Why is it offensive to so many SNS fans to even consider that Gaara and Naruto would make a good couple? IF (one BIG if) there was a scenario where Sasuke had died in the end and Naruto hadn't, which would never be at Naruto's hands btw but then so many others wanted Sasuke gone, would you not want to see Naruto have some comfort? Who would have given it to him? Who would be capable of it? Sakura? HINATA??? Kakashi? Sai? All of these are emotionally inept ass people.
Gaara is perhaps only second to Sasuke in Naruto's eyes, in terms of connection and mutual empathy. Gaara is the only other character to get a retrieval arc where Naruto is the pursuer. Gaara is the only other person Naruto goes absolutely feral for, and no, Hinata in Pein arc doesn't count. Totally different contexts. Gaara is the only other person than Sasuke that Naruto shows a deep personal connection with. Gaara after all was also a jinchuuriki, who shared similar and perhaps even worse predicament than Naruto, as Naruto himself acknowledged.
Naruto and Gaara share a mutual understanding. They care for each other deeply. And God forbid, if something had happened to Sasuke, I would certainly want Gaara to be with Naruto and knowing Gaara, he would be there, no matter what. If Naruto were on Mars, Gaara would find a way to be there for him. Gaara loves Naruto, he understands Naruto, and Sasuke as well to quite an extent. Naruto also is aware of Gaara in part two, even though it's Sasuke whom he loves. But there is certainly a mutual fascination and attraction between them, a certain awareness, kindredness. So if Naruto ended up with Gaara after it all, I would not resent that ending. I would be pleased to see that Naruto at least, finally gets some love and affection after starving for it for so long. As in when Sasuke wasn't there. And who better than Gaara to give it? Gaara is the only person who would even stand a chance to be able to comfort Naruto in case of Sasuke's demise. Nothing would make Gaara happier than making Naruto happy. He would make it his life's mission.
Naruto chose Sasuke over everyone, including Gaara, so there's no doubt that Sasuke is Naruto's priority over everyone. But damn, I just want to see my boy happy. Gaara won't make him happy the way Sasuke does. Naruto wouldn't even want to live if Sasuke was gone. But Gaara is quite the lover in his own right. And he loves Naruto, truly. He knows the deprivation of love, just like Sasuke and Naruto, he knows how it feels to be at the receiving end of people's hate and indifference. And he learnt what it meant to be cared for and valued because of Naruto. The same thing Sasuke did for Naruto. He gave up his life for Naruto in waves arc which in turn made Naruto realize how deeply he felt for Sasuke all along and how much it meant to him to be valued in such a way by another person. That this is what it means to be family. Gaara had a change of heart because Naruto showed him that he was valued and understood. That he wasn't alone anymore. Naruto hurt for Gaara too. So much. Naruto is passionate about Gaara. He shed tears for him, he wailed and screamed and raged and turned into a beast for him. Gaara is a very well written character and he has a well developed, actually quite beautiful relationship with Naruto. Their relationship and its development gets a lot of visibility in the manga as well.
I also recognise the fact that if it were actually possible to make Naruto end up with Gaara, Naruto would have definitely ended up with Sasuke. Heh. But that's not the point I am making. I don't actively ship Gaara with Naruto. But seeing them together makes me happy and fact is, them ending with each other would be a thousand times better than what we have now.

Cub didn't care that his clothes were getting increasingly covered in dyes. That was to be expected. He had so much testing to do of the fireworks his factory created, to make sure he was only selling his best quality work. Did some occasionally explode in his face and shower him with dye? Sure! Came with the territory. It's why he'd figured out how to enchant his glasses with mending, so they didn't break completely when a firework went off too close to him. They didn't break anymore.
He couldn't really smell anything else these days except for gunpowder, flowers, and redstone. Did that matter? Not really. It was too much fun to play around with explosive fireworks. It was all he thought about. All he dreamed about.
