Parent/guardian whump

The panic of the child/children in the situation, seeing the person they rely on incapacitated, in need of protection, in need of help.

The panic of the guardian, wanting so desperately to protect their kid(s) but unable to. The horror of having to watch a person you dedicate your whole being to protecting put themselves in harm’s way to defend you.

#parent whump #whump #I love My Hero Academia characters for this #Izuku protecting an injured Toshinori #The students protecting a downed Aizawa #Each wanting to scream #“Run! I’ll hold them off!” #But maybe lacking the strength to do even that #Or perhaps worse #Being ignored #Watching as all the kindness and bravery you’ve instilled in them #Puts them in harm’s way #This dynamic is also good for teams #The strong one who always takes on the strongest enemies #Having to watch in horror as their weaker friends try to take down something they could not defeat #Because they refuse to leave you behind #This is also good with sickfics especially with young children #Small kids trying to nurse a sick guardian back to health #Perhaps by the time the guardian realized how sick they were #They were too far gone to communicate what was happening #whump prompt

Hate them so much

things from The Halloween Update that are concerning me more than i already am about Eddie:

his Frankenstein's Monster costume turning his face (and hands. ha, hands, like the hands on a-) half yellow half blue/purple like the clocks & Sally's door. that's fucking me up a little ngl

Eddie tacks "A bit of a moral conundrum-" onto his description of Frankenstein's Monster, who he's costumed as. which seems out of place with the rest of his description. he could've said "bolts" or "white streak in his hair" or another physical trait. nope. Moral Conundrum (one could also describe his costume as "two-faced"...). and the fact that he's dressed specifically as someone who was "brought back from the dead" makes me 👁️👁️. kinda reminds me of a certain set of artworks from Clown's tumblr a while back...

Eddie, despite his whole schtick being "bad memory", was the only one to accurately recognize Sally's costume as pedrolino from the Commedia dell'arte. could be a little 'inside joke', might be something else. i suspect it's something else due to his... ah... Everything.

#yk im starting to wonder if eddie's meant to have a naturally bad memory #or if something is purposefully fucking with em more than with anyone else #bc he seems to have these little moments where hes On Top Of It #kinda like moments of lucidity almost? hm.... #eddie dear what have you seen? why are you Singled Out? #the wrist watch / his eyelashes matching home's (whatever the rounded things under the sills are) #his halloween costume / his memory problems / the fucking tiny secrets sprinkled all over his post office / his color being purple #hi eddie how does it feel to have main character syndrome #jesting! kinda #eddison edward eduardo edmund edgar edwin edmundo. what the hell is your deal im dying to know #wh speculation #welcome home speculation #homebogging #i wonder. i. wonder... #if eddie got Caught by whatever is out there at night #maybe he didnt know to stay in doors. maybe he realized he forgot to deliver something and thought 'better late than never' #maybe the town mailman is too important to simply Remove so he had to be dealt with a different way #or wait maybe someone saved him? wally perhaps? home? id(k?) #a worse memory so that he doesnt remember what happened? #a personal clock on him at all times so that he never loses track of the time of day? #an overactive fear-response to make sure he stays in his lane Despite him apparently enjoying scary things? #kinda sticks with the 'frankensteins monster' thing dontcha think? brought back from the dead? Stitched back together? #and the monster was an emotional sensitive character. like eddie. IDK idk im just rambling now

Not to be a manga-only pretentious dweeb but every time I see one piece fans talk about terrible pacing or being annoyed by a beloved character I start vibrating in my chair frothing at the mouth shaking uncontrollably bleeding from my eyes bleating like a goat read the manga please just read the manga the issues you have with one piece are with toei animation please pick up a book PLEASEJUSTREADTHEFUCKINGMANGA

#one piece #one piece manga #i was shocked when i learned that people dont like vivi or usopp but then i remembered anime voice acting exists #the anime is fucking incredible with some moments. others not so much #sexism isnt fixed tho. it is perhaps worse

“hey stop making jokes abt mass shootings in america”

“well u insult our accents which is classist so we’re both in the wrong”

#like yeah classism bad we know this #but joking abt dozens of children being slaughtered by an automatic weapon in school is perhaps just a bit worse than saying #‘it’s chewsday innit’ don’t u think

[saintbleeding]

can i speak my truth fellas i feel like it's a bit unfair to sorta stick jon under a fuck around and find out type umbrella. like if anything he finds out THEN fucks around. like i think part of why people will so readily defend him to the point of being unwilling to acknowledge that he has ever made a misstep is because there's this. willingness. to go teehee dumb fafo protag but it's like. a fairly major plot point that he is neck-deep in the mire before he even really realises what's going on and by that point there's not really any turning back. because. he's trapped.

like not to dig up The Same Discourse but he rly does mostly just make the best possible decisions he can with the info he has at the time, esp early on

#like at worst [web lighter] his adhd is being made supernaturally worse. but idk i feel like there isn't necessarily a straight line #from him to say. victor frankenstein. idk #i do think dead horse beating is perhaps a vice u could accuse him of but hubris not so much

thing is, taika isn't doing anything a white man isn't doing

going from indie/low budget film making to blockbuster hits/superhero films: several white directors have done that. but taika's a sellout that is greedy for money. but it's not because he's brown and jewish hahaha no!!!

