Dead Boy Detectives Cat King Spoilers

I ADORE the Cat King and I'm really fascinated by him and I just love how detailed everything about him is.

A few thoughts on him...

I love that he's living at Empire fish company to harken to his royal status.

I adore the headcannon that he's Desire's child. Especially since their actor tweeted about it!

I'm presuming since he had to ask which boy put the spell on his cat that he can't see through his cat's eyes, they have to report back to him. And, knowing cats, they have to want to report back too. They don't just do it out of obligation. So, I'd like to think he's a pretty decent ruler which is nice.

I love that his loneliness is tied in to almost every interaction he has with Edwin. From insisting that he likes to keep things consensual then putting a spell that forces them to be closer. To watching out for/stalking Edwin with his cats. To forcing him to tell the truth but only a little bit in a kind of desperate attempt to get Edwin to see he cares about him and embraces him for who he is. Edwin calling him lonely really doesn't come from nowhere to humanize him which I love. It's great that even the minor character's motivations are well thought through in the show.

I'm also not saying any of this behaivour is okay though. It's creepy and pathetic. But there's a few factors that make me love the character and not just write him off as an incel light creep (not that you can't like characters that are bad people but I don't even see him as really a bad person). Firstly... he's hot. Enough said. Another way that makes me emphasize with him is just that his actor is SO charismatic. It really does make a difference that he's just SO fun to watch. Also, not that I've never been harassed by a queer guy before, but him being not straight does help beat the incel/total creep vibes in my mind. Also, the way that he will push a boundary but say or do something that softens what he's done helps too. Like saying he thinks consent is important, like only sending the cats to watch the boys when they're actively doing something dangerous, like ranting and raving in the woods that Edwin will regret this but instead continuing to try to protect him from Esther. I think he clearly cares enough about Edwin that if Edwin was REALLY that uninterested in him and uncomfortable he would of just have given him a different punishment too. Admittedly however, having good intentions or not being as bad as you could be does not stop something from being inappropriate obviously. But I do think it definitely helps.

I also am not particularly bothered by any potential creepiness from the Cat King as the way in interviews everyone talks about him is that he had a very specific role to play. He was made to be Edwin's sexual awakening. Yes he could have just been a guy that like always seems to be obliviously shirtless going on runs or something like that and it would have been less problematic. But, for one, I'm sure Edwin's seen that before and just looks away when it happens. Two, Edwin is SO repressed I think it makes a lot of narrative sense that he needs someone SO pushy and desperate in return to wake him up. I don't see this as condoning this behaivour because real people aren't deeply repressed Victorian ghosts that couldn't access therapy even if they wanted to on account of being dead. So I'm willing to look past some of his worst actions since he by the end is clearly growing and is fictional and fantastical.

Furthermore, as I'm sure many people have seen in recent popular discourses media does not need to be morally pure. I don't think that that should be a get out of jail free card either though. Or that creatives should be allowed to make whatever offensive shit they want and then say but "it's art" or "it's satire". Context matters. It's important how you frame something. And sure the Cat King is not punished for his bad behaivour but he is framed in such a way that I feel like he is not supported for it either. He doesn't get "rewarded" with Edwin in the end. He's not even guaranteed to have his company in even a platonic way since they're heading back to London and he, presumably, has to stay in his kingdom (he calls himself A cat king so I'm assuming there's others elsewhere so he probably can't go to London and intrude on another's territory unless maybe it's just that there's one and he's not the first and a new one will pop up after he dies dies).

I personally like the idea of the Cat King and Edwin going from antagonists, to friends to lovers because I like their dynamic because messiness is fun in fiction and I like Charles and Crystal together (although I do love Charles/Edwin and Niko/Crystal too). But that's just me. Or even I would love for them to become friends and not date, but for the Cat King to be a safe friend for Edwin to explore his sexuality with in a kind of situation-ship before eventually being endgame with Charles.

Will and Alyss are trans here’s my essay

We talk a lot about how funny it is that Flanagan unintentionally wrote the gayest love story between Halt and Crowley in TEY, but holy shit we don’t talk enough about how he also managed to accidentally write the two most trans characters ever.