So of course he didn't notice that that small patch of cyan dye on the back of his lab coat wasn't just cyan dye mixed with a little black. He didn't notice the little shimmers of light, the places where it was clear that it wasn't dye but skulk. Cub had other things on his mind. he wasn't thinking about skulk.
But of course he was always thinking about skulk. It had never really left him, just gone dormant, waiting for the right moment to reappear. He'd felt it in his bones towards the end of last season, as he was tending to the museum. Was he afraid of it? Maybe a little, in the same way he was a little afraid of the Vex when They decided to possess him. It never stopped him going to ancient cities though.
That said, it had felt strange to be in the deep dark on a new world. The skulk felt both familiar and not. It had been like that when they'd visited the Emperors too. The skulk there was particularly vicious and possessive in a way it hadn't been on other worlds. Perhaps it's why he was possessed. He was stupid enough to go into the fog and get himself possessed.
But the skulk back on Hermitcraft was...
Cub didn't really know how to describe it. It had still sunk its tendrils into his brain, he had willingly obeyed it when it had need of him, but it lacked something. And the skulk on this new world was... pensive. Curious. It clearly recognised the dormant skulk within him, but didn't know why it was there.
Cub sensed it when he touched the skulk, walked over it slowly, hoping not to disturb the place. He knew how sacred this place was to the skulk. How he shouldn't disturb the Mourner. He understood now. He knew now. Wordless memories, pictures of ancient times that Cub couldn't really interpret properly, floated into his mind. The time before. The time before there was mourning and sadness and a need to isolate. A time when there was light, and life.
Whenever Cub found himself down in the deep dark, he always wanted to sink his fingers into the skulk, making contact, even if the skulk didn't seem to care about possessing him this time. It seemed to think him... not tainted. Sacred? Chosen to host the skulk and give it a body? Cub didn't quite know how to interpret the feelings.
No. It wasn't quite that. It was more... a feeling of kindredness. Was that even a word? Cub didn't know. He just knew the skulk didn't seem to see him as an enemy. As long as he was respectful in the deep dark, as long as he didn't awaken the Mourner, made no sound at all, he felt safe there. Which was both a familiar feeling, and also a strange one.
Sometimes, he felt he was always in the deep dark when was working in the factory. It wasn't his fault that the skulk really showed off the fireworks really nicely. It was like a substitute starry sky, but he couldn't deny that having the skulk close brought him a little comfort. It wasn't whispering to him, wasn't really doing anything other than just being there, but it was nice to have. Could he have just used black concrete? Sure. But why use black concrete when skulk was right there and available? He didn't need to craft that.
And maybe, every so often, when he was cleaning out the testing chamber, maybe his lab coat got a little more skulk stained, and maybe it was hidden just as quickly by all the dyes he was surrounded by as he got back to the work of testing fireworks and seeing just how many different combinations he could make and sell. And maybe that was for the best, somehow.

Okay but why did Morph have to do Gambit dirty like that? And what was he going to do with Wolverine's claws in the shower?
I'm SO GLAD they've kept Morph around along with all his Mister Sinister PTSD. It's like they've gone "oh hey he's gone from wisecracking cannon fodder and source of angst for other characters to actually his own fully dimensional character *and* he can still be a little shit."
He had to do Gambit like that because Gambit's an easy target, honestly.
I'm not usually one for love triangles,but I am interested in seeing how the Rogue/Gambit/Magneto dynamic plays out. I feel like Rogue has more romantic feelings towards her relationship with Magneto than Magneto does, but I think a lot of that just has to do with how touch starved she is in general and her own guilt and sense of kindredness towards Magneto because she's a former villain herself. Magneto I think is largely grieving Charles and sees a strong rapport with Rogue both because of the former villain thing and because Rogue's powers and their drawbacks kind of made her a unique project for Charles. She's kind of the embodiment of how much work Charles has left unfinished, and this lingering question of "okay how DO we help the mutants who are being screwed over by their powers 50-100% of the time?"
