definitely not an original thought but so many submissions on the aita tumblr aregenuinely so depressing. like “aita for not coming out to my parents when they have repeatedly demonstrated that doing so would be unsafe” “aita for standing up for myself in an abusive relationship” “aita for having a critical thought about someone who was cruel to me” good god.
#purrs#relatedly… and not to say this but. i truly truly truly think it is sickening how many ppl have emotionally unavailable / abusive / whatever#parents like how did this happen to so many of us. i think that’s the reason that we think things like this are our fault. because fucking#ADULTS WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO NURTURE AND TAKE CARE OF US made US take care of THEM. it’s that meme about having beef with a 5 year old but its#so unfunny in this context like. why are you forcing your child to be someone they are not or sacrifice their identity / desires / whatever#so YOU can feel good about yourself. as if that does not do devastating lasting psychological damage to a young person lol.#this is why with every day that goes by i think more and more that iprobably shoudl not have kids. i wanted to so bad a few yrs ago but it’s#like… god. even if i tried my absolute hardest to not emotionally harm a child like that i do not want to risk making eben the smallest#mistake. i don’t want to subject someone who didn’t even ask for it to a lifetime of feeling like this. lolllll#delete later#<- in part bc im abt to go practice drivin GB for the 3rd time so my thoughts aren’t clear rn imjust mad about this.#like… kids are YOUNG! they don’t have emotional.. whatever it is to shoulder their own emotions and then a whole ADULT’S. and it’s so sosick#the way that so many kids have had to and STILL have to. and how it’s a cycle and all that. and the only way to break it is not having kids!#* sometimes more than one adult’s not to mention other kids in some situations. like good god. it’s so so so sick.#ask to tag

Maybe im over thinking this, and maybe im wrong bc I haven’t played the game in detail(only played through it once) but i feel so sad when i think about how Hesh’s role as an Older brother and the leader may have made him a little neglected emotionally. Elias told Logan he is proud of him at the end but not Hesh even tho Hesh was the one thats yelling at Rorke and trying to take his attention off of Elias and Logan.
He is always protecting Logan, there for Logan, responsible for everything. How he let Logan sleep a little longer because it feels like Logan needed it to him. He is commended for the great things he did and then recommended to be the next person to join the ghosts bc of his good work. But he didn’t get his dad’s mask, Merrick handed it to Logan. Im sure He didn’t care about getting the mask bc he loved Logan (aka Logan having a piece of their dad)more than the idea of being recognized.
Hesh is definitely over looked sometimes because he is always the leader, the person that is expected to be okay. As the oldest siblings I really resonate with him on that aspect. It kinda kills me to think that after Logan was taken he would have the worst survivors guilt. You cant tell me this man wouldn’t have blamed himself. Like he would be so so so devastated and thinks its all his fault and everything he did was for naught.
Sorry just had to talk about Hesh bc he is too underrated 🥲🥲🥲🥲

