#[[ not that she's ever gonna admit it ]]

[aroanthy]

kiryuu sibling stasis post-32 is so interesting to me. nanami tries to leave and is (temporarily but also, crucially, violently) prevented from doing so by touga and akio. after this experience she puts distance between herself and them: she leaves touga’s phone in the car, she resigns from the student council (though she dons her old uniform still), she repeatedly dismisses and undermines the authority of the rose code, of end of the world, of akio, of touga. but she’s still in ohtori, isn’t she? uncomfortable with the idea of leaving, uncertain if it’s really possible. she tried before, and it hurt her. deeply. it’s so interesting to me, nanami’s agency and how she limits her exertion of it after 32, when she realises it for what it is. contrast that with touga, who accepts this weird stalemate between them, who is, really, uninterested in having any relationship of any kind with nanami if he can’t gain something from her. he’s very passive with her after 32, compared to the passivity he’d always feigned towards her before in order to stoke reactions from her and then exploit them. i was thinking about how touga has always been able to sever his relationship with nanami, but chosen not to; first out of a sense of obligation (‘we should live to help each other’) then a realisation of how that could be exploited. i was thinking about how nanami has never realised her ability to leave, in part because it is limited by touga and the harm he does her. i was thinking about the desperation and confusion akio calls out to anthy with as she leaves. i was thinking about how different that is to the kiryuus’ strange semi-breakdown; touga doesn’t want or need nanami, and nanami might love her brother but she cannot trust him or feel safe around him, doesn’t want to see him anymore; she’s itching to leave, and just a little scared (you know, because last time she tried that her brother assaulted her), and he’s not doing anything because ignoring her means he doesn’t have to deal with the emotions of her leaving or staying. something something gendered power dynamics something something tragic siblings

#local kiryuu sibling enjoyer has thoughts about them #i wrote this like three days ago but it’s getting posted now i have to speak my truth #touga loves a bit of inaction #nanami doesn’t but what the fuck else is she gonna do?? be brave? she tried that already #and she WILL try it again and i don’t think touga will try particularly hard to stop her #i think he might try a little but in doing so he’ll just become more aware of how much he doesn’t want to do that #and is only doing it bc of a vague sense of obligation to a perspective on life that he’s already questioned a la utena #im just. i have so many feelings about them. i bet none of you were aware of that fact already #i am once again wondering: does touga love nanami? what does that mean for each of them? #and im concluding: i really don’t think he does #i think he’s felt obligation to her and turned bitter towards that emotion and her in turn #i think he has no idea how to feel about her so he ignores the problem and exploits HER feelings as he thinks he understands them #until he realises that he doesn’t and has to deal (a little bit) with the ramifications of that #touga and anthy when nanami makes them self reflect. or swagever. the 32 way. neither of them would ever admit this but it’s true #dais.txt #her tragedy her triumph

"Rhea not noticing that Cyril can't read is proof that she doesn't care for him enough to notice something so obvious" tell me you've never met an illiterate person without saying you've never met an illiterate person

#a shit ton of people who are genuinely illiterate would literally rather die than ever admit they're illiterate #and it is STUPID easy to hide that you can't read; you see someone nod at a piece of paper you AREN'T gonna think they aren't really readin #like that is NOT the assumption you're going to make #like it was literally chance that Lysithea happened to see him *by himself* looking confused at the list in their B support #and Cyril's ''I don't want to be seen as incompetent for a job'' reasoning is LITERALLY what a lot of illiterate people think #and just. one last thing. Shamir is the one that takes Cyril under her wing directly and she also didn't know he couldn't read #but no one is on her ass about that despite her almost certainly spending WAY more time with him than Rhea

Lmao. For someone w/ such crippling perfectionism, Bakugo absolutely hates it when you’re mean about something you made. He’ll fight and fight and fight you over it until you at the very least admit you did your best and it’s okay for him to like it in your place. 

And it’s a little hard to believe him. He can’t fake a smile for shit nor lighten his voice much less... express things with any couth. YET it’s honestly very sweet the way he pouts, crosses his arms and refuses to change his stance about something very clearly... wrong. Something he very honestly wouldn’t like if he made it himself. 

Snatching the lopsided crocheted hat right out of your hands, putting it on his head, and refusing to give it back. Eating a slice and a half of deflated soufflé then having leftovers the next day. Keeping the shitty (joke) birthday card you made him before you were even dating at the bottom of his bedside table dresser until the moths start to eat it (and even then).