coming off as arrogant: wow. the number of pretentious white directors we can name here... hmm. however taika must be humbled, who the fuck does HE think he is acting like he's good at what he does. how dare a brown man have the equal amount of confidence as a mediocre cishet white male USC/Tisch film grad

the man has said stuff that's out of touch, yet that's almost standard for every single "popular" mainstream actor/director that is living a certain lifestyle, but it's silence on those fronts a couple weeks after they've made their stupid statement while taika's being held accountable for every little thing he does. it's not wrong to hold him accountable but it's very weird when he's the only one being held accountable when people who have said and done far worse than him are off the hook and their statement forgotten by the next month

the man doesn't even plaster himself on social media all that much, even when his wife posts on tiktok or ig with him it's scarce. yet the reaction when he pops up for one week to do promo for his new project makes you think he's taylor swift levels of inescapable or he's personally broken into people's houses and murdered their pets

#'i'm liking taika less and less' why? no give me a reason that doesn't have to do with his so-called attitude and the shit he says #when other celebs have done far worse but don't get even a quarter of the internets wrath like he does #poc are never allowed to just be people with flaws and perhaps the wrong takes about things huh? #they also aren't allowed to have egos or be outwardly confident

I literally woke up in the middle of the night like God will dark rise is so fucking screwed. The line that’s like. “Everyone wanted to kill the Dark King.” What’s the part where he looks at Violet helplessly, haunted, almost pleading for mercy? But of course he reveals nothing of substance to anyone. Elizabeth is too young to understand but the reader knows what “Her relationship with that boy was…unnatural” can mean. Tying him to bedposts? Failing to strangle him? What else? Never not even once seeing beyond a mythological identity Will himself didn’t know he had? What did he think was the reason? That he was just intrinsically hateful? Of course he says nothing. Of course Violet can’t trust him- he’s given her nothing as painfully real as what she’s given him. So he gives her the sword hoping at least he can die at the hands of someone he loved, but even that doesn’t work out - she gives the sword to a Visander still furious at SARCEAN. The pattern continues; no one looks at Will, who vomits when he realizes what’s happened to James, Will who is much of a liar and killer and sneak as Elizabeth accuses but nonetheless wants to be different. Even when he doesn’t remember his own past. There’s no way out for him that doesn’t hurt. Hope this obsession passes soon given the one and a half years of waiting required for book 3

#dark rise series #dark heir #rarely does a cliffhanger pain me so much #bc rarely am I ever THAT invested in a plot I am sad to say #nona the ninth was so cathartic in of itself I’m content marinating before alecto #BUT PACAT ONLY EVER GIVES EMOTIONAL CRUMBS #have any of these bitches ever known peace fr #maybe this is what reading princes gambit and not immediately having the follow up might’ve been like #honestly it’s possibly damen and Lauren just generally had less problems tho #more than his relationship even with James. will/Violet is perhaps the genuine source of like. I WISH HED GIVEN HER A REASON. #the narration that describes Violet as Will’s star in the night…….. like fuck fine #will can’t reach any level of genuine intimacy with James bc the mess of fraught noncon dynamics is this massive unspoken horrible thing #wills identity is personal w James in a way it is with no one else but James is so fucking oblivious of undercurrents it comes unbalanced #and will knows it. but (as far as we know) violet isn’t reborn has no history with sarcean the dark king she’s literallt just Some Guy #and that almost makes it worse???????? that they are so loyal to each other even as he’s keeping a massive secret? #they weren’t dated or destined to entangle the way will is w characters like James and Katherine #and I think that makes his rship with Violet possibly the realest and truest experience of trust and love will has ever had #like it’s nothing bro. truly she knows nothing about him other than his lies of omission and her faith in him goodness which may or may not #beiltimately justified. but that was probably as honest and close will ever got to anyone. and him to her.

at 20 bucks a bar in 1996,

given the inflation rate of about 95% from then til now (kill me)

Tyler fucking Durden was charging almost 40 USD!! per dinky little soap bar

#fight club #he should be killed for this #feel free to imagine this number in other currencies as well. 54 cad. 32 gbp. 37 euros. 5935 yen. 3640 rubles #that's translating from the inflation adjusted amount too. if inflation is higher for your currency perhaps its even much worse! #idk i thought 20 bucks was ridiculois. i forgot about inflation #god i forgot the mexican peso. im a bad neighbor... it's 685 pesos

With all the respect and love for your writing in the world, I would not count the neutral votes. The thought of you writing that fills me with horror and disgust, but I did vote neutral because it’s your blog and ultimately your choice. If, however, you’re going to count the neutrals as part of the yes group, I’m going in to change my vote to no. I love your writing, but that’s a level of depravity that makes me physically ill and I will not be part of its arrival. That is a slippery slope and I want off the sled.

girl it's just urine calm down.

