#we love a build up in this house

The idea of Mike “gently rejecting” Will in S5 is such a silly concept to me. It truly would make zero sense from a narrative perspective or from a character arc perspective. That’s why many Mlvn diehards don’t even really believe it will happen. They believe the show will move on without ever really addressing the Mike-shaped elephant in the room. They believe Will’s happy ending will simply consist of his friends and family accepting him and giving him a hug, and that’s it. And maybe he’ll get an unnamed bf in the finale. (That is, unless the show makes Will a secret villain and kills him off. Then at least he’d be interesting).

Some even take Will’s words at facevalue, believing that El truly commissioned the painting or at least that the intense romantic feelings Will described really belong to her. Now that Mike has confessed his love, they believe that S5 will finally consist of happy Mlvn couple moments, so there won’t be any time for Mike and Will to be together even as friends to talk about any lingering feelings. And why would there be time, since it’s the apocalypse after all, and Will is just a plot device and isn’t really relevant to anything? The Duffers must be exaggerating his importance to S5. The Core 4 is Mike, El, Lucas, and Dustin. Will’s romantic desires are meaningless.

They have to believe all this, cause if they don’t, and they still want to believe in Mlvn endgame, they have to conclude that Will’s emotional desires will be central to the plot of S5, Will’s feelings are the glue that put Mlvn back together, the painting will come up again because El didn’t actually commission it, Mike and Will will be close enough in S5 to have meaningful heart-to-hearts, AND Mike is 100% straight and will…. gently reject Will and promise to always be good pals; he just sadly doesn’t swing that way?

Silliness, objectively.

Anyway, Byler endgame.

#byler #will byers #mike wheeler #stranger things #stranger things 5 #‘but sometimes unrequited love just happens! didn’t robin lovingly/gently reject steve?’ #okay but you see how that’s different right? #you see how a character we just met rejecting another character with a crush within the context of one season because they are a lesbian #is very different from a boy finally confessing his feelings to his childhood best friend #after 5 seasons of building up how special and distinct and different their bond is #and after devoting his entire arc in the penultimate season to making those feelings clear to the audience #without actually addressing it/directly having him confess in said season #only to finally confess his feelings (that he and most of the audience already believes are unrequited) #and get ‘gently rejected’ by that best friend who is straight and that’s all there is to it #you see how that’s completely different and makes no sense narratively right? #yes you do #that’s why you downplay will’s feelings #or you downplay will as a character #because that’s the only thing preventing your house of cards from crumbling

Love the idea of each previous hero's journey being mostly lost to time, such that each time the cycle starts again absolutely no one picks up the very obvious clues that might lead them to the hero.

Oh, you've named your blond haired blue eyed child Link, have you? That's a good name!

Oh, he's found a strange red and white maned horse he's named epona who has utterly bonded with him? How unusual!

Yes, the princess Zelda is the same age, isn't she? What a good omen for the family!

We know he doesn't talk much, but he's the sweetest lad, don't worry!

Don't fret, dearie, his wanderlust will abate when he grows up, I'm sure it won't get him in too much trouble before then.

Prodigious little swordsman, isn't he? He would make a great knight if he wanted to when he's older!

Oh? Rumours about a long forgotten temple in the woods? How strange! Are you sure it's not just the children telling stories?

Look at him in his armoured green outfit! That hat looks lovely on him - where did you find it?

#It's so funny #In just about every Zelda I've played there's been about a hundred signs link is In The Building and no one ever notices #Twilight Princess was the absolute worst everyone just kept bringing up Its The Hero stuff and it just was not clicking #By the time we got to epona I was half tempted to make a bingo card #Heck he even has a tree house!! #Strong oot time genes there XD #There's something about loading up a Zelda game and going 'yup. This is a Zelda game alright' but NO ONE in universe notices #YOU ACTUALLY LIVE THERE YOU GUYS STUDY THIS IN HISTORY CLASS #it also opens up the great trope of link casually knowing stuff from previous lives he absolutely shouldn't and nobody taking it seriously #Until he comes back with the master sword #Some of those games were particularly bonkers and if the specifics never got recorded then there's no way anyone would believe them #A zora princess tried to marry the hero?? Lmao try writing fanfic #Listen I know it says the hero came from the woods but kokiri don't exist he would have just lived in a cottage or something #How dare you besmirch the hero's honour! He would never lower himself to base property damage! Never mind pots! #No hylian can ever wrestle a goron are you insane?? #Talking boat.... Sure #But you just KNOW Zelda would get some scholars and they'd hang off his every word #I love fics where link just casually references some world shaking knowledge (ie rito being zora descended and their own squid ancestors) #Or what the divine beasts were named after #Or what time travel feels like #Or that the myths hylians came from the skies are true #Or what one Zelda did when she vanished centuries ago #Or what the giant skeletons were #That kind of thing #Sorry I rambled #long post #legend of zelda #loz #loz zelda #loz link