#just so we're clear i'm team Romy 4 Lyfe#x men 97#remember that one poor bird mutant guy with the hollow bones who broke all of his hollow bones jumping off the academy roof#that was fucked up

MC who is physically aggressive in their sleep
Wrote this on my phone, so sorry if the formatting sucks.
This one came to me because I saw this art post in which Azul gets woken up by the Tweels by an aggressive tackle, and I mused to myself "How would I handle waking up that way?"
And I remembered that I am notoriously a physically aggressive sleeper.
I'm talking, my brother once came into my room and grabbed me to wake me up, and the only thing I remember is waking up to someone touching me and opening my eyes to realize my fist was primed to punch him and my hand was gripping his shirt to hold him in place.
".. You ASKED me to wake you up??"
".. I am so sorry. You are so right. My b."
So this one goes out to my peeps who wake up swinging like they're in a bar fight.
First and foremost, characters who love to mess with people and see what makes them tick? They're gonna fuckin' love this little problem of yours. The first time you wake up swinging at them, they're going to get a thrill out of it, out of getting to see a new side of you. Bonus points if you're normally a chill person, because this is gonna make them see stars.
Responsible characters will find it off-putting and will earnestly be a little shocked at first. They'll make the connection pretty quickly that you probably had something in your life that made this a problem for you. Some environment of survival, where you weren't safe, even in your sleep. I hope you like protective people, because once a responsible character realizes this is a defense mechanism, they're gonna do everything within their power to make you feel physically safe. They might also be itching to personally kick some ass on your behalf.
Characters with a rough past might feel a certain kindredness with you. Seeing you become aggressive at being touched in your sleep would surprise them at first, but they'd instantly get it. They'd apologize, and if you tried to apologize for almost tearing their lights right out of their head, they'd probably just go "Nah, it was my bad for touching you in your sleep. Your reaction was fine." - If they weren't already hanging out with you, they definitely gravitate towards you now.
Sweet characters will probably panic. You wake up to wide eyes and cowering. When you get flustered and apologize, they just get kind of quiet and ask why you do that when touched in your sleep. Even if you tell them it's nothing serious, and that you feel more embarassed that anything, they will absolutely take it more personally. I feel like sweet characters would fall into two subsects where some would be scared/nervous around you when you're asleep - Meanwhile, others would catch on way more quickly than anyone else that it's a defense mechanism, and their anger on your behalf would be palpable.
Chill characters would laugh it off like "Haha, what the fuck my guy" but they'd probably be calculating what kinds of environments or incidents could have caused you to do that.
Your best bud type characters would scoff like "What the FUCK- CHILL" and probably reprimand you for scaring the crap out of them, but they'd also start asking a lot of questions. If you don't like answering questions, be prepared for them to tell everyone and their mother "Don't wake ___ up, they'll beat the crap outta you for it". You will never live it down, and they WILL laugh at you for it.
Calculating characters would probably be caught offguard if they woke you up and you almost punched their lights out. Temporarily shaken that they hadn't anticipated this outcome, they might need a minute before they'll re-regulate again. They will also be infinitely more interested in learning about you, since they obviously don't know enough.
Stoic characters wouldn't be phased by it, but they also would be concerned for you. Might tell the responsible characters about what you did so they can help you, if they feel like they themselves aren't equipped to help you.
Bonus;
Non-human characters wonder if this is a human trait, and have to have this idea challenged by other humans. God help whatever circumstance or people made you the "Wake up swinging" brand of fucked up, because if the non-human discovers it's a sign if trauma, they're gonna be ready to tear some heads off.

So if Bart was raised in virtual reality, and Querl was raised by robots and probably experienced most outside experiences and interactions via virtual reality, then that might be part of the reason they get along like they do. Even if neither necessarily knows that about the other, you know?
Did you know that I legit thought that perhaps because they both were born around the same time (Querl is I believe two years older), and both used VR as forms of enrichment, that maaaaaaaybe "Dox" was actually Querl but perhaps a much younger version of him who was able to interact with Bart through VR?
