Following directly on from the last page of the previous chapter we’re talking about Evil Wolverine’s wish and I LOVE what they do with it here. They frame it as so natural and understandable - a goal that, actually, our entire cast not only sympathises with but already spent part of their own lives already chasing.

And it’s framed visually here with Fai and Kurogane on the outside and their lost loved ones between them. We have Kurogane’s parents up top, smiling happily in his memory - and the climax of Kurogane’s backstory was him REFUSING to let them go. He went completely feral and attacked anyone who went near him. He had to be shot with a laser beam before he could be coaxed into realising he had to let them go. It’s very easy to see how he would understand the raw emotion behind wanting to bring someone back, especially if you never really let go of that all-consuming grief. Like Evil Wolverine, Kurogane did not hold back from hurting others in that grief, for a while.

And below that we have Fai’s brother, by contrast looking ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE in Fai’s memory - reflecting the suffering they went through but also the part of Fai that spent so long fixated on changing what had happened. Fai spent his whole life from that moment working towards a very similar wish to Evil Wolverine’s - to bring his brother back, but in a much more self destructive way. He hated the fact that he survived, tricked into thinking he had killed his brother, and so wanted to switch places. He was also tasked with killing Kurogane to make it happen. And this was the core of his personality for hundreds of years. So of course he gets it - he got it from minute one. When Evil Wolverine showed up in the pit Fai had already guessed his motivation on the spot.

Between them both you can get a rough approximation of what Evil Wolverine is willing to do for this same wish - so caught up in it that he’s willing to do anything, to hurt anyone it takes, to spend hundreds of years working on it, never letting up from that core of grief. But the difference is that Fai and Kurogane both changed. They found love elsewhere, and eventually grew to accept that love. They realised what they were doing and, slowly and with difficulty, knew they had to move on. As much as they missed their loved ones they discovered they had worth elsewhere and could do more good for the living than the dead.

Not Evil Wolverine though! He specifically chose the “fuck the living!” option and has spent his life destroying and manipulating other people into his very same grief on purpose to get what he wants.

I think you could get a lot out of Evil Wolverine specifically using grief to control people. He kills their loved ones in front of them in order to force them to do what he wants - because it’s the only feeling he understands. He lives his life consumed by that grief, so the only way he knows to get people on his side is to make then the same as him. It’s his only tactic.

It just wasn’t strong enough to work on Fai and Kurogane. It was BRUTAL and wrecked their entire lives but they still found the strength to let go of the stage of grief that Evil Wolverine refuses to let go of.

just because you two are the blue ones to your red counterparts does not mean you're the normal ones

#david's weirdness about roger and paul's weirdness about john are very VERY different. but its in the same font #this is why david is 'denial' in the five stages of grief #i just re-listened to the divison bell again and im still like...dude. come on we all know what this is about #-paul's songs- on the other hand are funny because #i'll listen to one that sounds Suspicious but i'll be like 'okay yes i hear it but i'm probably reading into things too much'#but then ill read an article about the song later and it'll be like 'john lennon was convinced this song was secretly about him'#like oh alright then.#pink floyd #the beatles #david gilmour #paul mccartney

“I feel like you used to tell me things,” Mike says. Will looks away from his Walkman, back to Mike. It’s almost startling, finding him already looking back. “I – tell you things,” he replies, a little awkwardly. He barely gets through the sentence before Mike is already shaking his head. "No,” he frowns, “you – you used to tell me things. Like, stuff you wouldn’t tell everyone else.” He seems conflicted, and he looks away. “Stuff just between us.” Will doesn’t know where to begin.

Will tries to navigate a conversation with a freshly-broken-up-with Mike.

#hi again . yes i did go thru the five stages of grief while writing this #i tried to make it good but it is #not . great . and u know what sometimes thats the best i can do #i hope its enjoyable anyways #so . yes .#ok on to the tag s like always #byler #byler fic #byler fanfic #umm #will byers #mike wheeler #that is it i thnk . god i realy need to make alist of those #this is like my 24th fic of them u would think i would have a list by this point #alright . anyway #if this sucks please be nice to me #byebyeeeee #magic

I know ultimate sacrifice is dying in fight for what matters the most and in 100% cases it was reversed by kissing headcanon is strong, but what if your existence was erased from the universe and only I remember about you now instead, huh?

