✨2 minutes later...✨

#my school president #LOOK HOW CLOSE THEY GOT!#it's going to take me a while to recover from this and the pinky hold #like...a LONG while #THEY WERE SO ADORABLE!#I want more adorable idiots (affectionate) flirting with each other like this #this is so perfect #I love this show #it's brilliant. so brilliant #I don't even care if it takes until the last ep for them to kiss if I can have more moments like these #stolen unacknowledged moments of conscious and deliberate physical contact #that says: I like you and I think you like me to but I'm testing the waters #and: hey this is nice I like being this close to you and I think you feel the same #things that make me go ajdfha;kdfhak;jdh #my school president ep 4

accepting the apology and not forgiving is great but I think that people should also just not accept the apology, whether it's because you just don't feel good still, whether the person is truly sorry or not, because it doesn't matter what they say, what's done is done and in the end you have been hurt by them

even if you're being polite or nice to them, you don't have to accept the apology just as you don't have to give them forgiveness, they're two sides of the same coin and you should never feel like you're bad or mean for still not liking them after they hurt you

and not only that, even if what they did was unintentional, it doesn't matter what they actually wanted to do or what the intended outcome was, because it's already been done and this is the outcome whether they wanted it or not, and even if they've done something nice for you, even if they're better to you, there is nothing that you have to give them unless you feel like it

nothing at all

until you're ready, if you ever will be

A little something like this, right?

#From memory for the most part #I've drawn these characters more times than I expected 😂#I cheated and fixed a few things when I went to pick colors (and then didn't even use them)#Idk I felt nostalgic and decided to crank out a few bugs #Lesse... What stories do I got. It's been a while so I have quite the selection #Oh jdbdjvskhff my dog died from cancer of all things. Like seriously what the heck #While we were recovering I jokingly mentioned something about getting another rescue dog #Within the WEEK we had a pomeranian in our house. A pomeranian. 16 pounds. Pomeranian.#See the reason I mentioned it at all was to give our other dog- Tiger the 11(?) yr old maltipoo- company in his twilight years.#You know. Maybe another old pooch like Lucky that was chill and kind #And now we have Rudy aka SPITFIRE #He's fun though! I like him. He's always smiling and it warms my heart. I swear I can walk out of the house for an hour #and he'll greet my like I've been gone for years every single time #What else. Oh lol so I'm taking care of my neighbor's house for two weeks #A wwwk in and the cat decides to RUN OFF. In the middle of a THUNDERSTORM.#36 hrs later and I'm like aight this isn't great #After posting notices online etc I was sitting around and thought to myself something kinda dumb #See he likes listening to me play on their grand piano. They never use it but I do and the cat always lays at my feet while I jam #So I thought... what if I pied piper the cat home. So I threw open all the doors #And played for oh idk 20 min?#CAT WALKS IN. SITS ON THE FLOOR BESIDES ME #Cats. I stg #Eh that's all for now I'm sleeby #hollow knight #art tag #See ya!

Since you are a fan of rise and you do like that Raph. What’s your opinion on 03 Raph and 12 Raph?

Oh ho ho!! I'm actually glad you asked this bc I've been thinking about it a lot lately.

2003 raph is prob one of my favorite turtles in 03. I've only watched the first two seasons of the show, but I love his snark. He has some of the best comeback lines and his dynamic with Mikey is one of my favorite aspects of the show. His "yo mama" line is something I think about a lot haha.

Now 2012 raph. Ohhhh boy him. Having gotten through the first three seasons of 2012, my perception of him has changed drastically. If you showed me just the first two episodes of 2012 (and like...first half of season 1) I would've told you raph is a horrible brother who is nothing more than a bully. But I've watched three seasons of 2012 now and SOMEHOW he's become one of my favorites. Maybe it's bc they soften him a bit in later seasons. Maybe it's bc sometimes I'd sit there and be like...damn he has a right to be angry (I will actually never forgive splinter's "lesson" in s1ep3). Maybe I like really flawed characters? Idk. But as someone whos first introduction of the character was rise/2012 fics, I've now since grown an appreciation for him. 2012 had an extremely rough start with his character, since ya. He was a bully and oftentimes extremely out of pocket with insults. (but honestly all the 2012 turtles were. Raph was just the biggest offender). But like all raphs he's secretly a big softie that's masked by a rough exterior. 2012 raph is what happens if that softness is made fun of and seen as a weakness instead of strength. (Also if the writers don't understand the difference between banter and bullying until like season 2 coughcough) So ya, he's one of my favs now. I have way too much to say about him