#bakugo #lmaoooo i gave my roommate my good broccoli asdkjfasdj rip #she was like 'we dont have any vegetables!' and i was like. 'yeah we do. mine.' and then i was like gammit. #now id feel bad if i didnt offer her any #why she is cooking at 11 pm... who knows #anyway .. actually im not gonna describe this further it's too specific in my mind #but the fact he sees literally nothing wrong with .. idk whatever it is you've done... it's genuine #and he doesnt ever want u to feel the way he did #just be like 'deku made this.' and he'd admit it tho #LOL #lmao this is why me and him can't br*ed bc our children would be nervous perfectionist WRECKS #caitie post #gen

[sketching-shark]

Saw the expression meme. How about 2 7 11 and 15 for Wukong and his kids? You can decide who gets what expression between them. :3

Incredibly sketchy, but here's the immediate Sun family in all their expression-filled glory! From top to bottom we've got Sun Wukong, Luohou, Yuebei Xing, and Jidu. And thanks for the request anon; this is messy, but it was very fun :3

#anon answered #journey to the south #sun wukong #monkey king #luohou #yuebei xing #jidu #have to admit this is the happiest I've been with one of my yuebei xing designs #gonna try experimenting more with the idea she has craniofacial duplication #also don't be fooled by the expressions #jidu is just as silly as luohou #but both are still Mt. Huaguoshan's increasingly powerful and increasingly shrewd princes #though as male macaques there's still the expectation that they'll leave some day & join a different mountain/troop #tbh they're kind of excited for those adventures #while Sun Wukong is privately dreading the empty nest syndrome lol #well his daughter yuebei xing's still hanging around her natal group & coming into her own as one of the leading ladies #and he's still grandpa for an ever-growing number of young monkeys #hmmm now this makes me wish there was a jttw/jtts retelling that deals with yaoguai politics

[countlessrealities]

For a moment, she's left speechless. She can't believe her ears.

When she first caught the random interview online, her first reaction was annoyance. They know that she's dating Charlie, why would anyone think that she would cheat? And with Adam of people. It's demented.

The comment about how he would "break her" had her rolling her eye, but it's quickly forgotten because of what comes next.

"Did he seriously invite people to look into his real crush just to defend my honour?"

As the shock starts to fade, a little grin curls her lips. Maybe there is hope for that idiot, after all. And that's what she's choosing to focus, not the hint of warmth that touches her chest, a feeling that belongs to another life.

I ended up needing to decant the exhaust dye when I put the next 2 ounces/56 grams in, which I still have not added back in, and the new fleece is already dark with color. I'm going to let it cook overnight regardless just because I think it's good practice but wow, buckthorn berries are crazy potent for a natural dye. This was like one scant double handful (I didn't weigh them RIP) of dried berries and I'd be surprised if I got less than 6 ounces (130 grams) of dyed wool out of it.

#sorry if the conversions are wrong i often check but im too tired #doing them in my head #hope it doesnt rain tonight i want to get some more from the ground tomorrow if i can #i also read someone who took the skin from fresh ones and got blue #i dont think theres any fresh ones left at all at this point but im keeping it in mind for next summer #she said it was incredibly time consuming though. coming from a spinner and natural dyer you know thats gonna be rough #so intruiging though #ive been trying to see if anything has been eating them #the squirrels dont nor do the crows. not much else in this part of the city #man the squirrels have been acting weird too #they keep laying down ? have been awash with squirrels everywhere ive ever lived and ive never seen them lay down #until now. bizarre. it was two different ones in quick succession #anyway. i do spend a lot of time staring at like 3 trees i will admit #whenever im home alone pretty much. not that often maybe #natural dye #buckthorn berries

Couldn't play again today so i'm still thinking about Carver sorry not sorry <3

Anyways. Thinking about how Aveline is theoretically perfect to fill in the space of tank in their defence when Carver is down, but it's all Wrong. All the wrong moves and timing and signals and it completely throws Liam and Bethany off

