aftercare : what do you do once you’re done ? how do you take care of each other ?
absolutely yippee !!
if we're talking canon touya, i think there is a small sliver of time afterwards that he's still kind of vulnerable. gooey. he'll just lay beside me on the bed, or rest wherever, right in my vicinity, and just catch his breath 🥺 won't say anything, i think 🥺 will maybe allow me to touch him in some way, like hold his hand or touch his face 🥺 it's like we're in a bubble, and taking care of each other in this moment is just—not breaking it, because then we can't get it back, don't know if we ever will 🥺 he doesn't say anything and neither do i, we just hold onto it for as long as we can before reality catches up 🥺
The craziest part of the episode to me is the ice cream table exchange about Beth tbh like Morty truthfully believes that Rick would say
“This may as well be our real daughter because she’s just as real as you.”
and
“Put it this way. You’re all basically NPCs. Only Morty and I are real, so your side quests don’t matter. The main quest is us.” (referring to he and Diane exclusively)
And when Diane, rightfully, combats him for his thinking with
“You’re disgusting. You’re talking about our baby girl like she’s theoretical?”
Beth throws in “Welcome to the family.”
Which might be one of the most heartbreaking lines in the whole thing to me because Morty has observed Rick enough to believe that this line of thinking is entirely in character for not only Rick but for the rest of the family too. Like Morty truly believes that Rick doesn’t care about them in anyway and that when faced with this, even Beth would just respond with the belief that this is the norm, at least from Rick anyway. So much so, that he uses an outside character in Diane to call out how insane it is.
Morty believes that Rick only cares about Diane and literally everyone else doesn’t matter and that’s just so sad to me, especially when we have seen otherwise but he can’t be faulted for thinking that when Rick carries that facade with him almost always, and especially to Morty directly.
"it's better to tear it all down than let things continue like this" just seems like such a big thing to be resigned to...do you think they talked about it
i’ve always found it peculiar how during meeting the chargers cutscene the game just assumes your character automatically understands what krem is talking about when he mentions binding (though, granted, it’s all very unsubtle). like, this is a roleplaying game. what if i want to play a character who just doesn’t get it
sitting in my little corner of “as much as i love love love prime bros, i also love the idea of nine being a character to fought so hard to get something, anything, and in the end, he got nothing”
i love me a tragic character who fought so hard to get his happy ending but never did because life just wasn’t fair to him
Time for my monthly emotional breakdown because I'm crying over the tragic character who deserves so much but was deprived of love, making him doomed to fall to his destiny
😭😭😭
please I'm watching tiktok edits of novel Claude and- I can't
|| 🍍• I love how Megatron in Transformers: Prime acts as if he’s constantly surrounded by idiots, and yet he’s the complete normal one who had to ingest literal ‘spooky wooky space crack’ to see Optimus Prime for the first time in three years…
i'm not saying anything that hasn't already been said by smarter people than me but. Oghren's little brat in Dreadwolf. all grown up and ready to cleave a man in half please. Please.
Playing around a little with my Nomu!Aizawa... scars based on when he gets snatched, hair down to his middle-back, extra extra scruff because of an even more diminished ability to care for himself, a faded mark on his ring finger...
If you thought Aizawa couldn’t get more tired surprise! As a Nomu in my AU his main purpose is Shiggy’s alarm system (I love the head canon that Shigaraki is an Aizawa fan because he’s the kind of selfless hero he wished saved him as a child, so in this AU he gets that wish aaa). It means that even when he does get to sleep his quirk will open an eye automatically anytime something makes a noise near Shigaraki. I also kind of wanted to go with Kurogiri’s naming mechanic and give him a Nomu name that translates, so Yabureme is how he’s known!
Alternate title, “Forgiveness will not be found here”
I could’ve fully rendered the background but that’s not what I was going for, instead I wanted to focus on a mood, something symbolic, something melancholic
Something deeper than my usual no braincell sexy Ace ungabunga stuff
seeing all the reblogs and tags on my terricky post has me going not only feral but properly insane
I'm so glad yall see the vision - now hear me out on some sad headcanons (happy ones will come later) :
After The Betrayal™️ for about a year (the expiration limit of inhalers) Terry still kept Nicky's inhalers in easy to access places, the glove compartment of his car, in his go bags, in his office, in any place that nicky and he were together in a lot. But after they expired, they now sit in a little box tucked away safely. He tried to throw them away, but he just couldn't.
Terry keeps his office locked because the others come in, move shit, and don't put things back in the right spot and it drives him crazy. It's lessened since Nicky left, and he misses it now. The lock had never stopped him since he could just... carve portals into Terry's office. But he misses the scent of sulfur in his office and finding his shit fucked with.
He's big on organization, he has filing cabinets in his office he fills with important documents, scrolls, and other shit he'll need to quick access too. But one of them, the top one, is always locked.
He keeps the name plate that was on Nicky's office door locked away in that drawer, because one of the others tried to throw it away, and he couldn't handle seeing Nicky's name in the trash. So he put it with all the important documents he keeps stored away in his locked office.
He keeps all photos he has of him, Nicky, and the others in his office both at daddies and at home.
