#GET THIS BOY A SUPPORT SYSTEM

The fact that Main-verse Ooo is as good and as kind as it is (relative to the other universes shown so far, at least, it's obviously not perfect) all because of the same character that starts off as the OG series' antagonist, the person we were made to see as the bad guy (albeit an often ineffectual one) for several seasons, is making me lose my mind.
Imagine finding out the guy you spent your childhood beating up and saving princesses from is in fact a driving catalyst behind you being able to exist, and not only exist but also live in a world that knows what kindness is. All because that man, the same man who you've witnessed do terrible things, once met a little girl and taught her how to be good.
Simon's story really shows us that even if you lose your way and forget how it is to be good yourself, the world keeps the memory for you. That act of love Simon showed Marcy by protecting her and seeing her as more than the monster she thought herself to be created ripples upon ripples, small at first but eventually enough to help give their wreckage of a world—a world that easily could have been forsaken, its goodness overlooked because of its inhospitable remains—a chance to grow into something beautiful. Because of those very same ripples Simon created, the people of Ooo grew up in a world where they know enough about kindness that they were able and willing to spare the 'bad guy' some, to see beyond the wreckage and allow him to grow too.
In saving Marceline, Simon helped to not only to save the world, but also himself.
#fionna and cake#fionna and cake spoilers#adventure time#simon petrikov#ice king#marceline abadeer#simon and marcy#meta#this was just a phone note to get thoughts out of my system but then it came out semi-coherent#so welp guess i'm writing meta now. i'm really in the deep end now. but yeah...Ice King and Simon's story being about the power of kindness#A cruel world requires constant cruelty to be maintained. But kindness? That reaches across time. one act of kindness sparks another#'I need to save you but whose going to save me?' That act of love and compassion is gonna save you ya dingus....eventually#In a less kind world finn and Jake could have watched those tapes about Simon and still decided IK was a hopeless cause.#That he was too far gone to be saved. But they didn't. They chose to treat him nicer and actually be friends with him.#One thing i always loved about IK's story is that he didn't have to completely change himself for people around him to treat him better#They changed their perspective and were kind to him and it was THAT that helped him change. to grow beyond the 'antagonist' role#to quote my go to and all time favourite good place quote:#'the point is people improve when they get external love and support. How can we hold that against them when they don't?'#Arrgh sorry I just always loved Ice King's arc in the show. From pesky antagonist to the person Finn dived into a chaos god to save#(the world's new beginning and its near ending being all because of simon. he has such main character energy and boy does he not want it)#And now we're getting Simon stuff and I'm so normal I'm so normal I'm so normal (<- has never been normal about this character)#(i...i have many MANY drawings of ice king and simon from 2015 and the years after. i was doomed from the start. F&C was the final straw)#(as was reading marcy's secret scrapbook recently...and here i thought i'd truly reached the capacity of hurt i can feel about these two)#Going insane over these last two episodes. 'she didn't have a me'. Fionna and Simon bonding. Gumlee kiss. PETRIGROF BACKSTORY#and the implication that Simon isn't remembering it accurately? Their sweet sounding love song actually foreshadowing their issues?#I am clawing at the walls. thank you AT crew you are enriching the enclosure that is my brain

Having ritsu thoughts
Genuinely such a great character he’s just so funny with his teenage rebellion arc but also he’s kind of a sad character?
Not even talking about his tenuous relationship with mob, but just on how lonely he seems to be?
Like he’s one of the “popular kids” in school, or at least high up on the hierarchy; seen as handsome, smart and athletic, but before he met the awakening lab kids, I don’t think he had any friendships that were shown on screen!
Tumblr media
“Seems a bit hard to get close to” yeowch
And honestly, I’m pretty sure we see Teru and the awakening kids together more than with ritsu!
Not at all discounting shou’s presence, and I’m honestly really glad that the two of them are friends (especially with that one bit of the handbook where they go fishing and just talk about their families? Very sweet) but ritsu seemed to have closed himself off for a very long time
In the show, mob gets this huge circle of friends that he really cares about, but I feel like ritsu is much more the kind of person that puts all his care into a very small group of people
Which is fine on its own, but after the incident when he and mob were little, ritsu was on his own for years, and I know from personal experience that even if you have talents and people that admire you, it doesn’t shake off the feeling of loneliness if you don’t have friends you feel comfortable with
Especially since most of ritsu’s relationships with people that aren’t his brother (which is a whole other mess)are pretty antagonistic for the first good bit of the show
Luckily by the end of the show, it really seems like ritsu fits in with people more, and his closer relationship with mob and shou, as well as a seemingly less stressful student council environment makes him seem more carefree and like the funny middle schooler he actually is

