#but neither does anything else

I think klavier has The Autisms and/or OCD. Btw.
"he's just a perfectionist" he got so distracted and upset about a missed cue in a song that it distracted him from a literal murder investigation. He felt so strongly about it that he couldn't get past it.
#when he does that thing where he grabs his head and shakes it like hes trying to physically shake out the feeling hes having?#thats something ive done countless times. i know the feeling hes feeling in those moments. its an awful feeling#you cover your ears even though it doesnt help and it doesnt protect you from it but you feel like you need to keep your head on#you shake your head as if you could physically clear out the awful thoughts/ feelings like an etch a sketch but it doesnt work#but neither does anything else#and this reaction in me at least is usually caused by intrusive/obsessive thoughts or being forced out of my routine without warning#he also usually does it when he realizes theres a detail jn a case he hadnt known about/considered: he hates not knowing every detail#whenever evidence/testimony he wasnt aware of comes to light during a trial he freaks the fuck out. he seems to react *really* strongly#like most of the reactions in these games are a bit overdramatic but usually its just like... someone being taken aback !!! not... despair#his reaction really stands out to me#it feels... important.#klavier gavin

there's no way the bathroom at peppino's pizza is actually that big but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . hey ummm anyway.... i care them...... anyway there's a lil ramble on my take on fake pep's like psyche or whatever in tags on the og post if ur into that kinda thing :y
hey! it's a series! fake peppino world tour: [noise] [noisette] [peppino]<- u are here [gustavo] [gerome] [noisette again]
#ramble after realtags yeag. shoutout to serrangelic btw suggesting the silhouettes thing bc i would have Died otherwise#pizza tower#peppino spaghetti#fake peppino#gustavo and brick#arting#pizzaposting#so anyway i think fake peppino has like. a general awareness that he is supposed to Be Peppino and that he was Made to do that#and likewise he does generally try to...do that. the thing he does NOT realize is hes like really goddamn bad at it#not to be mean but like...c'mon. they are pretty distinctly different kinds of guys even beyond the physiology yknow.#he's neither on-brand nor fooling anyone dsjdsjjkgfsd. BUT!#since the rest of the cast generally likes him [at least as I play it] he thinks hes doing just fine#he's like 'oh they r happy with me so i must be getting a good grade in being peppino :)'#so getting told that 'yeah you actually really suck at that but that was never the reason people liked you'#and told that by og model peppino no less--yknow THE guy he's supposed to be living up to#who's already a bit intimidating for that and who ALSO totally wrecked him TWICE in the tower#making him acutely familiar with just how formidable the guy is and how much there IS to live up to....#it's a Moment for sure. not really a sad or hurt one though. just... contemplative.#thinking abt people liking him for being the guy he's already naturally been being even though that guy is Not Peppino#i don't think he's gonna be super broken up about realizing he has a bad grade in peppino given everything else hes got now#nor do i really think he cares enough to go like reinvent himself or whatever after the fact#he seems to b pretty clearly having fun with it already so i think he just keeps doing that#and in some cases he still has the pre-installed peppino traits/instincts like to cooka da pizza. and that's fine#is this projection. yes. but if youve been following me awhile you know most of my character writing is ghdhfdgf#gonna kinda expand on all this in the gerome one which is...one after next. itll be a bit but man.#anyway peppino will never admit to anyone and especially not himself that he's gotten a little attached to the guy. hee hoo#pep tends to be kinda surly but he certainly has his ways of showing he cares. all of which are on display here#''that thing is not my son'' says man currently watching thing's antics with the 'bemused dad' arms crossed pose. yeah ok buddy.#gus is totally onto him already but hes not gonna say anything.#if u read all this ur prize is not having to go decode fp's rot13. his lines are ''meant to be you...?'' and ''wrong question.''