#I'll never forget mikey walking in on him playing with his action figures #or him taking over as leader when leo was recovering from a coma #that has some of the most wholesome raph moments #he cares he just doesnt know how to show it #all the 2012 boys need therapy #bc damn nobody told them to process their feelings properly #SPLINTER #again #ill never forgive him for telling his other brothers to gang up on him with insults as a lesson #i didnt even like the character when i saw that and went what the actual fuck #i have so many thoughts about 2012 #2003 tmnt #2012 tmnt #pixel replies

Given my proclivity for both fantasy and amnesia stories it’s probably not actually THAT weird that it’s happened twice — altho in fairness, neither of these start with amnesia as a selling point, so it’s not like I sought them out — but if I had a nickel for every time the question “Who?” was one of the single most emotionally devastating things that happens in a whole series I sure would have two nickels

#…oh dear now I am thinking about other series that could destroy me with this question #hey uh. hey uh. what if black butler #what IF #undertaker got ciel out of his deal by editing his cinematic record somehow #and snipping out the memories of Sebastian #fuckin. a ciel who thinks he got hit in the head really fucking hard the night his parents were killed #and has spent the last few years recovering from the brain trauma with severe memory loss #it’s okay though you see #bc his brother 🙃 is here 🙃 to take care of him 🙃🙃🙃#one of the servants manages to get to him #probably finny. I think finny would be the most heartbreaking #and bc he always fixes everything asks ‘where’s Sebastian?’#ciel: ‘Our dog? he died—‘#finny: no! your butler! sebastian!#ciel: who?

The screaming had lasted for hours.

Not screaming like someone was dying; Ingo would have intervened if that were the case.

In some ways, the argument he could almost hear was worse.

The twins had come round with Cori and Razz, picking up Akari and Rei and taking them out for ice cream when it had started. Ingo had asked Davis about it who had, reasonably, looked uncomfortable.

"Dizzy loves our brother, she really, really does. But she... takes his lifestyle personally. They're very similar like that." Davis had responded quietly. "It's an old argument with no end. This happens- not normally in front of the kids, so Khan had us take them out of the house when she started winding up, and Cor asked if we could grab Akari for ice cream and..."

Ingo had let them go, sitting at home and listening. He couldn't hear the words but he could hear the tone. How angry Dizzy was, how it would go quiet and then there would be another outburst. Only a handful of times did Khan raise his voice in return at his sister, but never for very long. Ingo couldn't remember having any arguments like that with Emmet. He didn't remember their childhood, but the memories he had recovered of their teenage years and before his accident... he didn't think he and his twin had ever been quite so volatile.

Then again, there had been no signs of this sort of conflict between the oldest siblings either. If he wasn't hearing it, he'd never have thought they'd fight like this. Given the lack of interference from the rest of the neighborhood he wagered Davis was right, and that the best way to deal with this storm was simply to ride it out.

When the argument finally ended he was standing by his window that looked into his neighbor's front yard, worried. Dizzy stormed out with Khan following quickly behind. Ingo had never seen him look so... small. It was hardly a word one would associate with the young man, given his height and stature, and yet it was the only word Ingo could think of to describe him.

He watched as Khan reached for his sister, only for her to turn and slap his hand away.

“Why can’t you even try, you self-sacrificing bastard? You never even try!”

She stomped down the sidewalk, slamming the door to her car shut before turning it on and pulling out at a decidedly unsafe speed. Ingo watched as Khan stared after her, shoulders still slumped, before he put a hand up to his face and turned to walk back into his home.

Maybe it would be better to leave well enough alone, to pretend he hadn’t overheard… _that,_ but Khan was… well. Khan was his friend. Things may have been shaky to start with between them, but they had smoothed out. Khan knew about Ingo’s amnesia and never once judged him for it. Now, Ingo knew about… this.

