I was thinking about how Tubbo keeps his rose in his backpack versus how he always kept his funeral flower in his offhand. I wasn't sure why he wouldn't want to keep the flower that Fred gave him in his offhand because surely that one would mean more, right?

I actually think it's a symbol of Tubbo's depression and how he hides it. When he had the funeral flower in his hand, he was sad and didn't really try to hide it. He didn't shower, he was incredibly reckless, and purposefully hurt himself multiple times. That flower was out where others could see, much like his emotions and mental state at the time.

The rose is different. The rose is hidden away and kept safe. Tubbo is seemingly better, he's "showered", started being more mindful of his actions/surroundings, and isn't purposefully hurting himself. But he's still hurting and in a poor mental state that many of the eggs have called him out for. He is still experiencing depression but it's well hidden.

Tubbo kept the funeral flower out because he felt like he had a reason to display his mental state. he figured that if anyone asked and saw how badly he was doing, he had a reason to feel the way he did.

On the other hand, Tubbo doesn't really have a reason to keep feeling like he does after Fred returns. Fred isn't dead, so what is there to be upset about? He hides the rose. He doesn't want people to ask because he doesn't have a reason (in his mind) to still feel the way he does.

Both flowers directly represent how he handles and shows his mental health to others on the island. The funeral flower was out for everyone to see and the rose is only known to exist by a select few people.

#the only ones im aware know about the rose are fit the fed workers that saved him and sunny #versus the fact that literally everyone knew he had the other flower and no one really questioned why he had it #he also panicked when he lost the funeral flower which can be read as him worried that his mental state and feelings are out of his control #he was also afraid of others taking it and not getting it back #qsmp tubbo #qsmp #tubbo #frubbo #qsmp fred #meta analysis #maybe? im just chatting shit but it makes sense in my head

they invented old men so i could be happy

#duskmaw #wc oc #waca oc #warrior cats oc #his story is he lost his husband fogfennel to the hawk that scarred his side #and remained a quiet warrior afterwards. he had night terrors of the hawk fight but never recovered from them #he became close with a kit named kestrelkit and eventually became deputy #where he allowed in a kittypet named joey much to much of his clanmates disdain #many cats disliked his acceptance of ‘friendly’ outsiders versus aggressive ones #and he eventually became leader #and outlived multiple deputies without losing a single life. joey was chased from the clan by his mentor and duskstar regretted picking tha #mentor #he became like a father figure to kestrelchirp and a cat named wolfyowl #but eventually realized he’d likely outlive them by many lifetimes #and not being able to cope with that gave up his lives and handed leadership to his deputy darkwhisp and became a senior warrior again #duskmaw (oc)#duskstar (oc)

in romcoms today you get like this chaste kiss at the end while they sorta get together

in Notting Hill (1999), the leads kiss, have a little thing without fucking and then she leaves for her douchey boyfriend, meet up again way later and have a wonderful time and FUCK, then there's an issue and she leaves again, and then Hugh Grant walks through several seasons while Ain't No Sunshine plays, then there's another little misunderstanding moment + a grovel from her, THEN a RACE FOR YOUR LOVE bit

and not once was I bored, I was iNVIGORATED throughout it

#tbh an issue i think we have w romcoms today is that ppl go 'oh i want a comfort movie'#and they and subsequently producers think this means low-conflict and boring #and it's like....... notting hill is one of the chillest movies ever made lmao #but it's also p high-conflict #both leads do random little fuckups #but the coziness is not lost #also they have an actual relationship off and on through the movie #so it's not like this thing where you're like well i hope for the best for them #they work out legit romantic issues throughout #versus just REALIZING THINGS at the end #anyway this isn't even my favorite movie but whatever #i just think it's an interesting contrast

Did you know? Trigger Happy's guns bears a slight resemblance to Maverick REV-6s, a toy made by the toy brand of NERF.

i am having many thoughts on how Dazai's humanity has shifted from his pm days to now, at the ada, and how this has effected his relationships with various people in different ways and i--