the fact that he spends all his time grooming kids into believing they're mature enough to consent and then turns around to condescend to them about how young and stupid they are and how they actually don't understand anything makes my fucking blood boil. i need to kill him
#“i'm so much smarter than everyone else 😏” yeah dude maybe because you only surround yourself with literal children#of course he's also just wrong. he's not smarter than them. and the tower is not the highest point in the world.#and his “ideals” and “values” are not any more real than utena's.#he just doesn't have perspective enough to see that#he thinks that he knows some inherent truth about the world. that it is cruel and therefore he must be too.#and that because utena believes in something better it must mean she just doesn't understand anything at all#and yeah she doesn't understand everything. but neither does he#and at least she's self aware enough to know that she still has things to learn#revolutionary girl utena#parallels#akio#utena#m

look i get bton has set up some seeds (ba dum tiss?) that polin will be the pairing in the Featherington Family to have a male heir first (and it's popular in the fandom as an endgame for them) and thus will inherit the estate but
consider the following:
they find out about it and go 'ahahahah NOPE' and thus become co-conspirators to get Pru or Phillipa preggo before them. because with inheriting the estate. . .what they really inherit is the debt. and neither of them are eager for that anytime soon
so one storyline is that they're on a mission to get Prudence there first so they're always out here making very thinly veiled insinuations at PruDank and make up excuses and schemes so they're alone with each other. Penelope takes the lead for this particular side of the scheme, but they're definitely in kahoots. like Colin will lead Dankworth to places and Penelope will do the same for Prudence and whoops, look at that, what a good time for the two of you to make an heir and Penelope's there in Prudence's ear like it should be you, you're the oldest, it's your right, wouldn't you want to lord it over Phillipa forever? like the devil on her shoulder and constantly hyping her sister up because please, god, don't let it be her, she doesn't want it to be her, she is a grand total of 19 years old and she wants to fuck her husband consequence free, and she can't do this chastity shit, it's not reasonable, so Prudence, time to hop on that horse! let's up and at 'em, sis
and the other is Colin coming to Albion like 'soooooooo. . .I have to ask. . .how have you managed it?' and he's like 'managed what?' 'to be married for two years and not have a baby. I mean, I'm a newly married man and I'd like to. . .enjoy my wife before we start a family. I have to know your secret' and Albion is just there going 'huh? what secret? we've just being doing it normal?' so Colin's very concerned like 'oh no, what if i've offended him? what if they can't have kids???' and Albion and him keep talking until it becomes clear that, wait, hang on, what do you mean by normal and it finally comes out that the reason Phillipa always seems like she's got a stick up her bum is because she does so he's like 'oh fuck, oh no, oh no no no, i can't be the one to inform him that's not the way to make a baby' ala: 'you are putting it in the right place?' and he's white as a ghost like 'so very sorry, i think i left my cat on the stove, i have to go'
and Colin and Penelope come together at the end of all their schemes like 'well. . .there goes Plan A. . .and B. . .and C through G' as Penelope frantically wonders if she can get Gen to pull Prudence aside and Colin is contemplating which of his brothers he can bribe enough to have the 'So, women have multiple holes' discussion w/' Albion because he refuses to be the one to do it
meanwhile, Portia is out here making potions to try to get one of her daughters to have a baby because thus far, she's batting 0 for 3, and Polin's schemes somehow always end up in direct opposition to her schemes, thus canceling out each time
tell me that wouldn't be the funniest shit you've ever watched on this show
#polin#do i dare tag anything else? lmfao#this is kind of crack but also i desire it desperately#guess i have to write it#in particular i'm just imagining that albion-colin conversation as he gets more and more distressed#going 'what do you mean? WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?!?!'#portia out here with her teeth gritted like 'I'm going to kill Colin Bridgerton' (because he is the perma-thorn in her side)#as Penelope sips tea going 'please don't i like him too much'#neither of them realizing they're on the same side#but also Portia does NOT want it to be Polin because she's like 'good lord COLIN BRIDGERTON in charge of the estate??? he's too stubborn'#because really she's hoping it's Dankworth so she can still manipulate him and keep control#and Colin is out here hoping it is ANYONE BUT HIM because no he wants to fuck his beautiful wife in rolling fields of flowers and on beache#he loves babies but maybe they can wait until his wife isn't a literal teenager#portia and colin squabbling as penelope is there like 'you're. . .on the same side?' and they hiss going 'HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT!?'

