#Hear me out! They have some history!

Would prussia and romania's ship name be something like prurom? Rompru? Something else I didn't think of? Hmm.

(Cue me rambling in the tags about them)

#Just talking recreationally #Hetalia #Prussia #Romania #Aph #Hws #Ive just finished with school and shit. Expect me to post a lot more(or a lot less idk) #(Well tehnically i finish tomorow but ehh) #Anyway to write something in the tags that's actually relevant to the post: #Hear me out! They have some history! #Im exhausted so I may not be able to explain it very well but basically a branch of the Hohenzollerns ruled over Romania for a time #(From 1866 to 1947) #Basically Carol I was invited to like. Become the leader of romania and he accepted #I think i saw someone write prussia and romania as like. Married. Which is certainly a way to view the relations between them in that perio #Anyway I dont believe they interacted in canon but they should. #Theyre so similar yet so different. #They both have a younger brother whom they love. #Theyre both pretty chaotic tbh #But I feel like they are pretty different too. #Rambling over Im tired. #Actually no. #Btw when romania joined WWI fighting against the central powers #The german emperor Wilhelm II had Ferdinand's name erased from the house of Hohenzollern so they probably werent cordial with eachoter #During that period #Also like Germany stopped being an empire nad became a republic after WWI

I sort of like the thought that Zuko and Aang take the Sun Warriors' warning not to tell anyone about the dragons a little more seriously… and they keep it between them. Of course, they trust Sokka, Toph and Katara. Of course they know they wouldn’t tell anyone, but now three people (including Iroh) know the truth about Ran and Shaw. And that’s three too many when you’re trying to keep a secret.

(and there are other people at the temple as well - like Haru, Teo and The Duke - who, while trustworthy, aren’t as close to them as the others, and when it comes to secrets with as much consequence as this one, you can’t afford to take any chances.)

Furthermore, the culture within the Fire Nation since Sozin’s rein has been warped. The culture is not to respect the dragons as the original firebenders, it’s to conquer and kill them. It’s the ultimate proof of your strength as a firebender. All it takes is one mistake before rumour spreads, and people go looking for the ultimate hunt. It’s not something Zuko or Aang can risk.

Whether Katara, Toph and Sokka (and Suki) ever find out the truth is up to you. But post-war, after Zuko returns from a strange, poorly explained trip with a dragon, and eventually develops the ability to use rainbow fire, either the others have some questions about Aang’s knowing look, or they are finally let in on a monumental secret.

#it’s a kids show so i think for that reason it was played for laughs about keeping the dragons a secret is not necessarily a bad choice... #the show does that sometimes where it says something off hand and then leaves me lying face down contemplating ✨the consequences✨ of that #but there are some… implications there about being too loose lipped with the truth in leading up to the end of and immediately post #war fire nation. just because zuko understands the spiritual significance of a dragon it does not mean the rest of his people will. actuall #its more likely that they'd reject zuko's opinion considering that he's basically coming into power and then telling everyone that #they've been lied to their whole lives. the fire nation is drowning in propaganda. for a lot of people this opinion of dragons and #firebending's true nature being violence and destruction is all they know. fire is LIFE but to most people that's an alien concept #and in terms of keeping secrets - it’s not even a matter of trust it’s a matter of too many people knowing #you might not even realised you’ve revealed some incredible information to someone who has the means to spread it or pursue it #so… i think zuko would be hyper aware of this. since he grew up hearing stories about the 'glory' of dragon hunting #and since iroh has also made a concerted effort to keep this information hidden i think it makes sense he’d be very hesitant to let it #get out to the public #aang would agree i think esp if zuko explained the importance of hiding them even from loved ones #ALSO random but it also makes me wonder what the fire nation said about roku in wake of the war #he had a dragon but he didn’t kill it. he didn’t ’conquer’ it #sozin would have had to work his ASS off to reframe history as him being the more… loyal(?) patriotic (?) of the two #did he frame it as roku didn’t have the courage to kill a dragon??? that he lacked the strength of a true firebender? #the avatar works hard but sozin's propaganda machine works harder 🧍‍♀️ #zuko #aang #avatar the last airbender #zuko & aang #jack talks #sun warriors #book 3 #what is it with me having a whole separate post in the tags 👁️👄👁️

Isekai where Darcy/Jane hit Thor with their van and Thor wakes up as a precious princess character of some fairytale world. Things progress as they tend to in isekai with some poor romantic interest villain character inadvertently ending up around him. Thor wants to get out of this world so bad and is subtly trying to drop hints for the villain guy to spill info on how to dimension hop. It soon becomes evident that Loki was also isekai’d and is stuck as the story’s villain.