#they do eventually become a good team but at first it is incredibly hard for them to adjust #laya plays dragon age #(technically not true rn but im keeping it in that tag for continuity lol) #but yeah. i imagine they think carver is only knocked out so they try to lure the darkspawn away from him #so leandra can check on him/ he has space to recover #dont think they fully realise/ process/ admit that carver isnt gonna get back up Ever until flemeth confirms it #(liam gets mad that she isnt even Trying to help him. what youre powerful enough to turn into a dragon but cant heal?) #anyways. hate how meaningless the twin's death feels on a first playthrough but love how devastating it is on replays <3

[androidboy]

i love my gf dearly. but she is very much often oblivious to things and still not well informed in how to talk to someone who has struggled with eating disorders and body dysmophia for over a decade

#we had a conversation the other night and she asked if i wanted to get summer bod ready with her #and it’s been pvp me vs brain ever since. at the point where i must admit i was triggered #i knew when she said it 😭 i was like oh no this is gonna be bad #so i tried to steer away from the convo and be like ‘ehh that’s not really a good idea for someone who’s had my type of food relationship’ #and she was like ‘oh no but it’s not about eating! it’s about etc etc etc’ #and every comment she’s made about me bein soft in the tum is back and the thought loop of #wondering/ knowing i’d be more attractive to her if i lost weight again #fighting it so hard and i am not winning this battle and she’s feeling really shitty about stuff rn #so i don’t wanna say anything #ed tw

[munamania]

ok im a really chill and normal person and i get over things and am well adjusted but take a walk with me here. just give me my time to complain when im not in the absolute fucking trenches. and yes i believe i suffered more than those in trench warfare. it was literally a lesbian situationship with a bistraight girl come on. just. magenta choppy shag with the roots coming in. camo cargo pants black t shirt with red lettering and striped long sleeve (sign someone likes music. confirmed). lip ring big black stud earrings and nails. red docs. i think lesbians should be allowed to kill one dyke baiter in their lifetime idc

#and now we're gonna get into some quiet parts and youre just gonna let me have this #i. am so sick. first of all it was kinda funny how people ik ended up sorta surrounding her. felt good. but like we've shared a space #together since everything. i can like be in her presence it's seriously fine. that said. i do sometimes miss her #i say this after going through the really hating her guts period bc of her evil evil evil ways. and feeling like she's lame as hell bc she #s. but i mean it's me talking i have my problems too. i Hate the way we always so naturally act in sync. and i hate that we've both picked #each others' brains for hours so it's like. i knew you once and now we can't even look each other in the eye and that just really sucks #and i feel like. not that i strictly believe in these things. but we were sort of twin flames. i largely suffered for like. basically #falling in love w her. and i know i didn't leave as much of a mark. but i still hope it sucked a little for her #and i'll admit i think it'd be some sort of miracle if we could ever talk civilly. unfortunately we work in two ways #literally behaving in Ways and borderline fucking or not speaking. so. here we are #and i already humiliatingly tried to extend an olive branch this summer so im not gonna be fucking stupid. yk #but GOD how annoying. i did talk to situationship today and we were relatively normal so at least that's not deathly awkward #it's still. definitely um. stiff. but not terrible #i need to get to the club. pretend theres a cig emoji im on desktop rn #sorry for this. #film girl saga

I think rose deserves to be COVERED in body glitter. alllll over but especially on her eyes and cheeks and shoulders. she smiles and it's like she literally lights up cause her face is shimmering with the stuff. and then she should absolutely smack some on the doctor

#ten would grumble and groan but go out and love it more than he will ever admit to her #nine would also grumble and groan and not love it but love that she's loving it so it doesn't even matter #jack would lose his mind #someone should draw this #EYE should draw this #I probably won't but I'm gonna be thinking about it fvnjvnf #someone do something with this pls xD #rose tyler #doctor who

I honestly just wanted to write Imogen getting bullied by the Mantis Crew, but this is her attempt at making friends. First time she’s tried. She wasn’t a fan.

“You know,” Imogen said as she sauntered into the Mantis crew’s hideout. Cal was the first to react, igniting his lightsaber and shifting into the defensive stance of a Jedi. The ghost of an amused smile curled at the corner of Imogen’s mouth. She remained nonchalant. “Despite your very best efforts, it was not that difficult to find you.”

If anything, Cal tensed further at the sight of her familiar face. “We weren’t hiding from you.”

“Have you been waiting for another opportunity to challenge me?”

“No, we just have bigger problems than a failed Inquisitor.”

She ignored the slight and stepped forward. The Jedi mirrored her advance, his blue blade humming excitedly. “And yet here I am before you once more.” 

