Destina's Guilt

Out of all of that I still think the four women sitting together and Marcia holding Kerry’s hand hit me hardest. At first it was such a bitch move from Caroline and seemed so much like it was just done to cause everyone else pain, and on some level she absolutely got pleasure from their initial discomfort, but she was right. They all deserved to sit up front and they all needed each other. They have survived him.

Will never stop thinking about how Leo, all alone in an endless void and being beaten again and again and again by the only other living thing around, still finds comfort in that space. The situation he was in was completely hopeless, and in any other circumstances he would not have escaped, at least not fast enough to save him from permanent (or even fatal) damage, be it physical or mental.

And yet, despite the bleakness of his situation, despite the agony and helplessness, all he needs is one glance at a crumbled photograph, one glance to remember his family, and that’s enough of a reason for him to smile.

Maybe that’s why his powers center around manipulating space - because no matter how much space is between them, no matter how dire his own situation may be, just the thought of his family, alive and okay, is enough to give Leo hope.

i'm really here...i'm alive

Hello Ash.

I just finished She Who Became the Sun and I’m crying. Dying. Dead. Deceased. Thank you for jumpstarting the ripping out, stepping on, roasting, and eating of my heart that has just transpired.

Aside from the obvious Zhu and Ouyang, what’s your favorite character parallel in the first book?

HIII thank you THANK YOU im so happy the propaganda got you too <33 and HMM much to think about!! I will say that it's been a couple of years (I think?) since I read swbts so the details are fuzzy but one of my fave parallels are between Ouyang and Baoxiang, especially for how strong they become in hwdtw too. They are both seen as lesser and not conforming to the "male" mongol ideal, ouyang because he's a eunuch, wbx because he's not a warrior. They both go against their roles in a very explicit and performative way: ouyang by becoming a war machine and truly embodying the masculinity of a mongol warrior despite his inability to truly ever being considered one bc of his mutilation, wbx by refusing to become a warrior and acting super feminine (genuinely don't remember how much of it is genuine and how much is out of sheer spite but id say at some point the lines got blurred for him too. the guy has Problems.) Something something "femininity" being forced on someone vs being choosen and its Consequences. They hate each other. they're scheming together. they're scheming against each other. they loved Esen. they had to kill him. being gay is a curse. being gay is a game and i am winning. they fucked each other in a parallel reality. and most importantly they're twinks. this does not even begin to cover how insane their dynamic truly is.

going to scream. when castiel goes bonkers as god, powered-up over 9000, dean gives up on him one hundred and thinks he's no longer there. but sam, the blood-addict, lucifer's vessel, the freak, the one who is supposed to be evil, who has succumbed to 'darkness' here and there, knows, and doesn't. and castiel is still there, and in need of help. and what would have happened had sam not been there.

im just saying i think its interesting that despite how ultimately bleak, selfish and cruel the city and its residents are - its still extremely common for people (mainly fixers) to work together. and yeah i know its because there's strength in numbers, but at the same time a lot of those people get attached to others in the offices or syndicates they work in. they celebrate together, go drinking together and some of them even fall in love with each other. despite everything, there's still love and companionship to be found in that hellish world

yeah no that's an intentional sign that i condone real life incest. i also didn't write "in private" and "not in the presence of a minor" so that obviously means i support public indecency and child sexual abuse. you fucking idiot.

shadow the hedgehog 2005 or something idk i never played it

WHY SHOULD HE

thinking about the relationship between mightily oats' "the worthwhile [words] don't burn" and constable dorfl's "the words in the heart cannot be taken"

the batman's grave #3

[ID: Bruce Wayne in his Batman costume but without the cowl. He's sitting in front of the Bat-computer which is off panel and is holding a tea cup that Alfred just gave him. Alfred asks, “Are you using evil computer skills to commit financial crimes against dark capitalism, Master Bruce?” Bruce smirks slightly and says yes and Alfred bursts into a large smile. He tells the billionaire, “There's hope for you yet.” END ID]

AU/prediction for S5. MK goes beserk in his kaiju form and mei shows him a drawing he made of him and mei back in S1 MK runs to mei to knock her out but he stops just a few feet in front of her when he sees what she's holding.

more AU since i don't think this will happen but there's always a chance!

thinking about "what if kendall went to stewy after the carcrash" but specifically because I KNOW that stewy would immediately get into his gone girl era, not because he wants to keep kendall out of prison (he does) but because his first and most pressing thought would be "IF THIS COMES OUT THE BEAR HUG IS FUCKED"

If I can give any advice about making life a little happier every day is to look out for the little things. Like listening to your favorite song over and over until it cheers you up, or looking at the sunset, or seeing a pet do something cute and taking a picture of it. It's remembering sweet things other people do and being reminded there is still good out there, and trying to be kind to yourself by noticing one nice thing about yourself, giving yourself credit or letting your body enjoy relaxing when you have a break. Life is about those little moments, those little things, and it does help you feel more content if notice them, if you seek them out, even if it is just for a moment, you can feel grateful that for a second today you were happy about something.