Alyss and Will being trans is a semi-popular headcanon that’s been in the fandom for ages now, but I haven’t seen many people really dive into why this headcanon is so prevalent. I think that partially has to do with the fact that, like any lgbtq+ identity, it’s pretty difficult to clock someone as trans without relying on trans stereotypes. Really, any character in the RA series could be trans if you chose to believe it since being trans doesn’t look any certain way. That being said, I do think there are some pretty clear qualities and experiences that Will and Alyss have that feel very close to my own experience with being transgender.

Physical appearance is usually the first thing people point out/notice when talking about this headcanon. Will is short, more so than one might expect from a cis man. Alyss is taller than most men and also has a deep voice. I have mixed feelings about people pointing to this as the only reason they think they’re trans. I mean, it makes enough sense for it to be the only reason since one part of being trans is the fact that one’s body doesn’t match their gender identity. What I don’t like about that being the only reason is that there’s so much more to the trans identity and experience than “body don’t match :(“

But that’s the cool thing about Will and Alyss, their physical appearance effects their perception of themselves the same way it does for a trans person (or a cis person really, but it feels much more prevalent in trans people). In the first book, Will is clearly uncomfortable with his height; almost any time it’s brought up, he replies with “I haven’t had my growth spurt yet”, almost defensively. Then, as Will becomes more comfortable with who he is, you can see it bother him less and less. I love this bc it’s exactly what happened with my dysphoria as I transitioned. The more I got to know myself and discover myself, the less my dysphoria bothered me.

As for Alyss, she is so clearly so confident with her appearance. She never tries to hide her height or voice. Although we don’t get to see her journey with those qualities, the way she’s so confident feels like something the earned. It’s something she maybe used to feel insecure about, then decided she gets to decide what femininity means to her. Her height and voice contribute to her elegance and femininity rather than contradict them.

Another thing about Will is his name and how it relates to his identity. I know Flanagan didn’t intend for any of this to be some trans allegory, but goddamn can I relate my trans experience to it. Will grew up without a last name, and you can see how deeply that effects him. It wasn’t just that he was “Will no-name”, he was missing a part of his identity. Hell, he said verbatim “at least you know who you are” to a fucking owl because he felt so confused and unheard (which btw is the most edgy teen thing he ever did).

Though you can see this missing part of his identity bother him less as he gained a support system, it’s still clear that he felt like something was missing. If he didn’t feel like something was missing, he wouldn’t have been so incredibly happy when he became “Will Treaty”. And when he got his last name, you can tell he’s proud, not because he finally has an identity, but because he finally has a name to match the identity he’s spent so long discovering and cultivating. He no longer expresses any sadness or grief that he doesn’t have his father’s last name, because he doesn’t need it to know who he is. He’s Will Treaty, and he’s perfectly happy with being exactly that. This is the most trans-coded naming experience holy shit.

Anyway that’s all I have to say about this (for now at least). Go give your local trans friend a kiss.

Sharing the bed with various CRP characters 1/2

Same song and dance as the cuddling post! If theres any characters you want to see, let me know! If theres also any specific scenarios you want to see dont hesitate to drop them, love doing these kinds of posts

Characters: Slenderman, Splendorman, Eyeless Jack, Laughing Jack, Masky, Hoodie, Jeff, Puppeteer

Notes: Reader is GN, can be seen as romantic or platonic

CWs: mentions of blood but it's nothing huge, better safe than sorry though

Slenderman

He hardly ever crawls into bed with you, on nights where he is with you he tends to linger in the corner- or if you insist, he will take a seat on the foot of your bed if you feel the first was.. creepy.. not that this solution is any better- he is never going to lay down, thus, with a broken heart I have to give him the first rating of 1/10, with his only saving grace that he will protect you should anything happen

Splendorman

Unlike his fellow slenderbeing, Splendor is more than willing to crawl into bed and try to lay with you! It's a bit of a tight fit, though, even with him manipulating his body as small as it can get... it can get a little uncomfortable, unfortunately. And spirit can only make someone so comfortable.. 3/10

Eyeless Jack

I personally headcanon that hes on the shorter side- 5'5 to 5'7, so thankfully space isnt an issue! He runs cold, so if the nights are hot hes a good option for a cuddle buddy! But how is he in his sleep? He sleeps like a rock- he doesnt move or shift around all that much so you're unlikely to be disturbed! He.. does snore, though, or at least that's what it loosely is. Its more like gurgling due to any of his gripping goo getting into his throat- not a good noise.. will wake up coughing and spluttering.. 5/10, a pretty average sleeping experience

