#do you think he feels guilty?

[nightlocked-in]

“peeta is bisexual” you guys are losing the vision. peeta isn’t even straight. katniss INVENTED sexuality for him. whatever katniss identifies as, he’s like “yeah, i’ll take that one” no questions asked

#katnissexual #i’m joking btw #and i agree with yall #he says you’ve ruined all other women for me #yeah twink we know #the hunger games #katniss everdeen #thg #nightlocked-in #everlark #peeta mellark #hunger games headcanon #hunger games incorrect quotes #thg incorrect quotes #bisexual peeta #peeta what’s your sexuality? #idk #what do u mean u don’t know #i’ve never thought about it #well i mean… do you like guys? do u like girls? #he thinks for a second…. girl #just one #katniss he says #i’m convinced in modern au’s when he’s dating someone else he just pictures katniss when fucking and then feels horribly guilty for it later #peeta why don’t you look at me during sex? #huh? oh glimmer uh… i just get distracted by how uh… good it feels. yeah that haha #katniss was his first love in every thing and not only was she his first love she was his ONLY love #so he’s never even considered being attracted to girls besides her #so when he tries to date he finds girls that are objectively attractive but on a scale of 1 to katniss they are still 1’s to him #and that never stops being a problem

some thoughts about astarion because i'm tired of the internet reducing him to one thing

when bg3 came out in early access, astarion was always seen as the extremely flirty, confident guy who enjoyed sex (or so we thought) and spoke about it like it was his favourite thing. he was also kinda marketed as the “sexy vampire”, so you can understand why many people saw him that way based on the little amount of content we had. even while playing act 1 and act 2, many players still might think of him like that because he does have a very charismatic personality and he asks to sleep with you very early on, so it just automatically makes you think he’s genuinely happy doing that and being totally serious.

BUT!!!!!!! we end up finding out later on that’s NOT the case and it was all part of a plan to seduce us in order for him to gain protection. he opens up about his past and his trauma and how he was forced to use his body to lure people back to cazador. he struggles with intimacy and relationships in general because of this. that’s why i really hope that people stop reducing him to “hot sexy vampire that loves flirting and having sex with everyone” when that is not who he is, he’s literally traumatised because of sex due to being forced into it and he’s slowly trying to heal. he’s also so much more than just “the hot vampire”, ya know? if you actually put in the effort to get to know him, you will see who he truly is underneath and he has many loveable traits to appreciate.

you may not see the “soft” side of him very often because he hides it, but it’s there!! one thing i noticed that really stood out to me was that when i gave food to an orphan in act 3 and he approved. back when you first met him, he probably would’ve done the opposite or had no reaction at all. i also saw a clip of someone trying to romance karlach and astarion and he literally told tav to choose karlach over him because he can see that karlach loves her. he said normally an arrangement would work for him but after everything karlach has been through, he doesn’t want to get in the way or see her hurt. letting tav go is also hard for him as well but he still thought about someone else. he could’ve whined or been possessive or jealous but he didn’t do that at all. where are all those people who reduce astarion to “the guy that flirts and sleeps with everyone” now? seriously. that’s not what he does, and when he was forced into it by cazador, he was trying to survive, he didn’t do it for his own pleasure. it’s not a “hot” personality trait of his, it’s literally trauma. and because he did it so much, he got used to it, and that resulted in him disassociating and feeling empty.

apparently if you ask him to join you and sleep with the drows at the brothel (something i will never make him do in my playthroughs), he only says yes because he struggles to say no. but he disassociates. and if you’re in a high approval relationship with him and he loves you, he will feel safe enough to express his feelings and say he’s not comfortable. this happens before you fight cazador. i’m not sure if he gives the same response after, but either way, if he joins in, he will always disassociate and it’s not something he wants to do despite what he may say.

that being said, it’s obviously still okay to appreciate his beauty and attractiveness, because he is very beautiful. he appreciates it and even likes being called beautiful. calling him “hot” and “sexy” isn’t a bad thing either, we know he can be and i'm sure he knows it too! it’s just annoying when people act like that’s ALL he is and they don’t even mention anything else about his character. the love scenes are beautifully done too (i personally prefer the second one after you’ve stopped him from doing the ritual, because that’s the one where he decided he truly wanted it and felt safe and comfortable because he genuinely loves you), and i actually would’ve been fine if they didn’t have any scenes like that at all because it’s totally understandable and valid if he didn’t feel comfortable, but i just hope that people don’t take things too far and over-sexualise him just because of how he appeared to be in the first half of the game and the way he’s often marketed on social media. and yes i know he’s fictional and nothing on the internet is going to hurt his feelings!!!! it’s more about the fact that he canonically has sexual trauma and many people still say really disturbing stuff even AFTER they find out about that, and it just makes me uncomfortable to think that people are okay with treating someone like a sexual object especially when they've said they're traumatised and it makes them uncomfortable. idk if this makes sense 😭