This of course is unlikely and "Dox" is probably just a carry-over from L.E.G.I.O.N. tech. Querl would likely remember Bart and would mention something (or not, out of maybe some self conscious embarrassment that he actually found at one time adventuring fun).
But no back to your thought. I do think that their kindredness behind being raised in a environment that was lacking physical contact doubled with the contempt each faced at varying levels in their growth (due to autism/impulsiveness) did sort of help them reach an understanding with each other. Maybe it even altered the way they communicate and because they both had the same experiences in their youth some ways of approaching things just stuck.
I sorta wish we got more of them when Querl was stranded in the 90s - he did give Bart those telepathic earplugs and he was kind to him afterwards in that arc, so thus I do think they had a lot to talk about.
I wonder what they talked about.
#querl dox#bart allen#i think about them a lot#they both have similar traits and experienced similar hostilities from their peers though querl to a greater degree#but both are deeply autistic coded#both have impulses where they just do what they want but querl thinks and develops his impulses more#both totally feral

The deeper you love, the deeper your compassion grows and the more you realize that the other suffers just as you do. When all is said and done, human civilization is ugly and cruel, and the only thing to do is to raze it to the ground, and that’s because kindredness is the one true constant between you and anyone else.

fellow jaclyn moriarty fan! hello :3
Hello! Yes! Let's talk up Jaclyn Moriarty, fellow fan! Jaclyn Moriarty is an Australian author whose sister Liane eventually got more famous on this side of the world because she writes grownup books that get made into shows and stuff, whereas Jaclyn, who HAS written a COUPLE grownup books, MOSTLY writes children's and YA and so gets ghettoized by tasteless people. 🤪 When I first discovered her, she only had the first few Ashbury High books out, which (wrongly) were being marketed as typical realistic YA, so I'd had no temptation to pick them up, until I read an interview with her on a book blog and there was an instant "THIS IS A KINDRED SPIRIT! WE ARE OBVIOUSLY BEST FRIENDS WHO HAVE NEVER MET! ALSO SHE'S FUNNY! Maybe I should actually read one of her books." So I picked up her newest at that time The Murder of Bindy McKenzie (US title--it has a bunch of different titles around the world but always about Bindy) because it had "murder" in the title and was about what today would be referred to as an "autistic-coded" girl so that would be more interesting than straight up realism, and, okay, it was like nothing I'd ever read before. It was epistolary...realism?...but off-kilter, WEIRD. It was both funny and heartbreaking, which is always a nice blend, but my biggest takeaway was just that it was DIFFERENT and I liked it. So I read her other books only to discover they were ALL like that, and also even when there was romance the primary relationship focus was friendship which was really refreshing.
Then she came out with the Colours of Madeleine books which mixed FANTASY into this off-kilter worldview so that got EVEN WEIRDER and more wonderful and just when I thought I'd figured out all the twists it'd hit me with bigger ones out of nowhere! Also they spelled my youngest child's name right! Like Madeleine L'Engle!
By this time I was following her on social media and it became clearer the kindredness was from us being ADHD and loving stories. Whoo! And that's also when I found out she was working on a MIDDLE GRADE FANTASY ADVENTURE! WITH PIRATES! And I was like take THAT me of a decade or so ago that thought our tastes in books didn't overlap! And I can read it to my kids! So I've been reading each Kingdoms and Empires book to my kids and am now trying to get my hands on the latest, but my new library has a smaller budget and I can't get away with buying books just because I want to read them quite as easily. But I do have an excuse, because I'm definitely going to read a few chapters of Bronte Mettlestone to the Summer Reading camp group this summer (the theme is Adventure! How can I not!) So I'll HAVE to make sure we have the whole series...!
Anyway, I'm convinced every last person in the Kingdoms and Empires has ADHD, or at least some sort of neurodivergence, so these stories are truly a delight to read.
Thanks for letting me go off on this topic, anon friend!

