final fantasy crisis core is SO CLOSE to my heart that when it was released i got the limited edition bundle AND WHEN I LEARNT OF ITS EXISTENCE i splurged on the 10th anniversary limited edition psp AND NOW i am actually considering buying the reunion edition on my switch for $115

people are saying he « led her on » because he did. the fact that he kissed her in the first episode set the tone for the rest of the season and if you can’t perceive the flirting I’m sorry but how?? he didn’t make anything clear he sent the craziest mixed signals in the world. there’s nothing revolutionary about claiming that Martha was being pushy toward someone who was clearly not interested it’s 1) weird to claim in what it suggests about her 2) factually not true.

I wasn’t gonna respond to this at first because the top half of this ask is pretty much just individual interpretation and I don’t really care about it. Like, no, to me, the Doctor doesn’t seem especially flirty towards Martha. He’s just sort of Like That. That’s his damage, you know, Mr. I need to traumadump on anyone who tolerates being around me for more than five minutes. Mr. If I don’t develop an intensely codependent emotional bond with the companion I have currently I’ll die. It doesn’t read to me as him trying to lead her on because that bit’s honest, and he does it with damn near every companion he’s ever had.

And if nothing else, because we do see Ten when he tries to flirt intentionally and he’s a fuckin dork about it. Kind of guy who looked up romance in the dictionary and took notes. Kinda guy who draws diagrams to maximize kissing potential. It would have been obvious even to me (<- romance-blind as all fuck) if he was flirting with Martha on purpose because he’s not smooth at all; he flirts like he’s gotten lines in a play and he’s super excited to be the main star.

But anyway, as I was saying, that’s just how I see it. And if you see it different, no skin off my back, I just disagree.

But I take umbrage with you putting words in my mouth. I never said Martha was pushy towards him. Because yeah, she’s not. If I implied that she was, then it was a result of poor phrasing on my part. Martha’s not at fault for what she feels, for wanting there to come something of it. No more at fault than the Doctor is for not returning those feelings. It’s a bit weird that you’re assuming that I think one of them has to be the bad guy here when that was the opposite of what I was saying. My point was: When it comes to their romantic subtext of their relationship, it’s weird to pretend like either of them are to blame for them not being in a relationship at the end of s3, and even weirder to assert that as part of why Martha supposedly wouldn’t like the Doctor afterwards when they’re. friends. they continue to be friends into s4.

Martha’s not pushy. She has a crush on her friend. It happens. He doesn’t return it. This also happens. Both of these facts are pushed to the extreme because he’s a time-traveling alien with poor emotional skills and she’s put herself in the position of needing to help him from minute one of meeting each other. That’s why it’s fun to watch, because the Doctor is both so open and so unavailable in turns, because Martha’s feelings for him grow and change as she knows more about her Doctor until she decides to step back.

I don’t know, man. You seem to be coming at this as if one of them has to be The Problem™️. I don’t think either of them is, not so definitively. I think boiling their relationship down to that is reductive and an insult to the way they both grow over s3, to Martha’s choice to continue to be his friend while also establishing her own boundaries, to the fact that the Doctor is able to let her go without immediately trying to kill himself afterwards when she’s not there to catch him.

Merrill went in to see the doctor today and he said everything looks great. She has some normal old cat things like cataracts and a number of skin tags but nothing to be worried about.

I want to do another fundraiser for Safe Harbor Humane Society, this time in honor of Merrill. If you would like to and have the means to please feel free to throw some money into the fund! Last time we raised $155

2023 is almost over and, oh my goodness--

Well, how about that new book huh?

Thinking of writing short stories from Gortash's perspective of my Durge before they were attacked by Orin. Right now I've got a very jealous Enver Gortash seething over Tamasvi secretly meeting up with with a mysterious Fae and not knowing why bouncing around my head, and his perspective on his first experience of watching her performance in a red room.

Maybe some snippets of relationships with the rest of the party during the game too since they don't feature too heavily in 10k Deaths for Bhaal? I've got so many ideas and no time to write them all at the moment.

I'm enjoying writing long form post-canon but it feels SO slow compared to what's going on in my head, its been like 7 chapters and I feel like nothing but set up is happening still.

Is anyone else freaking out about the new Book of Bill?? Like omg I’m so excited to have new Gravity Falls content!

every day is a normal day until I am reminded of the utter look of shock on Subaru’s face when he realizes that the story he had told himself over the last, what? 9 years? was not necessarily entirely true...

“I tried to kill you from the bottom of my heart. I tried to live erasing your existence from my mind. But I couldn’t. Even if you thought I was just a stone, even if it didn’t feel like stepping on a withered branch... and still. That’s why I wanted to be killed by you.”

it’s a nice reminder that the stories that we tell ourselves to make meaning about what happens to us aren’t always necessarily the absolute truth, but a limited version of reality based on our own mental biases.

ok yeah... whoa. the seisub feels have attacked me and I feel victimized.

Clara (belongs to both @angus-dark and me) has a habit of either quietly staring at Dipper or saying really unhinged stuff. Something like "I wonder what your soul looks like separated from your body" which mildly concerns Dipper- you can only wonder where she has that from!

Also yes, Bill is raising a sweet little hellspawn and is surprisingly good at it

Best feeling in the world: getting a huge burst of inspiration for a fic that encompasses the entire fic so clearly you know exactly what to write.

Worst feeling in the world: the above hits you at work and you have hours to go before you can do the writing.

**pterodactyl screeches**

i love that cody's harem of men defended him against the rock and roman. i know his bussy tight af!

Ah. Great. A family emergency. It's not like I already had several dozen other things to worry about. And exactly a week before my birthday, to boot!

im 24 now. how wild. im gonna have to grow up soon :< waaa

spent weeks psyching myself up to stand up to my mum and then immediately got shot down by her 😃👍

happy birthday miss egbert

does the reception of the fest and the increased flow of creative output make you feel like you would want to stay? does it make you rethink what you call your imminent exit? just sad thinking that we will lose someone with your passion and drive and dedication 😞

ahh well unfortunately it’s not really by choice 😔 i start law school in a couple weeks and i’m kinda piloting blind, yknow? in a whole new city studying material in my second language and i don’t really know anyone or have many connections in the field… so i’m rlly gonna try and dedicate myself to Being A Good Student and Networking and Being Normal, which means my time for Being A Seb Stan will probably diminish to almost nothing ): already even just with the move i haven’t been able to sit and work on creative projects and i’m so emo over it, it’s probably unhealthy..

idk, i know people have been able to manage a school-work-social balance and i may be good enough to do that at some point? but ugh atm this is the biggest opportunity of my life and i really don’t want to fuck it up by prioritizing things that aren’t as important ahhh 😭

called two different hospitals about a bill that really shouldn't have ended up with me, emailed disability services to ask about the current state of my case, and in the process of sorting out paperwork for taxes also ended up emailing my employer about the level of my retirement fund

many things have been done and i am proud of myself
