#despite being a literal teenager

[chloeseyeliner]

no one:

my traitorous brain: hey, girl, remember when a few months ago you were at the university "green space" sitting with the only two people who can endure you with these two girls from class and you just started a fifteen-minute long rant (with kind of well-grounded arguments supporting it) about how edvin ryding is one of the best actors of our generation and how his portrayal of anxiety and panic attacks in young royals specifically is so to the point and realistic, and how he really cares about his characters because, for example, he really got to know wilhelm before every season to understand where he is right now and all, and how you are so glad you got to meet him through this show back in july 2021 and you are looking forward to seeing what the future holds as regards his career because he is just that admirable? oh, me too. by the way, that means you suck. have a good night, girlie!

#i've tried to reduce my rants around people irl (people i know well ofc i don't even talk to the others lol) since then lol #let's say that being a person with (mild) social anxiety yet a person who loves to rant on about films books shows politics etc #is kind of a lethal combination #lmao #anyway #i stand by it now #i'll stand by it forever #edvin is wonderful #(as all the other actors in young royals are!! but this specific rant was about him) #young royals #edvin ryding #oh and speaking of yr-related rants #i once started one (i don'r remember how long it was lol) about how simon is not a villain #like the minority of the fandom portrays him to be #because simon is traumatised by various situations in his life and he is trying so hard to take care of his family #despite being a literal teenager #and- #jesus no i am not starting again #lol #too many tags #too many feelings

i love how wakaba/saionji is normie4freak except you wouldn't ever expect which is which

#u #wakaba #saionji #the most freakish thing saionji did is plan to eat like 20 eggs he found off the ground. #which is insane but also lowkey average teenage boy behavior #meanwhile wakaba is so cute and innocent but lately she has a felt a darkness growing within her thanks for asking #such as the desire to lock her crush in her room and keep him like a pet.... which is totally normal . every girl's fantasy #like he's not even a housewife . he's her dog #touga/saionji is also normie4freak ofc. #he literally just needs to meet another normie but unfortunately the only other normie he knows is also being driven insane in the labyrint #(nanami) #and utena too i guess but she hates his ass . #sorry idk why im thinking so much abt saionji #despite my spending this entire post insisting that hes a normie #it in indeed because he is a little freak ... so.

why can't you see!! || a birthday gift for @jondrettegirls <3

#this originally started silly and then became. devastating as well #hope u enjoy. i love you so much it's insane & im especially so grateful for our shared insanity these past several months #spending time with you this summer was so incredibly surreal!! happy 3 monthaversary to seeing enjolras irl in front of our own eyes. #here's to seeing you again irl at some point 🥂 #les mis #les miserables #les mis 1972 #eponine #eponine thenardier #marius pontmercy #mp4 #not gonna tag this as c.osette despite her prominence bc that feels so rude to her. this video isn't abt her it's abt ponine being delulu #and literally just some teenage girl despite it all #oh also sorry for using ybwm (stolen version) but her voice sounds so much younger here. which is so important of course #lucy tag

since making that post about people seeing billy as a parental figure to max rather than a sibling i can’t stop thinking about how much the adultification of billy’s character impacts the way people see literally everything he does

#billy hargrove #like his interactions with steve #because people don’t think he’s a teenage boy fucking around #being a little shit because it’s funny #fighting with a guy his age because who doesn’t do that #they see an adult #which he isn’t #like sometimes teenagers are just assholes #sometimes they just fight and say nasty shit because they’re teenagers #they’re literally not adults and they’re still learning #and they have a lot of room to grow #but people never extend that to billy #which is fucked #it’s why steve’s allowed to get away with things billy isn’t #despite steve being older #idk i have thoughts

how does the raft not capsize.