Laughing Jack

He doesnt need to sleep and he can only pretend sleep for so long before he gets antsy- it takes him a while to understand that you need your sleep and how much you need. He doesnt mind staying in bed and cuddling with you to pass the time- hes very large, warm, and comfy so it's not a terrible set up! Sometimes pretends sleep, complete with a fake snore. A little big for the bed at I feet tall, and sometimes snatches the blanket to fully sell the "fake sleep" thing as well as rag dolling on you 6/10

Masky

He doesnt sleep around you, it's just a little quirk of his that he doesnt let his guard down at all- he doesnt exactly distrust you but its.. complicated. Hesitant when you offer to let him crawl into bed with you, he's rather fond of the little perch hes made in the corner of your room, but you cannot deny that he looks like a sleep paralysis demon to your fuzzy sleepy brain. Still as a corpse in bed, WILL yank the blanket back if you steal it in your sleep 7/10 not very disruptive otherwise

Hoodie

Will crawl into bed with you and get up close to you, loves pulling you close to him during the night. Falls asleep after you do, though he probably watches you in your sleep... smells like wet leaves and mulch 7.5/10, he let's you take his hoodie sometimes or even just crawl into it with him. Does not give a shit if it gets stretched out he can always get another one. Sleeps between you and the door to the bedroom

Jeff

Heavy sleeper and he snores loud, so good luck with that. Probably also a blanket thief. Bounces between staying up all night or falling asleep the second he hits the bed- really it depends on what hes been up to... at least he usually has the manners to take his bloodstained hoodie off before crawling into your bed.. probably kicks in his sleep.. 4/10

Puppeteer

Very hard and very cold, and I don't think he would need to sleep but can if he desires. Wants to be the one cuddled, just make sure to bundle up with some extra blankets so you can stay warm! Doesnt snore but you can hear his joints creak with each movement- you know, puppet stuff.. 5/10, not terrible but not spectacular

Based on the shows history with Eddie, I’m not expecting the Abuela and Shannon pop ups to do anything more then propel him into the find new wife for himself and new mother for Chris mission successful. Especially with Edy still on set and them almost being done with the season. Why bother going for a better story when a lazy makes no sense hetero story will do just fine. It’s their specialty when it comes to Eddie after all. Plus They already got that extra queer rep with Buck and Tommy 🙃

Yeah, *sigh* I feel the same on the Eddie front.

God forbid the talent that is Ryan will get a worthy story when we get two white dudes getting the interesting storylines.

I mean, much as love Buck being thrown into curious situations, I am getting tired of the storylines Eddie keep getting, because that's always more of the same, and that's exhausting.

If they weren't going to invest in his story they could have tied him to the first gf he had - being the serial monogamist that he is - and have his storyline revolve around domestic problems, new babies and managing that with work - at least we'd be clear of what his essence is aside from loving Buck like they've been married and intimate for years.

They had that queer rep with Henren and David and Michael - which WAS a great rep and such a well written relationship! I miss them and Michael's interactions with Bobby are sorely missing as well.

I don't think that Buck's storyline is as happy and healthy as ppl make it to be, Tommy literally left him for feeling uncomfortable and fibbing in front of his best friend because he's newly minted out of the closet and maybe he wanted to figure this out by himself first before sharing it with the people closest to him?

Tommy had no right to get upset, and if he wasn't sure of them, he shouldn't have agreed to go to that wedding with Buck, he should have said that he understands where Buck is coming from and to take this slow and that there is no pressure - and maybe keep this friendly until they figure out what they want to be together.

Buck, it felt to me, that has done what he did, the chasing that he said he wouldn't do, because in a certain way he is still in a place where he pleases people even though it is his journey to make and no one should push him to get to that finish line as fast as possible.

Like I said before this is more of the same, Buck does this chasing because like Taylor said, and not in a kind way mind you, that he can't stand not being liked by everyone.

Eddie nudging him to call tommy wasn't exactly the best thing either, because would Buck have still done it if he wasn't told to?

A lot of things don't sit well with me in this story, I've made journeys with my friends when they first came out, one as early as the seventh grade, it is not something that becomes normal immediately, I also saw after the fact what happened when one is shoved out of the closet to his family and friends by force. And how my best friend still bears the guilt of being gay almost 20+years later because that's not how he was raised, and his father didn't accept him, and his first serious boyfriend was a demanding asshole.