You know why the conversation between Sally and Poseidon is so good and has us losing our shit?
Because of ✨context✨.
I feel like these days the majority of the scenarios don't show you the way the character feel but just the way that they act. Which sometimes those two things are different. Do you know where was the last time that a show showed us well written context behind actions and words? In that kiss scene in Good Omens.
The conversation between Sally and Poseidon is so amazing because it appears that it's just two parents talking about the future of their child, which it is, but it also turns into a conversation between a couple who still loves one another but for reasons can't be together.
Let me show you how I analysed this moment.
Tumblr media
So here Poseidon is stating a fact. That Sally doesn't want to sent Percy away and she's responding truthfully that she doesn't. The context behind her multiple no's is :
No Im not ready to separate from him yet
No I don't like the idea of him being away from me
No I can't lose him yet because i feel it'll be like losing you again.
And now you'll say "where do you get the last one from pines?
From here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Tell me why" I believe has a double meaning as a sentence.
1 tell me why you can't lose him yet and get it out of your system
and
2 tell me you still love me and miss me
The way he said it with much longing and so strained, in my opinion, that I feel the context behind it is:
"Tell me why you can't lose him. Tell me that you see me in our son. Tell me you miss me because I can't tell you how I feel."
Thats why Sally says "you don't wanna hear why" and if you watch carefully youll see them chuckling a little.
She says "you don't wanna here because if I tell you we both know you'll drop everything and come to me and that can't happen."
Tumblr media
I don't have the full subtitle here but Poseidon says
"but you have no one to say it to, and maybe that's the most unfair part of it"
Meaning you don't have any one else who understands what's like to raise a demigod and also you don't have any one else to lean on, to listen and comfort you when things get rough. And that's unfair because I want to be here for you.
And then he says the line that's literally my new roman empire
Tumblr media
"YOU SAY IT AND I WILL LISTEN"
(screaming in a pillow)
Context "I will drop everything and come to you if you tell me to. You call me and I'll be here in seconds just like I did now"
I can't this is killing me..
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then we have Sally turning the subject again on Percy with the "I want him to know who he is, before your family tells him who they want him to be" only to counter it with
"he is better than that" and context wise I'm sure she says "you are also better than that. Than them."
I think that, because the camera points at Poseidon at than moment and the when Sally says " he has better things in him than that" she takes a little credit for her contribution into who Percy is, which honestly fuck yeah girly you deserve all the credit, and that's when the camera points at her.
Then Poseidon starts explaining her how the situation is going to be and how it'll be for both her and Percy and he finishes with this
Tumblr media
Which also has me screaming and crying on the floor because so far is the closed he's got to look at her. So far he looks down or up front.
And he's so poud of her and I'm... I can't.... He loves her so much......
And because it's obviously a very sensitive sudject emotionally for Sally who's trying to move on or to focus on her child she changes the subject (kinda) again by asking Poseidon
Tumblr media
And here we start seeing context purely for Poseidon
I can't post more pictures, but he turns and side looks at Percy and you can seeee that he's considering it very much. He almost says yes. It's so tempting and devastating for him. Only for Zeus to throw that thunder. At first i thought it was Poseidons thunder (as stormbringer) to represent his inner conflict but while I was waiting for it to be heard I noticed that it took to long and that his face didnt show resignation until after it struck. So I strongly believe that, that was Zeus warning him about interving.
And thus we reach the ending monologue where Poseidon states that when Percy is ready, as his mother sees fit he will be at his sons side supporting him as he very much wants.
I swear the context here is so good I'm gonna be thinking about it for days.
Now I'm gonna cry watching Sally/Poseidon edits on the clock up because I physically can't :')

HI SEED, how are u 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩 Could u please recommend me some books 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️
HIIII RII im kinda sick ngl but yes of course i can <3
novels:
giovanni’s room; james baldwin ★★★★★ i havent read a ton of classics (that i rmbr and/or outside of school) and im working on changing that but this one is soooo good. trust me
a place for us; fatima farheen mirza ★★★★★ hands down my fav novel ever. it hit something so deep within me i cant even think about it without feeling every emotion possible (and i do ask ppl to lie to me if they dont like it)
yellowface; r. f. kuang ★★★★☆ i only finished this a few days ago and it was very good! the social commentary might be a Little too on the nose sometimes but i think it’s needed for a lot of people considering how many (white) readers missed the point completely. only reason i didnt give it 5 stars is it’s not like... emotionally devastating like everything else on this list
sharp objects; gillian flynn ★★★★★ mommy issues galore. small town girl grows into a pathetic loser woman and for someone who loves pathetic women this was absolute gold
transcendent kingdom; yaa gyasi ★★★★★ also mommy issues galore but in a very different way. wonderful weaving of science and faith to grapple with the death of the protag’s brother
a thousand splendid suns; khaled hosseini ★★★★★ this is perhaps a basic rec considering it’s quite old but it stands the test of time and i only read it last year so it’s fresh for me and i think it’s insanely good and one of those books everyone should read at least once
luster; ravel leilani ★★★★☆ i dont actually remember a lot about this one. i read it in 2022 and it’s very very character driven so i enjoyed the prose more than anything
one day; david nicholls ★★★★★ yeah yeah everyone’s talking abt this now but it is genuinely such a gutting read. ruined me for days. it's also one of those rare ones where i would 100% recommend watching the show for as well
poetry:
i dont read a lot of poetry but i've been reading More of it lately so here are a few just in case u wanna check them out
date & time; phil kaye ★★★★☆
patricide; dave harris ★★★★☆
the history of forgetting; lawrence raab ★★★★☆
bright dead things; ada limón ★★★★★
mistaking each other for ghosts; lawrence raab ★★★★☆