I'm now at the portion of CQL that overlaps with the volumes of the novel that I read last summer, and for all the nonsense brought by the combination of CQL's adaptation changes + reluctance to fully commit to them, I really and truly do prefer these iterations of the characters, especially WWX. I just watched the episode where JC catches him in Qinghe, and it had me chewing on the walls! The show's chronological storytelling let us see their relationship's intensity and tragic deterioration, and it delivers on making this confrontation EXTREMELY FRAUGHT for both of them. JC unleashes 16 years of unprocessed grief and anger as WWX tries his damnedest to avoid it, and the shadow of JYL's death looms over both of them. Even though the dialogue in the novel is nearly identical, the mutual urgency isn't there; JYL is never mentioned (beyond JC reminding WWX that he is the reason JL's parents are dead), and WWX himself has no emotional response whatsoever to any of it, save for an offhand mention that he was nostalgic for the Lotus Pier of his childhood. JC might as well be having an argument with an imaginary WWX in the shower. There's zero tension there. Information has to be revealed and withheld differently with the non-chronological story structure, of course, but there are ways to hint at a character being impacted by and reacting to past experiences without saying outright what those experiences are, and that is simply Not Happening sufficiently for me with anything involving WWX's platonic and familial relationships in the novel. And if you wanted more on the relationships between characters who aren't WWX? lol good luck!
#in fairness the novel DOES talk about JYL in that same chapter after WWX and JL part ways#but it's purely in the context of exposition--JYL was WWX's source of info for how he came to Lotus Pier#there's no consideration of JYL as a person (or even just of what she meant to the two brothers) at all#and then in the first two volumes GENERALLY there's no concern in WWX's inner monologue about anything else#not about WQ or the Wen remnants or how their deaths were accelerated by his accidental murder of JZX#the show drops the ball on that too but at least in the second episode WWX thinks about WQ and the Dafan Wen (before even seeing WN!)#and that's why I couldn't with the novel: either the narrative isn't as interested in the ramifications of all that as I am#or WWX himself doesn't give a shit#and neither bodes well for me having a good time!#masala necromancy wizard hour

"🤓 ackshually, ludger is more likely to think of casey as his equal rather than his LI."
#his LI options may be dozens if he does actually have any interest in romance but how many can truly be qualified as his equal#the entire aup puts zero focuses on romance but highlights nonromantic relationships that ludger has with others#did you really think him having an LI would change smth? that his romance life would suddenly become more important than anything else?#neither of them needs another half bc they are already complete by themselves & yet they still make meaningful impacts to each other anyway#am i supposed to be upset if casey is ''only'' his equal while his LI will be someone else if there is any at all?#aromantic icon ludger cherish does not care for your amatonormative thinking you pop culture junkies ✌️✌️✌️#salt

Marshall content is so scarce that my doctor has prescribed me a strict daily dosage of a man you can actually Google (pretentious way of announcing new hyperfixation)
Fr it's so hard to find anything of him 💀 looking up Drowned Counselor on here just shows our stuff and unrelated crap for me 😅 plus a couple posts about critiquing sinner designs in the hellaverse if you slap Helluva Boss onto the search too 🤷♀️
#it's always oneoff characters and background characters that get the most interesting designs#and then they get like no attention for some reason#like yeah he doesn't have an official name so that doesn't help#but neither does vox's assistant and he's slowly getting more content#and they usually make sure to at least tag it as vox assistant#maybe that's one of the issues?#i think we're the only ppl that tag marshall stuff as drowned counselor or anything else?

