Love is blind
Antonio x Bassanio oneshot(by a very frustrated literature student who is v v tired)
A/n:- I don't know if you've noticed but I have no idea how to actually post a fic on tumblr, but I tried.@vaguely-tricksy here you go!
Antonio did not know why he was sad
That ache he felt in his chest sometimes was now a feeling that he had grown accustomed to, that deep longing for something he couldn't name but desperately longed for. But it was never physical this pain, it emanated from somewhere deep inside of him, a part of his heart telling him something in a language he did not understand.
When Salanio first implied that he might be in love, Antonio had scoffed. Love, he'd thought assuredly, was not something that was not meant for him. As a young child Antonio had dreamed of it of course, as any child does. Finding a beautiful wife that he loved and settling down in a quaint little house near the Grand Canal, just him, her and a little mini them that he would love with all his heart. But then his father died and the responsibility of looking after the family fell to him. He'd toiled and struggled to provide stability for his family, worked hard to get to the place he is now. But even after he had become one of the most esteemed merchants of Venice, Antonio did not contemplate love. He had his trading business to look after, a family would be too much affort at this age. Besides who even needed love when he had money and friendships that he would sacrifice anything for.
Now, standing in Belmont in Portia's majestic palace, Antonio looks around at his lovelorn friends and their lovely spouses and smiles warmly. Just because he didn't believe in love for himself, didn't mean he doesn't believe in love at all. He watches the happy couples around him; Jessica and Lorenzo, jubilant after finally being able to be together without hindrance from Shylock, Gratiano and Nerissa, the latter of which helped the Venician control his wayward tongue and rude comments and lastly at Portia and Bassanio, where he lets his eyes linger
Bassanio looked....happy. Truly, wonderfully happy with the woman he loved, and his heart grew warm at how merry he looked. The merchant had always loved it when Bassanio looked like that; his green eyes alight with joy, carefree and with a smile that could rival the sun with how bright it was. He would do anything to keep that expression on his dearest friend's face. But then he felt the ache in his chest creep up again, wrapping its tendrils around him at the way Bassanio looked at Portia like she was his whole world. It was always him, Antonio remembered, that made Bassanio smile like that. And then suddenly, all at once, something in him clicked.
Antonio knew Bassanio would not be able to repay the loans he gave him, he knew that Bassanio was reckless with his money and liked to live more lavishly than he could afford to and he knew that if he continued to give him loans he would eventually run into some trouble. But he still did. Because it was Bassanio and Antonio would find a way to steal the moon from the night sky, uncaring of it's consequences, if he desperately wanted it. He would give him anything he wanted, even if it meant accepting a grant from his greatest rival.
When the news of his imminent execution reached Antonio, he did not think of writing to one of the many lawyers he knew; he did not bother calling his friends in high society or begging Shylock to show him mercy. No, instead he wrote to Bassanio to come home to Venice. Because if he was going to die, he wished to do so after seeing his closest companion one last time. He wished to leave this world, knowing Bassanio would be alright and he wished to take the memories of those last moments with him when he finally departed from this world.
Antonio could feel his breathing quicken as realization rushed through him, as he figured out why all his life he'd always strived towards his best friend's well being. He felt his pulse thrum and his heart pound in his ears as he finally came to an understanding as to why that perfect picture of a family he'd had in his childhood didn't suit his fancy anymore. Because now when he thought of happiness he didn't think of an unnamed beautiful woman who would smile up at him with love in her eyes. Now he thought of Bassanio.
The heart of the famed merchant of Venice could not belong to any woman, for it had already been stolen by the man Antonio called his soulmate.
Antonio now knew why he was so sad, and he was starting to wish he really didn't.
I fr need help if this is what I've been doing in my past time. Which I have so. Pls suggest a therapist. Also took some creative liberties with Antonio's past(forgive me Shakespeare).

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.
#i love reading your examples! however next person to be like um actually this exists?? it’s on sight#i know it exists. i think it’s fun. that’s why i think more people should do it.#sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul#and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd.#i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist!#something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content#idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently#mine

They need to invent more fake celebrities like Hatsune Miku and Gorillaz and the Muppets because it's genuinely the most sustainable way to maintain a parasocial relationship with the entertainer class.