He didn't seem like this to us, he was friendly and seemed like a really good guy, but neither one of us knew what really happened there until my friend opened up about it years later.

So when I say Buck's story feels rushed, I talk from experience.

So maybe we have queer rep (which we had before only it wasn't bi) but it doesn't feel like quite there to me, maybe it's the flawed writing, maybe that's the way it was intended to be told to get to some kind of turning point and epiphanies, who knows? I've learned not to expect higher purpose from this show.

I will tell you that though, if the whole Eddie story is to push him to somehow marry M I will retire from this show, I mean that is the laziest form of writing there is, and makes this show completely unwatchable for me, because there is no way we were dragged 7 seasons just so that Eddie can force marry some lukewarm LI out of the need to follow the traditional hetero normative need he was raised into.

Especially since originally Eddie was the one who was supposed to be the coming out story, it would be disappointing on so many levels and I'm not even touching buddie here.

Ryan deserves better than to end with that kind of crappy story-telling.

No webcomic has made me as uncomfortable as 'I Tamed my Ex-Husband's Mad-Dog' *Mini Rant post*

The fact that the FL took in the ML when he was 16 while she was (I believe) 21-22 and they have a romance???? Not while he was 16, I believe he was over 18 when it began but STILL. I was hoping it wouldn't actually be romance and rather devotion turned toxic but ~no~ it's romance. It's so uncomfortable it makes my skin CRAWL.

And the fact that the FL took him in while he was starving and completely alone knowing it'd make him loyal to her is super creepy. This whole webcomic is so creepy.

The only other comic I know that made me so uncomfortable I had to stop was the one on Tapas where the two adopted siblings grew up together and still had a romance. Bc blood related or not, that's your sibling!!! It's weird!!!!!!!

#i tamed my ex husband's mad dog #tapas #webtoon #For the record #the age gap isn't necessarily the issue #Though it does also make me uncomfortable #It's the fact that FL was taking care of him when he was a minor and they still have a romance #if it had been flipped people would've lost their shit #bc that shit is called ~grooming~

Käärijä is ready to let cha cha cha go, I hope he can soon. Let Häärijä wear the yellow or green bolero, so that Käärijä can put more focus on his usual music, while also having the opportunity, time, and creative freedom to experiment to his heart's content. That way he can compartmentalize cha away into its folder, still perform it because it is the song that rocketed him into fame, and not grow to hate it.

(P.S. My liege, pls feed me I crave your bangers)

#ngl im getting bored of it too #i need NEED more music from Käärijä i need the bangers that slap me around #and i will return to cha cha cha sometimes and welcome it like an old friend #i mean he did say that they listened to it a million times and still found it fun and thats (also) why they chose it #but he's allowed to get tired of it #just hope he can have a say in it -- he's at his best when he does what he wants but this type of freedom is not common in the mainstream #there are a few paths ahead of him #i want him to choose the path that will make gim the happiest #he found his audience who will fiercely support him through all because they all want the best for him #käärijä #it is morning i have a migraine im hot and i havent had my coffee yet #i like Käärijä is all #seeing all the videos from last night made me mushy even though some made me kinda uncomfortable lmao #im a back row bitch

love hate relationship. with sociology. this quarter. on one hadn sociology. the subject. very cool very interesting. enjoying. on the other hand. my teacher is on some bullshit sometimes

#while she is generally well intentioned. with placing emphasis on corporate influence to our consumption of products. she then goes and puts #the pressure on individual people to reduce carbon footprints. which you can and should do but i feel like she does not address the scale #at which these actions are meaningless in the face of larger corporations. while we should all aspire to be better. about our consumption #it is not the individuals fault. unless you are a billionare. in my opinionnnnnn. #also shes lowkey fatphobic. ive been trying to figure out if this is a result of phd in sociology. or consuming fatphobic documentaries. or #personal bias. regardless it is weird and off putting and it makes me uncomfortable.......... and she also . not fully blames but does blam #people for being fat. which like. please youre literally a sociologist teaching about social problems. i feel like you have other prioritie #also the afformentioned. bothsidsing it of israel's genocide. most likely a result . of how proud she is that she does not consume american #news coverage. ONLY BRITISH. i feel as though this may be worse. that she only gets news from the bbc. famously. supporters of israel. #she has not explicitly talked about palestine in class but she did mention it basically exactly the same way as that question did. earlier #this quarter. which is such a bullshit cop out for talking about genocide. #sorry for conducting a profile of beliefs of my sociology teacher shes just been on my mind. need to explode her or something