i lost my bigger post on this, but for as much as olivia loved and trusted her brother grady, there's a great deal of resentment there too. they were raised in an environment that constantly belittled the very same traits in her that grady was praised for. as a result, there's a certain level of carelessness about her brother that olivia never felt she could afford. that it's this carelessness that seems to get him killed in the end only further muddies her feelings.
this contrast in the way they're perceived and subsequently treated by others, something olivia ultimately weaponizes in adulthood by hiding behind her marriage to travis and the role of the devoted mother to evade unwanted attention, follows them into their interactions with both des and mary. and, somewhat ironically, it's this same contrast that winds up saving olivia's life. they both see a kindredness in mary, but, while grady makes it all seem romantic and even invigorating, olivia makes it all seem utterly terrifying.
#INTROSPECTION.#something something internalized misogyny and the freedom to be careless#idk there isn't a lot of time spent exploring this in the show and i don't have the words to intelligently communicate it#but there's a lot to imply that she's spent a chuuunk of her life pursuing this very specific image of power only to wind up miserable#and then along comes mary#also also i am not back. i am driving to arkansas in a few days and i'm too tired to be creative atm but liv is always on my mind

"Eddie wouldn't like this" "Eddie couldn't like blah blah blah" Look, y'all, there might not be too terribly much we know about Eddie, but let's get one thing straight: Eddie likes authenticity. He likes when people embrace who they are, or at least acknowledge/show that they’re not some picture perfect image of conformity. At least, this is what we are to assume if you read his interactions with either Chrissy or Steve as flirting.
Because what do Chrissy and Steve have in common? They’re both cliche pictures of the All-American girl and boy, the WASPy types who’d get married and have two and a half kids they plop behind a white picket fence with a dog and a cat in their two-story suburban home. But that’s just it: They’re pictures.
The reality is that Chrissy was a very sweet but troubled soul who was so desperate to battle her demons that she was willing to take drugs just to get a moment’s worth of peace. And Steve, while still a himbo, was a guy willing to fling himself in front of danger if it meant keeping others safe.
Neither of them was what Eddie thought, and he likely couldn’t help but feel a sort of kindredness in that because he was so used to feeling like he was the only one who looked one way but was actually another. And let’s be real, when you find someone like you, it’s rather easy to become attracted to them.
So it wouldn’t likely matter if they were more nonchalant about who they are (like Steve) or quietly trying to accept it (like Chrissy): The fact that they were authentic enough to reveal their real selves in all their vulnerability to him was surely a driving force for Eddie to like them.
That being said, Eddie x Cheerleader!Reader, while not everyone’s cup of tea, is valid. As is Metalhead!Reader. Or Theater Kid!Reader. Whatever. Just be authentic about it and be kind and there’s a fighting chance that you’ve checked off a box for him.
#just saying#because i'm tired of all these people just bashing cheerleader!reader fics :/#I ain't cheery myself but like...the whole thing about Eddie is that he likes trueness#eddie munson#eddie munson x reader

N.S
Kishi said so many things here. With just these visuals worth a couple of pages.
Both boys were lonely, despondent, suffering greatly, living in their own desolate world that they were pushed into, that they had no choice in. Lying down looking into nothingness, staring in the face of emptiness, feeling entirely isolated, wretched in their circumstances.
But there was one person for both of them that gave them relief, a break from their own personal hell, a slice of happiness, an oasis. Sasuke for Naruto. Naruto for Sasuke. No one else could play this role for them. Just the two of them, while they never even talked. Just looked. Peeked. And felt....better. A rare kindredness. They were comforted by it. Like a soothing balm on the lesions of pain etched by the world on their hearts. Imagine experiencing such comfort amidst acute pain and loneliness, a child's loneliness, a loneliness of the acutest kind. A bond was formed right then. Unacknowledged, unspoken until years later, but there alright. Always at the periphery of both their minds, their hearts, even though they resisted. Guiding them, inspiring them. They were always meant to be. Naruto didn't save Sasuke. They both saved each other.

