Look, maybe if I had read it by itself and not interleaved with the other books im reading atm it would have fared better, but y'all had me convinced The Secret History was some modern classic and I will not forgive you for it

#i know babel was published long afterwards but i just keep reading sections and thinking “Babel did this so much better”#its giving Catcher in the Rye if the pov character was even more insufferable #its giving the Steven Moffat school of writing intelligent characters #and honestly worse than the piss-poor attempt at some kind of commentary is that its so fucking BORING #a solid 70% of the book is just richard & the gang talking inanely about classics with the air of people who have literally never read them #and the other 30% is stilted dialogue about how woefully difficult it is to cover up the murders they did #and i understand that their insufferability is part of the loosely-defined point but thats not made well enough to justify all this #your characters can be boring assholes or your plot can move at a snail's pace but for the love of all the gods dont do both #the only thing running through my head the whole time is how little investment i have in anything thats happening in this stupid book #how did *this* become the inciting incident for the dark academia aesthetic/subculture??#how did this jumble of meandering run-on sentences masquerading as a novel become such a Tumblr darling that dozens of you recommended it??#i feel cheated tbh #cant believe i wasted so much time on this but i genuinely believed it must get good at some point

After watching Grian and Mumbo's failed negotiation over the prismarine permit, I think it'd be really funny if instead of actually trading permits they just became the wholesaler for the other's shop.

Ah yes this is Grian's iron and gold shop which sells iron and gold bought in bulk exclusively from Mumbo's farms. Still Grian's shop though! And that over there is Mumbo's prismarine shop, where he sells products bought from Grian and also let Grian decorate with the 5000 cod heads he doesn't want to talk about

#honestly I think it'd be entertaining if any of the hermits did that #Reject making a shop embrace being a wholesaler #I feel like that's right on the edge of whether it'd be a loophole or a cheat lol #I have a feeling in their next episodes they'll just end up coming to an agreement for a trade tbh but still #grian #mumbo jumbo #hermitcraft #hermitcraft season 10 #lee speaks

Getting back on my Zack Is Canonically Polyamorous soapbox because the people need to know and also the number of people accusing Aerith of being unfaithful in Rebirth is absolutely fucking ridiculous when taking Zack's romantic escapades into account.

There are spoilers here, and I'm tagging accordingly, but I'm not putting it under a cut.

We know for a fact that Zack is in a relationship with Aerith. We've known this since the OG, although we didn't know most of the details back then, just that they were together. In Remake, Aerith describes Zack as her "first love." In Chapter 11 of Rebirth, the first memories of Zack that Cloud reclaims are of him talking about how great Aerith is, and Cloud describes him as being "head over heels" for her. In Chapter 8, we found out that Zack's parents were able to recognize her based entirely on Zack gushing about her when he wrote home—and this is one of the most important parts, honestly.

Zack has a thing with Cissnei. We don't know how deep it is, but throughout Crisis Core (and even in the summer event in Ever Crisis) we can see very clearly that there is something between them, and it's never treated like a big deal. She's never completely honest about her feelings, so we can assume he didn't know that she saw him as anything more than a casual thing, but they have a relationship. It's made explicitly clear that this is the case when Zack returns to Gongaga and she lets him know that she's spoken to his parents, and he warns her that they're basically going to suggest that she marry him.

Zack's parents know about his relationship with Aerith and they also apparently know enough about his relationship with Cissnei to suggest that she make that relationship "official." They want her to join the family. They asked, she apparently reciprocated, and she lives in Gongaga after Veld is "killed."

Cissnei is also aware that Zack is in a relationship with Aerith, but that doesn't stop her from pursuing him anyway. She gets it and she's okay with it. She never, at any point, tries to push him away from Aerith—she's the one that tells him how special Aerith is, how important, how lonely. She's supportive of his relationship, and doesn't seem to feel that it makes her own feelings or their relationship any less valid.

Okay, so that's proof that the people around him are, at the very least, okay with him having multiple partners. That doesn't necessarily mean he's poly, though, maybe he's just a womanizer and everyone accepts it. Weird, but possible. He's really endearing so maybe they all give him a pass.