Still. He hesitated before walking out of his own home and down the sidewalk to his neighbor’s, glancing around at the rest of the homes on the street. Blinds were slowly opening, curious eyes peeking through to see what still stood in the wake of the hurricane argument. The door to Khan’s home was unlocked when he tried the handle and Ingo slowly opened the door.

“Khan?” He called out.

There was a sniffling sound, a familiar hitch of breath.

“Yeah?” Khan’s voice was thick and low when he replied. “What’s up, need something fixed?”

“No, I…” Ingo shut the door behind him. The house was in one piece. For all the screaming and noise it appeared that nothing had been broken. The argument may have sounded violent but nobody had gotten physical. “I heard what happened and I was wondering if you were… alright.”

“Oh, you… you heard that?” Khan hadn’t come out to find him and so Ingo continued towards his voice instead. “Well, yeah. They could probably hear that on the moon.”

“Possibly. I was unaware that Dizzy’s volume could rival my own.”

Khan was sat in the kitchen, slouched down in one of the chairs he’d built by hand. A byproduct of one of the many jobs he’d taken to keep his siblings fed, homed, and safe. He still looked, to Ingo’s dismay, small. Defeated. Deflated of all life.

“Yeah, she’s got some pipes on her. Always has. About burst my eardrums when she was a toddler, the way she’d howl when she threw a fit.”

One hand was rubbing at his face and his shoulders were still shaking intermittently. Ingo paused, uncertain, before he rested a hand on Khan’s shoulder.

“I don’t know what happened, but if you’d like to talk about it… or if you’d prefer, I can leave?”

Khan was silent long enough that Ingo prepared to straighten up, head out the door, and pretend this had never happened.

Khan leaned forward, rubbed his eyes again, and shook his head.

“You can stay,” he said quietly, and Ingo pretended he didn’t see the tears falling onto the floor, “it’s fine. You can stay.”

#khan a.#neighbor au #dizzy loves her brother but even though it's been over a decade she takes the decisions he made as a teenager personally #she feels guilt for not being able to help him more nevermind that she was a couple years younger than him #with all of them older and better able to take care of themselves she wants him to start branching out and DOING things #and doesn't understand that khan doesn't feel like a failure (bc she does) and that he's actually quite... comfortable and happy.#and that it's taken him a while to feel this way because he always felt like he wasn't doing ENOUGH #she's the well meaning younger sibling who feels like she held him back and now she's trying to 'encourage' him into doing something MORE #when khan can finally do LESS #eventually there will be a compromise where ingo does not wander over afterwards and find khan pretending he's not crying (again)#(ingo will help be that catalyst bc he understands why dizzy feels as though she's failed because he's gone through it with emmet feeling #the same way about ingo's own injury that caused his amnesia. they'll sit her down and have a talk with her and then she'll go #talk to her brother and they'll cry into each other's arms because they're actually very melodramatic)#but for now. for a little while yet. they will argue and khan will send the littles away and ingo will help him recover.#dizzy will come back in a week and they won't speak about It until the feelings bottle up and build up enough pressure to explode again.#ingo #SKETCHY SKETCHY IT LOOKS BAD OH WELL

so, you know how

SPOILERS FROM THE ARANYAKA QUEST

the aranara gave up their memories just to help Rana out?

Imagine FL Childe and the corruption from the abyss hurting and spreading, even moreso beyond what big fluffy moth can handle.

The aranara offered to help but since they did just recently cleansed Rana and had given the Bija to her, they can't do it immediately. But you're running out of time...

So you offer your own memories to be taken to the earth and the leaves and to be one with the great vanarana.

All your memories, your experiences, all the tears of joy and pain, all given to help make the Bija for Childe.

The next time he awoke and had hurriedly nuzzled you in gratitude, there was fear and evident confusion in your face and voice.

"W-who are you?"