but yeah he doesn't want to flirt and sleep with everyone as i've seen people claim. and if in an alternate universe he did, and he did it on his OWN terms, and the other people he had relationships with enjoyed it too, then good for them! absolutely nothing wrong with that if there's consent, respect and honesty. however, that's not the case with what happened with astarion, because 1. he was forced into using his body WHEN HE DID NOT WANT TO and 2. he misled people and lured them to a miserable fate. it's so horrible and devastating for everyone involved. sex was never something fun for him, and it certainly isn't a "personality trait" of his. it was a survival tactic. he was forced to. he didn’t want to.

obviously when he becomes more comfortable, then it's totally understandable to get excited when he flirts and shows physical affection. he can be so charming, funny, sweet and romantic and i love that. it’s so beautiful to see him heal, genuinely find comfort in someone for the first time and experience intimacy that he feels ready and comfortable for. he deserves to love and be loved on his own terms instead of being forced. but again, he is so much more than the guy we were introduced to at the beginning. the internet just sees one thing and sticks with it but i really hope people start to actually appreciate him for who he is and the complexity of his character.

aaaaand i just had to leave this here <3

#astarion #baldur’s gate 3 #bg3 #sorry for rambling i’ve just been very emotional about him recently 😭 #also i hope people remember that even if he NEVER EVER wanted to have sex again he is 100% valid #he does not have to change or force himself to feel a certain way #especially after everything he’s been through #and if you think he does then you’re gross. he doesn’t owe anyone ANYTHING #anyways #when he kept apologising for not sleeping with tav i wanted to cry #there is literally a scene where if you tell him halsin is interested in you he says it’s ok to go to him #but then he gets concerned and asks if it’s because he hasn’t slept with you for a while #and i wanted to cry #he should NEVER have to feel guilty for that #honestly the only reason why i think he might eventually feel comfortable with sex again is because -> #in act 3 after his genuine love confession after you help him defeat cazador he initiates it himself #and it feels like it’s something he truly wants after developing a strong emotional bond with someone for the first time #and i think that’s really beautiful that he chose to do it on his own terms when he felt ready #but also #for a while i wasn’t sure if he was repulsed and uncomfortable by sex in general and hated it entirely #or if he only feels comfortable after he develops a strong emotional bond #the only reason i think the second one now is because of what happened in act 3 #but regardless whatever it is i just want him to feel safe and comfortable and happy #my posts

Undereage Superheroes On The Rise: A Morally and Ethically Cause of Concern?

It's supposed to be another clickbait news but it comes at the time when the existence of ghost was recently proved factual at a small town in Illinois along witha its dead teenage superhero, when the heroes of Paris and by large France accidentally revealed they weren't adults at all, not even close, when Spiderman was unmasked to be 16-year-old Peter Parker, when the Young Justice was wounded in a large scale attack.

Most of the people involved and not involved are not having fun.

(This is inspired by the Miraculous fanfic The Growing Pains of Child Soldiers by BloodWolf13, a fic which I recommend you read since it is very, very good. Hits all my whump and angst points)

#you can play fast and loose with the laws in this au #where superhero is real and so does aliens and gods #but explore more on the teenage heroes #and their roles in both caped community and the civillian world #like is there laws and exceptions that protect these child heroes #do government or any authority in charge who dislike vigilante try to take advantage if this outrageous #the young justice has the justice league to care for in the media storm and the necessary laws #but what about those don't #or those in foreign countries #also poor danny if people think he is the ghost of a child who wants to be superhero #and now both old and young heroes feel guilty to look at him #peter face palms at his parker's luck striking again #dp x dc x marvel x mlb #dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #danny phantom #spiderman #miraculous ladybug #young justice #justice league

Someone in the tags of my last Xero post (you know who you are) talked about the similarities between a doodle and Hollow so naturally I couldn’t stop thinking about Xero and Hollow.