not me typing a whole rant about some catholics being insufferably smug about their "better looking churches" while ignoring the history behind the barebone austerity of protestant churches and then deleting it all because my seething anger isn't christ-like either

*gnaws on wood* God help me love your children even when they are absolute prigs

#christianity #catholicism #CAVES!! PROTESTANTS USED TO HAVE TO WORSHIP IN ACTUAL CAVES!! #THEY INVENTED PORTABLE PREACHING CHAIRS THAT COULD BE DISGUISED AS *BARRELS* #BECAUSE THEY WOULD GET KILLED OR SENT TO THE GALLEYS OR LOCKED UP IN JAIL OR SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES IF CAUGHT WORSHIPING #YOUR CHURCHES HAVE ALTARS TO MARY'S GREAT AUNT AND JOSEPH'S SECOND COUSIN'S TWICE REMOVED BE SERIOUS #EUROPEAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRALS WERE BUILT WITH TAX MONEY AND COMMISSIONED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES #PROTESTANTS CHURCHES HAD TO BLEND IN OR BE DESTROYED #and sure some places don't have that historical context #protestants weren't persecuted in the US and the catholic church wasn't state-sponsored there #but obviously that bagage informed their architectural choices for centuries afterwards DUH #are you being dense #and do you truly genuinely believe the God who came to earth to tear the temple's veil and preach on beaches and mountains *cares* #He told his own people *repeatedly* that no house they could ever build was worthy of His glory please be humble #He *deigned* habit the tabernacle and then the two temples as a demonstration of his grace and love not because the buildings merited it #and then He explicitly made *us* his temples and He promised to be with us wherever we worship Him please be humble #God doesn't care about stained glass windows He made the entire sky so we could always see his glory <3

after ivory's birthday, dallas took their earnings from some very successful nights at the flamingo and moved our lil family to san myshuno! they did not trust the glitchy, twitchy school system in strangerville okay 🌵

an incomplete list of animals i'd like to see utilized in gerudo valley + canyon + desert + highlands

#it's always been crazy to me that there are no cobras or cobra-like bosses in the desert considering that's klasjdlakj #the gerudo symbol is almost certainly a king cobra gestalt #and the desert colossus is wearing one aklsjdlaks #more sNEKS NINTENDO #lozhc #oot eidolon #scorpions too we love scorpions in this house they scare me but I love them #and tranchlas where are my trap door spidies nintendo #the gerudo territory is huge gimme some native aminal to look at #i am complaining again but it also cracks me up that they're like 'it's too hot for horses!!' and there are wolves running around out there #I do understand that the horses can't cross quicksand that makes sense to me but you could just make them refuse to touch it and throw you #that gerudo race where you're supposed to build something but setting records with a sand seal feels very john henry and hilarious

The only thing that kept me going was knowing you were here.

#bcsedit #better call saul #mcwexler #jimmy x kim #kim wexler #jimmy mcgill #been seeing a lot of people saying that they don't deserve a happy ending after everything and though i get why that's being said #i disagree with the idea that they must be punished by the narrative in the form of an absolutely devastating end where they both die or #are broken down even further because they're Bad People and they Deserve It...their relationship is the heart of the show and #i don't believe that the writers spent over half a decade building this relationship up just to leave everything hanging in the balance #we can argue all day about jimmy and kim being Good or Bad but they love each other. they do. and bcs is a love story #do i believe that they're going to live happily ever after and get a fairytale ending? no of course not but i don't see a doom and gloom end #for them either. narratively speaking jimmy has been in prison all this time and who knows what kim has been up to all this time #i just don't think it would be narratively satisfying if the ending was about punishing them i really don't #i think it's going to be bittersweet for sure but there's no doubt in my mind that it'll be full of heart.... #but god all of the takes about jimmy not deserving to meet up with kim in the gene timeline are just making me root for it even harder #and i really hope the world turns back to color the moment he sees her and idc how many people think it's cheesy <3 #and you know what someday maybe they'll finally get their house. #mine

