#contemplating about life

this PSA is brought to u, by first year farmer ・゚ *✧

#fsds just kidding i love how welcoming robin was too; even offering table with her family during the stardew valley eve #but no red carpet can be more welcoming than local grandma who smells like flowers and cookies and take u as her grandchild from day 1 #i thought linus was sketchy at first but then i almost cry because he is the only one drag me back home when i am dying in mine alone #with no one knowing or care where am i #sdv #stardew valley #sdv evelyn #sdv farmer #stardew evelyn #stardew farmer #stardew valley evelyn #stardew valley farmer #fanart #surely it was sketchy at first the way ur money and things are gone #but after knowing linus u get to trust him that he was sincere helping u #it really was like this homeless man cares for me more than anyone in this village #*tho reasonable bcs he's the only one actively foraging for things to live & coincidentally u are one of the thing he found #but i can imagine by the way i was playing; first few months arriving at the valley farmer just keep spending time sitting beside linus #contemplating about life #like second homeless person in the valley #if there's a popularity poll for stardew villagers; evelyn should be top number 1 no discussion #for someone who started stardew valley without any interest of the bachelor/rettes this is how i feel

I think people sometimes misunderstand why we come up with such elaborate justifications for shipping two characters together. I don't justify my ships because I feel that I need to; I justify my ships because squinting at the published canon with furrowed brow and asking myself "okay, how exactly would this work?" is my idea of a good time.

#life #fandom #fanfic #shipping #canon #contemplative beard-stroking may also prove constructive should one happen to be equipped to do so #it's not about being right #it's about the fact that you can't prove me wrong

the way i see it, colin has three options for handling the repercussions of kissing michael on the pitch in front of everyone:

gatekeep: by some miracle no one caught the kiss on camera so colin's sexuality is kept between him and any fans who happened to be on the pitch near him. the safest option.

girlboss: keeley gets the pr challenge of a lifetime handling the story of the first active premier league player to come out as gay. rebecca is tall and powerful and intimidating in the press room making it clear that richmond stands behind colin one thousand percent. the most realistic option.

gaslight: straight-up blatantly lying. not because he's ashamed or because he thinks he can actually convince anyone that the kiss didn't happen, but just because he refuses to let it be a big deal. acts like he has no idea what anyone is talking about if asked anything related to his sexuality. he doesn't claim to be straight, mind you, he just pretends to be extremely confused about why they're asking because he never kissed anyone in the middle of a football pitch at the end of an internationally-televised game? when presented with photo and video proof of the kiss he says that was some other richmond player named hughes who wears a number 12 jersey. you don't know him, he goes to another school. the funniest option.

#colin literally standing in front of michaels house unloading a moving truck: i have no idea who that man who kissed that richmond player is #weird that he looks exactly like the guy standing in the doorway behind me! oh well life is full of mysteries #the tabloid reporter who ambushed colin goes home that night and contemplates a change of career #ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #the more i think about it the less bothered i am by them not addressing the repercussions in the episode #because i love open endings and hate flash-forward endings that give you all the answers (part of why i hated the montage) #and i'm having so much fun imagining all the ways the aftermath of The Kiss could have played out #over 1k

I'm so normal about the fact that the crew chose to use the unicorn hoof of all things for Izzy's new leg, its unbelievably moving. The unicorn was the figurehead of the ship, and back then figureheads embodied the spirit of the vessel, offering the crew protection from harsh seas and safeguarding their homeward journeys. Now i don't think i need to really explain just how beautiful this is, but, I'm also incapable of shutting up about Israel Hands, so. Izzy seems to assume everyone still hates him, and is drinking his many sorrows away, alone in his room, not knowing that the crew fully recognizes that Izzy saved them from Blackbeard, that he chose to protect them. The note said that Izzy is the ships "new unicorn" i.e. the new figurehead, this means that he also embodies the spirit of the vessel, and that they have faith in his continued ability to protect them, as is the job of the figurehead. Even the fact the hoof was painted gold seems intentional, gold in the bible represents love and protection, as if they are saying thank you for protecting us, now let us paint you in our protection as well Izzy. When they knocked on his door to give him his present, Izzy derogatorily calls himself a cripple, showing that he's feeling particularly clumsy and weak after his fall in front of everyone, and assumes this must be how everyone sees him now as well. But, unicorns actually represent power and grace, they've not only enabled Izzy to feel sturdy again physically with a new leg, they've also taken a bit of the weight off his shoulders emotionally by proving to him that he's not alone. Similar to his new leg, they're willing to bear some of the burden for him. And that's the thing, Izzy always tries to do things on his own, he gets drunk alone, he cries alone, his version of self-healing involves coming up with stories about sharks biting his leg off, and he even does that alone too. Yet they're giving him a sign that no matter how much he tries to self isolate, he's actually shit out of luck because they're there for him. What I appreciate about this show of support is the fact that they didn't force Izzy to accept the gift face to face, rather, they left it outside his room, proving that they know him quite well, and didn't want to push him too far too fast. Just like their extending of friendship, they are letting Izzy come to them when he's ready. But what i love most of all is that it actually works, this is what finally snaps him out of his spiral of depression, and gets him sword training again, improving himself rather than giving up, and engaging with the crew and helping them. This one show of solidarity, gratitude, and compassion, opens his eyes to the fact that he's a part of their messed up family, he belongs to something, and this fact alters Izzy forever.