I love the idea that Xero was a loved and respected knight. The idea he saw Hollow as a child and knew, knew, this was a child. And Hollow so, so young, feeling guilt about even letting this knight show kindness and love to them - when they were meant to be hollow (oh but they couldn’t be)

Do you think they felt guilty? When they overheard Xero raise his voice at the King, quickly hushed, because he dared suggest Hollow was a child? When they started seeing this knight less and less, scared that their father was furious at him? When suddenly this knight was executed, for betraying the king? Was it their fault? Should they have never allowed him to be himself, ran to avoid indulging in the tiny moments of someone looking at them as a person? Did they even know Xero was falling to the infection? Would that make it feel worse?

They were both victims of an infection, bound by gods with their own desires. No one wins in a gods game.

#hollow knight #doodles #hk xero #hk hollow #feeling so many feelings for them rn #tw impalement #<i have been trying for ages to get a proper tag whilst not being yeeted off of tumblr search dear god #LISTEN hollow in fix-it fic would feel SO guilty about failing #and I just #i can’t WORD IT UGHHH #i have another xero related doodle dump but its much nicer au than ‘hee hoo knight who got caught in the wrong cross fire’ #*holds heads in hands* #if xero had known the entire vessel plan he 100% wouldn’t have needed the infection to turn his nails against the king #but he didn’t. and he feels horrible for not fully knowing the story behind hollow. but how could he? #it’s just - dshdjksdjkshdjkhsdjkshdhsdjks #do people get it? do you understand my tired untangable brainrot? #i am thinking a lot about xero again. no one is surprised

the fact this emotionally devestating friendship breaking conversation started with "yo" is destroying me

for anyone wondering, the crux of their argument is mainly Macaque being mad at Wukong for not listening to him + only being obsessed with getting stronger and leaving everyone else behind to drown. (With the later context that Wukong just wanted to get stronger to protect his friends and then it all got out of hand.... yeah.) For his part, Wukong was mainly really passive aggressive (never outright insulting, but making it very clear that he's mad, with lines like "OH, I'm doing great, I'm just trapped under a mountain.")

It basically ended with Macaque saying "You trapped yourself here.", with Wukong's yelling "I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN."

Basically: We all been right all along, the basis of their argument was they were both too emotional and said things they didn't really fully mean- and then they let it fester.

I would like to say though, LOSING it over the fact that the conversation where Macaque says to Azure and the others that he doesn't think they should go after Wukong (in S4 Ep5), must've happened after this. ...Which means Macaque very much still cared.

#Monkie Kid #LMK S4 Special Spoilers #LMK Spoilers #Monkie Kid Spoilers #do you think...Macaque might feel guilty that he couldn't get Wukong out from under the mountain?? #i dont think it'd be like... a very strong guilt. but it might be there. #like a ''maybe if i hadn't said anything. maybe if i had found a way to get him free. maybe everything couldve been fine'' kinda guilt

We know that Peter was hanging around with Wade when Gwen got kidnapped by green Goblin, did Peter ever blame Wade or blame himself for having fun and goofing off while Gwen was getting 'napped?

i don't think he's that much of a jagoff to blame wade – and i don't think peter was really having fun or goofing off at all. he was just absentmindedly late - honestly, i think peter might've been running late because he was nervous about it. he's kind of characteristically always running behind. gwen's kind of always waiting for him.

it's just this time was the last time.

i think the thing is, peter knew he couldn't keep doing this to gwen - so, when he beats himself up for being too late - he's beating himself up over every. single. time he'd kept gwen waiting for him. over all of the years they'd been together.

he doesn't see it as one big failure - he sees it as hundreds and hundreds of little mistakes he kept making until it all fell apart at the end. i don't know if peter believes that, even if gwen lived, that he could've held onto her. he would've tried. and he might've failed. and i think he'll always feel like he didn't do enough.

i don't think it's her death that he feels guilty over - i think he feels guilty for failing her in life. for not telling her everything he wanted to tell her. for keeping her waiting.

#sci speaks #ask-spiderpool #i don't think peter feels guilty over gwen's death and captain stacy's death in the same way that he feels guilty over uncle ben's death #in gwen and capt stacy's case it wasn't that he failed to act. he tried his best and i think he knows that. #i think peter learns the hard lesson that even when you DO try you just can't save everyone.

Omggggg I'm in love w your teen Bruce au!!! Do you have any teen!Bruce and Duke thoughts? Or how teen Bruce would interact w Hal? I'm ahshshshd

OOo, I think Duke would be a bit of an enigma for a teen bruce; He's a nice boy. That's why Bruce is inclined to believe there's something seriously wrong with him.

" What's the ultimate goal here?"

" Are you asking because you want to know, or because you're looking to burn bridges? Cause that doesn't work on me."

Secondly. He doesn't take any of his shit.