But no! No this isn't it at all! And we know it because of how Zack responds to Aerith being in love with someone else in Rebirth. When he finds out that Aerith is has feelings for Cloud, there's not a hint of jealousy in a single thing he does or says. He's disappointed when Marlene says it's because he wasn't there, but it's not disappointment in Aerith or in Cloud—it's disappointment in himself, because Marlene is right. He wasn't there. He couldn't protect her. There's also no spite there, he never responds like her feelings are wrong because he's here now and that means Aerith can rely on him again, and we know that because of how he responds to this information.

Zack finds out that Aerith has feelings for Cloud, and his immediate mission is to make sure that Cloud recovers as quickly as possible. Now it's not just for him, it's not just because that's his friend, it's because Aerith loves him (too) and that means he has to save Cloud for both of them.

He's fully supportive of Aerith and Cloud having a relationship, to the point that the last thing he says to Cloud when he gets thrown into a dying timeline is a request that he take care of Aerith. He's not exactly passing the torch here, because he's still alive—but he doesn't know if he'll be able to meet back up with a version of Cloud that is awake again, and he needs Cloud to know that he supports them in this.

And then, in the dying timeline where Zack is banished after fighting Sephiroth, he has the ability to synergize with Cloud from across the multiverse. The DMW limit break connected to Aerith is active in the space. All three of them are together here, just not physically; Cloud and Aerith are protecting Zack as much as Zack has been struggling to protect them.

Zack loves that Aerith loves someone other than him because that's how he is too. Zack has multiple relationships at the same time, he loves multiple people at the same time, he has emotionally intimate connections with multiple people at the same time. Why would he take issue with the love of his life feeling the same way?

Cloud isn't his replacement any more than Cissnei and Aerith are interchangeable, and Zack understands that, because Zack is polyamorous—and he's really happy that Aerith may be, too.

Mirrorman Episode 13 (1972) / Chojyuu Sentai Liveman ED - Ashita Ni Ikiru Ze! (1988) / Kamen Rider Black Episode 50 (1988) / Kamen Rider Fourze Episode 2 (2011)

To fight for this world means to love it.

#common sayings #this is unrelated to my other post about web weaving tbh #did i put too many flowers in the kamen rider black section? yes. would i change it? absolutely not #there was just something about 1988 and toei studios writing about heroes fighting people they had once loved and who were (voluntarily or #involuntarily) throwing away their humanity #i am always the first to bring up the mirrorman episode but i do feel like i cheating a little with it because Kyotaro got blinded in that #episode and his vision was healed by the end of it which is why he is appreciating the sky #though i guess its still a toku hero loving nature which counts for the purposes of this photoset #long #long post

what d&d class is your oc?

tagged for this uquiz by the lovely @jillvalentinesday, @cassietrn, @inafieldofdaisies, @voidika, @josephseedismyfather, @direwombat, @poisonedtruth, and @theelderhazelnut, thank you all <3

Ranger

You are a Ranger, an explorer of dangerous territories. You are fearless and cunning, traits necessary on your travels, but you tend to be closed off from others and overly pragmatic. Your connection with nature and skill with weaponry will carry you through most battles, and your sneakiness will let you avoid the ones it will not.

There isn't any other class that suits her. She's not got the magic for druid, but her fighting style keeps her out of direct warrior/barbarian types. Archery and nature, exploration and knowing the lay of the land, and using it to advantage? That's Micah. She's at home alone in the woods, but with party members she's off her footing, unsure how to interact or engage. Trusts comes hard for her, but a fearless ability to throw herself into danger? Yeah, she's got that in spades.

Rogue

You are a Rogue, a skilled adventurer who uses guile and expertise to your advantage. You are often seen as stealthy and precise, aiming for your opponent's weakest points, but you can master various other skills to aid you on your journey. While you tend to be underhanded and greedy, you can also be daring, clever, insightful and charismatic.

Sneaky. Underhanded. Guile. Charm. Greed. Loose Morals. What else could Lil ever be but rogue?

Artificer

You are an Artificer, an adventurer who wields science in place of magic. While your foremost trait is intelligence, you're built tougher than most others who place their faith in their brains. You are inventive, curious and occasionally reckless, all traits that get you both into and out of trouble on your adventure.