#izzy said that piracy is about belonging to something and i think hes been contemplating his life as a pirate for a while. #not feeling he belonged anywhere esp because of how much ed has changed and the uncertainty of who he is and what his purpose is #so in one fell swoop they have given him clarity. direction and a fresh start i cannot wait to watch him fully blossom i love him sm #oh i also just like the simple explanation that hes a unicorn cuz hes special and one of a kind hehe #israel hands #izzy hands #ofmd #s2e4 #ofmd season 2 #ofmd spoilers #ofmd s2 spoilers #unicorn #meta #ofmd season 2 spoilers

do you ever think about how in the literal very first scene with Rebecca, we learn that Unit Bravo had no idea she even had a kid

she chose UB and The Agency over the detective so consistently, so frequently, that her team didn't even consider that she had some kind of life outside of them, with someone waiting for her at home

#twc #Rebecca I am obsessed with your brain #like N and F especially are so moved by the ideas of family and normalcy and having a home to return to #i just want UB to really sit with the idea of what the detective missed bc their mom chose to be their handler #twc rebecca #the wayhaven chronicles #wayhaven #Rebecca's grief and fear and sense of duty melding into one giant nightmare creature of work-life imbalance #I've been contemplating what a rebecca & mc relationship would look like if rook hadn't died #much to consider #the rebecca lore is making me insane the more i think about it #like if anyone was going to have any inkling of Rebecca's personal life it'd be UB and theyre like 'child?? dead husband??' #she trusted agency sitters enough to watch the detective but never let even hinted her own team that she had a kid !!! #idk im rambling now

The thinker of thoughts is merely

Another thought.

The one who knows this is

No longer in his own way.

wait something is just now clicking. if my delayed sleep disorder makes me naturally wake up around 11:30 (being generous here) and i am scheduled to work at 8:30, and the average US adult wakes up at 7:30, that is the equivalent of asking a normal-sleeping adult to come in at 4:30am. which is BATSHIT! no fucking wonder i feel like garbage !!!

yaoi is easier because (to me) its just two silly ugly boys doing fuck all but yuri makes me sick in the head because i start craving the warmth of a woman for real and im not in the headspace to deal with that

#When I do dabihawks stuff it feels like I’m playing with my dolls when I think about yuri I start contemplating my own life

Elrond trying to woo Gil-galad but Elrond was raised with just about every culture *but* Falathrim Sindar, so Elrond is rotating through Northern Sindar, Taur-im-Duinath Nandor, Valinorian Noldor, Belegost Dwarven, and various Edain customs trying to find courtship customs close enough to Gil-galad's that he'll recognize them.

Gil-galad is…not entirely sure what his herald is up to.

#elrond #gil galad #gilrond #everyone else in lindon has noticed and is giggling about it #gil galad at least once: gosh that's almost a declaration of love #gil galad: should i let elrond know so that he doesn't send the wrong message to someone? #elrond contemplates trying bird courting behaviors in case that works any better #unfortunately getting the crown makes you incapable of making good decisions in your personal/romantic life #as evidenced by finwe and thingol #so gil galad is just. very clueless re: elrond's feelings towards him

Imagine spending a century trying to put an end to the suffering of a singular (powerful and connected to the entirety of the surrounding land tbf) fae child to rid the land of a curse, succeeding, and then being dragged to a place where literally hundreds of children are suffering and starving and dying and there's not even a pinpoint reason for it, people are just letting it happen, and then when you express that maybe that's actually kinda fucked up, being told: "Idk I think you're overreacting"

#this is about halsin in baldur's gate #BG3 Musing #if i were halsin maybe i too would seriously contemplate tearing down the establishment board by board #i'm sorry that slight change to that line saying that halsin's idea of harshly judging baldur's gate being TYRANNICAL like bro #tyrannical to whom? bootlickers and politicians that are rewarded by a corrupt system? #it's almost funny with how obtuse it is but also???? #that's why orin's thing is such a gut punch - halsin's primary concern is the life that isn't even being given a chance to thrive #imagine being the *cause* of their suffering - of their deaths #bravo orin good research skills #elves value children! they are precious and far between! of course he thinks that's fucked up!! #and he would be *right* #halsin should respond to a player saying that with a 'i pray to silvanus you never procreate' #also anyone bring up the goblin kids on this post it's on sight

