personally i dont agree with the manhwas interpretations for the reason why ludger didnt seek help from casey when the missing cases first popped up (ie. he couldnt trust her cuz she's closely associated with the police) since it feels like they are seriously downplaying their friendship, but on the other hand... the angst of mistakenly distrusting someone who has unwavering trust in you, and then shattering that trust with your own two hands.

[shaking and biting] but what does it MEAN. what does it SAY what is the THEME
#akkdlflf i watched this long lecture video abt austrian national identity and the researcher said 'the austrians are quite adept at#selling the austro hungarian monarchy back to tourists incl ones from former parts of the empire... but even in the imperial nostalgia they#don't want back multilingualism or multiculturalism or any of what it actually was'#(it was a lot abt the way in which austria deals with orban's hungary in and after the 2015 refugee crisis)#ajskgldo and that just made me think about... how pointless some things feel. both in fiction and in academic research#you CAN say meaningful things about almost any topic and with almost any argument! but in some strands of history trying to 'uncover events'#with no exploration of the context and what it all MEANS and what the things we think about it mean#is the most prevalent and popular type of research :/ like there's a reason i overrely on hamann's bio of rudolf because her central thesis#is that he wasnt a crazy murderer but someone with a forward-thinking political vision that went as far as suggesting a sort of 'proto-EU'#among other things#so like. she is looking at what it all MEANS!!!#and like. my favourite todolf fanfics are also like that 😂😭 perhaps not abt politics but about suffering and power dynamics and guilt#same for original fiction. i'm never happy if a book i'm reading isnt saying something#or then again - this is more personal pickiness but. they should also be saying something NEW AND INTERESTING#a lot of the time. sometimes if you have a fave trope you can just enjoy it over and over#but idk even tropey stuff can say things#ajlsldkfkf i'm just so tired of kitsch in all its forms and also of bad science

I find it so interesting that despite using Latin surnames, Muir doesn't care about gender agreement until it comes to Kiriona.
Harrow and Ianthe both have masculine surnames (Nonagesimus and Tridentarius), as do most characters with Latin name endings (us, a, um), but Kiriona? Oh there's something very interesting there.
In Ancient Rome, male citizens were commonly distinguished by three part names: praenomen, nomen, and cognomen. Since I'm still feeling festive, take Gaius Iulius Caesar. His praenomen is Gaius, and is equivalent to a "first name." Iulius is his nomen, and tells which "gens" or tribe he belonged to, in this case the Iulia. And his cognomen is his personal last name, which is what he was known by in public life. There are a bunch of other names that were also used (why keep anything simple), but it's important to note that women, generally, did not have three part names, and were known by their fathers' gens names, feminized, as well as their cognomen (also feminized).
So as "Kiriona" is Maori for "Gideon," it ties Kiriona to her heritage; a gens name telling where she and Jod came from. And "Gaia" is the feminine form of John's "cognomen."
Which stands out first because Kiriona is not particularly feminine, and that could be Muir's attempt to give her that connection (which might have been harder otherwise since she's a prince now), but because her name is also the only one that follows Roman naming conventions, it ties her to him in entirety. It's not just that she's John's daughter, it's that she has no identity outside him now; she is him. A piece of him more than a full version of herself.