#hello yes i do have a big assignment due today #why do you ask?#dazai is a damn parasite and i can't stop thinking about him #but just. JUST #one example #skk in the pm days #such an interesting dynamic and i love them #but #BUT #i don't think any sort of real relationship could have ever happened #Dazai was actively pushing away his humanity at the time (perhaps one day i will elaborate what i mean by this)#versus now #Dazai is more in touch with his human side #still confused and a bit lost #but more human and more open (which is to say. he sort of expresses himself. sometimes.)#so 22 skk can be something so much more #the way he interacts with Atsushi vs Aku is a very very good example of the ways he has changed #and the ways he views humanity in himself and in those around him #and don't even get me started on him and Kuni or Ranpo or--#bsd #anyway #back to suffering uni work #but i will (maybe) come back to this with more cohesive thoughts

okay so we all know the “the belt corrupts” theories but have y’all considered that maybe it’s the scarf? mjf isn’t like that, he’s just been exposed to the scarf’s influence for so long that it’s poisoned his mind completely. punk stole the scarf and kept it for like a week, and then his entire life spiraled out of control. even now he hears it whisper to him at night and freaks out and posts shit on insta stories. if mjf wants to break the curse he needs to realize that the scarf doesn’t love him and destroy it. scarf versus career match. all in london main event. total bloodbath

#mjf #friend and i spent hours discussing this and now i'm obsessed #you can't spill blood in a scarf match cause it makes the scarf stronger #it drinks the blood greedily #quite obscene to witness tbh #no one is the same after a scarf match #you leave something behind #not physical it's just - some part of you is lost along the way #also my friend pitched that every man mjf has screwed over should team up against the scarf #pinnacle punk bryan (cody) versus scarf #scarf gets a flawless victory #that's how mjf realizes that he needs to destroy it #for the next half year he battles the scarf over a series of matches just acting out the most traumatic storyline in wrestling history #it's fucking haunting and the audience begs him to stop and people ringside cry blood and he's in to deep #if he doesn't defeat it no one will

On that Zhao yunlan and Luo wenzhou comparison point... Zhao yunlan might be more like fei du. At least as far as the whole:

Rich family (but Zhao yunlans is admittedly more mildly rich and influential like Luo wenzhou's, not like CEO rich)

Easily read as demiromantic (I mean fei du has 1 maybe 2 crushes ever and it takes years <3 I feel you babe. Zhao yunlan meanwhile has the issue of trying to find love, oh I feel u babe, but people never love him back or he can't click with them and it is sure Partly he's a workaholic who does secret ghost hunting work so like he has a big secret chunk of his life he hides which hurts attempting to connect. But also the whole process of going out, being a flirt and trying to optimistically date people, only to end up sad love didn't work out. I guess one could say he likes people physically attractively fast cause hey he sees Shen Wei and is like I GOTTA lock that down, murderer or not. But I'd counter maybe he's allosexual, and/or you know that whole lovers in past lives thing is working under the surface lol with a Lot of years of soul loving shen wei helping the odds.

Flirts and goes with acts of service and cute words (all 3 Zhao yunlan, fei du, and Luo wenzhou go this route actually) but their lovers are stronger and Also do this type of flirting and if both of a pair are trying to manhandle, their lovers win.

#guardian #silent reading #lb #zhao yunlan #fei du #theyre not like Exact jusy have a few similarities #cause like. for one fei du is young and that REALLY influences how he acts #hes never been in love. hes also been VERY traumatized and not coped much or healed #versus zhao yunlan whos had plenty of failed relationships ans lost ppl he loved and that brings maturity #in knowing whay he wants and aware of what he emotionally risks when he flirts. and hes got his own trauma #(just his dad alone) and again at almost 30 you get the sense he really worked on it alone somewhat and like #he has very Firm boundaries with his #dad which is a pretty healthy way to deal with it #fei du is just also. way closer on the Actual Villain of stories type eange. he IS like the guy in flower of evil #hes like the one IN THE COMA. hes like that one

Inda shook his head. “I won’t.” Tanrid took a step toward him, mouth thin, eyes dangerous. “It’s our honor at stake.” “Honor,” Inda croaked, “requires me to stand to the truth. Dogpiss died.” He gulped on a sob. “And it was not. My. Fault. I. Will. Not. Take. The. Blame.” ... “...Yet. I promise you, Inda, on my honor, on my soul, you will get justice.” ... Sponge’s arms closed round him, and held him, in compassionate, loving silence while he slept.

- Inda, book 1

“Yes.” Inda’s voice was so low, and tired. “Yes, Evred, I’ll stand up against the wall. Or if you’re going to flay me at the post, then do it. I won’t argue. I know what I did. Please. Just do it.” “I do not want to do it,” Evred retorted with barely suppressed violence.