#puppy rambles #yo-kai watch #yw3 #i mean komasan's not there in canon 3 so it's slightly better but not by a lot #i feel like someone should at least be falling off how is the raft also big enough to hold them all- #whisper floats so he doesn't add weight or any space really but like #it still needs to both hold the weight of three teenagers and two yo-kai #AND have the room for them all to fit #the rafting challenge in bada-bing tower is probably worse cuz it has to fit two additional yo-kai #i think komasan not being that important in the mainline games is very lame. he's pretty important in the anime so it's kinda weird #he is at least somewhat important in 3 since he's there for the yopple tour and everything in bada-bing tower #whereas in 1 he has the auto-befriend yo-kai curse (only being important in their debut chapter) #and in 2 he literally only shows up during the jibakoma quest in psychic specters #(excluding being an npc during the beginning of the jibanyan's secret quest alongside a bunch of other yo-kai) #idk what's weirder the fact they made him so important in the anime despite that or the fact they never made him important in the games #i personally go with the nyanderful days continuity that he also moves in with katie cuz that makes sense to me #i've literally never written anything where nate's the one who gets the watch in 1 so idk what i'd do there- #(funny how i've never written anything that's in the same timeline as canon-) #i want to at least write something at somepoint where nate and katie both get watches cuz i like that idea #i mean i have a dumb au idea where nate and katie independently get watches at the start of 1 at around the same time #and take an extended period of time to realize #mostly just haven't actualized that cuz 1) i already have the rewrite and 2) i don't have enough ideas #basically just have the basic concept- #these tags got derailed quick. and also make me really wanna work on the rewrite more- #i have so many ideas but i'm just not motivated to write any of them #and also most of them are for 3 and i haven't finished rewriting 2 yet 😔 #‚‚‚ anyways-

One of the things I really love about jujutsu kaisen is how raw it is. Like there's 0 sugar coating. The characters are flawed and sometimes make the wrong choices, with dire consequences. It's repeated two different times that they're sorcerers, not heroes. They aren't going to save everyone, and that's not the goal. Instead, we've seen choosing who to save, even if it's dangerous, as a recurring theme.

First with Gojo and Geto in their high school days when they decide to save Riko, despite knowing that it could have significant repercussions:

And then again when Gojo chooses to spare Geto after he defects, once again with dangerous consequences:

Megumi makes his revelation after meeting Yuuji and it's the first time we see him explain that sorcerers aren't heroes. By saving Yuuji, he acknowledges that he's putting a lot of other people at risk, but he's choosing to save him:

Yuuji begins with the idea that he wants to give people a proper/natural death, but then questions his ideals after failing to save Junpei:

He faces a harsh reality when he fails to save a single person in Shibuya. This is where we see a shift in his motivation. He's not trying to be a hero anymore. He's trying to kill curses:

In the aftermath, Megumi once again repeats that they're not heroes, they're sorcerers i.e. they can't save everyone. But he tries to encourage Yuuji by reminding him of his original ideals, and telling Yuuji to start by saving him:

But, Yuuji once again fails despite everything. Despite his conviction to end his own life in exchange for everyone else:

And in a way I think that's kind of a central theme within the story: it's not about succeeding in saving people, it's about trying and failing. It's about accepting that you can't and very much won't save everyone, and finding the courage to keep going because you're not a hero, you're a jujutsu sorcerer.

#posts #jjk #jujusu kaisen #jjk meta #jjk analysis #this took a long time to write because there's honestly so much else i could talk about #and these also aren't the only instances of this theme there's gojo saving yuuta and yuuta saving yuuji #but yuuji's character development has just been so fascinating and heartbreaking to watch #and honestly jjk is a tragedy at its core i think #actions have consequences no matter your intentions or who you are #these are literal teenagers risking their lives and the jujutsu world is cruel and unyielding #you will not be spared just because it would be the right thing to happen #but i think it really sets the tone for the jujutsu world and jjk as a story #this is not a fairytale #there are no heroes #there's just jujutsu sorcerers. humans. doing their best despite being flawed and sometimes making the wrong choices #and then having to live with those consequences #jjk leaks #jjk 261 #mine

fun fact! my birthday is actually july 4th, contradictory to that one fundraiser post i made last year about my computer saying july 10th

i celebrate it on july 10th because where i live, most people have ran out of fireworks by then

#my art #if anyone is wanting to send me birthday wishes please hold off until the 10th! #actually i mostly drew this because i thought it was funny #also in regards to that post; my computer somehow is still alive. i have no clue how. it is STILL very clearly losing life though #pats this computer. this old man is still truckin despite being like.. 6 years old and using it literally all day every day #not sure how much longer he's gonna last #anyways woohoo im no longer a teenager. what hte FUCK.