Autistic people are literally raised by animals. and inanimate things. as children we imprint sort of onto both human and non human things. we imitate adults of the same gender, like most people do, but we also imitate people of different gender, we imitated dogs, cats, birds, cars, robots, chairs, computers, trees, bugs, cartoons. for lots of kids this is called ‘playing pretend’ but i think something different goes on with autistic kids – it’s more than ‘acting’, there is a sense that the thing you observe come into you and you become them, like kirby or whatever, or like you are just a mirror.
In our instincts we can be like pure mirrors, can develop parrot like abilities to recreate sounds around us, some like temple grandin can empathize with and understand the perspective of other animals in a way most people can’t.
Using animalkin senses has historically been very helpful in humans who hunted or had to manipulate and cajole or outsmart other animals in our environment. it is not uncommon in premodern prechristianized cultures to ritualistically act out being animals or having animal identities associated with people.
It is sad to see that people who do this in today’s world are often smeared with being associated to animal abusers. that is something different, like psychopathy.
Obviously a person who believes they are a non human is kind of insane. humans should know they are humans. males should know they are males and females should know they are females. adults should know they are adults and not children. it shouldn’t be considered antisocial to expect some level of it being okay to point out physical realities.
But that’s different from thinking it’s crazy for people to spiritually essentially associate themselves to those of a different category than they are, to feel kindredness. i do not think this is crazy. if something sparks joy in you and you like it and you want for yourself to be more like it, i would be very limited about what kind of things i would call disorders.
If you literally believe you have wings and can fly, then that is a problem. if you are male and you talk with a womanly kind of ‘accent’, if you are american and you spell things the british way, if you sometimes run around on all fours because you enjoy how that feels, i don’t think this is a disease. it merely means either unawareness of or lack of caring about the ways other humans engage in judgement about things by how they fit into categories.
For many people, they perceive patterns and relationships in nature and come up with categories. sometimes this goes to the point of black and white or moralizing thinking. i could say 'women tend to be nurturing and emotional' and it would be actually an accurate pattern. but if i said ‘women need to be nurturing and emotional to be good women’ that would be projecting my own pattern seeking and discomfort with things that violate the exaggerated version of pattern onto those who i pattern matched from.
People will see that humans walk on two legs and cats walk on four and conclude that the way one walks constitutes a core part of their identity. and then if a person ever walks using their hands like feet or a cat walks around on hind legs they call it unnatural and wrong. in fact they are the ones making the mistake. but because most humans make this mistake it is considered right to make this mistake.
It is sad that we limit the ranges of what we are capable of in our behavior for reasons that are only about the discomfort of those who have incorrectly developed rigidity about their perception of ‘laws of nature’ that are not really laws at all. it is fine for an adult to play video games, and smoking cigarettes won’t make you more adult if you are a child, it will just be worse for you to start smoking as a child than as an adult. it was stupid for people to say that humans should not attempt to develop the abilities to transport ourselves in boats or planes because we are not fish or birds. obviously we are not fish or birds and never will be, but we can still swim and fly if it suits us well enough to do so.
It’s an illogical bigotry that i reluctantly have learned long ago to try to adhere to. but ultimately, deep down, i still am a mirror to the whole universe. i am the bugs, snakes, trees, rocks, cats, dogs, computers, the moon; i am men, women, children, retirees, saints, criminals, refugees, soldiers, perverted, pure, insane. i am a human being and part of my great talent as a human is that i am so much less just genetics and hedonic reinforcement than most animals are, and i am mainly memes and empathy and imitation. i learn by repeating the behaviors i see done by others, and i remix memes and behaviors together to create entirely new things. i mix this with the capacity to construct theories and reasoning to behave in novel ways and solve problems and create things.
Of course it is best to imitate those who are most similar to you and who have found the most success in life. the most successful person will probably do that. but this is just an optimal strategy — it should not be an iron law imposed on us, a rule that it is some kind of crime to do the things done by those outside our narrowly defined categories.

