#and i simply did not notice

[chaosandcrimes]

I think it's very sad how baffled the women in my family were when I told them I didn't care to watch what I ate.

it wasn't this big deal or huge declaration yk. we were having food, my aunt offered these chocolate biscuits I like and while I was munching she said "you're lucky these are only sold in small batches" and instead of telling her that id been trying to replicate them I said "I think you can just go to the factory actually" then she looked confused and made a comment on how fat id get and then I said "oh I'm not concerned with my weight. I just want to enjoy things" and she looked so baffled and all my other aunts just kinda turned to face me and mom laughed and said my name in a scolding way. I don't know it was strange to me. I hadn't realised I never spoke about things like this to them. but I have very few things I like more than making and/or enjoying fun little treats and I just don't understand why they seemed so concerned.

I think it's very important to enjoy things and make little things or try new foods.

#this is sorta what i mean when i say that i have the makings of a hedonist #the thing is that i have really bad eating habits #in that i will go a full 24 hours and only have water #my body doest do the conventional hunger symptoons #so I set little alarms but sometimes I shut them off without it registering that those were to food timers #and so when i realised i was more likely to eat if the items were new or i actively made them myself #i made an effort to try receipes and buy things #it doesnt always work #but I enjoy making things #and its one of those 'reasons to live' sort of things #to try new foods and such #make things #i dunno #but yeah they were very confused and it's sad to me that it's something they place emphasis on #also very funny i didnt notice #like they could have been trying to subtly wean me off what they considered bad habits #and i simply did not notice

I think that whoever invented noise cancelling headphones/earphones should be kissed on the mouth. How did we as a society live without this

#i always forget sounds bother me until i'm randomly distressed and then simply turn the sounds off and feel an immediate calm #i was explaining to my therapist how i go to the store with noise cancelling headphones so now i can put my groceries away when i get back #and she was like 'this might be a lot to take in but you really sound auti-' way ahead of you #it did take her a month to notice! i'm winning at being normal

You know, for a show with so many female characters that so many of us love given how they all get time in the spotlight one way or another and they fill that time up rather wonderfully since they are deeper and more developed than what we're used to seeing in general media, it is peculiar (to say the least) to see so few "alternative" ships to the main one.

I'm not saying the canon ship doesn't deserve its attention -- I'm wondering instead why the canon ship and it alone seem to guide the WN fans who just so happen to enjoy writing/reading fic or fanart or whatever.

You'd think all these cool women would inspire more ships or combinations thereof, but those of us who aren't invested in avatrice just... Float along, around one another, ignored (and, yes, mostly undisturbed too; being unpopular does have its advantages and that includes a lot less weirdos leaving you strange or awkward messages -- it does not, however, shield us from people flooding our goddamn tags on AO3 with fic that has nothing to do with our little ships and I do wish such negligence of the pairing itself meant we didn't have to deal with this spam...)

I am also not saying that fandom activity should be based solely on shipping (and recently someone on Reddit was rather confused by the fact that a lot of it is, which is quite an interesting topic to discuss in itself -- after all, there is more to fan creativity than shippy fic... Or there used to be), merely that, here, it appears that a canon relationship can outshine interest in the other, non-canon ones. It's already there and it was doubtless well-done by the show, so it's natural that it should claim people's attention, sure. It's just that being canon was never the parameter for whether people were interested in these or those two (or more) characters maybe being involved and trying to explore what that could mean through fanwork.

There has always been a complaint haunting fandom spaces concerning the minuscule amounts of f/f fic, art, discussion, w/e based on how few (interesting or sympathetic or relatable) female characters there are in media at large. So what I'm curious about is why fan creations made around WN -- a show that finally gives us a whole cast of female characters that are what we have been craving for decades -- don't also reflect its diversity.

There are alternative ships (I'm here, all happy in my tiny Doctor Superion bubble, and I know there are Camila/Lilith, Ava/Lilith, Mary/Shannon, Mary/Lilith shippers out there, so a warm hello to you if you're reading this), but go on AO3 and compare the numbers of things tagged with these proper pairings to the grand total of WN stories. Better (or worse) still, do so with the "otp: true" trick or simply by excluding avatrice from the search to see how many are left.

It's... A considerable difference. And a mystery, at least to me.

#tagging this as #warrior nun #simply because i'd like to talk about this and maybe some of you have thoughts or theories about it #i just ask you engage in good faith if you do. i'm not pointing fingers at avatrice people i think they're fine and dandy #i'm just -- to reiterate -- surprised at how little interest there is in other ships when the potential is all there #(is it because they're nuns? that never stopped avatrice so why should it stop others...) #(besides lilith is hardly still a nun after s2. bea left. mary didn't really take vows did she? you really thought i was a nun she says...) #meta fandom talk i guess #then again about the nun thing... i have noticed a lot of people just go for aus. i can't recall ever being in a fandom with SO many aus #is the religious aspect an issue by any chance? i also recall someone commenting on how little a part religion played in these aus #curious. very curious. #i imagine some of you are wondering why i care when i don't even read fic but -- #-- to quote jillian salvius herself i am a curious person and well you are a curiosity lol

You know how you can be in a fandom for years and simply not think or notice things?