@patrichornkissed THANK you for this WONDERFUL THOUGHT JOURNEY!!! under a cut
who came out first -- matty came out to brady first but brady came out to their parents + young sister first. matty came out to their extended family first but brady came out to all their shared friends first. it absolutely was the most headass competition after that initial fear when brady came out to matty, a couple months after matty came out to her.
not to eldest-daughter code matty but sometimes u set an example for your younger siblings and the things that brady had been wrestling with that felt too big and too much suddenly felt accessible and manageable. once she reconciled that with herself, she came out to matty, and the two of them engaged in the world's stupidest game of one-up-womanship. this caused so many problems in their personal life and they loved every minute of the chaos.
did quinn and brady get married immediately -- SORT OF. they get married when quinn graduates college. childhood sweethearts, broke up in college when quinn went to umich and brady went to a state school. and yk how it goes with teenagers going to college they're like, this CANNOT work bc now we are ADULTS in COLLEGE, we need to SEE OTHER PEOPLE because young love ISN'T REAL, and then brady makes it through one year of college and goes this SUCKS!!! academically and emotionally, drops out after one year. spends a year bouncing around trying to make her life work without quinn and having an low-stakes but meaningless fling with timmy from her beer league team. and her life DOES NOT MAKE SENSE without quinn. so in quinn's junior year she comes back to quinn and is like hello. you are the love of my life. i want to be with you forever. and quinn has been in a strange little polycule with various swedes and americans and he's like ...yeah. no. i miss you too. this is great but it's not right.
and then they're together for the rest of their lives, hanging out and doing whatever. getting married literally like two months after quinn graduates. they spent about five minutes trying to plan a wedding and get bored and annoyed and then handed it off to brady's mom, who has a blast bc she has realized that matty is at least twenty to thirty years off of being functional enough to get married and brady is going to be way less fussy.
important wedding notes because i am an incurable romantic when it comes to parties:
takes place at some random lake in michigan, no one really cares about the ceremony except parents and grandparents, the reception is in a big banquet hall but the afterparty is in a barn, matty and timmy hook up in a random shed, it's magical, everyone has a GREAT time, including matty, up until she hooks up with timmy
elias and brock and thatcher are there, deeply involved in day of wedding prep and making sure everything goes according to plan and they're so helpful and so competent, and no cishet family member realizes they're quinn's ex-polycule for a solid six hours, like until WELL into reception, at which point it's too late for anyone to say anything
the tkachuk sisters are brady's bridesmaids, the hughes bros are quinn's best men. obvi. the hughes bros are the ones crying during brady's deeply stupid vows though
quinn wears a suit and he looks so handsome. brady wears a dress but the hemline is literally mid-thigh and it has no sleeves. she is a bombshell ofc
brady and quinn's first dance is to "suga suga" by baby bash. the closing song in the afterparty (post-reception) is "moment's silence (common tongue)" by hozier which brady picked and quinn didn't look at the lyrics beforehand. and is thankfully too drunk to notice, but luke and taryn do and they're both so stressed out by their older siblings having oral sex that they leave immediately with matty beniers, and josh norris to go sober up in a denny's at like 2am lol.
sorry i know you are anti-marriage, but i love to think about queer weddings bc the only lesbian wedding i've been to was so clean and heterosexual that it makes me actively sad to think about lmao. brady and quinn's wedding is like...bro queer
does matty ever get her shit together -- like. a dozen years in the future after her final trainwreck relationship with leon. it takes a lot of therapy bc while she came out first to brady, she never really felt safe or comfortable as herself around anyone BUT brady. and obvi brady cannot be there every moment of her life. and part of the reason every relationship she's in ends up being kind of a wreck because she hates herself so much but covers it up with so much bravado and big energy and zero honesty or emotional intimacy. like u cannot be inauthentic in a relationship and expect it to work out yk?? but then she meets sasha (i changed my mind, they use any pronouns) who is like ok. i am willing to try this. i am very attracted to you and i could fall in love with you easily. but you NEED to figure your shit out if you want this to work in the long term.
and no one has ever made that kind commitment to matty, so she tries her hardest to reconcile the parts of herself that are ugly and cruel to herself, and turn it into love. and it takes like. over a decade. because she's also a corporate lawyer. but she finally gets there in the end 😭
sasha is quite happy to live in sin for several years lol he grows heirloom vegetables and works on a farm doing most of their farmstand and farmer's market stuff bc they are gentle and kind, but she's also like yeah now that i'm dating someone in corporate law, i do not have to worry that much. so he waits for matty to get right with herself, and she raises some heirloom chickens that matty does his therapy homework with. a fun (???) digression
thank you for asking!!!!! i love them 😭😭😭

so to recap we're going for eyelets to lace the sleeves on
I've settled on CIS DYKES FOR TRANS RIGHTS as the thing to paint on the back and I think I'm gonna see if I can find some rainbow, trans and bi flag pattern ribbon to frame that and I might put some spikes on there too depending on if I think it'll make my backpack uncomfortable
I have several patch ideas for the front and sleeves including
MORE LIFE embroidered in white over an applique red ribbon
QUEER AS IN FUCK YOUR BORDERS embroidered quite big over a bleach painting background of a swallow breaking through barbed wire
FUCK THE FUCKING TORIES obviously
black patch. small white bird flying at the top. At the bottom, in small lowercase, I THINK I'LL CARRY ON
Bi SCUM flag based on a design @lifetheuniverseandnothing did a while back
My classic rainbow FUCK
Stylised cunt overlaid with the words EAT OUT TO HELP OUT
I am toying with some ideas about a removable spiked pauldron, and planning on attaching some miscellaneous D rings bc miscellaneous D rings are nice to have. Also gonna run a chain across the back and probably a couple across the chest, and spikes on the chest pockets. I think I would also like to write things on the sleeves and cuffs.
if I have time around cooking dinner tonight I wanna mark out and pierce the spots for the eyelets (haven't got enough to actually eyelet them yet), cut the arms off, and make a start on the bleach painting. things like the studding, chains, D rings and patches are all long term stuff but it would be nice to get a bit stuck in while I'm hyped up.