I think safe ships are boring. I well aware that greenstorm, Llorumi, ZanexOverlord whatever that's called,* insert more enemy x hero ships here* are toxic, unsafe, criminal in some cases. But I don't read fanfiction for the slowburn now they live happily ever after endings. At least not between this type of dynamic
Especially if they're actual enemies. I don't want them to be happy together. And grow and learn to love and forgive the atrocities and stuff. That's just delusional.
If I'm reading a hero×villain story im there mostly for the conflict. The wrestling mania of having a crush on the worst person on the planet. Thinking that this person beat me up yesterday but I'm still gonna kiss them. The overall conflict of having to explain to other protagonists why on earth they run back to this very evil person. Figuring it out themselves why they like this person and why they keep doing it.
Safe ships do the same thing. Over and over. Kai x Cole ch1 they're pining, ch2 almost kiss, ch3 actual kiss, Ch4 random event or miscommunication, ch5 IVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU COLE!
Most safe ships have this exact or very similar formula. It's repetitive and so very very very very bland
I suppose the sin is that I like unsafe ships because there is more uncertainty and more to work with and are almost always guaranteed a bad or emotionally complicated ending. And you don't get that energy most of the time with more safe ships like Lava or Techno because to make that conflict with *good* characters, you have to be really ooc to get there. l And no I don't think it's hot to be beaten up or support abusive relationships. But in fanfiction it is fun in way.
it's complicated idk man
I do get where you're coming from. exploring bad relationships is always entertaining. Again, if you're not shipping any of these romantically I don't see a problem. I love me some Lloyd hating himself for still liking harumi one shots.
but like... Zane x Overlord. what even is the... what would...
anyway, maybe step away from the very edge. Try some AUs maybe? That's an easy way to switch up dynamics so that outcomes are a little more uncertain. I've seen some really devastating stuff be done with pixane, and that's like the most pure ship.
But also, yeah, fanfic writers, healthy relationships have real problems sometimes. make it interesting. there's a place for fluff, but get some stakes in there.

i was in more pain when i suffered for yrs nd yrs not knowing what was wrong w me tjis is even before i was in a relationship but im like in a lot of pain now still even after my therapist confirmed i have bpd nd whatnot cuz sometimes it can feel so so painful and hopeless. the only way to cure it is to just constantly work on urself and try and im finally getting the help i need but cuz im in a weird in btwn period rn where i havent started my intensive outpatient program yet nd im suffering a lot nd its hard to admit and see when i do have good days which make the bad days all the more devastating for me and all the bpd stigma rly pains me too but yeah then i just think i am so fkn cringe for being like this imagine if i was a functional well adjusted adult the stuff i have done bc of mental unwellness is so embarrassing and extreme i suffer so much when its literally kinda all in my head. well not really bc it manifests in the worst ways and affects every facet of my life but it started just bc i am like mentally and emotionally unwell and unregulated and maybe traumatized who knows. then i think abt how i cld also be autistic and yk the controversy around is bpd just autism esp as a woman and also the other controversy abt bpd just being cptsd ETC and idk do the labels wven matter. i do really identify w bpd but its also hard nog to let that define me and take over my life and mental headspace when its affecting me really hard atm i just wanna be happy but my brain is hindering me from that it feels

some hermie theories/predictions
because he was barely present in the last episode and he is still super blorbo-fied in my brain here are some of my predictions on this little weirdo:
After going through few more batman villain characters the teens/maybe specifically normal will call him out for all the method acting bullshit and through some means convince hermie to stop constantly method acting. So then for like the first time both us and the characters see what the actual hermie is like, and this is like some grade a angst potential. I’m talking like; hermie constantly acting like other characters because he thinks his own personality sucks / has no real personality. Not knowing who he really is. Just some nice identity crisis shit. Can also be a parallel to Normal’s arc, cus we love parallels in this household, also it would be cute for them to bond over
At some point in the campaign our boy is doodler-ized. we know the doodler can easily controll/manipulate people who are over obsessed with something. and hermie seems pretty obsessed with perfectly embodying fictional characters. So maybe the doodler could fuck his mind up and all the teens will have to deal with that. At that point it’s up to them whether they fight/kill him, banish him, or try to save him. we know that doodler-ized people can be saved if they’re convince that the thing they’re obsessed with is wrong/not worth it. So maybe they convince him that being himself is more important than any role. again, some nice identity angst but with eldritch horror this time. bonus points if he and normal’s relationship is a lil more developed and normal can be the one to get through to hermie (i know “saved by the power of love” is corny but gotdamit i like corny!)
hermie is revealed to be somehow connected to the s1 dads/ s2 dads / doodler / willy / anything else already established in universe. Maybe he’s somehow from the forggoten realms? Maybe he’s some kind of chaotic creation of the doodler? oh god what if he’s somehow related to scam / mark likely, it’s sounds kinda stupid but he does give likely vibes sometimes. Idk something similar to the Paeden reveal from S1. I feel like anthony likes / is good at doing crazy reveals like that so maybe that will happen with hermie.
and finally maybe... he’s just like a comic relief npc guy? like me and a lot of other fans like him but compared to paeden he doesnt have the super strong instant connections to the rest of the team. which is pretty expected since paeden was a funny lil guy who the dads and audience instantly fell in love with and wanted to keep. so maybe... hermie might just stay a joke character. maybe he wont develop, and eventually he’ll leave the group or get killed. idk this is kind of a pessimistic view, knowing anthony i’m sure he’ll find some way to emotionally devastate us with hermie eventually. i would love to see hermie develop and do some introspective shit, but it’s all up to anthony (who’s already got a lot to do) and the teens interest in the character.
Anyways, just felt like writing a bunch about hermie my weird boy hermie. if any of these happen then uuhhhh... im big brain smart cool girl idk.