Hakuba Saguru. Saguru Hakuba. S.H. Sherlock Holmes.

How did I miss the joke for years-

#dcmk #detco #detective conan #hakuba saguru #look #in my defense #I just never really use the 2nd type of spelling #I legit just call him Hakuba ngl #and yes I am aware 90% of names are puns and jokes and references #and that he did literally go around cosplaying Sherlock while on cases #but #BUT #do consider #I am simply just not good at noticing things and THINKING #like it probably did occur to me before #but it just didn't click #okay?

Part of the reason I think people are under the impression that punk and, by extension, anarchy is at the core just animalistic, primitive rebelling against everything is that so many people can't imagine a work without systems of power and even oppression. A "better world" can't exist without these systems of power, so any attempt to go against it will be seen as a fruitless endeavor... we already live in a wonderful system, you see, why would you rock the boat by suggesting that we could do better for others?

#politics #punk #and i've noticed this (conveniently (sarcastic)) applies so much more to systems that are *not* western or standard #there were so many other countries and cultures and people i learned of who were framed into a 'primitive' or 'animalistic' role because... #...they simply did not operats the way that is seen as 'normal and right' #and this almost always has a racial component to it - in the USA i noticed this especially with our indigenous #this is *not* to say that punks are just as maligned as those whose entire CULTURE is seen this way... #...but to observe what i think is going on in people's heads when they think like this #i think it's a fascinating topic specifically because of how... stubborn it is so to say #it is the fundamental belief that This Is Right No Matter Who It Hurts

[bunnihearted]

i just feel sad then numb then empty rn

#thats why im not replying to anyone rn #feeling very avoidant #it feels strange for me to even say this bc i cant comprehend anyone caring abt me at all #but i did notice that i got some messages and asks but i just get scared and then feel bad nd stupid when i simply try to look at them #so sorry for ignoring ppl..... im like just at my wits' end or smth like that

AG AU where Billy is recruited, ignores Jerry and hangs out with those people who look like the gremlin in his head (who apparently logged off their mind otherwise the plot wouldn't work).

The shady lady Jeralt always told them to watch out for has a strange hat, but she talks to them and even said she enjoys spending time with them, even if they don't say a thing or eat a strange fruit together. Sometimes she talks about their mom, a woman called Sitri, and recalls stories and anecdotes and Billy feels closer to the mother they never met than to Jeralt.

(then Billy felt immensely wrong and guilty, because they are the reason why Sitri isn't alive anymore and is it their fault? Jerry drunkily said Sitri died to birth them, it's as if they killed her :( - the shady and evil lady then hugs them - it's so awkward for the both of them but Billy feels so strange and they hug the evil lady back, crying for the first time, and they cry even more when the evil lady tells them Sitri would never have wanted them to feel sad about her fate because she chose their life over hers (she still doesn't tell them about the magic rock).)

The young lady who loves to talk about romance and to ask them how was the world they saw was saddened when they told her they don't like to be called Ashen Demon - so she calls them Billy, and gives them a new nickname : "Big Tuna", because they can catch a lot of fishes.

Billy found this nickname so ridiculous, but was happy to have something else, that they laughed, and from now introduced themselves as "Big Tuna".

The "not-fun" man who always frowns, well, frowns but often asks them to help him "supervise" stuff here and there - but he is different from Jeralt, because when Billy does something he thanks and congratulates them - saying it is important to convey his gratitude for the help he received through Billy's actions, which leaves Billy puzzled - what even are thanks? They grow more and more puzzled when some randoms, from kids to knights to monks to random persons thank them, and they finally ask the "not-fun" man if they could continue making people smile after the war.

Seteth is surprised, but nods : if they want, when the war will be over, they could join a place called Garreg Mach, to help and make people smile all around Fodlan.

(Jerry returns from a two weeks long mission, and sees his kid eating an inedible fruit with Rhea and her clique, sitting a on magically warmed rock, and now Billy call themselves "Big Tuna" and say they want to make people smile by helping not by killing anymore, just like their Mother did before, and even now after, her death.)

Post AG when the war is over : Billy joins Garreg Mach and learns Faith magic to heal people (without charging them a fee!) and becomes the fishing instructor of Garreg Mach, thus becomes popular with the students who leanr how to focus and how "it is important to rest. And please, try not to drop your belongings on the floor."