*swings my legs and giggles* anon i love you SO much for sending this in /p

you don't remember how you got here, in a sweet little house filled with unfamiliar sights and sounds. you don't remember a lot, to be honest, other than a few scattered visions of your life and light and laughter and then a wide, gaping chasm of emptiness before waking up here, a gentle humming outside drawing you from your slumber

or perhaps it was the snuggly monster in your lap that truly awoke you

your first, immediate reaction is fear because oh Archons, it's so much bigger than you and has claws and fangs that could tear you to shreds in an instant- and you gasp in terror and flinch away when the creature's talons graze your arms. but it whimpers, crimson features falling in despair when it desperately looks for and fails to find any trace of recognition in your eyes, and your heart aches peculiarly at the sight. hesitantly you open your arms, willing yourself to not pull away when the beast quickly slots itself against your body, clinging to you like you'll disappear if it lets go

it noses against your hand, gently, prompting you to curl your fingers against its hair and slowly scritch behind its horns. it feels familiar somehow, this motion, even if you're sure you've never seen this monster in your life, and you feel it sigh and melt into your touch, arms wrapped around your waist. your fear ebbs away, leaving a sense of deep confusion and oddly enough, peace

there's a tiny tap on your arm, and you glance down to see a little plant-like creature standing beside you. when it speaks you're surprised that you can understand it- or, somewhat- it calls you a "Nara" and itself an "Aranara"

and as you gently stroke the hair of the Abyssal monster in your arms, the Aranara explains everything

I just love it when I'm all trying to take care of myself and I'm like "okay self, time to make some lunch!" and my self's immediate response is "that's too overwhelming, how about panic instead?"

bestie it's okay, I can just heat up something in the microwave, no need to be dramatic

#autistic #recovering from burnout #actuallyautistic #maybe if I call myself bestie I can trigger my 'must take care of others' reflex

i wish all addicts, in recovery or not, a life free of sorrow forever

#.vent #kinda. im not gonna delete this one though #i just. i sure am thinking about this a lot.#i listen to like. trip report videos or whatever and like. the comments section on every single one. just nasty #theres no sympathy for an addict to be seen. unless they're also an addict or are recovering #my dad is a recovered addict. hes been clean for 6 years. i love my dad and hes a wonderful person.#i obviously still have trauma from when he was actively in his mess. to deny that addicts have caused others trauma is to be reductive.#addicts can cause trauma because theyre people. and people can cause trauma all the same #but the lack of understand or care or basic respect to anyone dealing with addiction is just. appalling.#im sick and tired of hearing the same old fucking phrase that its the addicts fault cuz they decided to take the first hit. like #man how fucking cruel can you be. how heartless ya know.#like its obvious hardly anyone commenting abiut this knows anything about what being an addict is like. like.#i know i dont. ive been sober my whole life right. i do not have the same experience.#but. i have a compulsive disorder that makes me perform a task that is 1 harmful 2 almost entirely out of my control #and i cannot describe to you how difficult it is to ignore that urge. for your mind to know what youre doing is harmful. but #your body physically is not listening to you.#like. its a different thing when its addiction. but being compelled to do something you know is hurting you isnt unfamiliar to me #plus with addiction the added factor that your body becomes physically dependent on a drug and it hurts you for a long ass time to try and #stop and withdrawl can sometimes literally be lethal. its so fucking sad to see people hold not even. like an ounce of sympathy ya know #if an addict has abused you im not saying you need to forgive them. you dont. but not every addict is youre abuser #and while you do not need to be involved. every addict deserves a good life. everyone deserves a chance.#just. god. makes me mad. makes me upset.#if you are an addict especially if youre not in recovery. i hope your days go well. i hope the world gets kinder to you.

even does know what plants are though. (as per doctor who canon, the way ships manage to keep oxygen on long voyages is via having literal forests in them. now, nothing to that extent, obviously, they weren’t that well-equipped or funded. but there’s definitely plants In There, probably relegated to a much more ordered existence, think the difference between a natural forest and one grown for logging.) at least they have that. they have seen plants. not often, but they have.

i don’t think they really understand plants beyond their functions (to eat, keep everyone breathing, etc.) whereas with natural beauties and animals and other such things that even has no experience with and can wonder over, they can’t really. do that with plants. the ability to admire a flower rather than immediately think of it in terms of resources lost and gained in its creation is a skill they have to learn.

but you know. at least they have seen them. that’s something. that’s slightly less depressing, right.