random but is anyone else into yosurise but in a doomed kind of way. like kind of one sided. like a yosuke is into rise in a puppydog kind of way and rise keeps trying to find a relationship but can’t and finally decides to give yosuke a try because at least he’s a friend and she knows he won’t try to take advantage of her being an idol etc. And yosuke is ECSTATIC and wants to give her the world but in an unsustainable kind of way, a desperate “i don’t deserve her but she’s giving me a chance and i need to do anything i can to keep her happy” kind of way. And rise is so flattered and like yosuke is nice but she can’t match that dedication, no one can or should, but it’s all so one sided and she feels so guilty about that but she doesn’t want to break his heart or be “mean”. all while yosuke is becoming almost self destructive by trying to give her “what she deserves” but it’s an unhealthy level of dedication and it’s honestly hurting both of them
#rambles#p4#not tagging this w the ship lol#before anyone even tries anything neither of them are ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in this scenario#just a case of two people who aren’t compatible w each other making a relationship unhealthy#like yosuke lacking in self confidence and thinking he isn’t good enough#and rise trying to be into yosuke as much as he’s into her but you can’t force that!#and also it can be soooo uncomfortable when someone is way more into you than you are into them#in this scenario she doesn’t break up w him bc I mean he’s being so nice. so she’s wondering what’s ‘wrong’ w her#that she doesn’t feel the same way back and can’t force herself to develop those feelings…#btw bc i hate myself this would probably come after rise can’t get over souji no matter what she does or who else she tries to date#she’s a pretty girl so I imagine she would just keep encountering douchebags#and so she decides to give it a try w yosuke bc he’s seen the Real her and still likes her right??#meanwhile because it’s me ofc it’s because souji has feelings for yosuke but can’t bear the thought of ruining their friendship#and so instead he sits off to the side watching his friends drag each other down in a relationship that’s bad for both of them#THIS IS SO MUCH SORRY ITS SLOW AT WORK

im thinking abt liam and bryce SO much rn now. theyre dynamic is so. sorry liam. sorry bryce
#neither of them have done anything wrong and are simply two diff ppl w two diff personalities and two diff thought processes#responding to the same single event . that they didnt deserve to have to respond to but now they just Have To#and both of them regard the other w a sort of desperation around the events of s1 but in a different way#that they respond one way that contradicts how the other does#liam doesnt care what happens to himself but bryce doesnt want to lose everything#its very realistic and very tragic because they were both important for each other but the opposite of what each other wanted at all#bryce wanted to finally heal. from everything. and whether or not ignoring one was a healthy way to do so was irrelevant#he just wanted to finally heal#and liam just. he doesnt care about His Own Life. he just wants to do this One Thing at All Costs. and no one else can help him.#he wants to be known by someone. anyone really. because he cant do any of it alone but its all he knows to do now#and nothing else matters to him#the two are just. theyre so complicated and im emotional abt it#i thinka bt it a lot but i think a good way to put it is#wrt the trolley problem? liam would pull the lever. bryce wouldnt#anyway. that piece os soooo. thinks abt them forever#i think every combination of characters in one is extremely tragic#bc its normal ppl responding to a horrible situation they didnt deserve to be in but now have to respond to#and sometimes they conflict. sometimes they hurt another person when the intent was to help. sometimes its solace in the worst of ones life#but all of them are so. i think abt it a lot liam and bryce are just now the specific ones on my mind cus of my most recent rb

I’ve seen a post recently that dismisses Lyanna’s age as GRRM being bad with picking the ages of women, basically saying nooooo it’s fine she was 15/16 and Rhaegar was in his early 20s it’s just George not thinking it through enough but I really disagree. George wrote “It was her fourteenth nameday” on purpose he knew what he was doing with that I think we are supposed to be critical of Rhaegar and Lyanna. Rhaegar is boring if you’re not critical of him. Most characters are boring if you’re not critical of them. I could theoretically come up with arguments defending many the actions of my favs as perfectly just but that is so boring. Like. Yes the protagonists are Always In The Right don’t you get bored of that? Isn’t that tiring? Isn’t it better to have a protagonist who makes mistakes? Some of you are like “we do acknowledge xyz character’s faults we do!! we only get mad about the unfair criticisms!!” and then I never see any discussion of said faults. I get that people can have a knee jerk reaction because some criticism of certain characters I see IS unfair and sexist so it’s hard not to develop a knee jerk response to it but I prommy it’s more interesting to say “well what if this wasn’t a writing oversight and the character was actually in the wrong?” Because we are all in the wrong sometimes and acting like a character has never done anything wrong makes them unrelatable and boring.
Except for Samwell Tarly I think he actually never did anything wrong.
#well neither did Bran#and I find it hard to condemn Arya’s actions#I don’t think executing Daereon was necessary#but I don’t think becoming a faceless man is a moral fault of hers she just genuinely doesn’t know what else to do#but her inner conflict is still compelling to me#whereas I have trouble connecting to characters like Bran for the very reason that he hasn’t done anything wrong#his plot line is interesting but his character doesn’t really compel me#and to be fair neither does Sam#I feel quite endeared to him but I couldn’t write long metas about him#like he’s good and wholesome and makes my heart happy#you could say yes he committed voter fraud but I think that was too slay to condemn