#Nopes nonsense #Fodlan nonsense #lizard family time? #Billy stuff #let them bond with their fam IS #the green one #i was just thinking #imagine Billy feeling so bad after hearing stories about Sitri because Sitri felt like an amazing person who could emote unlike them #why did she die to birth an 'abnormal' kid jeralt often calls them not normal #and then Rhea says Sitri had the same difficulties to express her emotions and yet became a valuable and loved member of GM's family #Jerry tries his best #but even Billy notices it's nowhere near enough #And Jerry knows it but he's afraid Billy will simply ditch them #of course they don't #and thus they have familial reunions on a giant warm rock Rhea magically warms #with Cyril Flayn'n'Seteth and Jerry'n'Billy #of course Sothis doesn't return

Yusei smiles with his eyes more than his mouth, so he eventually has those eye smile line wrinkles, which become a really good tell for whether he's actually smiling because they crinkle up even more and make it more clear.

Jack on the other hand gets them near his mouth and the only times he hates them is when they betray him because they seem to "smile" even when he's trying not to. A lot. He doesn't know how to stop it! However aside from that he likes how they make him look.

Crow gets- nah, who am I kidding? Baby looks 15 even at 35 and still gets ID'ed when buying PAINKILLERS (one time he got ID'ed and then right after Leo DID NOT and the gang couldn't stop laughing at Crow's exasperation)

Absolutely adored the Draenei heritage quest and think it's probably the best one we've gotten, but my favorite part of all by far was seeing these two again. I love how they brought back so many different characters connected to the Draenei from across the entire history of the game, especially as someone who has been playing my Draenei since BC, but these two are so special to me and seeing them again, still together after all this time made me giddy.

#World of Warcraft #Draenei #Asric #Jadaar #Asric/Jadaar #they are the ORIGINAL shippable silly guys #the last thing I expected when I started the questline was for these two to show up #the whole thing was so wonderful and emotional for someone who is super invested in the draenei #but also I loved and shipped these two a lot when I was young and just...ahhhh I'm happy ^_______^ #if u told 16 year old me that in the year of our lord 2024 Jadaar would pull strings to get Asric into a special draenei ceremony #I simply would not have been able to handle it lol #such a little tiny thing and silly dialogue #but that's basically what these two have always been and I think that is kind of part of what makes WoW so charming #that they have these little small goofy things #and that all these years later they still remember them #there's so many things wrong with the game and the industry #but SOMETIMES...I still just really am fond of it...unbearably so #ADFSGHFJGKL JUST NOTICED SOMEONE ELSE MADE ALMOST THIS EXACT POST JUST BEFORE I DID 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 #I'm gonna leave it up for my own posterity tho :P #I admit this post would've been made yesterday but I forgot to screenshot the dialogue #so I power leveled a new draenei to 50 so I could get the dialogue to post lmaooooo #that's my main in the pic tho >_>

Something that SEEERIOUSLY isn’t talked about enough among Rodrigue fans is how Rodrigue (almost? or generally) always refers to Dimitri as “Your/His Highness” except in the moment that Dimitri’s life was at risk right in front of Rodrigue and Rodrigue shielded him with his own body.

Rodrigue is always respectful and aware of their stations, but none of that matters when Dimitri is almost killed. Rodrigue reacts emotionally without station in mind, forgetting to refer to him in an “appropriate” manner and reacting instead in a more intimate manner (i.e. using a person’s name instead of their title).

Most people wouldn’t dare to refer to their prince by their first name, but Rodrigue forgets all that the moment Dimtiri is in danger. He follows up that familial intimacy by calling Dimitri “my boy”. In a way it’s like Rodrigue's formalities are just forced expectations that are ingrained into him, because his actual instinct is to refer to Dimitri in a familial way. If he doesn’t have time to think about what he’s saying, it will be Dimitri’s name that he uses because that’s how he truly thinks of Dimitri.

He doesn’t solely view Dimitri as his prince. He views Dimitri as family, and in a setting where royalty exists, it’s so important to the relationship in question when that societal expectation is broken, simply because it tells you exactly what that character thinks of their royalty.

When royalty’s life is in danger, it would even make sense for people to hesitate because if they do anything, they might also be in danger and generally humans instinctually prioritize their own life (even if they do really want to step in to help). That typically is not the case with humans regarding loved ones, where that instinct instead changes to an instinct where they automatically step in to protect people dear to them - especially parents to their children. Parents - not just in humans but in most forms of life (cats, dogs, etc) - are extremely protective of their children and react without a second - even a first - thought, because it’s not a thought at all when they see their children in danger. It’s a base reaction.

Rodrigue wasn’t witnessing his prince being attacked. He was witnessing his son being attacked, and he reacted as a father would - not as a knight, a vassal or anyone under Dimitri’s station and how they would be expected to react to protect him. Dimitri didn’t have to be his blood son for him to react the same way a blood parent would. Dimitri wasn’t born to him but he was Rodrigue’s son all the same and he couldn’t accept his boy being harmed.