ok so one of my co workers and i, we're both guys in our early 20s. we have this awful habit of making "that's what she/etc. said" jokes. but not too often, it has to be unpredictable, like, if one of us is baiting the other to say it it's dishonorable to say it. anyways this obviously sometimes leads to one of us saying "oh? do you hear that a lot?" and one of our that's what she saids included the word "cutie patootie" and my co worker was like "you probably actually hear that a lot." (he's already said i'm cute) and i was going to disagree with them but he's right so i was like "well, hm, i guess?" and that started me getting called a cutie patootie at work on the regular. i love doing a dramatic "hmph" and a lot of ppl enjoy trying to mildly annoy me into doing it but that's besides the point - the point being that now my hmph gets someone to call me a cutie patootie. it's such a fucking silly term and also kind of gross to say imo but i am thriving with the amount i'm getting complimented on the regular. idk what my point is but i'm sure i had one

#this is so dumb but this is actually gender affirming bc this is being one of the boys #id say my co worker and i are bros #listen to me. it's never too late to get the teenage boyhood you never had. #i dont want to sound like im reinforcing some gender stereotypes here or something but sometimes it's nice to hang out with ppl of ur gende #like i do have other guy friends. shoutout to them. but they all live in different cities than i do 😔 #i cant crack open a cold one and get my ass handed to me in need for speed underground on a friday after work with any of u on a regular #a regular basis :( #idk im sleepy but in a good mood despite the 1000kg of stress im under but its literally fine #leevi talks

[gardenianoire]

anyways I was so happy to get my blood work back and everything being negative and my doctor telling me my weight loss was mostly due to truvada and I had almost a full 24 hours of thinking I avoided my family's curse of just up and fucking dying in your 30s with little to no warning and my pap results came back and it's beginning to look a lot like cervical cancer

#I mean at least when if I die now it'll literally be partially my mother's fault for not letting me get hpv vaccine when I was a teenager #despite the fact the doctor begged her and explained to her this was a possibility #so I'll definitely put in my will #I don't even have anything of value to leave people #she's just likely not to remember that and if I told her that in person she'd deny it #so argue with ashes about it #which I'd like spread in the mississippi river when I die #now would be a great time to tell her if I tell her at all since her sister just died #I'm not going to undergo any treatment because I couldn't afford it anyways #and I don't know anyone that had cancer and lived #I have months left to live probably let's spend those months pushing a gfm and being violently ill and bald #ramblings of a nonsense human #not to quote hamilton but I've imagined death so much it's a memory #but I could never quite bring myself to end it all #but now my body's picking up the slack #joining the majority

i know aging isn't the end of the world and 24 isn't that old and life isn't a race etc etc etc. however,

#i think a big reason i feel so bad abt being this age is ppl told me this is when things start to get better #and i still feel the same way i did as a teenager so. well. is it really 😐 #(being on t probably isn't helping but it's been over 3 years already so... not an excuse i think) #but I'm also physically aging like the reason i barely upload selfies anymore is i see myself getting uglier every day #despite fighting for my life to at least take care of my face and hair...... can't fight the passage of time 😔 #+ ofc. my (younger) friends being way more sorted out than i am on every level #again ik life isn't a race but. it can't help but hurt to know I'm still behind literally everyone i know #and my excuses for that aren't even good. bc other disabled ppl my age are also more sorted out than i am #other depressed ppl other borderlines other autistics etc etc. hell these are also my irl friends 😭 #and it's dumb. bc feeling like i wasted my life isn't really pushing me to change that now. just makes me want to die even more #(bc i mean what's the point. i will never catch up. I'm still at the starting line AND i move so slow it doesn't even count) #(i don't have a single milestone ppl my age have not even finishing high school which is like. the bare minimum) #(and it sucks bc i also know i have potential i KNOW i can do shit in theory i know I'm smart and got skills. but i can't put it to use) #(and now this is turning into less of a thing abt age and just generally me talking abt how i wasted the last 24 years) #this was more of a stressed rant abt how I'm turning ugly and feeling super old but well. it all boils down to self loathing at the end 👍 #vent #negative // #ask to tag #sorry for being so depressing all day oof ik i already said it before but it's been a rough couple of months #(nothing happened my brain just needs to get flushed down the toilet ^_^) #edit: i think. part of my panic about aging. is bc as a kid i was used to being the youngest everywhere #i was the youngest in my class bc i started school a year early. i was the youngest in acting school bc they don't normally accept teenagers #and in addition to that as an adult but before starting t i was always told that i LOOK young too #but now ik i look like I'm in my 20s. and it's killing me that i aged this much in so little #i wonder if shaving my beard will help but i don't wanna get misgendered 😐😐😐 and rn it's the only thing guarding me from that

