#I’m having trust issues

[petrichormore]

yknow a moment from today that I feel is really under appreciated and kinda highlights the difference between the people q!Bad trusts and the people he doesn’t?

(this is about the characters obviously. You cannot make me use q! on long analysis posts. None of you can make me.)

Aypierre was showing Bad the room he used to capture and question Fred, and built into the only entry into the main room was an inventory scanner.

An inventory scanner - the thing Bad was hesitant to use to save Forever because he was scared of the islanders knowing of its existence and turning it against him. He did it anyway obviously because he cares about Forever but it’s clear he knows this is the one thing that could remove all his carefully built up protections in an instant. And the only way into the room was through it.

So Bad stops, of course, and Aypierre (who already walked through it first) notices and goes “I’ll just give you your items back, come through”

And Bad says “Ehhhh no, I…”

And Aypierre reassures him “You can come through. Don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t worry.

And Bad repeats “Ehhhh no…” And then “Forgive my paranoia, can you disable it? Or make an opening for me?” He asks it very politely too, as if he believes it’s a hard ask (it’s not).

And Aypierre does. That’s why I think this moment is underrated. Bad asks for forgiveness for his paranoia - a paranoia that has been built up and rewarded and reinforced by his experiences on the island - and yet Aypierre doesn’t treat it like a burden. He doesn’t complain about it, he doesn’t tell Bad he’s overreacting, and he certainly doesn’t try to guilt-trip or otherwise insist Bad go through when he’s clearly uncomfortable. He just… makes another opening, and Bad walks through that, and the moment of hesitance, of distrust, is left behind. Not just left behind, but accepted. From Bad’s perspective, Aypierre has essentially communicated that “I can see you don’t trust me fully, and that’s okay, I understand why. It’s not a big deal, and I can move on.”

And I think that acceptance is why Aypierre has managed to gain an impressive amount of Bad’s trust so much faster than other islanders. I think that’s why when he told Bad he put cameras in his house, Bad didn’t get upset.

A lot of islanders, even islanders that are Bad’s friends, would not have reacted the way Aypierre did to Bad not wanting to step through the inventory scanner. And it does make a difference.

#and this isn’t even the first time q!Aypierre has been considerate of q!Bad’s paranoia instead of dismissive or disparaging #I’m reminded of the time q!Bad was hesitating on entering the art museum so q!Aypierre offered to walk ahead of him in case of traps #it’s just. interesting #q!Bad does not have many people who are so nonchalant about his extreme trust issues #it’s probably refreshing for him #qsmp #qsmp liveblog but late #qsmp aypierre #q!aypierre #qsmp badboyhalo #q!badboyhalo #q!bbh character analysis #bebou and the French stay winning

Listen just hear me out

I love the idea of Rooster and Hangman being exes and then getting back together but the idea of them being exes and then being friends after the mission is fucking hilarious

Just them embarrassing each other because now they can talk about it and it’s not as tense as it was, casually mentioning shit they did when they were together

Bob: who the hell was snoring so loud last night?

Jake, without looking up from his phone: Rooster

All of them, staring at Jake:

Jake: what?

Jake, pointing at Rooster: you snore like a bitch, I kinda thought you were dying the first time I stayed at your place

—

Jake: I’m wild man, I’m an animal in bed

Bradley: shut the fuck up you like holding hands in bed

PLEASE ITS SO PERFECT

#I’m bored at uni so I’m making it everyone’s problem #it’s so funny and for what #Jake: you have so many trust issues it is honestly insane Bradley #Bradley: yeah well you are the most emotionally repressed man I have ever dated #Jake: you make good coffee tho #Bradley: yeah I loved your muffins #Jake: family receipt baby #hangster #hangaroo #sereshaw #jake seresin x bradley bradshaw #jake seresin #bradley bradshaw #top gun #also this fuckers still get back together #they can’t help it

[juno-infernal]

they should invent a device that lets you immediately revoke all the information about yourself you’ve ever shared with anyone

#m #ideally it should be a big red button. and make a loud buzzer sound when you press it. #no i’m not ‘avoidant’ i don’t have ‘trust issues’ why are you saying that. i’m pressing the button again

“How long before I can’t call you my sweet little girl?”

#I want to throw up this song makes me ill it’s so heart breaking and I had to make art about it #Idc if it’s not really canon it’s for da song #What could have been :( #Seriously listen to this song esp if you have mommy issues #I don’t have them but I’m an empath #No more rambling from me but trust when I say I could go on. And on. And on. #fear and hunger #funger #fear and hunger girl #nilvan #Baby #no more birthdays #sophie may #spotify #Spotify

For this Bad Batch Eve, I have written a few Haikus.

Someone is missing

Echo get back on screen please

Legit, where is he?

Who is CX-2?

Tech, Cody, Soup Clone, Dogma?

When will answers come?????