Good episode! Will post more thoughts later probably. BUT REBECCA my beautoful queen….. I will always treasure the good times we had (thinking of her whenever Party in the USA came on my Spotify 2000s playlist bc of that silly ass elephant x donkey AMV. Don’t ask)

#but for real :( #this post sounds silly but I am serious ‼️ #she is so fun and probably my favorite kidspouse (?) bc we’ve seen the most of her #like Marco is my favorite but mostly just the version that exists in my brain #+ welcome to fabulous house I’m building #actually no yeah. Marco is my favorite. but Rebecca is up there. my powerful centrist ice cream girlboss :( #also. sorry for saying this. but my first thought was that it would be really funny if Terry died again just. unceremoniously 😭 #I love him. so much! but it would be silly #also I sincerely hope that Veronica does not die before we learn one single personality trait she has. SORRY #I need to stop using so many periods. anyway #dndads spoilers #dndads #dungeons and daddies spoilers #dungeons and daddies

write to me

#I drew this when I was VERY stressed (days ago) #bee doodles #Tuvok/Janeway #Janeway/Tuvok #st voyager #st voyager art #letter writing and the preparation of warm beverages #Janeway & Tuvok seem like they'd call each other things like 'my other half' and 'my moral center' and 'my dearest companion' but then you #ask if they're dating and they're like Noooo. Absolutely not. and they're not but they are coming into each other's rooms at night #because neither of them can sleep well and talking about Mark & T'Pel while they lean against one another (holding the warm mugs instead of #hands - that comes later when they can pretend that maybe they were asleep) #because they're the only ones who know Mark & T'Pel - you're the only part of my old life that's here and that's a comfort and that's a #tragedy (because I care about you too much to want you here but I need you too much to wish you were anywhere else - and maybe I'm too #selfish too and too afraid to be alone) and when they're talking about Mark & T'Pel they can ignore the fact that they're leaning against #each other and how good the weight feels and how much their chests ache and how much they want more. Not even sex or a kiss but something #steady that lasts. (hold me close even if you can't tell me it'll be alright) #two people who're loyal to everything - too loyal to ask for what they want. They aren't dating because they're married to ghosts now and #to leave that haunted house would be to admit that there's nothing left there - that the grieving's done - and if the grieving's done then #the loving is too. It has to matter - it has to be present to be real (follow Starfleet rules follow Social rules follow the rules we make #up on the fly and honor as if they've been longstanding. Build a little life with me. Define strong lines we cannot cross. Look into my eyes #to make sure I'm not longing. Double check. Triple check. Don't look away. Please.) #When I want to hear your voice I'll read the words you've written - but I won't ask you to stay #Kathryn Janeway #Tuvok

help I can't stop thinking about furniture. it's keeping me from thinking about the other way more important things I need to be thinking about (Jenkins, Dan Fielding, etc.)

#I could have just said John Larroquette but. I didn't #but anyway kitchens are expensive furniture is expensive paint is expensive #if we were rich I would be having the best time of my life. I'd love moving to a new place. #I'm having the best time playing with my 3d model of the apartment like it's a doll house #BUT actually buying things in real life is hell and it makes me so sad #god. imagine all the furniture I could assemble if I had money... sigh #trying to think about my guys to fall asleep but the furniture won't let me. ugh. I love furniture so much. #I know we're going to ikea next week and it's so bad how stupidly excited I am about it #ikea was probably my first hyperfixation as a kid and I haven't liked anything else for this long (it's been like. 27 years lol) #I cannot be normal about it #I will get to build shelves. and put things in shelves. organise things. build our wardrobe (for the third time in three years) #whenever we buy the kitchen I'll get to build most of that and then organise it too #I'm soooo excited!! and this time I'm only like... slightly chronically ill! and I won't have two surgeries right after we move (I hope....) #so maybe I'll have enough energy that it won't be awful this time! #anyway #need to sleep it's 6:30 and I'm so tired but my brain won't shut up #also my cat. he is yelling at me. I don't know what he's trying to say but he's very upset apparently #personal