I love that his reaction is exactly the same as what Lambert would have done. I love that in that one moment when he didn’t have time to think about his word choice, such important stations meant absolutely nothing to him. I love that what was important to him was Dimitri the person, and not Dimitri the prince. I love that at the very end, he died knowing his boy was safe and alive. I love that, when he starts reusing “Your Highness”, it’s only after the immediate danger has passed and he has time to actually process his word choice again, because it really drives home how quickly and thoughtlessly he reacted to seeing Dimitri in danger when he dropped formalities to use his first name.

He also didn’t tell him to live for the people or live because he was a prince. He wanted Dimitri to remember to live for himself and likely died with the hope that those being his last words would be taken much more heavily and sincerely, and give Dimitri a lot to think about in regard to caring for himself as a person and not just seeing himself as a prince/future king, because Rodrigue also saw him as a person.

Not only did Rodrigue protect his son (which mind you must have been extremely important to him after already losing a son. Can you imagine how devastated he would be to lose another child? This time he saved a son from death, which he was unable to do previously and he wasn’t present to be able to even try), but he gave Dimitri the thing Dimitri desired the most from those he loved: he treated Dimitri like a regular person who needed to live his own life for himself, and in the single most critical moment to Rodrigue, forgot to use titles and formalities and openly expressed his true feelings just by using Dimitri’s name alone.

Dimitri never liked all those stuffy behaviors and titles. He just wanted to be a person. Rodrigue, his family, gave him that at Rodrigue’s very end, explicitly informing Dimitri that was how this man always thought of him just from that one moment of Rodrigue’s feelings slipping through. He was always keeping up appearances, but Dimitri was always just Dimitri to him.

Also, Rodrigue says “please tell me it wasn’t in vain”. Remember, Rodrigue’s son died in vain. Glenn didn’t actually get to protect Dimitri. Earlier, Rodrigue stated that Dimitri’s injuries left him on the verge of death. Glenn didn’t die protecting him. Glenn died in a tragedy. Nothing Glenn did that day that led to his death actually helped Dimitri survive. Dimitri survived because Gilbert found him in time.

Rodrigue knows that and doesn’t want another person dear to Dimitri to die a death that didn’t need to happen. He also doesn’t want it to be in vain because if it was, he would have died being unable to protect his son. Rodrigue “died for what he believed in”, but he died because he thoughtlessly, without hesitation, died to save his son. He believed in Dimitri, but he also believed Dimitri to be his child as much as Glenn and Felix ever were.

Even though Glenn did die in vain, he attempted to die keeping his best friend alive. He believed in his best friend, just like Lambert believed in his son to be able to saved if he ever went astray.

Before Rodrigue dies, he last thoughts are of Lambert, but also his promise to Lambert, which was about Dimtiri.

Rodrigue was always thinking of his family throughout the whole game (literally, he brings up Felix to Byleth regularly and brings up Glenn throughout the story as well), and that extended to Lambert and Dimtiri. At the very last, he literally died like he lived, and that was for his family.

#DCB Comments #Rodrigue #Rodrigue Achille Fraldarius #I just love that Rodrigue wasn't living solely as the right hand of a king #It wasn't about who was in power that he acted like he did for them #If you notice too he never really talks about Rufus as if he simply doesn't care for him either way #Rufus is still part of the royal family but he doesn't get the same treatment from Rodrigue as Lambert and Dimitri #It's not about ''they're my king and prince''. It's not about being in a slightly lesser station than them that he saved Dimitri #For him it was always about family first and his position after even if HE himself didn't realize that #If Rufus was about to die would Rodrigue die for him? Probably not. He may be a royal but if Rodrigue died for him #he couldn't be alive to watch over the people he actually cares about. Say Rufus was about to die but Lambert and Dimitri weren't even there #Here he wouldn't even have a choice to make of ''do I die for Rufus or live for them''. I think he simply just... wouldn't do it #He might /fight/ to keep him alive but I don't think he would shield Rufus with his own body. That line of thinking makes me think #that again it's not about status. It's about who he considers family and who is important to him just like any other person would react #It's bc he loves those two that he behaves the way he does and does what he does for them. I think if he didn't love the people in power #he wouldn't treat them like he does simply bc they're in power. I think he only treats him like he does bc of affection #Like I really think if Rodrigue had to choose between Faerghus or Dimitri and/or Lambert that he'd pick those two over #Faerghus itself bc tbh Rodrigue is really just like anyone else. He has priorities preferences and biases #I ofc think he'd be torn abt it but I think he'd ultimately choose people he sees as family over anything else #i love you rodrigue achille fraldarius