once again posting a reminder (very gently, when you consider how fucking frustrated i am) that i am anti-kff! there are otherkin terms that people can use and, instead of educating themselves on this, they actively CHOOSE to belittle and bully otherkin folks, all while being a teensy tiny little bit ableist in how they go about it. its not a "erm these people are just minding their business and they're ALSO kin anyway" NO they are NOT. they are, by very fucking definition, either 'hearted or 'link (IF their connection is genuine ANYWAYS). that is NOT. KIN. and its kinda fucking telling if you think a community whose entire existence hinges on deliberate ignorance and harassment of a group is equal to the group theyre harassing and bastardising the terms and experiences of

#am i making ANY FUCKING SENSE #i swear to GOD #"dni antikin (this includes anti-kff) no the FUCK it does NOT #because kff ISNT. KIN #JESUS FUCKING! CHRIST!!! #kff “kins” are LINKTYPES and HEARTTYPES most often (again. if theyre not just being hashtag quirky on the internet) #also please please fuck off if you use the word “k/nn/e” i dont even care if you arent kff just. please go away #im stressed as balls man i dont like having to think about shit that stresses me out and annoys me but here i am! thinking about it! #this isnt directed at anyone btw i just keep seeing “omg this character is one of my biggest kins (kff)” and im so fucking tired of it #its mainly on tiktok anyways so im kinda shouting at air but fuck off #and like even when i see other ACTUAL otherkin/nonhuman/alterhuman folks say “oh yeah i 'kin' this character for fun” #it makes me so aggressively uncomfortable cause just. use 'link' man #use 'click' or 'heart' #stop Doing That cause thats not a fucking kintype and you are contributing to the problem (though minorly compared to other stuff) #theres also this one server wherein people would act and talk about their hearttypes as if they were kintypes despite outright saying - #- THEMSELVES “oh yeah this is a hearttype” #do you know what a fucking hearttype is? #are you stupid?

All the time, I hear about how there are people filtering Cersei through the lens of "poor misunderstood woobified victim who was trying her best and never actually did anything bad" and. WHERE ARE THEY?? WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE?????

BECAUSE THIS HAS VERY MUCH NOT BEEN MY EXPERIENCE

#like I have no doubt that they exist somewhere #but I have never seen them! #90% of what I see is 'I hate her because she's a one-dimensional bitch and here are all of the horrible things I think she deserves' #I always wonder if these people are talking about me even though it would make no sense for them to even know I exist #(<-girl who notably does not often tag her cersei posts) #but. me saying 'here's where I think she was coming from' or 'sometimes she'll say something and I'll go 'yeah I get it' ' or 'there is #something very visceral and real and compelling and relatable about her' is not. me saying that she is a good person lol. #I have on several if not many occasions specifically mentioned how she is not A Good Person™ and that #I understand if her flaws make people uncomfortable. #(but I also talk about how I don't understand what makes her uniquely awful compared to other popular characters across various #franchises so I. again. DO wonder if the 'people excuse everything she did ever and think she's Good™' comments refer to me sometimes) #ANYWAY. the point is that people have sympathy for horrible actions when they come from anyone else but not from her hmmm gee I wonder why #people will try to be 'objective' and 'narratively-focused' in character evaluation unless it's her

Ummmmmm things are happening in my brain again........

#really sappy things...... #in my anton dad au. anton adopted amy years before he met jazz. there's two main reasons for this #1) canon compliance that I like also turning into silly lore and 2) I don't have any interest in raising a really young kid #I'm not changing that bc the idea of actually having/raising a baby with him makes me so uncomfortable I don't even like typing it out #however. the idea of him Wanting a kid with jazz (outside of that au‚ when they don't have amy) makes me so goddamn mushy sometimes #he wants to be a dad and he wants to raise a kid with jazz bc he loves him so much and wants them to have a family and... aouuuuu 🥺😭🥺😭 #but I will not be doing this bc I'm more comfortable with my fankid au as it stands Now. amy was around Before jazz #but The Thought. it does things to me. #thinking about him really wanting a kid and then getting all giddy when he finally has one... it's so cute... so sweet... #but only in one-off daydreams. bc making him want a kid in our main (i.e. non-au) ship when he's NOT going to get one sucks and is annoying #it's so sweet though. him having a conversation with jazz where he tells him he wants to be a dad and wants jazz to be part of that.... #lays on the floooorrrrrr #roz posts #♡: 🔨🎰🥃 #s: it's happy hour