I hate society and how it treats and categorises (non-familial) relationships.
Society says "only platonic, romantic, and sexual" and completely ignores everything else. Says those are the only types of attraction you can feel. No nuance, no nothing. It all can be categorized into those categories. Not to mention of course it feels like platonic ones must always come second to romantic/sexual ones.
That's cool and all, but what if I have attraction that doesn't fit any of those things? What then?
Let me be clear, I know love isn't always romantic. But that's what the term is mainly connected with and I don't want that confusion even if I clarify it. But my view on relationships and attraction are so far disconnected from society's norm that if I try to talk about how I feel I'd always have to cater how I explain what I'm feeling to the people who follow the norm. And that's the problem. I can't.
Society has no words for how I feel. How can I describe what I feel without being forced to say "love" ? I don't want to use that word because of its connotations, but society doesn't care about anything else so we only have "love." How am I supposed to explain what I feel without the fear of it being misinterpertated? As an example: How do you tell someone that you want to be physically intimate with them (hugging, cuddling, kissing; all traditionally romantic things) and would also partake in sexual activities with them despite not being romantically or sexually attracted to them and not feeling that you need to be in a relationship with them to do those things?
And of course fuck monogamy and exclusivity being the standard.* Can I not show my affection to friends in relationships? Obviously I understand that they may be uncomfortable/not want to do some of the things I previously mentioned but why something not inheritly romantic/sexual like physical contact have to be restricted for people in relationships?
(*If people prefer or are happier this way, good for them. What I'm saying is I wish open relationships were more normalized, not that everyone has to be poly.)
I'm just tired of trying to fit myself into society's strict boxes. I don't want to try and explain what I feel as "romantic," "platonic," or "sexual." I need words outside of "love" to explain deep connections to people not associated with being platonic or romantic. I wish it was normal for people to be more open like that. I'm tired of trying to fit in just in general. I don't feel human. I feel like an alien among what is supposedly my own species.
Derailing a bit from the main topic but: Society just wasn't made for people like me. If you don't fit an overly specific image of "normal" society just says to go fuck yourself. I know this post is mainly geared for a-specs, but this last part can apply to basically anyone.
We are not obligated to fit ourselves into those boxes. But it's really hard to reject societal norms and feel comfortable doing so.

Had this elaborate weird GoW dream where I was arranged to marry Týr, then helped him in his plans but had to erase my memories of it all to keep me safe in case Odin managed to capture me.
Imagine Týr working with one of the Giants to use a combination of Aesir, Vanir, and Giant magic to prevent Odin from easily figuring out how to unravel the spell. But this goes VERY wrong, maybe due to Odin or his allies/minions interrupting the spell. Týr's s/o now has no memories at all, with just vague intuition and flashes here and there when she sees or hears something or someone familiar. Týr is kidnapped but manages to send his beloved somewhere secret while they're unconscious.
They don't know where they are or who they are, but they manage to remember little bits over time after coming across the Giant prophecies and statues of the gods. They knew Týr, and they think they were very close with each other. And when Odin finds them years later, they're still not entirely all there. But with Týr imprisoned, Odin takes on his form and--once Kratos and Atreus "rescue" him--he insists on finding his beloved so they can't fall into Odin's clutches.
Kratos and Atreus manage to find Týr's amnesiac s/o, and when they all return to Sindri's home, s/o can't help but feel strange about reuniting with their husband. They hoped they'd get their memories back entirely after seeing him again, and while some DO come back it isn't that clear. He's very kind and warm to them, but whenever he talks to them or touches them...something feels off about it. Would the Týr in their scattered memories really say or do something like this?
Tyr admits he'd changed drastically due to the trauma he endured as Odin's prisoner. But he's so happy to finally be with them again. He spent so many years worrying about his beloved, hoping he was able to keep them safe and far from Odin. And now, they're together again! With his and his allies' help, their memories (and secrets) can definitely be restored somehow.
I'm just imagining the fucked up aspect of Odin disguised as Týr using his son's wife to try and find out what Týr's been hiding. And at first it's just a strategy to get what he wants, but a part of him (a part he would call "soft" and "sentimental") would enjoy having a wife again. And this one's much more compliant and trusting thanks to their amnesia and dependence on him to get their memories back; plus, they're a good fighter, and knowledgable of some magic and other things not even he knew about. Týr must've inherited his father's attraction to intelligence, among other things. Odin has no doubt that Týr's s/o taught things to Týr the same way his Frigg taught him, but unlike Frigg, Týr's wife couldn't betray him.
Hm. His main priority is getting the mask, but enjoying a happy marriage/do-over courtship for the first time in years is a nice bonus. He keeps finding ways that they remind him of his great love Fjörgyn. Despite his hatred for the Giants, he loved her more than anyone in the Realms; and despite how much he hates Týr for betraying him worse than a son ever should betray his family, his wife is so loyal. That kind of love is a precious thing, and if the real Týr can't experience it, then Odin is happy to do so in his place. It's an extra punishment to his traitorous son on top of everything else.
Also: Brok finds all the affection and cutesy glances and all form of romantic shit on Tyr's part to be vomitous and overly sappy. The fuckin god of war better not bang up him and Sindri's broom closet too bad, but it's not like there's any other place Tyr and his memoryless wife can get up to anything alone. Hell, how d'you give a lady some of your branch when you're the size of a whole fuckin' tree? Freya better know some spells on how to heal a broken pelvis, assuming Tyr isn't as cowardly and peckerless as he acts around the others. Brok just reckons he's lucky most of HIS lady friends were always taller than him, as opposed to the other way round.

