#I think maybe the fact that The Brothers Karamazov is almost open-ended allows me to feel more things about it#and enjoy projecting some of my own preferred ends on it?#meanwhile C&P is—impactful in its own way but stamped more clearly and therefore I have to grapple with what it's saying?#I'm sitting here thinking about everything I've heard said in favor of raskolnikov and his redemption and...#yes... but I have a hitch or two#first of all: I was all 'actually startling that some people apparently find him relatable' (??!!) but then#I was forced to admit that I was hoping Dunya would blow Svidrigailov's brains out so...touché Dostoevsky (I see what you did there)#which brings me to raskolnikov's 'sincere repentance' which is obviously what I was hoping for#and yet... according to the text... I'm left wondering what exactly he was repenting OF#he acknowledges that he's ruined his life ('for nothing') and regrets causing his family distress... yes good#but what about the... you know... KILLING TWO PEOPLE? defenseless older women at that??#he repeatedly dismisses that on account of them not being very nice or important people#~problematique~#at least in the epilogue we're left with the potential for full repentance and redemption but it's still a little works-righteousnessy#what with all the talk of suffering and some future Great Deed that would somehow compensate#and I'm not sure what I make of Sonya yet#which is maybe funny considering I'm writing my own parallel redemption arc romance right now 😅#maybe this will help me clarify a few points in my own WIP#anyway... I've now read 2 dostoevsky novels so maybe I can begin to understand what I like and don't like about him#and meanwhile I have razumikhin THE DARLING as my new blorbo 💖

YOURE ALSO SHIPPING WITH AN ANGEL NAMED GABRIEL!?? TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT!!!! 🩷🩷🩷
GOD GOD YES!! Also fun fact I lowkey knew you specifically would see those tags and got excited to see if you would say anything hfjgrgj
Here's the guy of the hour, the week, the YEAR
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(The art with the oranges is my own lmao)
I got the game he's from as a gift for Christmas from a friend who really likes it (and I was like yeah!! I wanna play the game too!!) so everything I'm saying has a grand total of a month and a half behind it, and I feel like the short time duration is important to highlight the insanity here kdjffk
ALRIGHT SO spoilers for the entirety of ultra.kill as a game bc he's integral to the overall plot, but some background before Gabby, the game is centered around a robot (controlled by the player) descending down through 9 layers of hell a la dante's inferno style, bc this particular machine is blood powered and mankind has been completely wiped out (partially by war, partially by something that hasn't been made 100% clear yet), so you're just going around slaughtering everything in sight, with the chunkiest graphics known to man along the way.
Gabe's role here is to step in and try to stop you bc you're basically a walking abomination to all that is holy, Gabe is the angel that sends people to hell and is also the one chosen to carry out the will of god so he's also done a lot of killing to do that; he loses to the machine, gets so mad he curses at you (calls you an insignificant fuck) and then leaves, but we see a little behind the scenes, where we learn he's never lost a fight like this and the rest of the angels call it heresy; they sever his connection with divinity and tell him he has 24 hours to fix everything or he'll die. So naturally, next fight he's pissed as hell, and starts out MAD, yelling and threatening, but as it goes on, he starts having fun and laughing and taunting, and when he loses again, he says he feels relieved and needs time to think. He starts introspecting and starts questioning everything he's been told after he realizes he wasn't feeling hatred, but a sort of passion in the challenge of the fights. He starts asking himself if the angels he followed were actually in the right, and ends up killing them all, accepting that he's going to die but that he'll die not only having been freed from the constraints placed on him, but also having freed heaven itself from the angels that basically held it hostage with their power.
He's also as close to trans as you can get without explicitly calling him such! The devs discussed angels and pronouns in a recent stream and said they wanted angels to have no pronouns if possible, but then realized that they needed to gender Gabe when another character wrote a diary entry about him, so they settled on pronouns as a mark of angel status, which means that he didn't originally use he/him, but picked it up later and continued to use it no matter what; the other angels called him "it" after the took his divinity, but the overall narration still uses masculine pronouns for him, so it comes with the implication that he's still exactly who he knows he is, no matter what is said about him, which. as a trans man. good lord fhsjg the trauma of his arc hits very close to home for me and that was part of what propelled him into the spot he has on this blog.
The other thing that got him here was. and there really isn't any other way to say it. This man turned everyone into rabid animals, I have never seen so many people look at a character and desire him so violently, everyone wants to do unspeakable things to this man and it is so funny hdsjgks his VA will also voice pretty much anything in-character as well, so there's a lot of unhinged bullshit that makes for an absolutely incredible image of this man. He's a little uptight at first and throws a fit when things don't go his way, he seems like the exact kind of man that would be kind of silly, this man would struggle to peel an orange, throw it at a wall, and then later hang his head in his hands about it. This man would be able to speak multiple languages but would somehow mispronounce every single word as he goes. He's an astounding character and he's also kind of pathetic and something about all these factors just. lobotomized me. There is a gay little angel where part of my brain should be and I've just accepted it. I had a gay dream about him one single week after I saw him in game, the grip he has on me is UNREAL and I've fully accepted it.
He gives the very fun aspect of "is not human and has no idea what humans need or how they act", which makes him utterly hilarious to me, I wanna see this man try to preheat the oven, he is trying so hard to cook something for me and he is burning it so badly, he does NOT know what a car is and is frankly too wary of it to even consider getting in it. People also arrived at the consensus that he's probably very tall, it's been confirmed that there are no canon heights in the game, but everyone has agreed that Gabby is at least 7 feet tall and it is the funniest thing on earth to me. Very large and somewhat confused angel who means the best trying very hard in his new environment. Oh my god wait when the developers had that stream I mentioned they also talked about Gabe for a bit in regards to his personality bc in-game he saved someone from being swept away in the river styx (now an ocean after an influx of souls), and they were so grateful they added a fully functional hologram of him onto their ship, saying the lines he'd said when he'd saved them, and the devs said that they'd wanted that to be a glimpse into what Gabriel is like when he's not immediately targeting you as an enemy or fighting, and the specific words they used were "he's kind and loving" and that short-circuited my brain immediately upon impact.
He is The Guy Ever, he's basically trans and 70% of the people who drew him gave him top surgery scars even before the devs talked about gender, he's got religious trauma and guilt, he's too tall and has probably never read a book outside of the bible, he giggles and whimpers, he is considered to be one of if not the most wifeable character in the entire game, he has an official body pillow, I want to put him in pretty little outfits, I want to hold his hand and take him to the beach, I want to pin him against a wall, he is. Such A Guy,, thank you so much for asking me about him he makes me feel so insane hsgjsdl