#Thor: WHAT DO YOU MEAN I AM A NOBLE’S DAUGHTER THIS IS A DOWNGRADE I AM A MIGHTY WARRIOR—ooo I have a personal serving maid >.> #Thor goes for a walk in a forest or something gets lost trips on some thorns and is bleeding and lost bumps into the typical isekai villain #Thor hearing the guy’s name after some maids were earlier talking about how this guy keeps trying to ‘snatch her away’ or something #Thor like OH NO. NO. NU UH. and misreading every single attempt of the guy to help him #the guy is actually Loki and has no knowledge of this history #Thor keeps thinking this is the plot of some twisted dimension trying to give him a love interest #Thor eventually saying something that gives him away and Loki just stares at him like ‘......THOR??’ #thor sobbing like how come you get to keep your magic and be a guy and Loki is like I am the BAD GUY. everyone here HATES ME. #Thor: at least you have your dignity T-T #Loki: I tried going to the local market to ask around for info and random people threw rotten vegetables at me -_- #also this is Thor1core so Thor has to get less arrogant through this and Loki has to spill how he feels about the adopted lied to things #they have to make up before figuring out a way to go home #Thor like so you still have magic right so we can go home???? and Loki is like. no. this isn’t my magic. and I don’t know how this happened

Steve is most likely to end up in a lavender marriage and Tony's most likely to end up in a “married for tax/immigration/inheritance fraud” reasons.

They meet as married men and pine for each other hardcore and are also trying not to read too much into how their interest seems reciprocated and oh nooooo both Immigration/the IRS and the the Church/in-laws/DADT era army dudes or whatever are snooping around at the same time at each of their marriages and they have to be so good at being married at the people they are married to oh noooooo and they other guy doesn’t know why they are suddenly being iced out and maybe they were just imagining things? maybe it’s for the best with all these eyes around on them…

#not to get too real but i love queer people. we see each other and we save each other #i wish i could talk in depth about this lgbtq history panel i went to tonight without doxxing myself #but basically all of these panelists were older gay ppl & one of them won a very monumental court case in the state #and right after introductions one of the other panelists turned to her and thanked her so profusely for the sacrifices she had made #and the work she did to win that case #and that by achieving that win for herself she paved the way for this other panelist to have her own family recognized legally by the state #i don't know i'm not explaining it well but something about knowing and seeing that gratitude in real time. understanding so viscerally tha #so much of our history has happened within one or two lifetimes. to the point that many of the champions of our current rights are alive #today for us to learn from and listen to and THANK #i met two nb ppl through school last year and have since become very close to them #they are the only two ppl on this planet who use my pronouns the way i want them to be used. they switch it up every time and i love them #a little bit more each time i hear them talk about me. it's magical #my childhood best friend told me he liked boys and girls like a month after we first met each other in the fourth grade #he told me there's a word for that; he's bisexual #i think abt how incredible that was a lot. how brave he was to say that and to own that and how long it might have taken me to figure #out that i was the same had he not said it. #anyway all this to say that yes absolutely i love this #steve and tony meet at a military gala. steve's being recognized for his service and tony and his wife were invited by some higher-up who #imagined he could use the event as a way to cozy up to him and earn some good favor before negotiations start on SI's contract renewal #their eyes meet while steve's up on stage. he hates these things. hates being dragged into the spotlight. he feels naked and bare and #vulnerable every time. trapped in enemy territory with no cover. but he sucks it up he kisses his wife on the cheek and she smiles #big and beautiful; perfect like they've run their lines 1000 times over. like they could recite each other's parts by heart #he makes his way to the podium. breathes deep to center himself before he launches into his thankless thank-yous. steve's a terrible liar #but somehow he's made it this far in his career. he can manage for one more night. except #right as he lifts his eyes to speak he sees him. bright eyes burning into his from a shadowed table in the corner. the brass speaking at hi #on his left and a lovely woman who's bored and unimpressed on his right. and him looking directly back at steve #steve's breath catches and he chokes on air. trips on his lines. forgets himself and loses the beat of the scene #he looks down at his notes and ignores them. raises his face to the light and plays himself to be seen by an audience of one. #anon #signed sealed delivered

Rollo Flamme is autistic. I had a suspicions about it but after reading his vignette I heard a voice in my head confirming it. God has told me the truth and I must spread the word

He would also be ok with Batman, if he's not his most favoured hero. Oh and he also probably has PTSD and depression. Thanks for coming to my ted talk

