doctors are so fucking funny; if you go in like "based on my extensive research and corroborations i think i have this Disease" they will immediately go on the defensive and ask you demeaning shit like "how do you even know this Disease exists?" but if you go in and play stupid and say "gee whiz i'm just a silly little bimbo who doesn't know a thing but i have symptom, symptom, symptom, and symptom" they will very eagerly be like "oh wow, that sounds like Disease!"

maybe i'm a bitch but if i hear you go out of your way to judge someone's weight, i immediately lose trust in you & will probably forever find you a little unbearable . yes also the little floating bar over my head will start reading [hostile]. this is natural and u caused it.

Thinking about Lestat seeing Louis’s eating patterns as a waste of his gift/himself while Armand gives Louis food that he literally can not enjoy or digest just so he has something on his stomach

Jackie realizing she’s gonna have to take care of shauna and jeff’s ghost baby

speculations and thoughts but in a wholesome and IM SO EXCITED way (crossposting from twt @/fxnghxol)

you know feel free to disagree but i think it's so important for stede's character to have this unhinged pirate era bc ultimately, this is how hes gonna realize what he truly wants - a life with ed. he never had the opportunity to feel badass, to drink and behave so recklessly. hes kind of having his teenager era where he can finally experiment and experience things he never even thought of.

ed had plenty of time to experience this exact life and he realized it's not for him. now it's time for him to experience domesticity to realize if thats what HE truly wants. and how and with whom he wants it. (and this is where anne and mary come into the picture; retired pirates who found a way OUT - this plotline is going to be so fucking exciting oh my ogd. them showing ed that it IS possible to live a life after being a pirate, that he deserves a life after being a pirate, that it's okay to want this and there is a way to have it.)

they both have to go in different ways and on different journeys to come to terms with themselves and their respective needs and wants. and, at the end, when they both realize that what they truly want is the other in their lives, it's gonna be so fulfilling (not just for them, but for the audience too.)

do i want them to spend the majority of the season together and not separate? YES OBVISOULY I WANT TO SEE THE PIRATES IN LOVVE AND HAPPY

but i honestly think this is the only way for them to have a healthy relationship. they both need to have this freedom, to find out who they are without any masks and pressure from someone. this is how the REAL ed and stede are able to have a happily ever after. and im sooo glad and excited to see their separate journeys and where it leads them and how it changes them and makes them grow. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

“stizzy” and “edizzy” this “steddyhands polycule” that i’m being violently sick on my shoes actually

It’s been said before and the fact that I’m an Izzy simp aside like having a character who survives the most certain death shit ever (shooting himself in the head at point blank) and literally being nicknamed by another character “indestructible” and then become a symbol of protection for a whole group of people die from a fucking bullet to the side that was established in universe to have no vital organs in order to “atone for his sins” or however you wanna spin it and have him say he wants to go after (see point one) literally trying to kill himself in the show that is literally about growth and betterment of the self in a cruel world that wants you dead and where the main (and mostly queer) characters survive the most batshit insane injuries is like COSMICALLY stupid writing like I don’t even understand how you get there and the fact that it’s supposed to be a kind/ happy/meaningful ending is beyond me

im so terrified that im not going to be able to survive living on my own which is like the most horrifying thought to me because my own independance and getting out of my parents house has always been like a top priority for me but im like really bad at taking care of even my most basic needs and it doesnt help seeing ppl talking about autistic people not being able to leve alone, like i know that a lot do but what if im one of the ones who cant

Well. Thats disappointing. I love another queer show that I don't finish because a 1950s ass choice was made.

“ooooh late-diagnosed people have it so hard it’s so much better for people who were diagnosed in their childhood” stop it! they’re just giving you excuses! i was diagnosed with autism at a young age and my college refused to accept my paperwork because it was “too old”, meanwhile a bunch of my peers are given shit when seeking accommodations and whatnot because “ooh you were diagnosed too late”. no one has it better they’re just telling you bullshit.

joe when he (hopefully) finds out h!rhys is actually a hallucination

lol my student teaching supervisor sent me my feedback video because he observed me friday and it was twenty minutes long and he essentially said that he was disappointed in me and that i did a disservice to american poetry so i'm feeling pretty good about myself

IMPORTANT INFO WHEN I QENT TO ADD YOUR ASK TAG TO THE ASK YOU SENT ME THE FIRST THIBG THAT CAME UP WAS YOR TAG BUT THE SECOND ONE WAS BEVERLIN. MWAH

AHHHHHH DJSDJSBDJSBSJSHHDBDWWKJFVEHRVF HEAD IN HANDS HEAD IN HANDS!!!!!

i've come to the conclusion that stede's the jealous one in my au

close the gap aizo 2: ice cream boogaloo

I totally agree with you about roleswap stuff and I've wanted to rant about this forever so sorry in advance but like way too many people roleswap characters and end up switching their personalities and character motifs. Like what's even the point then???? Its not even the character, you just changed their appearance. Like when people erase Eds disability or roleswap Ed and Al (who very strongly believe in not killing others ever and refuse to use the philosophers stone even when it's basically handed to them) with the military characters like Roy and Riza??? It doesn't work for me at all, in what world would Ed ever wanna be fuhrer ever, it doesn't fit him as a person. They just swap his personality with Roy too it's weird lol. Realistically, without Roy, Ed and Al probably would've never been involved with the military.

So back to your au, I agree that swapping Winry with Lan Fan and Al with Mei makes the most sense even though Ed and Al can still be close, i assume it's not the same as it is with Ling, there's no clans so there's no competition I guess? They don't have to be distant!

I really like this tbh and I'll be honest it's like the only roleswap au Ive cared about (except sometimes people draw alchemist Winry and mechanic Ed and that's super cute too but I'm otherwise uninterested)

LITERALLY !!!! that's been my biggest peeve for roleswap aus for the LONGEST time and is honestly why ive been disinterested in them since for most aus of that caliber i just... see people slapping on different roles and outfits and personalities onto a different-looking character? that's pretty much it since it's the same character in a different font at that point haha

also YASS !!!!! for lan fan and al and winry that's pretty much what i was thinking !!! i think al's situation would be something more of, again, he swaps with mei and STILL knows alkahestry, but he probably goes to xing to find ed a little bit into the plot after ed and ling meet since the elrics r presumably VERY close in this au (and winry probably follows suit with him since i don't think everything is entirely beat-for-beat.. not sure who fu would swap with and i don't want to say pinako but oh my GOD it'd be funny). still not entirely sure about mei and lan fan but for my sanity i'm absolutely saying sibling trio shenanigans

but OEOIGIOOIGOUGUO thank u !!!!!! 🥺🥺 i've seen a lot of ppl saying they're interested in this little au thingy and i am SO glad and am very excited to answer more asks if ppl want to send more in !!!! i'm just glad ppl care about it so far ヾ(^ω^*)