"He gets that from you."
“He gets that from you,” Adam muttered, crossing his arms as he leaned toward Belle.
She smirked. “What, you never tried to perform any crazy experiments when you were his age?”
“Absolutely not! I—,”
“Mama! I think it’s set!” their teenaged son called from the balcony above them.
“Alright!” Belle called back. Both her and Adam stepped several paces away from the ground below the balcony.
Maurice pulled goggles down over his eyes, which weren’t really necessary for this experiment, but he felt a lot cooler wearing them. “Ready?” He called to his parents, holding up a gloved thumb.
“Ready!” Belle answered, raising her own thumb in the air with an excited smile. She then looked at her husband and elbowed his arm.
Adam sighed and held up his thumb as well.
Maurice grinned and nodded. He then lifted up the melon he had snatched from the kitchen, holding it steady on the balustrade while he set an identical melon beside it, this one strapped to a big hand-made parachute.
“Mama! Start timing on my count!” When she held up her thumb again, he took a deep breath. “3… 2… 1… Physics!!”
He pushed both melons off the balcony. The first of them fell fast and smashed into bits. The second had been successfully caught by the parachute, floating gently to the ground.
Maurice was jumping up and down, “Yes!!!”
Belle laughed, tugging on her husband’s arm while watching her watch. “It worked!”
Adam had a smirk on his face, thoroughly impressed but not nearly as expressive as his wife and son.
The melon eventually landed on the ground, safe and now completely covered by its parachute.
“Time!” Belle called, pulling out the parchment and writing down the numbers.
When Adam looked up again, Maurice was gone from the balcony. Suddenly he appeared out of a side door and was digging around the parachute to uncover his completely unharmed melon. His face was ecstatic, grinning wide as he carried it over to them, his goggles now up in his unruly blond curls.
“She’s alright!” he laughed. “Did you get the times?”
“I got everything. You did it, Reecy!!” Belle hugged her son, kissing his cheek.
“Finally!” he agreed. He then tossed the melon to his father, who barely caught it in time. “What do you think, Papa?”
“Completely unscathed,” Adam commented, observing the melon. He looked up at him, smiling brightly. “I’m proud of you, son.”
Maurice grinned, all teeth and freckles and the same blue eyes his father had. He then looked back at the smashed melon. He turned and saluted it.
“That poor bastard. A fallen soldier.”
That got a laugh from both his parents.