#twisted wonderland #rollo flamme #twst #okay hear me out #jp spoilers #spoilers of Rollo's vignette❗❗❗ #This mf keeps count of each grape he eats. 16. No more. No less. #they could have just generalized and say he eats a bunch of grapes but no. he SPECIFIES how many he eats #+ 2 croissants and a coffee with milk. That's his lunch every single day #(very implied or canon) he always goes to the same store. to buy the same envelope and letter paper < that's canon #he goes through a schedule and he's comfortable having the same routine #one of his hyperfixations is hating mages and magic. another one is his liking towards croissants and grape (comfort foods) #another possible special interest is history. given how he reacts in history classes and how much historical lore he knows of the city #another special interest could be flowers because both in the event and vignette is shown he's exceptionally good at cultivating plants and #i think he mentioned in the vignette one of the things he likes of Fleur city is the landscape tho his con is that the flowers initially -- #were cultivated with magic #a perfectionist who brushes it off but his grades and efforts to make everything right despite the questionable morals of his says it all #and the most important thing: it gives me autism vibes #Now about the second statement: he doesn't read comics or scifi in general #but mc explains him some hero lore and talks about a hero who beats villain asses w/o superpowers #and who keeps an eye in every superhero but specially in this guy called superman #because bat believes super is so OP he could make a disaster if he turned to be a bad guy #bat also has reserves of an element that removes superman powers and bets SUPER villains using his brains and weapons he has created himsel #his morals are somewhat different to other heroes and most of them don't understand him but he's ok doing it his own way #and Rollo is sold. No he probably won't ever touch anything related to heroes but this called Batman is right and superior #and most importantly. If MC says Batman is the best with that alone he agrees. With proof he only joins MC more #“Magicless people rule” – Rollo Flamme #the part of Rollo having depression and PTSD or some sort of illness induced by trauma is self explanatory if you have read the event #shut up noko

yk I always get a little sad remembering how much more... lively? the place where I live is now compared to when I first came here like. obviously better infrastructure is a good thing and more people coming here is most likely on net a good thing and I wouldn't want to turn time back and make it not happen but. part of me loved how... secluded? quiet? the place was and how it felt like it was being built around the preexisting landscape instead of shaping the land around it idk

#I wouldn't want to stop it from happening but. I'm a bit sad about it ig #my rambles #there's this curve in the road leading to the driveway to my old cello teacher's house and it sucks the angle from the road to the driveway #-is so goddamn sharp that driving into the driveway is a nightmare and driving out is insane bc #the angle is so sharp you can't see if there's cars coming from the left and have to rely on your hearing #plus the driveway's going up this massive hill which makes things a lot worse #it sucks. I love it to death. it sucks it's dangerous shouldn't exist. I can't help but love it anyway bc of its implied history #bc like the house is really old man it's probably one of the first built in the area #the driveway shouldn't keep existing and I'll be glad when it's fixed but. idk some part of me is fond of it anyway

I just wanna say thank you for reblogging all the stuff spreading awareness of recent antisemitism that you have recently. You are the only person I follow who isn't jewish who I've seen do so at all (Unless I'm mistaken and you are jewish too). I know not everyone is aware of every single bad thing happening in the world at any moment, and don't think people HAVE to reboot about negative events or whatever, but how much you seem to care really warms my heart and reassures me we aren't alone (Unless, once again, I am mistaken and you are jewish)

👍but nah i'm not jewish, just pissed off

#doing the talking for this one IN the tags bc i would really rather be answering this privately lol #feels so weirdly like. performative. to say it out in the open but whatver #i just have so much. anger. abt this shit #every time i turn around and learn about some random history/culture event or fixture its like #'oh yeah and originally this got started to shit on jewish ppl' and its just like how is this so deeply fucking ingrained in everything #and like i'm black so. without trying to compare the two too directly for obvious reasons #i do in some ways understand the thing with the whole system being slanted against you like that #AGAIN not comparing 1:1 because the history of jews being scapegoated for everything ever and always getting the shit end of the stick #is like leagues apart and beyond stuff thats gone down w/ blacks' histories #but i get the infuriation and the sting of people just. not fucking caring or even NOTICING The Issues #to be clear i am unbelievably sheltered and ignorant about like every culture ever+ usually unmotivated to search things out on my own #so endless thanks to my jewish friends/mutuals for just bein themselves and passively keeping me like. informed. #abt basics for not being antisemitic and how to respect jewish culture #cause god knows im not gonna hear it out in everyday society or whatever #yeag. and anyway i also have personal beef #from being raised christian and having to get away from [gestures broadly at the whole of christian teachings] #and im like. you killed people for this? to do things this badly? you stomped out their culture and practices to bring THIS into the world? #literally fuck off and die nothing you taught me is even a fraction as... idk. rewarding? as the fragments ive seen of jewish culture #rewarding or like. hopeful or meaningful maybe. its hard to put an exact word to it but to speak it more directly- #i am Wildly Misanthropic but whenever i learn stuff about jewish culture im like. #you know if these sorts of ideals were more widespread i probably wouldn't hate humanity so much. #[i also feel this way abt native americans but thats a whole ass other thing.] #[similarly seeing people whose ideals i also value being consistently treated like shit tends to just fuel the misanthropy soooooo...] #its like these are the people who actually know how to live and this is what the greater populace thinks of them? lmao ok #[to be clear i live in the usa so you can imagine the kind of culture im Actually exposed to lolllll] #at any rate reblogging a post on social media really feels a negligble gesture but im glad it's appreciated nonetheless