Rant
I love my job because I love working with kids. I love seeing them grow and watching the ways their little minds work and helping them when they need it.
I also hate my job because I'll get used and abused all day, having to do things that AREN'T MY RESPONSIBILITY because literally no one else is paying attention to the kids, I am the only one watching even though I'm NOT the teacher, I'm NOT the classroom aide, I am a one-on-one.
But I CARE. I care so FREAKING MUCH about these kids that I can't just not do anything. I have TRIED to not do anything. It never works. And it's maddening and I hate it I hate it I hate that I can be USED in this way.
But by God these kids do not deserve to suffer just because I'm the only adult in the room willing to DO MY GOSHDANGED JOB so I do more than I should because these are LITTLE PEOPLE who don't UNDERSTAND. I want to wear a shirt every day that says, "I'm doing this FOR THE KIDS."
I just wish somebody else would do it for them too.
#rant#parapro#paraprofessional#kids#teacher#rant brought to you by: my coworker who does her job was out today and the teacher wasn't doing squat#and neither was the other teacher/aide#Idk how to classify her she's there because the actual teacher STILL doesn't have her certification#so for legal reasons she has to exist#and I GET that she didn't sign up to do this for a whole school year she signed up to do it for like a month#but crap happens and you're here so DO YOUR JOB#I 👏 AM NOT 👏 THE CLASSROOM 👏 AIDE 👏#STOP TREATING ME LIKE I AM#I'm also still sick and I am just TIRED#there was NO appreciation today#I had to YELL for them to realize one of the kids hurt me (slammed his head into my jaw not fun)#this happens at every parapro job I have I swear#one of the kids called me mean today and I almost lost it I swear#GIRL IT'S BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE DOING ANYTHING#*AND* I'M SICK#not like I wasn't the one to figure out what one of our nonverbal kiddos needed#she had like ten puzzles out on a table and I had her clean them up because the other kids were gonna need the table soon#whole meltdown but we did it#meltdown continues#she's just walking around with a puzzle crying she doesn't want to DO the puzzle but she doesn't want to put it back either#WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO JUST IGNORE THE CRYING CHILD (like everyone else)?!?#yeah did that for about a minute couldn't take it#asked if she needed a hug#got down and asked her what was wrong#she finally does uppy arms at me so I pick her up

sorry for noticing endless discourse again but its truly baffling how foaming at the mouth mad people get about bi vs lesbian labels or bi vs pan or aroace or whatever and the insistence that words have meanings and blah blah blah. First of all words do not have meanings. Second of all how are we still approaching gay issues from the perspective of respectability politics instead of just embracing freedom & thinking with your dick. Twisting yourself into knots trying to find the most correct label for what is ultimately the indescribable and always shifting experience of human sexuality is literally always going to make you mad & anxious. So just pick the label that makes you the horniest. I've only ever been with women & spend more time just having weird sex rituals with myself but you know what if i ever have sex with a man the lesbian label is definitely gonna make the experience way more sexually interesting. A beloved mutual on an old blog once said being a lesbian is about fantasizing about having sex with men & then castigating yourself for it & praying for forgiveness and she was wiser than everyone on this website. God bless.
#i think of applying the bisexual label to myself & the prospect of sex with men becomes very uninteresting.#i gain no political benefits from doing this and neither does anyone else. and thank god for that#can't imagine anything drier than politically advantageous sex like hello#i genuinely get off to straight men leering at me so long as they know im a lesbian & they're doing it against my will

#◜✧ . ❪ muse. soma date. ❫#orient spoilers /#I don't think I'll ever get over Soma thinking only the highest of yellow blade bushi while disliking his own red color...#and the part that gets me the most is how Naoe was in the same situation; but unlike Soma (and Seiroku) Naoe received support#and wasn't allowed to fall down the hell hole by being all on his lonesome. He had Tatsuomi and Kuroko to back and build him up#Neither Soma NOR Seiroku had anyone else to rely on. If anything they both had people to rely on THEM wo realizing how harsh that burden is#I do think it's very interesting how they had different approaches tho. Seiroku tried to bond with his allies; Soma withdrew into himself#They both had to sacrifice so much of themselves for others; and Soma still does it for his band even if it means killing his friends#which also means he's (obviously) taken great care of Seiroku during his stay at the date. As a yellow blade AND a 'new Date member'#I can't believe Brit and I have been cooking THIS exquisitely a whole year before Ohtaka gave us any info to go off of#I'd never have imagined we'd get canon confirmation that Soma and Seiroku are this similar back when we first met Soma#I need to go back to projects after I finish eating but GODDD so many thoughts swirling in my brain; none uni related!!!