I need non autistic people to realise meltdowns are a real debilitating thing that has a serious effect on your mental and physical health NOWWWWW!!! The way its been trivialized and lessened pisses me the fuck off. It's not a tantrum and it doesn't come from "being too weak-willed" it's painful and it's embarrassing AND MOST OF ALL IT'S INVOLUNTARY!! Don't claim to be an ally to autistic or disabled people and then make fun of people who have meltdowns. Literally get the hell out of my sight
#i can't believe i have to day it but autism /is/ a disablity. its disabling. meltdowns are part of that.#'oh this is a lukewarm take' you dumbshit fucks have been throwing the word neurodivergent and meltdown around so#casually they have both been said at me with the same disdain as a swear word. you guys will accept making fun of autistic people#if someone jn your circle who is 'cool' does it first. at your big ages. shut the hell up

hey since it's coming up again: no it's not a good thing that the government wants to ban tiktok. no you should not be glad that the government might ban tiktok. no you should not respond to this with "good riddance" or "hurry up I hate that app". I should not have to explain this to you but the government banning a social media app is still a bad thing even if you don't like the UI or booktok or having to say "unalive" or how you think it's killing the very notion of attention spans. It's still bad. It's bad.
#the amount of times ive seen people be happy they're trying to ban it as if its not blatant censorship is like...#hey did you know that we have these things called brain cells? might be fun for you to try using them#mine#tiktok#tiktok ban#us politics

The people against bows becoming a trendy fashion accessory has annoyed me sooo much lately. Saw a tiktok that was like “if you get uncomfortable with us saying wearing bows infantilizes women and supports the patriarchy, it just means you’re uncomfortable with us pointing out you’ve been engaging in a harmful trend/behavior 😌” aaaaaAAAAAAH people online are allergic to nuance
#and their response to ‘just let people have fun’#was just ‘you don’t want to think critically about this to avoiding facing the truth’#it’s so weird how tiktok KNOWS which opinions will get on my nerves

also worth noting that "abusive" doesn't actually mean "irredeemable" either.
there's a lot of people that have done things in the past that were bad, because they weren't taught any better, or they were in an overall toxic situation where EVERYONE was shitty (like a cult), or they were just at an especially low point and hurt others for it.
you don't have to forgive them. you don't have to ever speak to them again. you can be angry with them until you die if you want.
but society cannot function if we don't allow them to move on. to change their behavior and fuck off somewhere else and build meaningful relationships without bothering you again. we need a path for people to change, or nothing ever will.
#like re: the last post#npd SHOULDNT mean 'youre an abusive person'#but also people who have abused people in the past can still become better people in the present#you know?#and as i metioned vaguely in that post. the way we currently treat people with NPD probably CAUSES THEM to lash out at and abuse others#if u abuse someone they lash back out at you and suddenly theres fun mutual abuse happening#so they need a way out of that cycle

(context: the person in the video is in the midst of making pilgrimage to Lhasa. The tradition is called kechangtou/磕长头 (ཕྱག་འཚལ/chak tsal; "head ceremony") Tibetan Buddhists will travel on foot from wherever they live to Lhasa, prostrating every three steps along the way. To aid in this, people making the pilgrimage will wear wooden blocks on their hands and (often leather) aprons over their clothes, which they will change or mend when the items get worn out. The person in the video is traveling with a friend. According to his account, he started his journey near the end of November 2023 and is nearly 90 days in.)
English added by me :)

before october 7th this blog was a meme page btw.
#don't you think it's so odd how so many palestinians on tumblr were just minding their own business and having fun#and all of a sudden the genocide started and we started dedicating all our time#to helping and start educating people#only for people to start questioning us and harassing us in the most parasocial ways#and now about half of us are deciding not to share about our personal lives or our interests anymore#because we can't be granted the opportunity to actually have personalities outside of our suffering.#a look into our personal lives is a privilege and all of you abused it#all of this is due to the fact that none of you consider us as actual human beings#even if you're “allies” to the palestinian cause. you still dehumanize us to hell and back#i wish you all could see me as someone who is just like you.

hey btw if you're in the USA at 2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.
if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.
additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.
i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."
"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.
#watching ppl go from being like ''support neurodivergent ppl~~!"#to being like ''if this is going to give u a panic attack ur fuckken stupid''#like..... gets me#yeah man. i know im going to be triggered by it . in the old fashioned term. it is GOING to give me a panic attack. it's pretty much certai#and i shouldn't have to tell u about what i have survived for you to be okay with that.#you can just trust that i ALSO don't want me to react to it. i'm not gonna be having a FUN time.#dismissing that bc you think it's stupid.... like is the whole problem.#these sounds are workshopped by entire teams of people to get you to pay attention and move quickly.#they arent meant to be fun and exciting.#OBVIOUSLY it's gonna set ppl off.#but yeah there's something so fuckken demeaning about ppl being like. well that trigger isn't valid bc u haven't undergone X#dude i have ptsd bc i was abused as a child. like plain and simple. the fact im 30 and afraid of the dark tells you how bad it was.#i shouldn't have to ask u for permission to be mentally ill.#the reason it's a fucking disorder and not a fucking choice is that I DO NOT CONTROL IT.#like how is it any different from when ppl are like ''oh public speaking isn't that scary'' like FOR YOU#for YOU this isn't scary. now if i could fucking eat my own amygdala...