I think the reason Solas is so bothered by the Thom Rainier epiphany isn’t that he lost the sense of kindredness, but that it intensified and that terrifies him. It’s a massive blow to his pride to acknowledge their similarities.
But I think he’s lying to everyone and himself if he doesn’t realize that he’s literally just a larger scale model of Blackwall’s scraping and crawling in the dark for a way to atone or rectify his heinous past acts by taking on a new identity (in a sense) and doing what he believes is his best.
The real difference between them is ego. Thom was ready to face the judgement and wisdom of others when he was discovered. Solas, who turns only to himself for absolution, alone in a world of people he hardly considers real, will not find it.
I think when the wisdom spirit dies in his main quest it’s a real breaking point for him, and reaffirms him in plans badly shaken by his experience of closeness with the Inquisitor (possibly) and other inquisition members.
I don’t think it’s possible to redeem someone from their own fucked up redemption arc. He’s already trying to redeem himself by doing the thing he will need the redemption for. Double redemption just cancels out probably.

in one of my classes we had to list important events of the 60's and I included the release of the Astro Boy anime (my teacher was annoyed that I listed stuff from comic books and cartoons but they said pop culture was allowed sooo)
To be fair the release of Astro Boy into the US was a pretty big deal because of the anti-Japanese rhetoric following the end of WWII that was consistent and persistent all through the 60s and it really did not begin to taper off until the early 80s.
My mother remembered when the show was released and it had a pretty big negative stigma surrounding it, with newspaper articles demonizing this little child robot as a murderer and proof of the 'corrupt Japanese'. There were mild calls to stop the broadcast of the show and my mother had a memory of her father turning the television off when she was watching it.
I forget what she said he told her, but it was very racist, and I can't ask her because she's dead.
Even through the racism and commentary surrounding its release, it persisted for years.
The 1960s when it came to media are an important part of social history and it is commentary of social rights and the hope for a better future. We had Star Trek also release in the 60s where humans of all genders were equal, where all races where equal and where all species were people. Star Trek was also not without extreme criticism, and shared some kindredness with Astro Boy for being both golden age science fiction pieces where the future is supposed to be better.
Astro Boy didn't have quite the pop culture permanency in the USA as Star Trek did but it is still part of history and some of the episodes are still incredibly relevant today.
Also, wtf does your teacher have against comics??? Do they know of the profound history involving comics, where there were book burnings in the 50s that were exclusive to comic books containing 'immoral' themes? Do they know of the book The Seduction of the Innocent that was the segue for The Comics Code being put in place in the first place?

Papa Hunter may not be the greatest of cooks around, but he knows backwards and forwards what recipes makes the Junior Hunters feel better. The right chicken soup with just enough thyme when they're sick. The uj cake is not too overwhelming and doesn't have the nuts that Hunter Junior #3 doesn't like for cozy winter days at home. The special birthday pancakes. The mashed potatoes that are somehow better than anyone else's at holidays. The special secret noodle dish that they only have when Cyare isn't around that Crosshair also loves, but will never admit (Hunter Junior #2 is the only one with this knowledge and is sworn to secrecy). And finally the cinnamon toast he always makes when someone has a bad day or a booboo or just needs a little mood boost. Even Auntie likes it and it's the closest she gets to liking Hunter and even appreciates that he never remarks on it, just quietly makes it when he senses she needs it. (Sorry if that last one is too much, it just makes me sad that she dislikes Hunter so hard when I'm sure he's trying to make up for bad decisions and regrets of the past. Do I want everyone to be friends and have a happy ending? Darn tooting. But feel free to ignore it.)
His recipes are simple and unfussy but they always turn out juuuuuuuust right and hit the spot, especially for his little batch.