We are all anxious

We are not ready at all

For the death of any

Except maybe Hemlock or Cid

Thank you and have a great Bad Batch Eve. My advice? Prepare for the worst because yeah not all of the boys are making it out alive by the finale. We have some time before the final episode, but just start preparing yourselves. Additionally, I’d like to say: Echo and Tech fans, stay strong I know you’re all probably screaming by now

#tbb season 3 #tbb clone x #tbb tech #tbb crosshair #tbb echo #tbb hunter #tbb wrecker #tbb omega #I will laugh out my lungs if clone-x isn’t Tech or Cody #I’m more for the Tech theory myself #but I’ve heard horror stories about authors being like “surprise! it was no one important after all!” #genuinely hope they don’t do that but #i have trust issues #and I refuse to be upset if they’re just fucking with us

[noodle-shenaniganery]

can we stop trying to bully people into advocacy, please?

can we stop making people feel personally responsible for issues they only just heard of and may not even understand?

can we stop yelling and berating people who aren’t putting all of their (probably limited) energy into researching something that has almost nothing to do with them and which may stress them out?

can we stop pressuring people who are already struggling to survive to limit their options on how they can live, what they can eat?

please?

please

can we stop

#look #it’s good to try #but not everyone can #so can we stop acting like it’s a moral failing to not be able to do everything you can all the time? #I see this especially with the Israel-Hamas war #people who never even spoke of such issues are now devoting all of their attention to it #which is good for them! #but where they go wrong is when they start implying or blatantly saying that if you aren’t doing what they are doing #then you’re a horrible person #be angry at the dictators and the terrorists and the presidents who are responsible for this #don’t be angry at the neighbor who orders McDonald’s #they’re not willingly funding the thing #if you want to help that’s great #but bullying your fellow citizens is not the way to go about it #trust me #you’re not helping #anyways #is this a vent? #maybe #I don’t know #I’m just tired #of people who do this #good intentions turned into bad actions #whatever happened to ‘people are flawed’ or ‘agree to disagree’? #nuance is abundant and I hate when I see people thinking that issues of this magnitude don’t have any nuance #definitive statements and definitive lies #the line between them blurs every day

(All talk about the characters not the ccs)

I’m finally watching bbh’s June 19th stream (day after Father’s Day) and he’s talking about removing everyone’s access to his base. I’ve seen people talking about how this could cause problems and lose him Forever and Bagerah’s trust but I think people - including Forever and Bagerah - are forgetting a crucial fact

Bbh is a single parent and has been from the start.

He has to be incredibly paranoid to keep Dapper safe. His paranoia is the only reason Dapper -and many of the other eggs - are still alive.

He can’t rely on other people to keep Dapper safe. He can’t tell Dapper to go live with another parent if his house is compromised. That’s why he has five different houses and keeps building more when too many people gain access.

I don’t think Forever or Bagerah have a right to complain about this considering they have 3/4 other parents/houses to keep their egg safe. They have a family structure that allows them a sense of safety that bbh has NEVER had.

Like yea, I understand why they would feel betrayed but from an objective pov, they have zero ground to stand on to protest because they have NO idea what bbh has gone through raising dapper alone, how could they? They have always had 3/4 other parents at their beck and call.

Trust doesn’t mean letting someone run rampantly through your house/safe space just because they feel entitled to it. Trust means having faith that if bbh is closing off his/Dapper’s house to you, he has a legitimate reason that doesn’t have anything to do with you personally.

Bbh has done so much for team friendship and taken down so many of his walls and boundaries for them that the fact THEY don’t have faith in him makes me sad. I trust team friendship and the q-ommunication smp to work everything out but I just hope Bagerah and Forever come to respect bbh’s boundaries a bit more :D

#qsmp #crimson speaks #team friendship #constantly having to prove to people they can trust you #by letting them stomp all over ur boundaries #is not healthy or sustainable #bbh has given forever and Bagerah sooooo much trust #they need to have trust and faith in him too #give him is space #please XD #when ever they demand and guilt him into giving out the waystone and door access in previous streams #it makes me super uncomfy XD #I know it’s not intentional and they all have trust issues to a degree #it just reminds of of irl ‘friends’ that demanded things of me to prove my friendship #a huge part of healthy relationships is allowing people to keep parts of themselves secret #bearing your entire soul because someone asks you to prove your friendship is very toxic #friendship is about trust and trust means having faith #that everything they choose to disclose or not is done so with reason #idk maybe I’m just jaded XD #I know they’ll all work it out tho #I have faith #XD

The more I work on my long fic the more work I’m realizing it needs…

Maybe I should just take it down for now and repost it when it’s actually ready

#don't mind me having a moment #the main issue I’m realizing is Hualian #XL is a pov character but there’s no real stake for him in this adventure #so there’s no real conflict or growth for him to be had #but on the other side some of the planned scenes with sqx just won’t work if he’s the pov character #because he’s unconscious for them #and there’s no other character who can really fit the role XL plays #because he’s the one sqx trusts the most #things to think about #maybe I should shift gears to my 3T fic instead because the goals for all 3 are defined there #it’s not something I think about as much when writing oneshots #but character drive and motivation is important #the pov character needs to have a reason for acting #that goes a little further than ‘he’s my friend and I’m concerned’ #the fic has some good themes with sqx & the peis #I need to find a parallel for hualian that xl can work on #another theme is disappointment (and that it’s ok) so….. #(hualian being one of those couples who support each other 200% makes them kinda boring to write in this sense) #(I think I might need to embrace the ooc a little >.>

