Me, plunking Stinky Bastard Man’s carrier on the counter: hi he’s here for shots and a nail trim and he’ll need to be sedated

Nurse: Are you sure? We can try-

Me: he needs to be sedated

Nurse: Well, it’ll take longer-

Me: he needs to be sedated, he will try to rip your face off

Nurse: Well we’ll try without first and we’ll let you know if we need to sedate

Me, watching her carry him away: you will need to sedate him

Nurse, coming back 10 minutes later clutching her hand: so, we will need to sedate him

Me:

I like to think that Luffy from One Piece has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. (a poem)

I like to think that, for all his invulnerability, Luffy is also just a boy.

I like to think that somewhere on the Going Merry is a nest composed of pillows roughly sewn from old sailcloth softened by the sea breeze and the sun. Every one of the Straw Hat Crew knows whose nest it is, and when he’s in it, because someone installed a hook for him to hang his hat on.

I like to think that sometimes his impossible stretchiness stretches too much and he has a hard time pulling it all the way back in, so he curls into a little rubber ball under a pile of heavy blankets.

I like to think that he hurts, not the anime kind of hurt, but the real kind of hurt, the hurt of joints grinding like rusted chains, coming undone like poorly-tied knots.

I like to think that the sway of the sea is soothing, but sometimes it’s too much, and just when he’s starting to feel better, just when he gets his feet under him again, a wave hits and he falls back down, falls down hard, and then he gets angry, not the anime kind of angry, but the real kind of angry, the kind of angry only we know, we whose bodies disappear when we need them most; the angry of shattered glass against a wall, of wordless, back-throat screaming, of hot tears making it down to the lips and drowning us. When it’s over, when he’s softly snoring and still,

I like to think that he dreams of flying.

I like to think that, quietly, his friends clean up the broken glass.

I like to think that someone brushes the hair back from his face, and

I like to think that maybe, sometimes, they just sit with him.

That would be nice, I think. To have someone to keep watch. To be so trusting, so open, so unafraid.

If I had a nickel for every crabby fictional character whose cheeks I've smooshed in my imagination...I could probably buy a very nice dinner

I hope the bitter cynical lonely fictional character knows that i love them

The reason i find the concept of Thrawn and Ezra on a forced roadtrip through Deep Space so FUCKING funny is bc they belong in entirely different genres. Thrawn's like a morally grey magnificent bastard straight out of Game of Thrones while Ezra's basically a shonen anime protagonist. It would literally be like Tywin Lannister was forced to go on a life changing field trip with Ash Ketchum

Okay, this is pretty incredible. A 3D artist, consulting scholars and archaeologists, worked for a year and a half in Blender to create a reconstruction of pre-Columbian Tenochtitlán, complete with the surrounding landscape. It’s staggeringly beautiful, and—at least to me—gives a wonderful impression of the city as a place where people worked and lived and worshiped

Awesome tips! Will definitely be implementing them. 😊

On a (long, unnecessary, God of War Ragnarok specific) separate note...why does this perfectly describe Thor (and Magni...and Modi...and Sif...and Thrúd)

Thor deflecting his Odin-induced self loathing by pretending to be arrogant and self-assured, then tearing his sons down with him ("You see that? Real god stuff." Vs. "Don't you know...what I've done?!" He knows the atrocities he committed are just that–atrocities beyond reckoning, beyond imagination...beyond forgiveness, deep down in his own heart)...

Magni fighting (true) rumors of his being a Jotun bastard (born out of wedlock to Thor and Jarnsaxxa, according to the Eddas) by trying to be the perfect Aesir warrior and son...

Modi fighting the self-loathing Thor projects onto him by being overconfident and cocky, seeking attention for his strengths while also wallowing in his weaknesses and cowardice...

Sif's apparent perfectionism, the high standards she holds herself to as an Aesir...and as a mother trying to make up for a lifetime of being a drunkard and an abuser...

And Thrúd...fighting to be the good that comes out of all this trauma. Fighting to live up to her father's legacy, whatever good he left behind. Fighting to get out of the shadow of her brothers' sins. Fighting to live up to her mother's expectations while also following her own path.

....phew

Hey I’ve been struggling with developing a character’s inferiority complex. Do you have any tips on ways to show not tell this?

How to write an inferiority complex

An inferiority complex can be described as a chronic low self-esteem, a consistent feeling of inadequacy.

Causes:

a low status in the social hierarchy

specific aspects about themself (physical or something else) that are looked down upon in society

being talked down on a lot

a lack of parental acceptance

failing to live up to high expectations put upon them

not reaching a goal they decided on themself

How to show a character's inferiority complex:

People act differently with this diagnosis, sometimes also depending on the situation and the person they are with. Here are some ideas.

show them focussing on negative aspects a lot

not being able to see it when something did work out well for them

talking badly about themself

withdrawing from friends and family

not being able to take a compliment or criticism

demeaning other's as a way to make other's feel as bad as they do

trying to get attention and even pity

can be shown through perfectionism

and not being able to cope well if something does not fit into the standard they have

I hope this helps you out!

I'm still chugging along with Clan Djarin because Season 3 Isn't Real and My Timeline Is because Mand'alor!Din is too good a character arc to be wasted

the mando fandom is so dead it's genuinely saddening to see. season 3 really got us all turned off. i barely see any mando content on my dash anymore, and that's like- the whole reason why i started the blog in the first place. honestly depressing and disturbing