" Yeah, you're not really the angry type," Bruce likes the hatch; perfect place to read psychology reports on yourself, if he has to say so himself.

Let no one say Duke isn't accurate,

" Very nice dissection of me, by the way. Self-esteem deficiency, self serving, -- I've never been called a hyperbolic altruist before. That's new."

Duke shrugs, " I learn as I go."

" I think you forgot stupid."

" I don't believe in that."

" Of course you don't," his mouth tugs upwards, just slightly, " seriously, thought. Why protect this city? What's the gain here?"

"The same reason you do It. "

" What? Love?" Bruce snorts, " No one protects their parents' killer out of love. You think I do this cause I'm good? I do it because I'm angry. "

" Gotham killed your parents. Not mine. It's never been about the city. It's about people. I'm not going to be bullied into not caring about people. Because you refuse to do that."

"A whole lot of good that did. I have a fucked up boxing match I'm destined to lose until I snap, and 7 kids who hate me."

" We don't hate you. You hate you."

He can't argue with that.

#also i think teen bruce interracting with the league and hal is really cool!! maybe a scene where they're interrogating someone and hal #is like. feeling guilty cause he had to use force.

do you ever think about Garak waking up and seeing Julian in that chair, uncomfortably crammed in and slumped over asleep, and wonder how he must've felt when he realized Julian wasn't going to leave

#star trek: ds9 #elim garak #julian bashir #otp: I need to know that someone forgives me #Garak wakes up in a haze of pain and overstimulation and far too many feelings #and the first thing he sees is Julian asleep in that chair right at his bedside #after Julian has promised him he'll stay with him and help him through everything- no matter what he did #its one thing to give your word its another to follow through and theres Julian. following through #theres Julian staying by his side #im gonna chew on glass. #how do you think Garak feels about it afterwards #knowing that he responded by attacking him #Julian is hovering over Garak's bed in the infirmary checking his readings and chatting away with him #but then he turns a certain way and winces #he doesnt say anything but his hand goes to his back #Garak asks if he's alright and Julian waves it off #says he's fine he just slept wrong #but there's this look in his eyes. guilty almost #he doesnt want to say it #but Garak knows #god The Wire you will always be famous I think about you every day

the chapter songs in Alan Wake 2,, flawless

#they deserve more love and discussion #saying this while also not knowing what to say other than they’re so fucking good #alan wake 2 #i think it’s partially because poets of the fall’s tracks are iconic so of course they’re in the spotlight (as deserved) #but also the CHAPTER SONGS. them being made for a given chatacter(s) with the help of Sam lakes poetry #the changes with ‘this road’ by Poe with every Alan chapter. becoming more distorted and revealing lyrics and the spiral #the scratch song being 1) hilarious and 2) similar to Zane’s poetry in the aw1 arg #the emotion in superhero when saga feels lost at the story making it so Logan was gone #the lines of her feeling like a ghost in this story forming around her.. how she feels guilty and absent for both what the story’s doing #and being away from Logan because of her job. ashdhhhhjhh my heart #AND. follow you into the dark HAS to be alice. which kills me because at for at I thought of Alan #but no. Alice jumped in the dark place after him. it’s so !!!!!!!!!!! #the rabbit hole line. Alice spiraling deeper and deeper into a dream—into wonderland #the Lost at Sea one is also good. intrigues me. the Bowie and Lynch references are blatantly aw2 Zane #but it’s so similar to diver Zane and the ‘originals’ death. being lost in the dark place with illusions of escape #and losing any sense of identity. whether he’s real at all or the monster of this sea or just a lost soul. #the soft and calm vocals / instrumental really makes the whole thing #NEED to stop typing more tags because this is a Lot. however. #‘no one left to love’ is also a phenomenal song and one of my favorites from the album. GORGEOUS vocals and how it all flows together. #such a powerful and beautiful way to end a chapter #anyway that’s all I had to say :) #god. I’ve started to watch a few playthroughs of the game and 90% of people have skipped the chapter songs and every time im #that’s fair but my brain and soul might implode if I don’t see anyone else talking about how good these songs are

One thing they don't tell you about the Senshi tulpa that WILL inevitably manifest in your mind to tell you to eat better is that. Every time I make myself a coffee via kuerig instantly, I can hear him. Lamenting the fact that I have become so accustomed to convenience and ease that even a standard coffee machine has become foreign to me. I am thinking about how to make coffee without use of a machine in the first place, I am wondering where my french press went, I can see him. In my mind. Showing me how to make coffee in The Dungeon. Dungeon Coffee.