Honestly I think in another life I would have maybe tried my hand at engineering

#was talking with my partner about it today #i really loved building stuff 😭 i was obsessed with legos and blocks and lincoln logs #i loved figuring out how things worked #i took pens apart just to put them back together #i wanted to learn how to do woodworking lol #and then i took 3 years of it in middle school because it was required #the teacher was really aggressive though and he hated me so much because i was kind of slow and very shy #i think maybe that’s why i never. yeah #also okay i’m dumb as shit with math #you show me numbers and i will cry #stats are fun though but that’s not really math is it #also side note lol that teacher ended up getting arrested so. lmao #anyway. yeah #edit: OMG I JUST REMEMBERED #when i was in 5th grade we built houses with wires and batteries and lightbulbs and i fucking loved that #i was obsessed with lightbulbs??? i loved learning about all the parts #okay i’m shutting up now afhkl

i really love histology

#jo in the tardis* #i think it's my favourite out of everything i have/had this year #especially this semester because all the chapters we learned in the first semester are functioning like puzzle pieces now #i love anatomy and genetics a lot too but histo is the full package because it's the best rep for my art + science ideology #and the general approach of everyone who works there is so warm... genetics is in the same building which is such a bonus to me #because it's literally my house <3 #i think i'm gonna tear up about this again oops #but for real i'm only striving for a higher grade in this in order to apply to help next year students learn #because that is the condition. otherwise i don't really care about grades anymore #i only want to know i learned this the right way on an independent level

basement is flooding 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 :(((

#my most favorite magical amazing silliest place in the universe (my room) is in the basement :( #it’s not like Actually flooding but Someone (we don’t know who. might be our new neighbor.) turned on the hose outside and just. left it on #and the water leaked into our basement and into the walls and shit. there was a huge pool of water in the furnace room or whatever it’s #called and. there water literally underneath the floor. like literally water is leaking through the floor boards and i found out when i sat #on my rug and realized i was getting all wet. like i literally walked across my room and water was seeping through the cracks of the floor #water was EVERYWHERE #in like over half the basement. the floor of the main area is ruined i think and holy shit apparently like the inside of the walls or #foundation or whatever is so like wet and soggy that we might have to take out the entire wall that separates my room and the furnace room #and if we have to do that my stepdad says he’ll just remodel the entire basement while we’re at it. which means my room would basically be #gone. this is so fucking stupid #all because some idiot left the hose on. and we don’t even know who it is either. i think it’s our new neighbor because he kinda just #comes to our house a lot and talks to us or just hangs out in our yard. and sometimes he shows up when none of us are home #idk it’s stupid apparently there’s a shit ton of damage and that’s freaking me out because i literally love my room so much it’s my favorit #place to be ever and all my friends call it the autism room because it’s filled with all my favorite things #like my walls are bright neon lime green i got collections and shit i’ve got minecraft posters and like a million plushies everywhere #my room is literally so autism coded #ANYWAY. probably nothing will happen but yeah #side note i have a shit ton of asks to answer and tag games to catch up on and stories to read but i’ve had literally zero spoons lately #i’m gonna play minecrafttttt (in the process of building a pc so soon i’ll be able to get mc java!!! excited about that!!!!) #wyrms says stuff