How did “blood is thicker than ooze”Donnie be so like mentally unwell to such a realistic point I am terrified

#rottmnt #tmnt #blood is thicker than ooze #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #fanfic #ao3fic #that man went through such oddly realistic trauma despite his abuser literally being a goat

[emperorcartagia]

it makes sense that refa had a family with kids and a wife given his status, but making senna a character and having her role be what it is really makes their story tragic as fuck. his family so easily could have never been heard from again after his death, but londo taking senna in out of guilt is so fucking. sad. lol

#and im not gonna be out here woobifying refa of all fucking characters #but i do think he was a good family man. good centauri with a happy home life #and i do think he loved senna #and he died when she was like 15 or something like that so he spent quite some time watching her grow up #she didnt know what he was up to #lords had to do what they had to do #and it makes sense for refa to come home and be good to his family after being shitty to everyone else #hes self serving and the people he decides are worth caring about are going to get His Special Attention #and that includes his little girl #a whole ass teenage girl orphaned is so heart wrenching. a family that loved her. #a nurturing family life is already so rare on centauri prime #like please babylon 5 there was abolutely zero reason to make refa ??? sad ?????????? like dont make me feel upset over him #he doesnt deserve it #but im such a sucker for a weird fucking horrible asshole who has a soft spot for his daughter.. #proud of her despite the centauri clearly favoring male children #takes her out in public and raised her to be the strong woman she actually did turn out to be #all for him to die brutally which im not saying he didnt deserve bc he did #but londo rly did do all that bc he thought he killed adira lmfao. no wonder why he took senna in #literally nobody is puttjng this much thought into refa but me. i need to get help

variety in my canon-divergence aus:

Percy is successfully pulled into Tartarus during his quest to the Underworld in TLT (kronos!Percy)

Sally drives everyone home in her car after the beginning of TTC instead of Thalia driving the sun (8 hour roadtrip)

#pjo #au #aus #do not be fooled theyre both extremely silly #13 y/o Percy possessed by a Titan is still TLT Percy so he has Absolutely Zero Idea What's Going On and just wants his mom #and he ends up with a little squad of Titan Army kids who arent like security or anything they're just basically babysitting him #cause this kid could easily destroy half the continent but he doesnt even know who all the olympians are yet and he'd like a debrief #and also he spends half his time laying face-down in the pool on the deck of the Princess Andromeda #everyone's terrified of him but he's just having A Time #then the other is just. 8 hour roadtrip of hell #poor Sally's on no sleep and she's stuck in a car with like 8 upset bickering teenagers #its literally just the TTC quest crew + Nico and Sally. except jammed into a car for eight hours. #the rest of the Hunters probably just went about their business as per usual but Zoe and Bianca went with everybody else #Bianca's fighting with Nico. Nico's annoying Percy. Percy's fighting with Thalia. Thalia's fighting with Zoe. #Grover Percy and Thalia are all crying over Annabeth. It's 4am and Sally is running on no sleep stuck in traffic in the winter #and they have 4 big 3 kids in the car so they really have to book it back to long island #and meanwhile despite all the bickering everyone is in unanimous agreement to NOT PISS OFF SALLY #theyre all at each other's throats but Sally is Lovely and is being nice enough to drive them home #so theyre all trying to strangle each other in the Least-Disruptive-To-Sally way possible #feel free to ask me more about these aus cause i love them dearly
