pool circus. yea please be a little unhinged #Just breathe. Life isn't out to get you. yeah maybe that fine ass. furthermore just trust it'll all work out in your favor. as it always ha #*has :) #Also be straightforward. Say the unspoken. Be honest to a fault (even if it evokes opposite reactions). Don't bottle shit up #Just relax + smile more. Invest in your own well-being and try to lookout for others' much as you are able to. that's all

sure was Something to see a bunch of people on facebook yesterday like 'haha wow this weather is great! I'll sure take 70s over february weather any day!!' and then watch severe thunderstorms and tornados sweep through that night

#HAHA WOW YEAH. LOVE IT WHEN IT'S 70 IN FEBRUARY IN MICHIGAN NO DOWNSIDES EVER #it doesn't sound like anything was seriously damaged and everyone I know is fine fwiw #but hometown got two inch hail and there was an actual (apparently brief and small) tornado touchdown like half a mile from my mom #I dunno it's just a weird... it's a weird thing. it's a weird feeling to see people celebrating something that bodes really badly #and then watching bad things happen about it almost immediately #AND LIKE. I WAS ON HERE POSTING ABOUT CROCUSES RIGHT?? it's not like I'm blaming anybody it's just...... weird #... although I mean the specific 'I'll take THIS over february any day teehee' did have me feeling a bit unhinged even before the storms hi #I FUCKING WOULDN'T! NOT IN THIS FUCKING CLIMATE AND BIOME!! PUT THAT FEBRUARY BACK WHERE IT CAME FROM OR SO HELP ME!!!! #I don't LIKE it EITHER but it BELONGS HERE we NEED IT #about me

[felizusnavidad]

you'd think it's finally getting better, i found a job i don't hate yet, i have my amazing friends, i live in my favourite city in the world, & yet... i feel like something's missing.

#the last time i felt happy was when i was at home actually #i spoke to my mother on the phone this morning & i almost burst into tears #i also miss my sister & i know she feels the same #she's thinking about coming back to poland which is insane to me #but i totally get it #like i never thought i could even think about coming back home but here we are #i don't think i'll ever find my happiness here or maybe i just don't belong anywhere #idk #sorry for this negative energy i just felt like oversharing #i may delete this later #talking shit for the hell of it*