WRIOTHESLEY IS HERE

#got him got him got him got him got him #at 85 pity on a guaranteed... rather late but he's HERE #i am exceedingly pleased i like him so much #he was a personality pull for me but i actually ended up liking his kit a lot? which was a surprise #so erm. SLAY #oh!! considering building him a team... likely rosaria xingqui zhongli #which gives me a reason to finally fucking build my (c6) rosaria and (c5) xingqui #zhongli of course slays the house down. i wouldn't have it any other way #means possible abyss team fenangling (IF wrio is floor 12 worthy...) but we shall see! #he'd have to outperform either alhaitham/raiden/nahida/zhongli or childe/fischl/kazuha/bennett... #oh lol would be good for an abyss rotation that prefers cryo chars. really the ultimate goal is a GOOD team for every element #i don't like running the abyss all that much but i do love making team comps for it #mostly for the primos though. it's about the grind #REALLY i'd like to make wrio an exploration team but (to me) that requires zhongli kazuha (parkour) + a bow character (sniping birds) #but idk. maybe i make a wrio exception. he deserves it #anyway. currently collecting bugs for him to eat. reminds me of fiending for scarabs for cyno #see this is why i should get itto. complete the trio. boys who eat bugs #and THEN i can run monogeo <3 #anyway. back to wriothesley. who fucking named him that. dude doesn't even introduce himself by saying his name #fucking. “call me your grace.” dipshit #and his kit... really really happy that it's 1. fun and 2. actually packs a punch... perhaps he may be more than a pretty face after all! #granted my half-built wrio has a crit ratio of 8% cr and 187% cd. slightly horrific but when he slays he SLAYS #that's what a lvl 90 crit dmg weapon plus a crit dmg ascension stat will do to a mf. oh and like three lvl 20 artifacts #also love how they animated his punches -- he's light on his feet/bounces after the atk sequence. feels fluid + real #the attention to detail is so nice!!! i love these little things they're so wonderful #see i would love to compare it to heizou's atk sequence but the guy avoids me like the PLAGUE. istg i got THREE 5*S on his featured banner #no heizou. i remain heizouless. it's ridiculous. also very funny. literally what are the odds... c6 yaoyao + 6 copies of xiangling... no zo #hmmmm i'd probably wish more on wrio's banner but. erm. i will likely not use any of the 4*s here and i already got TWO DORIS. bad bad bad #sorry thoma and chongyun... i love u but u i don't want to build u </3 #in short. i love wriothesley i am EXCEEDINGLY happy. he's living in my teapot and i'm gonna get him to friendship 10 so fast...

the fact that there’s hurricane family lore. i love it.

#i don’t think anyone fully knows it either #ik at one point ludo was maybe a god which made me n my sibs demi gods #idk if that idea was scraped or not but it is funny #we need a canonical story. it’d be goofy. #i’m down to write a myth based on the hurricane family shenanigans that’d be a fun project #tho my fave part is the idea that there is an actual house/houses where we reside #and it’s just build like the houses from hello neighbor or edith finch #i like the idea of waking up morning and suddenly seeing an entirely new room and a new chair at the table and just. going with it. #idk i think abt the lore and giggle sometimes. it’s so silly. i love it.

I love my friends

#i think im just going to talk in the tags for a moment. got a lot on my mind #for starters. the fnaf movie comes out soon. really looking forward to that. think its gonna be awesome and amazing and I'm super excited!!! #secondly. waiting on funds so i can buy that mask i saw the other day and some Halloween candy from Walmart #i . want to do little goodie bags for the kids in my building. but im too scared to go up to their parents and ask candy preference and #allergy concerns. so. idk. maybe I'll just save it. I think it's a cute concept but it makes me feel like my mother. #she loved to do little gift things for people. but it was always people that didn't like her. i don't want to be that way #i know my value. i know my time and energy means something. i don't want to waste it on people who don't give a shit. ya know? #not saying the kids are those kinds of people. not what i mean. but just as an overall thing. i don't like being like her. #...yeah. i dunno. you get raised by one person your whole life. you pick up some of their characteristics #i can't sob without sounding like her. safe to say i am a little emotionally constipated. so i seek other means to relieve that feeling. #like yesterday when i threw up. i played it off like that was a blunder on my body. but i know what i did. #hey. at least it's not the other method. right?. .. yeah. okay. i know. not great either #but it hurts. and I'm so fucking sick and tired of crying over her. genuinely. it's exhausting crying all the time #but that's the only way I can get those emotions out #I've tried to do the counseling thing. but other things made that impossible. then i moved. #and i tried the grief thing but instead i just got a talking buddy? he helps me get out of the house yeah. #but we dont talk about her #... i dunno. I'm just here. #guess i waited long enough. now you get a mini secret. every time i make an i love my friends post. I'm reminding myself why I'm still going #I'm usually sitting around somewhere in my apartment (desk couch bed) crying. alone. thinking about you guys. #so uh. thank you. #i love you guys so much. and i don't know where I'd be without you #probably dead. #💖 #vent