#the fact that 100% cases is a one game is irrelevant #so far rule was simple: hedgehog has to be kissed to be deadn't #sonic the hedgehog #sonic prime season 3 #shadow the hedgehog #i know that making potentialy at least several episodes if not a whole season without titular character is unlikely but what if?#it seems to be year of Shadow so its more likely than ever #sonadow #the “i heart you too”/“you must hate having to admit you need me” callback potential is too good #its not even as much about shipping as hoping for it to be meanigful in any way #i just want it to be more than everyone being sad and constantly saying how amazing he was and how they miss him #& brooding shadow grudgingly working with nine/anyone else because they forced him to and them winning because of power of friendship #and shoving a chaos emerald up sonics ass and everything going back to how it was #i want character development for shadow too damn it!#i want him to make some sort of a sacrifice too #i want him to fight for it. i want him to struggle without sonic. i want him to regret. i want him to go trough 5 stages of grief.#i! want! him! to! FEEL!!!#and what i DEFINITELY dont want is '06v2 #which potentialy can be the case but with “everything is back to normal as if it never happened but i remember Everything” instead #(hopefuly cause if theyre gonna retcon themseves again i swear im gonna give birth of cacti out of my ass)#sonic prime #sonic prime s3 #sth #in this concept sonic goes away somewhere in the first episode/somewhere early in s3 btw #and other ppl will remember sonic in some way at some point or at least help shadow cause lets be honest he needs all the help he can get #but make it gradual and more like a snyder sized movie than a tvshow

ok but imagine a prequel chapter about rei’s first euphoric episode attempt

#slow damage #rei izumi #fanart #i couldn’t stop thinking about it when they spoke about it during rei’s interrogation sequence #i’m so curious about what the dynamics between rei and towa would be at that time #and rei’s feelings as he describes his dark desire to towa #i imagine rei would’ve been more feminine-presenting since he quite literally wanted to shed his manhood #i went through the stages of grief w these little doodles #i hated how the lineart turned out (my inking game has been lacking recently oof)#so i wanted to throw in some color on the sketches with my phone but i added more than i expected lmaooo #also sorry the sfw egg strikes again teehee #happy belated bday rei <3

Our fandom whines about the lack of nuance and critical thinking, but then fails to comprehend the complexity of human emotion when it comes to seeing something you like being ruined or executed poorly

#literally wish i didnt see so many complaints about people being upset that go in the fashion “why do you watch it if you hate it”#dudes. this is such a basic experience #people will see what they want to see applies to media. people will take from this what they can take and can cope with #tf. this is so wild. we go through ten stages of fucking grief in fandok drama and then learn nothing from it and start again #with not just complaining but straight up direct jabs at people “why do you watch it then if you hate it so much”#my gods people are allowed to complain about being unhappy with genuinely bad adaptation decisions wdym #it literally costs you nothing to exist on this platform #i'm sorry guys but when someone complains about their favourite show it is a basic thing to do and is expected when new content drops #but when you complain about them complaining you go out of your way to stir shit up #so many dramas here started because some of us could not shut the fuck up and ignore someone doing something in their own space #control your platform and the experience here. SCROLL PASSED THE POST. IT'S FREE #like genuinely. there is NO reason to get annoyed at people for something that happens all the time. people complain. and they will complai #don't bother fighting me. i stand by what i said #lena goes off

Seth (Alt au) wearing a Hooters outfit would be funny I think.

I AM SO GLAD I'M STILL ALIVE FOR ALL THIS

#personal #really thought the blob full of nothing but terror and grief stage was permanent for a while there #and i wasn't even suicidal anymore i thought i had just permanently borked my brain #no!!!!!!! it just needed time! and my body needed more health!!! and i needed more community again!#DON'T GIVE UP!!!!!!!! if you're seeing this and you're exhausted beyond your bones or being eaten alive by a black hole #please know that you don't need to have hope and you don't need to be gung ho about it to survive #just keep going through the slog and take any opportunity that seems vaguely better each time you can #and rest rest rest i guarantee you that you need unholy amounts of rest that you're not getting #and just hold on. just hold on. it might take years but god everyone was right it was worth it to stay and keep going a while longer #you can give up on life. just don't give up on yourself. you keep hold of yourself and don't let ANYONE convince you to let go including #your own brain. you are SO much cooler and braver and wilder and livelier than you think you are and you're only going to improve over time #i love you and i'm here if there's anything i can do for you #don't be afraid to change your mind and don't be afraid to demand your right to live #those are my two rules for life at this point besides the cardinal rule of 'everyone is suffering and traumatized so be as kind as possible #and watch what happens in a snowball effect around you'#i love you. i love you. i am so glad i am alive to love you.