- Treason’s Shore, book 4

#YESSSSSSSSSS I LOVE CIRCULAR NARRATION I LOVE WHEN CHARACTERS END UP WHERE THEY BEGAN !#BITES AND CHOMPS STICKS TO BLOODY SPLINTERS YEAH #50 strokes with a willow wand versus being flayed to death #one 11yo boy's accidental death during the summer games vs direct treason to the king in refusing to go to war (preventing loss of lives)#sponge powerless promising justice as he cradles inda gently vs evred a martial king unable to stop images of yvana-vayir's flaying with ind #inda's face instead #11yo inda barely understanding the whys but knowing he's gotta stick to his convictions vs older inda STILL sticking to those convictions of #moral truth and right over law politics and convenience but THIS time not putting up a fight for himself #all the people. all the friends he's lost over the years due to violence greed politics and war #dogpiss. tanrid. rig. dun. noddy. hawkeye. all the pirates in ship battles and marlovans in the andahi pass #they all died but inda survived and now he doesn't want it anymore #he'll take the flaying over exile he's Done #;-;#inda quartet #sartorias-deles #it's the good shit

crazy to me how i perceive my korean vs how others perceive it

#must be the imposter syndrome because i cannot explain it #also the fact that i feel like i'm stuck in a slump/the same level of korean #earlier my friends and i were talking and one of them said 'here we have a non korean speaking like a korean' and i almost cried #not because i was glad but because i felt EMBARRASSED #sometimes i feel really frustrated #from the outside it may look like i have it all figured out like i can speak it well effortlessly #but actually not i study so hard and been doing that for long #and i still never feel like it's enough #i don't know if this is something that every language learner feels like #been particularly bummed about how 'not enough perfect i am' versus how much friends hype me #i wish i could improve even more but why isn't it working??????#i think it's also my issue where i have my comfort zone and i like my wordings but theres much more grammar to use and #i shouldn't be afraid of trying #i lost my train of thought there i wanted to say much more but nevermind #i've had a shitty weekend and i think i want to scream about 26 different things at the same time #don't mind me guys #i also really miss jonghyun #and i'm so angry and hurt about time flying in many aspects of life #i cannot even catch up cannot even spread out my aspirations that it just keeps going #frankly i need a break to breathe but i cannot stop either #ANYWAYS. goodnight i'm so tired of thinking #i love jonghyun #didi rambles

You don’t realize how integral staring at a lake is to your mental health until the option is back on the menu and wow I fucking love lake

#my college campus had a lake and i went out there to write like daily #they had ducks it was great #10/10 lake #I moved so I lost that lake #now I have a new lake #it doesn’t have nearly enough ducks in it #but it does have shade and benches and no one at it #also no fire ants like the park I can walk to versus drive

“what’s on these?” megumi asks, holding up a box of memory cards.

cleaning day always unearthed all types of lost and forgotten items. sometimes it was clothes long forgotten in you and gojo’s closet, other times it was the kid’s old books or toys. you knew every inch of your little apartment, so most times you could identify any mystery items that came up.

“i don’t know,” you hum, plucking a card from the box to inspect it a little more closely. the only hint as to what’s actually on it seems to just be a date.

2006

…and it’s in gojo’s handwriting.

curious, you pop one into the video player and turn on the tv. the kids join you on the couch, clearly eager to entertain any distraction from your cleaning crusade.

when the screen flickers to life, a familiar courtyard comes into view.

you can’t help the gasp when haibara comes into focus…but then you see satoru standing standing across from him, arms spread out.

“who is that?” megumi asks, pointing at haibara.

you think of the bright smile of the boy still lingering in the edges of your memory and tell him, softly, “an old friend.”

“suguru!” gojo shouts, looking towards the person holding the camera. he’s all messy hair and wide smiles, exactly how you remember him in his youth. “make sure you get this one!”

geto grumbles about how he’s paying attention, and suddenly you remember exactly what this is.

“ah, these are from when yaga would make us record ourselves practicing cursed technique application,” you explain as a haibara lines up a shot with a pencil.

the pencil hits gojo in the face, gifting him a small cut on his cheek. “ah, shit!”

behind the camera you can hear nanami and geto laughing as haibara apologizes profusely, and shoko comes over to practice her healing. you come over too, holding a cloth.

“don’t pout,” your younger self says, reaching up to wipe a thin trail of blood from his cheek. “you’ll get it next time.”

as soon you turn away, you hear geto snicker and the camera suddenly zooms in on gojo’s face.

he’s blushing.