dear lord
#the ways the people misunderstand copyright law#there is no de minimus standard for copyright#NONE#and to say that search engine scraping is the same as scraping for generative AI and therefore fair use... dude no#fair use has to be non competitive with the original rights holder#and generally non commercial#you cannot say in good faith that these plagiarism machines are non competitive#they are actively promoting and going after the ability to make output in a specific artist's style#AND THEN THEY'RE CHARGING PEOPLE MONEY FOR IT#and the ones that aren't /currently/ will be eventually#this isn't a tool for FINDING someone's creative work the way a search engine it#it's a tool for OBSCURING the author's involvement#and then promoting someone saying copyright should only last a decade??? WHAT??#that's shorter than a patent and patents are meant to be the shortest IP term by design#we used to havd shorter copyright terms in this country and guess what? the disneys of the day didn't suffer#the artists were the ones who got screwed over#and to say collective bargaining is going to fix the issue is... well... not uh... supported by history#look up the formation of ASCAP#how they went on strike#and the creation of BMI#understand that artists had their careers entirely derailed as a result and lost their livelihoods because of corporate greed#and like I don't love the ways that sample clearance has evolved#(especially thinking of Fat Boy Slim not getting any royalties from The Rockafeller Skank)#BUT it is a system that could work#OR we look at something like a mechanical#where artists are just automatically paid for use of their work in a dataset#but like#just a massive misunderstanding of the current state and history of copyright law there#and just for the record YES SONNY BONO WAS A MISTAKE AND LIFE + 70 IS EXCESSIVE#but a single decade?? just say you hate working artists and be done with it

thinking about Eunyung breaks my heart bc remember when he had a problem with stealing and managed to stop? but even then he still got accused of stealing and no one believed him when he said he didn't do it except for Haejoon?
or when he finally got a job at the restaurant aka a (somewhat) honest way to make money and afford to buy his own things? but he wasn't officially employed bc he's too young and got fucked over by his employer and got beat up by the guys at the playground during thanks giving when Haejoon spent days looking for him?
or when he the dorms filled up and he got that shitty roommate? the one he tried to get along with since the beginning but the mfer just wanted a room cleaner and free food? when Haejoon stepped in with the pan when the guy wanted to punch Eunyung?
<- these are all instances where Eunyung tried so hard to live a good and honest life, go on a straight path, be an upstanding citizen and a good person. every single time that shit blew up in his face royally and his efforts had gone to waste. he tried so hard and nothing came out of it. the mere thought makes pieces of my soul die.
---
this goes to show how hard it is to pull yourself out of where you started. the thing is, familiar things are magnetic. if you grew up surrounded by bad influences, you'll naturally gravitate towards them, no matter how hard you try get away, move on, do better. bc we naturally feel a pull towards things we're familiar with, things we know. think 'comfort zone', and how hard it is to get out of it.
that doesn't mean it is impossible to leave them behind, but it takes lots of time and effort, until you get used to the new good influences. until you learn to feel comfortable with what you're unfamiliar with.
you try, fail and try again. it's hard, but doable. when the universe throws lemons at you, you pick them up, squeeze them all into a water gun and shoot. aim for the eyes.

watched love simon again, had a breakdown, bon appetit.
something about how simon had (eventually) all that support - his mom told him he got to breathe now, his dad apologized for the jokes and for never seeing it, everyone said they loved him, that he was still him
anyway. rough never got the chance to do that (at least not to that extent, albeit also avoiding the wretched way it went down). at most, he came out to some friends at college, but not fully, not to everyone
and yeah, his parents might've been fine with it. emily probably would've. they would've all adjusted. eventually. but now he'll never know, is the issue. he won't get to tell them, and now everyone is going to remember him wrong. they are going to label and bury a casket containing a body that no longer belongs to him (and frankly, hasn't belonged to him in a long time)
functionally, he wasted his time. he Did School, then he graduated and Did College, then he died. he didn't get to Do a real relationship, or being himself. "you get to breathe now, you're still you" but is he? he never was himself, not all the way. "oh you're still yourself on the inside, no matter what other people saw or say" other people see him buried and mourn a girl who died years ago and he can't correct them

