people who infantilize autistic / ADHD and baby faced people (especially those with both), die challenge

The mentally stable Dimitri Fire emblem 3 hopes.

It surprises me that there's still ppl claiming so, but then I remember we're talking about 3h interpretations and I have to make peace with it.

But that doesn't stop me from venting a little bit in this little space I have lol. Actually, it dries me and makes me feel bad to bring this up because I will have to talk bad about Dedue, and I don't want to talk Bad about Dedue. He's a genuinely good boy. But "Human" nonetheless, which means Flaws. I like Felix too but he's become some sort of a clown that doesn't make me feel too bad. I like Felix tho, In a different way.

Mostly talking about these two because the take that "Dimitri has better support system" baffles me because, technically, these two are his support system in HopesVerse. The persons who Dimitri relays on and seek solace/advice/support. The rest doesn't really tackle any of his personal struggles (aside from the Mage!Mitri frustrated dream, but that's out of the bad equation in our 'mentally unwell' set of pixels, and Shez only has a glimpse). Contrary, to Houses verse where the whole blue lions cast knew about his shit, didn't know what to do, but didn't leave either.

I tackled this topic with other person on Twitter who was (or still is) on board with this take and the phrase they used was They contained him better, which of course I agree and remarked that was exactly the problem. Contain him is gonna be contra productive. I used a water dam analogy, where the structure of such dam is damaged, and the pressure of water keeps accumulating. Causing a foreseeable damage for the dam itself and the surroundings. You don't need to be a genius to understand it, you need experience or knowledge for mental ill topics tho.

I really don't want to extend so much on here because it's mostly just, rant format more than a proper analysis so I just want to point out these two things in their support conversations.

First, Dedue. Encourage him to keep on the vengeful path. Which we know was the final goal of Azure Moon and if you payed attention to 3 houses message. The whole Vengeful argument was something Bad, to keep it simple. Despite Dimitri actively looking for answers/guidance for something that, in a rational state he can see clearly like vengeance will consume his life (also Shez and Felix called out this behavior). Dedue answer only encourage him to keep on that path, because he would do that 💔. Presenting 2 oposite views is a great formula for confusion and disorientation. Now, Dedue's role is primary SUPPORT, not guidance nor orientation. He will support his shit no matter what, and we are quite aware of that if played Houses.

Second, Felix. Felix is a special case. He is smart but also an idiot lacks A LOT of soft skills to actually be of help. He's the only one who knows in this verse about Dimitri having a mental issue. In their A support to say the least, so they don't close or solve anything. What makes it more worrisome is the fact that Felix conceals the issue as a secret.

"So try to keep that whole "removing their heads" thing in check, yeah? We can just call it our little secret."

this extract here makes me feel so unwell 😭help

The whole burden falls over him and his lack of skills and wisdom on the matter will be too much for him later on. He at least, will be able to recognize that the problem is beyond of his capabilities and will look for help. Felix himself has his own issues and journey where he needs to learn. He's forced to get pass beyond some of his angry teen behavior but hasn't completely get over it.

There is a lot more to tackle, but that requires more work and time. What are the topics some of you think is important to cover around understanding the Hopes verse resolution? Dimitri's route? something? Do you think the route without Byleth is better? With that being said, I would like to delve deeper into character analysis, and the role each played for the Lords too. That also requires to talk about the Byleth and needs a whole analysis on their own, which requires time (which i don't have much lol) To end this vent, I would like to encourage people to do a little research for the terminology they're using like "Support System". Who makes it up and how it operates successfully. The fact that ppl saying "he has better support system" only because he didn't go feral on the run alone is not entirely valid. A reminder that people can feel alone with or without people around them. And containing the issue within doesn't solve any problem. At best, it's presented later. At worse, it gets worse.

seriously though, can we stop associating redemption with forgiveness? redemption isn't about being forgiven, it's about trying to do better and be better, even if you're not forgiven.

sometimes you make mistakes that people can't forgive and that's okay. the important thing is to remind yourself that you're on the right path, and you're going to be a better person regardless of whether they want to forgive you or not. that's their decision and they're entitled to it.

sometimes people forgive you and sometimes they don't. but you shouldn't stop working towards being better just because someone refused to forgive you. because you shouldn't be trying to fix your mistakes solely because you want that person to forgive you, you should be fixing them because it's the right thing to do.

btw im gaining some attention so anyone here for vees stuff!! if you think the vees are better off without valentino!! and hate on him constantly!! and say that vox deserves better!! get off my blog!! block me!! i don't want that negative energy towards my babygirl on my page!! i recognize that valentino does awful things, and he is a terrible person, but if you think he's the only one of the vees that's super awful then please go away <3 vox and velvette are literally no better, they AID HIM in what he does (velvette's love potion, vox's advertising of said love potion, not to mention their own personal issues). you can hate him as much as you want but if you want him dead because vox and velvette need to get away from him or you think they're too good for him, please dni!!