“What do you want?” 

“Contrary to your perception of me, Cal, I am not here to fight you.” In an effort to lower his guard, Imogen placed her hands behind her back.  

“My perception of you?” Cal asked, exasperated. “Exactly which betrayal and murder attempt did I misinterpret?” 

Imogen resisted the urge to roll her eyes. His dramatics were unnecessary. “That was a long time ago.” 

“Not nearly long enough for me to forgive and forget. Not without one hell of a good reason to trust you. And it’s going to take a lot, Imogen.”

“My priorities have shifted. It may benefit our interests if we again become… allies,” she said, narrowly avoiding choking on the word. Imogen couldn’t quite bring herself to suggest friendship. She still had much to learn when it came to her romantic connection with Bix, navigating a whole new dynamic didn’t appeal to her.

Cal shook his head. “Fool me once.”

“It’s been more than once,” Imogen pointed out smugly. 

“I’ll ask again. What do you want?” 

“I have joined the Rebel Alliance.” 

Greez, who had previously remained as silent as the rest of the crew throughout the tense exchange, released a hearty laugh. “Here I thought you didn’t have a sense of humor, but I gotta give it to you, that was a good one!” 

Cal noted Imogen’s steely expression. “She isn’t joking.”

“I’m not,” she confirmed.

“Why?” Urgency willed the Jedi closer to his old adversary. “What’s your angle? What do you have planned?”

Imogen kept her body still. “I’ve told you. A lot has changed, Cal, and because of that I must reevaluate who I consider to be an enemy.”

“That’s not good enough.”

Irritation shot up Imogen’s spine. Her patience at his persistent questioning wore thin. She knew Cal wouldn’t just openly accept a change of heart, but she didn’t feel comfortable revealing the details of her new outlook. Imogen Kol would not willingly expose her neck to a fool like Cal Kestis. Though… she had to acknowledge he wasn’t entirely foolish. Otherwise she wouldn’t be here. 

“I’m not who I was,” she said. 

“You want me to just trust you when you won’t even trust me enough to give a real reason.” Cal scoffed and finally put his lightsaber away. “You’ve wasted your time coming here. Whatever you want, I can’t help you.”

Imogen should have left it at that, but a part of her actually wanted this to work. “You’re right, I don’t trust you. Not yet. We both have things we need to protect and I cannot risk –” She had enough self restraint to cut the sentence off before she showed her hand, but the sudden intensity her tone had taken caused her face to flush. 

Weakness, her thoughts bitterly chastised. 

“Can’t risk what?” Cal pressed. 

“Not what,” Merrin chimed in. Imogen often forgot about the Zabrak’s existence until she spoke. “Who. She has someone.”

Imogen sharply glared at her. Merrin stood unfazed by the way the former Inquisitor’s eyes burned with hatred. She stared back as if she had simply recited an obvious fact. It made Imogen fume. “Perhaps I should have cut out your tongue when last we met. There is still time.”

Merrin ignored the threat and looked to Cal. “That’s why she’s here. She’s fallen in love and has dared to consider fighting for something other than herself.”

“I’ve already fought for her,” Imogen fiercely snapped. 

Another misstep. 

The outburst all but confirmed Merrin’s accusation. Imogen didn’t believe that Cal or the crew posed a threat to Bix directly, but she learned from her time as an enforcer for the Empire that to surrender the knowledge of what matters most is to guarantee it will be used against you. With all the enemies she has made, it only takes one loose end to lead back to her relationship. Cal may be a valuable asset in protecting what she holds dear. Or he could be a fatal mistake. Imogen originally intended to draw a definitive conclusion to that uncertainty before her true intentions had been revealed. 

“Tell me about her,” Cal said. 

Imogen answered immediately and firmly. “No.”

He shrugged. “You want me to believe you? That’s my price.”

“You are asking me to freely confess the one thing that can truly hurt me.”

“I’m asking you to trust me with it.”

#my writing #oc insp: imogen kol #she'd never ever admit it but she does view Cal as a friend lmao #god I can't wait for survivor cause she's just gonna be a menace #i don't know how yet but her fav hobby is ruining his day because they're besties #but it's also gonna be nice to write them being actual friends too #ya know once they get past the decade of trying to kill each other #I'm gonna give them friendship bracelets #brotp: a force to be reckoned with