last magireco bitching post for tonight i promise but i think all those people who complain that sayaka and homura are abusive and horrible and unreasonable for the crime of being manipulated and traumatized 14 year olds in awful situations and arent perfect little victims about it should go watch magireco and have their brains implode bc i think yachiyo is like. so much worse

#like yachiyo is actually an adult first of all they say shes in college and has been working for seven years #and i wont deny shes been through shit. shes felt guilty for her wish and watched her friends die #shes still a sympathetic character where u get why shes cold. but GOD the way she treats mifuyu makes me uncomfortable #like she regrets the worst of it when her doppel shows up but the narrative and mifuyu still go #''oh no yachiyo you ARE right to say that tee hee'' #yachiyo gives me the vibe of someone who's like ''well IM suffering because of my choices. so should YOU'' #also how she gets pissed at mifuyu for getting taken into a cult when shes at her lowest #and again keeps calling her weak like. good lord leave her alone #like. at least sayaka has a clear reason for acting the way she does and we see that in the show #shes guilty and traumatized from mami's death and is selfless to a fault #she blames homura for mami's death because of her own prejudices that have been instilled in her by then #she basically self sabotages and hurts herself because she thinks shes worthless compared to mami #she lost her childhood friend who. tbh really WASNT treating her well like obv he doesnt owe her a romance #but hes her childhood friend and he basically constantly brushes her off in the show #and we see more of that in rebellion where he does the same to hitomi #like. sayaka fucks up she gets cruel but you GET why she does it and it feels earned and good for the plot #yachiyo though. part of this is just character bloat and the weird pacing but her nastiness doesnt feel earned #yes season 2 shows that she wants to distance herself from others because her friends died. thats fair #that explains why she was cold in season 1. sure. thats fine that works as an arc and i usually love arcs like this #but then she's cruel to the lower grunts who were absolutely manipulated into the magias #and constantly implies theyre weak #and berates mifuyu (her best friend apparently) for breaking down after learning the truth #because ''oh well we DID accept this. we were idiots after all. lmao get over it and fight again'' #and mifuyu is evil incarnate that must repent forever for. getting dragged into a cult at her lowest moment #after her friend was a dick to her fresh off her trauma. and of course leaving her which gave her Abandonment Issues #god sorry maybe the rest of the show will save it for me maybe itll call out this behavior from her #also it bugs me how even her cold behavior isnt really mentioned and shes just fawned over by the rest of the cast #like. sayaka and homura's behavior was called out as unhealthy and bad for them and the others! #echoed voice

I've been doing interludes lately (as you do during an interlude campaign) and the gap in quality and character analysis is insane sometimes. I did Qsh and Nezha's back to back and... Night and day over here. Qsh's was so charming and showed me a new side of my beloved moth, as well as some really cute gap moe moments. Nezha's was boring, hardly focussed on them at all, and made the same tired jokes about their gender over and over... Even the blurb on their profile you get after it's complete does it orz

#also the writing for Nezha's was like... bad. it felt stiff and didn't flow at all #not the content (though that was bad also) the actual writing #i went to read that one specifically because i was curious about what Nezha's pronouns were orz... #because im hot overly familiar with them and the one thing i do recall about them is when we first meet them- #they remark on how their body isn't what they expected and are... upset i believe? it was a while ago aha... #i just recall them pretty distinctly not being cool with the fact they have a female body now #i wanted to know if they came arpund to itor if they wanted to be refered to as a man but okay #tasteless jokes about how gender makes them uncomfortable is fine to i guess #anyway! for now until further notice i guess Nezha is stuck with the old reliable they/them because genuinely i have no idea how they feel #i know their profile uses she/her but... pretty sure Mordred's does that as well and he obviously doesn't use those #whatever i guess!! don't know why i expected an even remotely nuances take from fgo who cares lets talk about my moth!!! #i love how they have a whole backup plan in case we fail like yes king restart SIN you're a genius babygirl 💕 #seriously so cute i love them #i dunno if i can resist grailing them to 100 next tiem we have an ember campaign #i put it off so far since i dont use them much gameplay wise but... moth good #these tags got away from me woops #game: fate grand order #post: chatter #sorry about the typos that I'm sure are there btw I'm on mobile and you can't re-edit tags without retyping them yet...