The first thing he noticed properly was not the sudden impossible change in location, or the unnaturally colored light drenching the mountain, or the partially reconstructed temple above his head, or the anguished screams from all around, or the feeling of utter wrongness seeping into his bones, but the streaks of red on the stone pavement. He couldn't fully figure out what they were, or why they had such a strange shape, or what were the small dark scraps near them, or from where they could have come; but something about them made his face pale and his blood freeze.
A sudden sense of vertigo struck him, and he lowered almost to his knees to keep himself steady. A sudden sense of vertigo struck him, and he lowered almost to his knees to keep himself steady. A sudden sense of vertigo struck him, and he lowered almost to his knees to keep himself steady.
Then finally he broke out of that repeating moment, and looked up. An amiable smile greeted him before the shattering sky.
"Good morning, Warden Ingo," it said with a powerful, gentle voice that cracked the ground somewhere far, too far away.
It didn't sound nearly as human as it should have been.
It was morning, or at least it had been when the smile had spoken. Now rains of five months past were falling backwards out of the earth and into red clouds, and it was at once evening and dawn together, and night and dusk and afternoon all stuck in a gruesome thing that gave him a headache.
In horrid confusion he found himself unsure of where he was.
His only landmark in the all consuming spiraling were the red streaks of red on the stone pavement.
"Let me apologize," the powerful, gentle voice said. The amiable smile from which it came curled in a wide curve, dulcet in shape yet sharp enough to almost sever his head right there and then. "Your presence here was a mistake. An honest accident."
The grey eye looked at him with pity.
A black hole was emerging. He could see it everywhere at once, larger and smaller, in different moments of its growth: one second it had already swallowed him, the next it was a microscopic speck, the next it was a serpentine beast coiling around what should have once been a human body.
The serpentine beast looked at him with burning eyes, as red as the streaks of red on the stone pavement.
It dawned on him, in a constantly repeating minute, what those streaks were; and in the constantly repeating minute, he cried, or screamed, or froze, or puked, or trembled, or asked why.
The grey eye remained blind and deaf to his anguish.
"Unfortunately, we have not had the means to fix this until now," the powerful, gentle voice said as it rolled out of the amiable smile.
Something was wrong.
Down to the atoms that composed his body, he felt it.
Something was wrong.
Down to the atoms that composed his body, he felt it.
Something was wrong.
The serpentine beast opened its rotting wings wider, blood red bones peaking through the dark lunging slowly towards him.
"Be not afraid," said the powerful, gentle voice as the grey eye looked at him and gifted him an amiable smile so sharp it cut him in half. "Our plan always meant to help you, too, in the end. You won't even notice this unfairness took place."
He watched, feeling his limbs be torn apart at the joints painlessly, like a ragdoll methodically pulled until its seams rip, a hand lay graceful and calm on what should have been a human chest.
The grey eye looked at him without seeing, triumphant, with an amiable smile and a powerful, gentle voice drowning the very world it was collapsing within itself in the way a misguided parent drowns their child in a wine bath, spurred by teachings of a false prophet.
"I am a very just god, after all."
"You good?"
He blinked.
Then he blinked again.
He turned: "Huh?"
His brother looked at him blankly, maybe a little concerned. The station buzzed outside the door.
"You stood up," his brother said. "Blacked out for a bit. Are you ok?"
"Ah." he replied, and tilted a bit when he went to touch his forehead: "I think I might have had a dizzy spell, a moment of vertigo."
"Do you want some water?"
"No, it's nothing to worry about. Give me just a moment."
He sat back down, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his eyes shut for a few seconds.
Then he stood back up.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes, I feel much better already. Let's go now - better to avoid delays."
He closed the door behind himself.