To continue building my confidence by actually talking about things that can be disagreed with on this blog...
I feel like the US set an obnoxious precedent with flags by smacking its own flag across *absolutely everything.* It sort of...trivialized allegiance to ideas in a way that was consumer friendly and has led to endless variations of flags across all kinds of different communities. I'm most familiar with lgbt+ flag drama because those are the people I spend most of my time around, but it extends to other groups, too.
For example, I don't like the blue-green color gay flag. I feel like it entirely misses the point of the original flag, which was a list of qualities in gay men that could be celebrated across the board. It didn't need to be masculine coded because being gay was, in itself, subversive to the overarching cultural idea of masculinity.
Another example to do with that is the skin colors addition to the gay flag - I would argue that it should be the goal of people within the gay community to make a point of saying "people of color are included hands down" and take a stand against racism in the community, rather than adding the colors. This creates a sense of wariness. If someone *just* has the rainbow flag up--are they older, are they a gay white supremacist, or do they have a reason like mine not to use it?
To be fair to the other side... I understand the criticisms of the gay men's flag representing everyone, and wanting to find an answer to that by making a new pride flag for gay men specifically. My dislike of certain flags does have an anchor in time: the older a flag is, the more likely I am to be okay with it. I must admit to myself that the only way to build a history around something is to have it exist in the first place. I'm sure gay men were bitching about the rainbow flag's existence for similar reasons back when it was first created.
Beyond that, a lot of my discomfort most likely stems further back to a distaste for modern microidentity politics - I don't feel like there needs to be a label for every sexual and romantic variation on earth because I don't feel like people need to be privy to that information about me from the moment we meet. If I like them well enough and the topic goes there, I'll tell them.
In the long run...I think these flags were supposed to be a declaration of allegiance to community. 'Hey, you who was kicked out from your family for being gay, you who are closeted for fear of rejection...if you see this flag you will find people who will love and hold you as their own.' However, flags have become an allegiance to identity, which I don't believe is as sustainable in the same way.
And I think that was on the US, who portrayed patriotism as the number of flags in your yard and how you defined yourself as a loyal US citizen to be the most important identity one could have.

the hinata kinning is strong tonight
#marzi speaks#once again. shoutout to izuru for calling me out on that enough times for me to realize it’s the truth#crazy thing is i keep finding out how correct it is in different ways#like i realized recently. i have no idea who i am or who i’m supposed to be#i think i know who i wanna be? but i might already be that person and not even know it#and the other night i was sitting there. and i thought ‘who the hell am i.’ and then i realized that’s such a fucking hajime ass thought#identity issues moment. teehee !!#i didn’t… think i had identity issues??? but shit i might !!!#it might be genderfluidity having a moment. it might be stress. it could be anything#anything could be responsible for the way i am. if i would be likely to do anything given the right circumstances#how can i know that any choice i make is truly my own#…i need to go to bed. it might be bedtime#do you see what i MEAN though??? goddamn. i should work on getting a therapy appt set up or smth#on a more lighthearted note the whole hajime kinnie thing is SO funny in hindsight#when i asked izuru why he thought i was a hajime kinnie he just went ‘oblivious and gay. among other things.’#and i said ‘what other things?????’ and he went ‘i’m not gonna bore myself with the details. if anyone would know it’d be me trust me’#and well. shit! a bitch was right and that still irritates me a little. how the fuck did that fucker know that much about me#it is a super funny interaction though. izuru kamukura came to my blog called me a faggot and left. slay