To be clear this is the second establishment he dragged them to after the first one ran out of drinks

#Yakuza liveblog #hes .... i cannot fucking say anything .. this is the ultimate man #uneducated illiterate magnificent cleavage cant stop starting fights bad at acting and somehow with the poker face of legends and also #apparently an alcohol machine and sleepy drunk it does not get much better than this #god i just realised that saigo had to carry the dog around because it was already asleep in the first drinking place thats so cute .. #he didnt gradually fall asleep either he was literally talking before he passed out and slumped over like he just died #ryoma is literally so funny he decided that theyre gonna be best friends because he won a fist fight and even though theyre clearly #uncomfortable with getting so close hes like You MUST follow me NOW we are drinking #and then hes like waiter bring every drop of alcohol under this roof to us im not planning to see the sun tomorrow #like after they left the first place saigo and kogoro were like okay goodbye haha we had lots of fun but i have to go home and ryoma was #like oh ? You thought we were done ? Follow me im making sure one of us dies tonight #i cant believe how consistent his character is . every time i think oh kiryu never runs out of stamina kiryu can pound all night (drinks or #pussy) kiryu makes bad decisions when hes drunk and loses all ability to be reasoned with and ryoma just goes ahead and makes it canon #the way he just doesnt stop until he drops is so funny .... ryomer

< thinking about peipre and dexter’s dynamic

#they’re friends in law ur honor #but also like. him going ‘you scare me’ and her going ‘oh no I don’t mean to how can we improve this without making either of us #uncomfortable’ and a hypothetical dress up montage in which peipre confirms that she likes dark colors and also super doesn’t like dressing #up pretty. she does appreciate the effort though. and marrow has lots of fun suggesting outfits if he’s along for the ride

me : *constantly talks to him* *asks for advice* *shows him exams from other classes* *tries to get his attention* *tries to get him to compliment me* *vaguely tells him about my issues so he asks about it*

also me : surely he doesn't know i see him as a father figure 😋👍

#btw despite trying all this he doesn reciprocate #i mean kinda #i mean it's complicated #like i told him a guy in my class who is very right wing makes me uncomfortable because of the things he says #and when that guy called somone gay as an insult and called someone the r slur my teacher got realllyyyyy mad #cuz he knows I'm a lesbian and I've hinted at thinking i might be nd #and my friend who sits next to me is actually ND soooo that didn't fly well with my teacher and I'm so happy he said something #and he immediately looked at me after!!!! i was having a really bad day that day and it made it so much better #but like whenever i say something mean about myself #like not in a compliment fishing way but rather as a I'm insecure so it just comes out of my mouth way #he doesn't disagree #and i know as a teacher you generally shouldn't be the one person to therapize your student #but like a little don't say that about yourself would be great #also I'm like the best in his class but I'm a perfectionist because of that and i keep being 1 point away from full points #and like he just makes fun of me for it #i know he means it nicely and that's just his humor and why i like him in the first place #but I've never gotten a good job from him #maybe he's just not a complimenting type?? i wish he would say one single nice thing about me though #he DOES recommend me a bunch of stuff and we talk a lot and that's probably how he shows he cares #so I'm trying to get used to that instead of expecting words of affirmations #teacher crush community #tcc #father figure teachers

im probably the only person who doesnt see shtopor as being transgender am i

note: this isn't about anybody in particular this is just about the trope of making shtopor transgender and the fact i just don't like it as a transgender person myself. this is a vent-ish post.

#thats so trans boy swag #i really dont like saying about a cisgender man who had his penis cut off by religious extremists lol #there's a lot of bad tropes that could be accidentally stepped into by making him transgender but i personally feel like the fact that he l #like. woke up in an INSANE ASYLUM.... #finding out that his PENIS WAS CUT OFF and stolen by religious extremists #is definitely sure one of those bad ones #like the people saying hes transgender literally does not harm me (even though i am also transgender) #i just don't like it #because it makes me personally uncomfortable #even though theres not really anything i can do to stop that or like change it #even if i WANTED to change that