not to be That Guy but

every so often I just search "Separate Ways" on Twitter to see general reactions to it and

overall, people are freaking out over the fact that it's not only better than but also longer than RE3make. there's also a bunch of pissed off fanboys crying about how they have to pay $10 for something that "was free when it came out originally," not realizing that Separate Ways very much was not free when it came out originally; it was $50.00 because you had to rebuy THE ENTIRE GAME on PS2.

and if you didn't have a PS2, you had to buy that, too. so, for some people, Separate Ways was actually hundreds of dollars when it came out originally. jackasses.

and then there's another certain subset of people whose reactions are just causing me to

#i put 'aeon coup de grace' on my bingo card as a joke mostly #the most hail mary of hail maries #but uhhhhh #deadass i might be able to check it off #i'm watching these guys through every stage of grief and then circle back around and go through it again #everyone's mask is slipping because the ship was sacrificed in the name of fixing and enriching ada's character #but none of them are celebrating how much was added to her #they're only lamenting what was taken away #but the only thing that was taken away was leon's cock #oh it feels so nice to see them all just fucking show their whole ass #after all the posturing and grandstanding of 'IF U DON'T LIKE AEON IT'S BC UR RACIST AND/OR SEXIST'#'ADA IS THE MOST INTERESTING CHARACTER IN RE U JUST DON'T WANNA SEE IT'#it's a karma bomb 25 years in the making #EAGLEONE FANDOM HOW WE FEELIN #WE ACTUALLY WON LMAO WE ACTUALLY KNOCKED AEON OUT OF THE CANON AND TOOK ITS PLACE #and cleon fandom.........#grips ur shoulder........#i'mma say it #i'mma just come out and say it #it should've been you #we shall rule in your honor #but you should have been the ones to take this throne

friends are currently debating whether 'lost in the citadel' or 'montero (call me by your name)' is the better solphisto song and here are the main points for each side of the argument:

"lost in the citadel works for both perspectives and their tragic yuri romance" (lines 'i need time to get up and get off the floor / i need time to realise that i can't be yours' given as main example) - jo

vs

"montero cos those two definitely want to f-" - james (perhaps better known as captain bhole)

#on a more serious note jo's point did make me a little insane #again: the line 'i need time to get up and get off the floor / i need time to realise that i can't be yours'#this is so solomon-trying-to-recover-from-mephisto's-perceived-abandonment coded #but it is also so mephisto-unsure-of-how-to-go-forward-after-disappearing-on-solomon-for-millenia coded #obey me solomon #jtta mephisto #solphisto #there were arguments to be made for some of the other songs too but these were the main contenders #personally i also nominated life after salem #it feels like something solomon would listen to that abandonment aftermath once he's hit the bitter anger stage of grief #(at least he would have if music recordings had been invented and also lil nas x had been born back then)#i just feel in my gut that he went full teenage-girl-after-first-break-up for a period afterwards #(the other nominee was 'thats what i want' for the time they had together before mephisto left but that one was less talked about)#you know i didn't realise it until i went back and re-did some stuff but solphisto ended up with such Divorced vibes #believe it or not i didn't actually intend for them to be romantically involved when i first wrote their backstory #(you can see that in the first asks proposing the pairing i was kinda hesitant lol)#but looking back. the tragic yuri was always meant to be #to the anon who first called them yuri btw: you've changed my life

vincent and the doctor is arguably the best eleven episode (that or a christmas carol imo) but the god complex is the episode that truly encapsulates the era and all the delicious little fucked up themes in there. it's about vanity it's about cowardice it's about how eleven famously just picks these people up and needs to be worshipped as the king of silly fun guys to keep going because if that stops he's gotta reckon with the grief that tore his last two regenerations to pieces. it's about having to reckon with it anyway