OKAY FIRST OFF I NEED TO SAY. I absolutely love your takes, how well you know these characters and how you just nail it every time. It shows a lot of thought and effort put into my little universe (bless your sweet soul I’m so sorry XD) and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Like literally I’m blown away. You just understand the dynamics so well and it gives me some comfort, knowing that my stuff must make sense in some capacity; too often I feel like I struggle to articulate myself and it’s a real burden for me. So anyway I just wanted to say thank you.
ALSO it’s crazy to me, that even though I haven’t openly named all the girls yet (because I’m still deciding on some names XD) I’ve got all their personalities down, and it’s so wild to me that you just inherently know their personalities despite me having provided the bare minimal. (Ex: Hunter Junior #2 being the secret bearer which is ACCURATE because Nessa is a good sweet girl. Absolutely precious. And Hunter Junior #3 being picky (Raya is a delightful handful XD) it just blows my mind. You are awesome.
NOW ONTO THE ASK THAT I LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART.
Yes Hunter is a subpar cook BUT as you said, he knows the fan favorites down to a tee. The A+ thyme chicken soup when they’re sick. The perfectly mellow Uj cake.
ALSO THE SUPER SECRET NOODLE DISH WHICH FACILITATES THEIR NOODLE SHOP STARTUP. IT WAS HUNTER’S OBSCURE RECIPE EVERYBODY. GIVE IT UP.
AND MY FAVORITE FAVORITE BIT WITH AUNTIE.
Please do not be sorry for this!! As I said I adore the depth you go into; it feels like my own thoughts broadcasted back at me and it’s such a comfort and delight.
Although it made me SAD in the best way. Yes Delana has a lot of hard feelings towards Hunter and yes he is trying so hard to make amends for his past regrets. And while they’ll never have a fully-fledged relationship there is some kindredness between them that is very rich.
Hunter delivers some of his famous cinnamon toast to a certain new mama after she’s just had Asher. :)) Scores some points with Cross there.
#o h I need to write something about that last bit becuz my heart aches🥺😩❤️#*incoherent noises*#brb crying#tw relationships#papa hunterverse#papa hunter#sergeant papa#noodle shop au#noodle shop#noodles & nuggets#sergeant hunter#hunter#delana#heartfire#auntie#cyare#hunter junior#hunter junior horde#bad batch baby#nessa#raya#dangerousstrawberrypie#it’s a lil thing

hii vic! just noticed all the eyes present on your blog and some of your moodboards. like for example your banner and your pinned post. is there any specific symbolism of eyes that speaks to you or that you identify with? also, is the presence of the eyes in your blog more because you metaphorically see yourself, as a writer, as an all-seeing all-knowing being to your characters or does it have more to do with the themes found in your stories?
love love love and cherish all your work 💗🫶🏻
ohhhh this is such an interesting question thank you!! hmm i actually think it was sort of subconsciously done — the banner has been a visual i found once years ago and have always kept and used for different things. i just love the colors and the strangeness of it. and i found the gif here on tumblr once and liked the representation of my writing being overlooked by that eye. i don’t know if it’s necessarily representative of my work but i feel i do write a lot about knowing another person and kindredness and perhaps that is a little metaphorical of an all seeing eye, i’m not sure. but i like the idea of seeing someone for who they are or meeting someone and just being easily understood which is in real life obviously extremely difficult to come across lol
haha i most definitely do not see myself as all seeing all knowing not even about the characters i write. i feel very much that they sometimes get away from me or develop their own personalities out of my control. like i sort of felt as i wrote someone’s wife that the mc at a certain point was becoming redundant in her refusal of joel and like she even says about herself, somewhat hypocritical, like you’re having sex with this man, you’re obviously very emotionally involved with him and yet you still feel this inevitable need to refuse him? it was difficult to understand in a way even for me but at the same time, i just couldn’t write her out of that corner at will. i understood where that refusal stemmed from and that it needed to progress organically as she saw fit — idk if that sounds a little nonsensical but it’s like you have to stay true to the characterization of this person that’s come from you, if that makes sense
thanku for the question and i likewise cherish your appreciation for the stories 💗💗💗