ao3 wrapped fic writer 2023
i know ao3 wrapped for readers is not a thing and frankly as impressive as it would be to see just how many millions of words i have read this past year, i don't know if i need to know just how much i hung around in the devil's sacrament shown back to me, ya know?
so i instead just wanna celebrate and focus on all the writing i was able to do this year up to nov 30 (today). this is just for posted stuff on ao3, obviously my wips folder (aka my lazy susan of drafts) is a different story LOL.
also, super important for me to point out: this is meant for celebration and pride! after having been on hiatus from writing for like 7 years, i'm so happy to be able to get back into writing again. with that said, if the numbers for your ao3 isn't as high as you'd liked, please just know that i'm still very proud that you wrote AND published your work to share with others. it can and does take a lot out of you to write and share freely like this. so if nothing else, you should know that! (and if you haven't written much at all this year for whatever reason, i'm still proud of you! like i said, it's tough sometimes but we should still celebrate ourselves)
if you're a writer and see this and want to play along, feel free to just copy and paste. there's no tagging because i wouldn't wanna put people on the spot/make someone uncomfortable. ok onwards etc etc

I HONEST TO GOD BELIEVED CHENAS KNIFE BEING MISSING BECAUSE OF TOM NOOK WAS GOING TO BE CHENAS DOWNFALL AND KILL HIM AT THE LAST LINE 😭😭😭😭😭 besides that fucking horror I am overwhelmed by the sweetness and the emotional pain this chapter was <3 <3 <3 zukka was cute (SOKKA BEING PROTECTED AND A LOSER BISEXUAL TEEN BOY), tom nook keeps winning (BI4BI KINGS LEGENDS LOSERS CANT CHANGE MY MIND) and also the AMAZING transition of words in zukos mindset that I think is going to change a LOT for him. "good or bad" can't exist, and even when zuko was being silly and avoiding sokkas answers (cuz he's emotionally constipated lmao) was to me a smaller example that people don't fit into categories like that? It was super surface level there, but when you go deeper into it it's really not that simple and zukos perception of that is completely warped because he HAS done bad things, and the self-hatred and shame of that has convinced himself there is only one category. It's BEAUTIFUL I love it and I'm excited <3
Anyways, lastly I request you stop making me sob every time hakoda touches zukos scar. Stop it entirely. It's literally devastating knowing that zuko had just a small essence of hope his father was going to touch him before he burned him and now he thinks of violence every time and another father appears in his life and his touch is always warm and kind and not burning and I'm losing my mind over here JUST STOP IT AND LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! good fic top tier goodbye
WHY IS EVERYONE SO SURE IM JUST GONNA KILL EVERYONE SOMETIMES A GUY LOSES A KNIFE AND IT MEANS NOTHING DID YOU THINK OF THAT
also LOVE ur understanding of the sword metaphor bc even what you said about sokka is true; like as much as sokka ultimately falls into zuko's very rigid cataegory of 'good', he's still not easily forgiving and he can be mean and snappish and has a lot of characteristics zuko sees in himself, and of course if they're a Zuko Characteristic in his mind, then they HAVE to be bad, so what gives? it's interesting to me bc in book 1 zuko had effectively come to the conclusion that both swords = balance and that was a GOOD thing, like we see it in his talk with hakoda in ch13, but it's something he's having to relearn with a much broader worldview and some really horrible experiences and this chapter was HUGE for his progress in that regard.
"literally devastating knowing that zuko had just a small essence of hope his father was going to touch him before he burned him and now he thinks of violence every time and another father appears in his life and his touch is always warm and kind and not burning" I JUST WOKE UPPPPPP i dont want to think about them *thinks about them thinks about them thinks about them thinks about-*

hope you feel better soon :( also i've heard of d20 but don't actually know the premise, what's it about? (if you're up for explaining!)
d20 is dimension 20 !!!! it's dropout's table top roleplaying series, and there are so many different seasons and casts
im making my way through the intrepid heroes shows right now (emily axford, zac oyama, siobhan thompson, lou wilson, ally beardsley, brian murphy)
so far im caught up with fantasy high (traditional dnd characters, in a high school setting), finished a starstruck odyssey (a dnd game set in the universe of the off broadway play/comics of starstruck), a crown of candy (genuinely cant describe this one but i promise it's good), and im in the middle of neverafter (fairytale but horror)
its fun and silly and sometimes emotionally devastating and so worth watching