#even also would not know how to take care of plants. at most they know that plants require water. maybe.#their job was reconstituting the ship’s waste and recovering as much as they could and safely disposing of the rest #even doesn’t know to water plants. thank god the doctor doesn’t keep houseplants. they would die.#but i just think this would be an interesting contrast.#how easily even is taken in by things they’ve never seen before. and the few things they consider mundane. they have trouble looking at #with any emotion but Critically Thinking About How This Contributes To Us #the ever-present conflict of everything they learned to function as a part of a ship that was. not prepared. and responded to its lack of #preparedness by dehumanizing everyone on it and exploiting them until their death all for a future they couldn’t even be sure was there.#and the fact that they are delighted by the universe. they want to love it. they want to see it as beautiful. they want to escape.#and. what that means is that even thinks of flowers as wastes of space. long after they’ve gotten over a lot of their other ins #instincts about resource management and wasting it and such. they never really like flowers.#and that makes it kind of funny right? that it’s rose they have a crush on.#to them: rose is essential. so important to the doctor and so important - in their eyes - to the whole universe because of it.#idk where im going with this but its certainly a thing now #dw oc

due to Circumstances, there is a greater-than-zero chance that my sister and i will have a dog soon

#ray speaks #yeah so i mentioned this yesterday but our uncle has suddenly fallen ill. as of today he is responding well to treatment but--#--he will be in the hospital for a while and will never fully recover.#he and his wife have 2 dogs; a dachshund and a jack russell. wife finds it hard to care for both dogs by herself.#when my uncle came to visit us he brought his dachshund with him so that his wife would only have to worry about her jack russell #now uncle will probably no longer be able to care for the dogs like he used to... and all this might be too much for his wife....#and my sister and i live fairly close to them; and they don't really have other family or friends nearby......#so. my sister and i talked about it briefly today & we decided we are willing to take one of the dogs if it comes to that.#really it would be my sister taking the dog but we live together so. we would have a dog. in our home #it's only a Maybe right now; just a Possibility #but..... it really is a possibility. it really is #we might end up with a funny lil wirehaired dachshund in our house. a fuzzy lil guy #or we could theoretically end up with the jack russell but really the dachshund is uncle's dog & the jack russell is his wife's #so *if* we take one of the dogs it would *most likely* be the dachshund #regardless. really crazy developments happening in our lives right now

as an underclassman early morning classes and boring classes were what i detested and feared most of all. now it’s difficult classes and evening classes. my evening class last semester actively made me want to become the joker with how disruptive it was to my schedule. i sure would have never wanted to switch into a 9am yawnnnn history lecture class but at this point that sounds like a dream compared to all the tons of active work outside of class with every single professor trying to scare us to death on the first day. i would rather wake up early every day than suffer the hell that i’m currently slated for. last semester brutalized me so badly it’s not even funny i can’t do the same workload again yet worse i need a relative mental break. i do not have that dog in me. i will be going to my advisor screaming and crying tomorrow asking her to make some changes

#like i will take almost anything i can get into at this point #if it fits into my schedule contributes to my actual credit requirements and does not actively make me upset #sounds perfect #and like i am a night owl. it is known i am a night owl #but i can suffer the pain of waking up early for the greater good #i cannot suffer the pain of multiple classes at once in which the professor acts like we don’t have other work to do #like genuinely the workload hasn’t even started yet this semester we’ve had one day of each class so far #and i am like already in absolute dread and depression. just from how they’re making me feel right off the bat #i need out #i need to fix this i thought it would be ok back in november but i don’t know if the pain of last semester really sunk in until afterwards #during winter break i was like oh yay break :]#now that i’m back at school i’m like Huh. so there’s something i never actually recovered from i guess #like now that i’m here i’m like you’re telling me .. i have to do it again. even worse.#and like i was off for 3.5 weeks. but now i understand no amount of time would have ever been enough to prepare me for this #i don’t care if it means i have more work later i’m ahead on credits #this course i wanna drop isn’t strictly required anyway so like.#why kill myself. especially now of all times #sounds like a problem for a future me who isn’t having a mental episode #peach rambles