trying soo hard to shut up abt the way barry’s character was handled in the post-coma seasons but the more i think abt it the more pissed off i get what in gods name were they thinkingggg

#i wanna move on bc i know im getting annoying but :/ this sucks so bad. they massacred my boy LITERALLY </3 #👻.evp #like its not even just the lack of him getting anything in s13 #but also them never further exploring his redemption arc in any actual depth #or taking time to explore his new dynamics w the team or even just any of the wider implications this character shift of his brings #hell even his friendship w archer is ridiculously underdeveloped for how much history they have. wheres the nuance. wheres the flavor. #itz soo frustrating this is such an interesting new direction to take him so why dont they do ANYTHTJNG WITH HIM #AND 12x8 DONT GET ME STARTED. barry’s repressed resentment towards archer was finally given some more focus #yet it wasnt rly. touched on. in any depth or detail. #like they just parroted the same shit we’ve known for years #instead of actually delving into what this means for them now that they’ve grown as friends #there were instances here and there where it felt like they were going to get into it but they never committed #i keep saying it but my god he was sooooo lazily integrated into this episode it drives me crazy. what was the point. #like it genuinely feels like they only included him here to heighten the stakes rather than out of an actual desire to continue his arc #which like. ok fine if that was the initial plan but also u can do both its not that hard i prommy #makes me so mad i was SOO EXCITED for this episode when it was set to air #and it ended up being one of the biggest disappointments in this shows run to me. mission: difficult my detested i HATE UUUUUUUUU 👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹👹 #like if thats truly the last we’ll ever see or hear from him again thats rly fuckin disappointing :[ what a lame way to send him off #on top of that there’s zero followup to any of this shit in s13 #like i dont expect him to be a primary character or whatever but like. why didnt they even attempt to provide any closure #let the man haunt the narrative a lil or SOMETHING #archer watched him die in his arms and now he has to work under the man who’s indirectly responsible for it #and u have NOTHING to say on that???

I wanna rant abt aro shit again buttttttt it involves getting all philosophical abt the concept of love and I don't wanna touch that with a ten foot pole my mental health can't take it rn lol

#rat rambles #I just think. it barely means anything. besides what it is to individuals. which is important but not world defining. ok dont yell at me #also god damn am I struggling to find info on the history of the concept of love thats not just extremely christian #and also every attempt to define it seems to define it less so like. if someone doesnt connect with the word and idea of love who cares #well evidently a lot of ppl but like thatll always be the case unfortunately #I just rly dont like love as a moral standard because its definition can therefor be argued to exclude whoever you want #I just think. hear me out. we shouldnt be trying to prove for or against ppl being human with a extremely vaguely defined emotion #or any emotion for that matter #I just think that maybe. possibly. someone being a literal actual human. might be enough to prove that theyre human. idk just a thought #and that all humans deserve basic human rights. wild concept right /s #and like its great if love is the meaning of life to you. but maybe. just maybe. we shouldnt be demonising ppl who dont feel that way abt #themselves. and like. idk. maybe some ppl might have good reason to feel disconected by the concept of love as it exists. idk. #like who knows maybe the way we discuss love makes it an ample weapon both for and against minorities and that can be kinda scary #and as a neurodivergent mentally ill agender acearo lesbian person I mean rly scary. #just. pls be kind to loveless aros and other aspec ppl or just ppl who dont center their worlds around love pls. thanks #again if love is important to you and your life thats genuinely wonderful for you and Im glad. just. dont be shitty to ppl abt it pls. #ok I accidentially did rant a bit but I am holding back so like. idk consider this the polite short version fkfnfjfnf #rat rants