I admit it, I took the quiz for her a few times until it returned the right result. Intellect and knowledge, melding science and magic, those are Bright's Things. No matter how much the quiz kept trying to make her a traditional magic user, she's just not. She's extremely reckless, but it's not out of malice or a drive for power; it's simple curiosity. And a love of shiny things. She's clever but not wise; she's quick but not strong or nimble.

Paladin

You are a Paladin, a warrior sworn to an Oath, whether it be to a god, a king, an ideology or oneself. As a divine soldier, you are well equipped to strike down evil, but must follow a code of your choosing to retain this power. While you are limited somewhat by these bonds, you are also the most driven and determined member of your group.

tbh i've never considered what would suit Lore, but honestly? yeah, she's very driven for good, for what she sees as moral and right, for the betterment of the people, though i don't know if she could be defined as a soldier or warrior. she's about practicality and function over form or style, but she'd balk at the idea of serving a god or a king. her goal is always to help people, especially those who have no voice and no power. she fights hard, but she prefers diplomacy and compromise whenever possible, to save as many lives as she can. she's one of my purest, most good characters.

i realize i'm kinda late on this one, but i'm passing on tags, anyway. (feel free to ignore me<3) @henbased, @adelaidedrubman, @v0idbuggy, @legally-a-bastard, @damejudyhench, @mars-colony, @strafethesesinners, @thisisrigged4, @mediocre-life-span, @harmonyowl, @marivenah, @socially-awkward-skeleton, @florbelles, @trench-rot, @wrathfulrook, @simplegenius042, @incognito-insomniac, @gayafsatan, @shallow-gravy, @turbo-virgins, @chazz-anova, @confidentandgood, @aceghosts, @jacobseed, @vampireninjabunnies-blog, @fourlittleseedlings, @clonesupport, @unholymilf, and anyone else who wants to do this, please say i tagged you <3

#micah hale #lilith mallory #bright #lore jameson #dnd quiz tag game #i was gonna do a few others but i feel bad how long my posts get #and i'm never sure if i'm tagging the right people or just being annoying #but anyway yeah i maybe cheated a little to get results that fit for a few of them right #tho micah and lore are the first results they both got #i blame my lack of dnd knowledge on how wrong i was getting answers tbh #rambling in the tags because i'm nervous af about posting this #so this is how i procrastinate wheee #also i may even participate in wip wed today i know that's a big shock lol but i've got writing happening again #just so scared to share #yep i am procrastinating in tags whoops

i feel like we need a knk slice of life spinoff thing. the doomed yaoi storyline we have rn is good and all, but tbh i wanna see all my favorite goobers just hanging out and doing normal people things. i think thatd just be nice honestly

#kiwi is eveposting...#kara no kioku #i feel like having something like that would be a refreshing change of pace compared to the constant peril of the main storyline tbh #and i wanna see more of the characters and get to know them better !!#like 90% of the cast never really gets their chance to like... have any sort of personality imo #even rei gets cheated out of this tbh. i cant even really describe rei as a person because hes just A Guy Who Is Suffering #< same thing with nagi and yukito tbh #but its even worse for rei because like. hes the protagonist and yet hes sadly not that memorable or unique #anyway sorry for the rant in the tags here... that was not intentional TTOTT

I had to read a study about this in college. And I'm so curious cause it was split up male and female, and I have the male answer. Also please tell me why.

#I think being cheated on sexually is worse tbh and it's more of an internal thing for me #like you cannot make me feel unlovable #and I feel like I'd understand an emotional affair more #id take it less personal I think

can i be real for a second. nobody throw rocks at me for this but as funny as buck and eddie hooking up at the bachelor party while drunk would be i honestly hope it doesn’t happen

#i don’t think it will tbh. but i am a little worried lol #because like for one thing eddie is NOT ready to deal w that right now lol. he can barely conceptualize that buck is attracted to men #no way is he ready to face his own feelings for him and if they do give this arc to us i want it to be done well. bc i think coming to terms #with being attracted to men himself would be hard and complicated for him bc of the. everything about him #and i feel like hooking up w his best friend while drunk would be real difficult for him to cope with lol #also tommy! i don’t want him to get cheated on and when he and buck inevitably break up i really want it to be amicable #bc buck has never really had that before #also also if they do make buddie canon i just don’t want it to be like. in a joking manner. personally