“ugh,” you hear him groan behind the three of you, finally finished cleaning the bathroom. “are we done cleaning yet?”

“we’re taking a break!” tsumiki tells him, as megumi pops another card in.

gojo ignores megumi’s protests, stealing the spot on the couch next to you and wrapping an arm around your shoulders with a smirk. “move your feet, lose your seat.”

tsumiki, angel that she is, moves over so her brother can sit on your other side as the video starts.

this time, gojo is the one recording, holding the camera out so it’s pointed at his own smiling face. “haibara versus nanami, round one!”

you feel your boyfriend stiffen beside you, looking over to see an odd look on his face. “oh, fuck—”

“jar,” megumi says flatly.

he glares at the kid, and is about to get up when you stop him. “wait! i want to watch this!”

he slumps back, throwing an arm over his eyes as he groans dramatically. ignoring him, you watch the fight play out, which ends with haibara whining whilst in a headlock.

you hear geto’s murmured commentary off camera as nanami releases his classmate, expecting the video to zoom in on the victor.

but it drifts a little to the left, where you’re laughing with shoko on the sidelines.

“so obvious,” geto scoffs. the video wobbles for a moment before being pointed directly at the tips of satoru’s shoes, then ends abruptly.

when you glance over at satoru, he’s pulled his sunglasses over his eyes as if they can hide his pink cheeks.

the next videos are similar. memories of your past viewed through a different lens, showing you things you’d never picked up on when you were living them.

some moments you watch with an aching heart. like when suguru leans close to you and makes a joke at satoru’s expense, or when you reach up to ruffle haibara’s hair.

(moments with cherished friends proving that the grief of losing them never got any lighter as you moved forward with your life, but at some point you’d just gotten used to carrying the weight.)

but what might be most interesting is seeing yourself in satoru’s eyes.

his focus, whether he was the one holding the camera or not, always seemed to drift to you. for all the times he’d denied crushing on you in your early years, the camera proves otherwise.

the way he peeks at you shyly as you fix your hair before a fight.

the way he reaches out instinctively whenever you’re knocked backwards.

the way he smiles brightly whenever you laugh at one of his jokes.

the way your gaze would occasionally meet his, and his smile seemed to come naturally.

“okay, that’s enough for tonight,” satoru announces, shutting the tv off and shooing the children away. “go clean your rooms, you freeloaders.”

you stand, looping your arms around his neck before he can run away. smiling, you gently pull his glasses off, tossing them onto the couch.

“hey! those are gucci—”

you shut him up with a kiss, feeling the way his lips curve upwards against yours. “i love you, you know that?”

blue eyes meet yours, the pensive look he’d been wearing melting into something a little softer. something reserved for you. “you’re obsessed with me, i know.”

you simply laugh, letting him dip down to give you another kiss.

(because you’d had his heart in your pocket long before either of you had realized.)

#thank u cherrykoo12 for this prompt omg #gojo x reader #gojo satoru x reader #jjk x reader #jjk fluff #keeping up with the fushigojos

Emily on Adventuring Party saying "I was gonna reach out to Ruben but then he dropped a fucking 9th level spell on me," is pretty illustrative of the difference between how the players see the game versus how a lot of folks online see it, like...why am I seeing people say stuff like "oh, they're all anti-capitalist until the battle starts and then all of a sudden, they're cops???? Do they not believe in restorative justice???"

These are kids who have plotted the deaths of the Bad Kids well before any of them actually did anything to warrant it, other than being good at adventuring. They've been openly antagonistic or have lied to and manipulated them. We're like, two episodes removed from them killing one of their own clerics (for the second time!) because they lost their opportunity to kill all of the Bad Kids. They sent dragons after a house full of kids that they launched into the sky in a wildly premeditated plan. They may have magically corrupted Gorgug's house!

The Rat Grinders have been manipulated by their teachers and magically corrupted by rage, yes, but even if you want to talk them down, if there's a rage wizard with ninth-level spells running around, you don't let that motherfucker drop a meteor swarm on all of your heads, like...there are priorities

Well

I have my hat but couldn’t find my headband

#at least it was the cheap kind at Walmart #still #inconvenient tho #I had a ‘fave’ one once but lost on the way to down town #and don’t remember what kind/where I got it for #so it’d be hard to replace #but this sunhat is better coverage than a headband anhwyas #but I prolly also need that for sweat even if I don’t jog versus walk lol #personalice