#again if you look at the five stages of grief with nine being anger and ten being bargaining (because he is. constantly)#eleven's all about denial. and everything after this point is what happens when you stop living in denial

blue period: chapter 63 - summer vacation part 9

#blue period #blue period chapter 63 spoilers #bp #since wha's newest chapter wasn't on kmanga i found out bp was and got all caught up and omg.... yamaguchi does it again!!!#this latest arc i was trying to figure out what she wanted to say and this chapter really brought it all together #whenever yatora gets an epiphany it's always gonna be a bombass page loooool #these panels are such simple and obvious statements but i'm just floored by how wonderfully sensei lets characters process grief #ofc yakumo's 'baggage' is going to be huge just like everything he does with his big personality and big canvases #and it's going to be different from momo and hacchan and for yatora who's only seen it from an outside perspective #but that doesn't mean those emotions (even if they are nameless) shouldn't be shown and tapped into if they can help with coping!!#there's honestly so much more i can say but i love how they're all at different stages of grief and trying to navigate and be selfish w it!

Stages?

👀

STAGES IS MY BABYYYYY i love writing about grief and loss of self, and how to cope with that. C!Dream is perfect for that type of analysis. It started bc I really wanted a way to explore dream and bads relationship and their similarities. They both lost their families and both believe that what happened to them was mostly self inflicted. there's a lot to explore there. And of course I love rivals duo and also wanted to write a scenario where techno isn't able to repay the favor. And, ya know, healing and growing together is such a good trope.

I already have the first chapter posted on my AO3 but I've written so much for this fic but still never managed enough to finish another full chapter ughhughhuh. I've also posted some of this fic here but there are so many nuggets I've written that I'd love to share (sorry all my excerpts are so long 😭😭)

"I can barely walk, I can't fight-! I'm helpless. I'm at everyone's mercy and I hate it." His hands are shaking, the pencil moving like a record needle— up and down and up and down— in his weak grasp. Dream wants to steady it but can't, hasn't been able since Quackity's first visit, and he hates that too. His body isn't his anymore. It's a malfunctioning tool, but there's no fixing it. No quick repair. There's no fixing him.

Nothing can cure him, not potions, not time, not XD. He's broken, plain and simple. And all that's left is crossed wires.

A hand lays over his own and Dream looks up into Techno's eyes. His hand still tremors underneath the warm grasp, but it hurts less, now.

"You're not helpless, Dream. You're not. You're just changed, and I know that hurts. And I know I can't fix that but let me make it a little easier for you." His voice chokes on the last syllable, the emotion making it crack.

Sweat pools on the back of Dream's neck as he quickly adverts his eyes. A million thoughts run through his head, seeing Techno's care so plainly on display. He can't bring himself to pull away though.

"I don't get it." It's an admission he wouldn't make normally, but Dream wants to understand at least this about Techno, if nothing else. "You've more than repaid the favor, you don't owe me anything anymore."

"Yes, I do." Techno says, so quietly Dream is half convinced he didn't hear it at all, before Techno continues as if he hadn't said anything to begin with. "When are we just going to admit we're friends, Dream? We can be that to each other, you know."

Now, he does pull away, just barely. Their hands touch still, if only slightly, and the contact burns.

"Fine," Techno speaks, not with anger or frustration. "I'm doing it because I'm selfish. I like having you around, and keeping you healthy makes that easier. Not to mention you're skinny enough to be one of Phil's scarecrows. We can hang you out in the fields and you'd scare all the crows off, nice and easy. That's why I'm doing this, for the good of my crops."

Dream furiously ignores Techno's smug smile when that draws a laugh out of him, but it doesn't get rid of the pit in his stomach. Dream knows what happens to his friends.

He doesn't want that for Techno.

#root writes #c!dream #c!techno #c!rivals #rivals duo #dreblr #my BABYYYYYYYY #I had started to write stages when I was going through one of the worst depressive episodes of my life #and every plan and goal I had for myself had gone out the window and suddenly I didn't recognize myself anymore #I had no idea what I was going to do or be or how I would get past it #and it's taken years of struggling and fucking up to even get to a place where I'm comfortable again. where I have room to breathe #i still have a long long way to go and recovery is a huge task #and I wanted to capture all of that into my writing #the confusion hurt defeat hopelessness. the grief of it all. cdream is a really good vector for that #especially the idea that someone as fucked up as him can learn to live again then so can I.#day by day babyyy #Also just realizing ur not who you used to be and ur not who you wanted to be and you can never be either is such a painful feeling #grieving who you used to be and grieving who you almost were. and you'll never be either ever again.#we can never go back we can never go back ect and so on