[willowser]

willow i am wondering and pondering on your thoughts on bakugou saying i love you🤔 I’m not sure if you’ve written anything on it (i would read it immediately fyi so do tell). i think i hc my bkg similarly to yours especially your younger bkg even though it’s so sad and tragic to think of him during his late teens-early 20s :( do you envision him ever being in love at that time also?? i doubt 22 year old bkg could pull himself together 🥺😔 but he’s been through a lot so loving someone is last on his mind but i like to think that at maybe 24-27 he’d be soooo okay with saying i love you first🥺 like you said he’s such a random romantic he barely even registers that he is🥺😭 sorry for rambling will kissing and smooching u first!!

oh man, early 20s bakugou 🥺 my poor sweet 🥺 tbh i really don't see him being in love at that time 🥺 i think even if he found you at that period in his life and you were everything he could ever dream of—i really think he just doesn't have the emotional capacity to touch that with a ten foot pole like. he can't give the time or the vulnerability or the sensibility. i think bakugou finding love for the first time is a real discovery process for him, and i think early 20s bakugou is so incredibly and whole-heartedly devoted to heroism, like there's just no room for anything else. maybe—maybe, maybe, maybe—he would try it out for a hot second, and it wouldn't go the way it should and he knows it and at that point he would just call it quits to be safe.

i think by the time he hits around 25 though he's on the up and up !! a little more familiar with navigating everything that's happened to him, able to become more aware of his feelings and the things he wants and what he's able to give to those things. i think this is the point in his life when he really shows his feelings through his actions 😌 like he's really going all out to show you how he feels, because i think he still might feel a little awkward voicing those things—unless it's in those random moments where he's not thinking about it too hard LOL

when i picture him saying it for the first time, i imagine you're in bed together, cooling off, catching your breath. you roll over to rest your head on his arm, even though he's sweating LOL, and he turns his head enough to press his mouth to your hair, even though you're sweaty LOL, and he just kind of quietly mumbles it after a long moment.

just a very simple and quiet i love you 🥺 doesn't want to make a big deal out of it 🥺 but when you say it back, he's trying very hard not to smile aifnruajaka he's so cute i'm biting him

#ty for coming to chat with me about this ehehehe #i do love talking about early 20s bkg even if it is sad #i really contemplated writing a fic where we're in love with him during that period of his life #and he has to just be like. no. i cant do this. #and it would be so sad 🥺🥺🥺 and then you would just kind of distantly orbit each other's lives 🥺 #he'd reject you but he'd still think about you all the time 🥺 #i'm smooching you back dear !!!! 🩷🩷 #✿ ask willow

oh, this reference for Naruto's apartment might be useful to some people.

it's a popular fic trope to have naruto living in abject poverty with the shittiest apartment possible, but what we're actually shown is decently nice. (or it would be nice for a young adult living alone-- i'm not defending leaving a literal child to live alone as a good idea lmao)

in the first databook, we see that naruto has a studio-style apartment with a combined kitchen/dining/living/bedroom area and a separate toilet and bathroom with a full bath. based on my studies of youtube apartment tours, this is a pretty typical japanese apartment and perfectly serviceable for someone living alone. however, INTERESTINGLY, naruto has an additional room which is for ninja training/studies. unclear if it's meant to be a bedroom or storage area he just decided was for ninja stuff, or if the apartment was designed with that purpose in mind. he's also shown to have a very nice view of Konoha.

for the anime, naruto's apartment was upgraded slightly. the training room is absent, but he now has separate rooms for kitchen/dining and his bedroom. it looks like he even has a little tv and a small balcony. he keeps his beautiful view of the village.

in neither case has kishimoto/the animation team gone out of their way to animate excessive clutter or anything particularly wrong with naruto's living space (as in, there's no inclusion of cracked paint or obviously broken appliances). we do have a scene dedicated to naruto's milk being spoiled and kakashi suggesting he eat more vegetables, but these details reflect more on naruto's personality/decision making* than a problem like "he doesn't have money for food."

*again, this is why we don't let children live alone!! but it's not evidence for a lot of common tropes like "naruto would run out of money for food" or "naruto lived in horrific conditions"

#naruto references #i've been rotating the naruto switcharoo fic #so i've been contemplating naruto's canon living situation a lot and how to write it without flanderizing hiruzen #i think hiruzen did actually care about naruto #and i think it would have been very easy for him to justify to himself that naruto had a nice but lonely life #if he was providing a nice apartment etc