Obligatory reblog for sample size and sound off in the tags if desired!

going slightly feral today for characters who don't think of themselves as being "~into~" touch and physical intimacy suddenly discovering that they actually are, in like an embarrassingly huge way

"oh fine, I'll indulge you, but I'll have you know that I'm not exactly cuddly, darling. 🙄" (proceeds to wrap themselves around their partner in their sleep like a boa constrictor) (yes this becomes a regular occurrence)

"no dear, I don't like hugs" (does, in fact, melt into each embrace with a soft sigh and eyes sliding shut, all gooey inside like a person-shaped fudge brownie)

"how juvenile. I'm not ticklish, I'm not a child. 😒" (starts convulsing with stifled laughter if their partner as much as wiggles their fingers in their general direction) (no they are very cool I promise)

"don't touch me 😒" (secretly pouts when their explicit wish is respected. no wait come back i didn't mean don't as in don't, i meant it as try harder. yes i know that's counterintuitive. no you should read my mind exactly. how is that even hard--)

"*makes a longing 🥺 face every time their partner is doing something just out of their reach, wanting to touch them but not wanting to come off as ~needy~*" (scoffs and turns away when asked if they want a hug) ((that means "yes please"))

"ugh, fine, but if you ruin my hair--" (all but tears up at having their scalp gently scratched. finds that they do not give a solitary shit about their hair now, actually.) (yes, they will now regularly plop their head in their partner's lap as a silent request for scritches. they're not cuddly, though.)

will not hold hands. will, however, knock shoulders while walking. (it means try again. it means please never stop trying.)

characters who usually appear dominant and intimidating on the outside/in public but are super gentle with their partner or even enjoy being submissive for them in private 🤝 characters who appear calm and shy in public but enjoy showing their more dominant side to their partner only

Gundam Wing age discrepancies: a vent post

I’m sure it’s been discussed to death by the rest of the fandom and everyone came to a consensus to not give a fuck a long time ago, but I’d just like to voice my personal discomfort for canon which isn’t just improbable or silly but which simply does not add up.  In this case, it’s the Gundam Wing characters’ ages not keeping up with the passage of time in-series.

The main series takes place in AC195.  Endless Waltz takes place in AC196.  All of the characters are stated to be one year older in Endless Waltz than they were at the start of the main series.  However, the main series takes place over a span of nearly nine months in AC195, from 6 April to 24 December, and an additional full year passes between the end of the main series and the beginning of Endless Waltz (24 December AC196).  Unless every single character was born between 25 December and 6 April, some of these characters have to have passed their birthdays during the main series and then passed their birthdays again in the year leading up to Endless Waltz.  That’s just how time works.  We obviously know Relena’s birthday is 7 April, and it appears to be canon that Quatre’s birthday is 12 December to match his voice actress (which would mean he turned 16 twelve days before the end of the main series).  I personally think it would be poignant for the characters to figuratively and literally come of age during the war.  By all accounts it seems logical and thematically fitting that most of them are 16 at the end of the main series and 17 in Endless Waltz.  And I would be content with that, except canon materials state that they are not 17 in Endless Waltz.

Do you understand the position this puts me in.  Do you understand how difficult it is for me to disregard canon even when it clearly makes no fucking sense.  That is not how my brain operates.  I need these numbers to add up and they are NOT adding up and it is driving me INSANE.

The thing is, it is remotely possible that most of their birthdays fall in that tiny window of time from 25 December to 6 April.  But we know at least one birthday that doesn’t: Quatre’s.  That’s where things all come apart.  Quatre’s canonical birthday of 12 December makes it impossible for him to be both 15 at the beginning of the main series and 16 in Endless Waltz.  And if I have to disregard the canon age for Quatre in EW, there’s really no reason for me to believe all of the other pilots’ birthdays fall within such an improbably small window just to fit canon ages that are already questionable at best.

tl;dr  Just this once, fuck canon.

I hate being faceblind because all white guys with brown hair look the same. They just sometimes have beards.

Every time I watch I show I squint and ask “is that?? Is that the person from [show]??” and every time I am met with ridicule and laughter

it's a shame that i intentionally avoid talking about serious things on my blog. tumblr user "enjolras and grantaire die for what they believe in" might have thoughts on revolutionary suicide and martyrdom

"art is good if it condemns bad things" and y'all can even fucking tell apart glorification from condemnation the majority of the time if the characters don't break the fourth wall and hammer it into you

i wish the people i loved so dearly took better care of themselves :((

you're saying you don't have little people of your own creation parading around in your brain all day? i don't know... sounds fake.

i can't settle on a gender headcanon for tsumugi. she's a trans boy. he's transfem. she's something in between. they're every gender at the same time but also none of them. schroedinger's gender. all i know is that he has nice boobs in every version of herself.

if theres one thing heaven officials blessing has taught me its that queergender is the way to go. yes thats a man yes thats a woman yes shes nonbinary no he doesnt align with the gender spectrum whatsoever theyre something else entirely its everything at once

true happiness comes in the character looking fem as fuck one second, masc the other, while simultaneously being neither. the world is literally in our hands why should we limit ourselves to simply one when they can be all

Alright, therapist rant -just a small one-

Not fighting back -in reality or in fiction (looking at you writers)- does NOT mean not knowing how to.

Abusive relationships are based of manipulation, victim-blaming and gaslight mostly! There's violence too but the reason why people don't defend themselves is not because they CAN'T but because they don't think they should. (Because of fear of the beating getting worse, or because they think they deserve it.)