2 months later almost to the day and I’m still literally sobbing into my pillow about the Shakespearean tragedy that was Sylki

#I’m a strange mix of pissed and heartbroken and frustrated and confused and bitter and bittersweet #it’s like my own breakup #Sylki #now I’m seeing people argue that Sylvie doesn’t love Loki back anymore or even in the first place???? really???? #it’s in written and live interviews that she LOVES him like no one she’s ever known #by the end of season 2 she is emotionally glued to him the way she was in season one #is Lokis love of her more obsessive and codependent and unconditional to the point of being unhealthy? #yes. #does she still love him as deeply as someone with her level of attachment and trust issues and stunted emotions physically can? #yesssss #stop the mental gymnastics #they just have realistic attachment styles #and she needs to be warmed up to opening herself and her life and heart to people and coaxed into a relationship like a feral cat #while Loki glomps onto anyone that shows him affection like a touch starved baby monkey #I feel like the only one who freaking GETS them

[designernishiki]

y3 has made me feel many things but one of the things that lingers with me the most about it is how majima takes every possible opportunity and makes every possible gesture to say “please don’t leave me alone again, please take me with you when you leave, I WANT to be right next to you when you need me, I’ll literally do anything for you, just don’t leave me alone again” always indirectly but in strong enough ways that i think it’d be obvious to anyone paying attention EXCEPT Kazuma Kiryu, The Densest Man On Earth, who he’s pleading to in the first place. it’s. frustrating to watch. someone needs to grab kiryu by the shoulders and tell him. for the love of god. this man loves you so much and you keep leaving him when all he wants to do is help you and be with you please just take him to okinawa oh my god

#kazumaji #it’s FRUSTRATING #specifically thinking about the scene in the bar after the pink truck debacle #where majima finally says like. if you’re going to Okinawa to deal with this whole assassination thing or whatever comes up I’m coming #with you. you don’t have a ton of support down there and me and you together are basically unstoppable #pretty much completely outright #and kiryu. the dense stubborn motherfucker he is. is like. i don’t have No One down there I have a few friends (missing the point). I’ll be #fine. I don’t need your help there. you should stay here #I’ll give him some credit because then saying ‘someone has to stay here and keep the Tojo clan from total collapse’ is a good point and it #does mean something that he trusts majima to be that person (especially given I don’t think anyone else on earth would trust him with that) #(despite him being totally capable- you know mad dog persona and all that blah blah blah) #like that’s a good point idk who else would be a good choice to do that considering daigo’s out of commission and who’s even left after that #obviously mine is Sketchy. kashiwagi is (supposedly) dead. everyone else kiryu trusts in the yakuza is dead or injured more or less. #not gonna leave fuckin DATE in charge or something #so. fair enough point. but nonetheless it doesn’t erase the fact that kiryu overlooks what majima means in the grander scheme of things #and still believes first and foremost that he doesn’t need/want his help when he does and he should #he’s just. allergic to making life easier for himself #among other issues #sigh #yakuza 3 #y3 #goro majima #kazuma kiryu #kiryu #majima #rambling

Girlies still obsessing over the friend breakup, sound off

#it’s weird that it took me two years to realize ‘oh that wasn’t me. I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t deserve to be treated like that’ #and also weird that it took me two years to realize that that was probably the resurgence of my self-trust issues with my own judgement of #other people’s character and why I stopped letting people get too close again and stopped talking about my problems. wow! who would’ve #thought that these things cause lasting damage! luckily I got over most of that but I’m still angry for that girl who just internalized #everything and was made to feel inferior over her own innocence and didn’t have the strength to stand up for herself #weird to think I had just gotten this blog back then…anyway. unfortunately I still don’t feel like forgiving and I pray I get over that #*jazz hands* abandonment issues

[rivenantiqnerd]

help i was just stimming a lot at dinner and my mom said “what are you doing? Are you slowly turning into one of those people … that doesn’t fit in with society?” And i was like what do you mean???? And she didn’t answer. I know i’ve been stimming and avoiding eye contact a lot more in the past year, but that’s only because i really learned what autism was in the past year and that it was okay to stim! And she didn’t know that, but was she talking about autism? I’m so confused and freaked out. Oh no.

#If you’re talking about autism just say you’re talking about autism #autism #self diagnosed autism #actually autistic #She doen’t know about autism really #Besides what’s portrayed in the normal media #And she did long term sub for a SPED class last year #So when she thinks of autism she thinks of level 3 because that’s what she’s seen? #I still haven’t spoken to her about it and now i’m freaking out #I guess i can talk about it to my therapist #(I have a therapist now!) #But alas #trust issues

Playing Tales of Symphonia is like “Noooo, I can’t believe that the party member who has red hair, a name that ends in -os, is a suicidal mage knight, and replaced the party member who betrayed us actually betrayed us 🥺🥺🥺.”