Thinks about how Anti-Mabel was kicked out of her dimension for being 'so evil'. Thinks about how desperate she was to take over the life of the original Mabel. Thinks about how there's a Dipper out there who was created as a means of replacing the original and just thinks Mabel is the coolest ever, and would probably adore and support any version of his sister, even the most evil version of her.
Thinks about how they're both. Like. Thirteen-year-old kids. Sure, one's apparently the most evil Mabel in existence and the other's just hated for his cool guy swag, but they're kids. Do you think either of them thinks about their twin in passing, and realizes how much they miss them and will probably never see them again? Or if they do, they won't be the specific version of themselves that the twin actually cares about?
Is anyone listening to me??

2, 3, 7 and 24 lol
2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom
mmm i'm gonna go a little sideways from the prompt because harry isn't necessarily my fave but i just do want to say i don't think this man is topping. i think the emotional fallout from martinaise has stripped him of his ability to ever top or dom or be in charge in any sexual capacity like ever again. someone tries to get him to top and he gets the thousand yard stare like oh no... i dont top..... not since The Accident..... like already immediately post-amnesia you've got these comments saying sober sex is scary for him, his blood flow is bad from the alcoholism so his dick is operating at a generous 48% capacity, he's got chronic pain + will probably feel that bullet in his thigh forever and ever and this is a perfect storm that equals to This Man Aint Topping. physical and emotional agony if this man even tries. you put this man in a situation where he's expected to top and he says 'i can't... not after everything women have been through...'
that being said i think if you can convince him that there is a shortage of tops for the future communist utopia of revachol & you remind him "from each according to his means" etc he might try. like if you tell him mazov topped then it might actually work. but otherwise call this man a cheese pizza cuz there's no topping here
3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr
there have been many. but i think one that angers me the most is the idea that dora was somehow wrong for leaving harry. i did see once (many months ago) that she should have stayed because of what the breakup did to him and i know for a FACT that person completely missed the point of the last dream on the seafort. that shit was crazy
7. what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?
i'm very good at maintaining my own separate opinions so there's no character i HATE but [strapping on my bulletproof vest] kim took a back burner in my brain for a while because the sheer volume of genuine sincere unironic 'kim is a good cop and his purpose in life is to be harry's support system' i saw was like. mind numbing. i'm not talking about lighthearted fun with his character i was seeing people genuinely believing that shit and i got so sick of it that kim became a secondary consideration for a while. i do love him his character is super interesting & i'm currently working on an analysis, but i think it was a case of oversaturation for a few months there
24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse
i am lucky to have not seen much but i think one of the things i see start some conflict is that there are 2 equally good and valuable types of Disco Enjoyment: 1) silly goofy fun and 2) full 10th-grade-english-teacher-mode analysis. and people can do both but i personally have deleted several anons who i think didn't realize this fact and therefore took my character analysis posts as personal attacks on the Silly Goofy Fun activities rather than the braindumps they were. most of the rancid shit i HAVE seen has mostly come down to: we are looking at the same thing through different levels of detail and canon-compliancy and are forgetting that Ignoring That Shit is an option

Me, spending about 6 hours every day just managing my chronic pain, doing stuff like physical therapy as well as laying in bed with the most fierce intent towards relaxation that the world has ever seen: I have-- to rest-- to calm the nerve pain-- I need to get up and be-- a faggot-- I can't give up-- The world needs me and my-- my fruity ways--
(I am, of course, also a faggot laying down, but I do have to lay here long enough to help the pain and eventually get up to do other faggoty-dyke things out in the world. It's hard to tell if I'm doing it right sometimes.
But with great Faggotry comes great responsibility, you know.
And I simply cannot attend to all of my fruity duties if my body is on the verge of collapse! As hard as it is for me to show myself the grace I need, I must rest and forgive myself - lest I become nothing more than an anxious rainbow smear on the pavement.
And I can't become a pavement smear because then the world would be less queer without me! And also I have plans this evening! And so many more faggotries to enact before the day is through!)