#/j mostly #it's just like #i feel like i've written about worse things then piss y'know #this is at most a tangential level of depravity if not a considerable de-escalation #perhaps there will be piss yet #personal #anon ask

honestly does anyone else think that the what:if routes are perhaps telling us that some sort of collision between subaru and reinhard is just inevitable in nearly every route

#re:zero #my game theory. i mean. light novel theory... is that somewhere somehow down the line subaru will have to face reinhard #and when that happens he will be his worst obstacle yet like in most alt routes #made worse by their relationship at this point #but also maybe perhaps UNLIKE in all the alt routes something will be different #and i dont mean that in a good way. im thinking maybe subaru could finally figure out The Trick to beating the strongest man alive #somehow. #and it might involve garfiel based on some stuff thats been foreshadowed who knows #what exactly would beating entail though? he cant die bc of the divine protection of the phoenix #but that being said if he somehow had all his divine protections taken away i mean... hed actually be relatively weak imo #his body would still probably remember how to move like a sword saint (like therisia's did in arc 5) #but like that can also be a bad thing like #would his body perhaps also forget that he has to ACTUALLY DODGE PROJECTILES bc they wont just magically miss him anymore? #will he try to walk on water only to sink like an idiot? #will he not check the label on the sugar only to find out its salt? #either way he wouldnt be the strongest man alive anymore hed just be a skilled swordsmen. julius could probably match him at that point #which im sure would be surreal to juli after years of admiration+envy+being gay about it

Just a laundry list of stuff from the Terror scripts that doesn’t nearly get as talked about as much as it should and I’m going to make it everyone else’s problem

The way that neptune’s shit in front of hickey is LITERALLY a revenge shit. Puppy knew puppy always knew- but also how neptune is so beautifully and carefully tied into scenes like. The script loved this dog. So fucking much ("we put up with it because the captain loves it" DAMN RIGHT!!!! THATS HIS DOOOOOOG).

As much as I hate these bitches: that extended scene with Sir John and Lady Jane???? Him in bed with the flu and they are literally the picture of casual tenderness and affection and I might never recover from it. He literally asks her to stowaway like I CANNOT with that shit it’s so unbelievably cute. "I'm ill, Jane" will haunt me forever.

Sofia’s “you should marry a pole, not a woman”??? YYYYYYYOWCH

Also the change your jacket before you come down to dinner bit to Francis that was carried over from the book makes me go insane. Yes. Change your whole self to make yourself presentable to good society and then you can be with us. Yeah. Sooo fucking normal (I am yanking that man away from Sofia with my fucking teeth on the scruff of his neck).

Also. The Pelgar Bridgens romance. Is so real. Show gets so subtle with it I read it as a storge kinda bromance first go around but script loved these two guys being in love so much and it was beautiful that it was literally written queer love from the get go. And put up against Hickey and Gibson it’s a stark and beautiful and TRAGIC as fuck contrast. Like show showed it well but the way it was actually written is ascendant to me.

JFJ being at home in combat. Jesus fucking christ. And the crown of thorns. Jesus was a man riddled with scurvy and his name was james fitzjames. also the splinter thing he literally carries the ship with him in the most painful way possible. christ alive.

#I still have to get through terror camp clear but I think I'm going to cry if I read the cairn scene so I've avoided it thus far #but anyway #I've been sitting on these for a while and I just need to talk #also sofia fucking jokerfied me like god damn lady #the terror #the terror scripts #francis crozier #james fitzjames #sofia cracroft #sir john franklin #lady jane franklin #Henry Pelgar #John Bridgens #edward little #neptune #LIKE REALLY!!!!! I do love how this script really loves everybody in it for better or worse #anyways that's all I got for now will report back with more later perhaps

Recipe for Disaster (Goku x Reader one-shot)

Summary: Even though Goku and his ex-wife have been separated for a long time, you still feel like you're in Chi-Chi’s culinary shadow. Hoping to convince Goku of your newly acquired cooking skills, you go to great lengths to win his love (which we all know goes through his stomach). But what happens if your cooking skills don't turn out to be good enough after all? Link

#goku x reader #goku x you #Do not read when hungry #Deliberately mouthwatering #And not in a smut way this time! #son goku #bananabluish #Goku is a massive glutton here—perhaps even slightly worse than in the show #if that’s even possible…

imo the place where fanfiction shines the most is for finding takes on characters that differ from your own but are still compelling and have merit. cut away anything else about fanfiction that's good and this is is the real core of the appeal. but the problem with ace attorney fanfiction specifically is that during my many years of being a person who reads fanfiction i have never come across a body of fanwork that is quite as self-cannibalizing and stale. and i think there's a good few reasons for that but at the end of the day they they don't really matter

#im sure there are so so so many fandoms that have it worse #but theres a reason im not in those fandoms. #also the only other fandom i've ever read this Much fic for was homestuck though and its really not a fair metric #for gauging the quality of fanwork. to compare it to homestuck fanworks #because homestuck fans are lunatics #but point being perhaps id notice similar staleness in other fandoms if i had done more digging. but i really dont think so