2023.02.05. Chinese Lantern Festival 
#i like that my husband bought a tiny lantern project 4 my son just 2 mark the date (as a kid i didn’t even kno we had a lantern festival)#i also took my ma 2 watch the wandering earth 2. my dad used w take us 2 watch hollywood movies when i was a kid. ofc this stopped#after we came 2 china n watching shows on our tablets became a thing. but i suppose i could / should continue this tradition w my ma 💖#i was like did u get the plot? she was like p much! — but there’s some things like y was there no water inside the submerged blg in beijing#so i explained 2 her (both my parents didn’t even graduate fr elementary school) by putting a downturned cup in a bowl n filling it w water#i feel like rly proud of myself that i can do that 4 her. my ma is trying so hard 2 connect w me the mor i speak abt my childhood the mor#she feels guilty n wants 2 make it up 2 me. a friend said once 2 me that ‘ur mother loves u v openly. other mothers may lov their children#but they r subtle abt it. ur mother’s lov n care 4 u saturates everything she says n does’ that certainly got my attn. cos i kno she does#but b4 i was just like ‘ma stop u’re going overboard / this isn’t necessary’ but after i was told that i thought okay... mayb i should try#but i didn’t want a forced connection. didn’t kno how. just i wanted 2 rewatch the movie n my ma was the only 1 i could ask 😂#mayb we’ll just keep doing this. idk y i didn’t think of this b4... i feel like a switch flipped on in my brain after the past few mos#like i want 2 ‘enrich the enclosures’ of ppl around me in real life. open up n giv others my time n attn. best explanation i can giv 💖#no filter#slice-of-life in china#china#photography#wandering earth#film

I'm back from raiding my pantry. Here's some more headcanons and a friendly nudge to go to bed lol
1. I think Shadow would make an excellent ventriloquist. Something about him makes me think "now that guy can throw his voice."
2. Amy is colorblind. I think that's the only way she could realistically mistake Shadow for Sonic in broad daylight.
3. Before he was turned into a weapon, Shadow had aspirations of being a house husband, with a white picket fence and two young kids.
4. Silver tried really really hard to make a restaurant last long enough to make it to his future because the food was so good. Now he can only enjoy it when he visits the past.
5. Eggman leaves a gift on Shadow's doorstep every year for his birthday. It's both very sweet and annoying, because it's mostly Eggman-themed, like a jacket with his logo on it, or a card with money asking him to please join his empire so they can rule together, or a can opener shaped like his moustache.
6. Shadow and Big are best friends and they go fishing regularly
7. Sonic is really good at using the Five Finger Discount cause he grew up impoverished. He tries not to do it anymore but sometimes his stomach will growl and his first instinct is always to sneak some food.
8. Shadow will sometimes ask to spar with others in an effort to teach them different combat methods and make them less predictable in a fight. He doesn't tell them that he's doing it because that would force him to admit to thinking about/having concern for people that aren't omega and rouge, so to the others it really just feels like "Shadow showed up and made me fight him for half an hour."
yes,,,,yeS,,,,YESSS!!!!!!! I LOVE ALL THESE AND OKAY ITS HONESTLY SO WEAR HOW LIKE ALMOST SAME HAT FOR MOST OF THESE EXCEPT URS IS BETTER WORDERED AND THOUGHT OUT 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

You're not alone, I love them all too!! I know my Mc is in a bad relationship with Belphie for a long time but cmon, I love the guy. Wanna cuddle with him so bad
Any hate towards any character just makes me feel bad, I don't understand why people would go out of their way to talk about how much they dislike a fictional character and tag it with that character, knowing full well people will come across it if they browse through the tag. Instant block cuz that's dick behavior imo
Anyway-
Just wanted to say that I love them all too, ok bye-
Same boat kinda! Scarlett is incredibly distant/upset with him after the ordeal and snaps at him etc. but ends up in a relationship anyway. Mainly because she could tell it was hurting Beel to see them fight all the time and she could never let him be sad, so she puts her pride aside to try and work things out with Belphie. ANYWAY different story for a different time
I understand a certain character may not be your cup of tea but to blatantly talk shit about them and then tag it as that character in every possible way knowing very well that fans of that character or people who find comfort in that character will see it???? Dick move and uncalled for.
The boys have been through enough, the trauma is never ending, they just deserve love at this point.
