#hi. i’m extremely normal

[mncrw]

i love how to eat life so much. it’s about self destruction. it’s about self hatred. it’s about some abstract concept of ‘self’. you’re not good enough to warrant wasting food on so you eat yourself instead. it’s about watching a monster kill everything in its path and seeing yourself in it. it’s about taking in the little girl that crawls out of its corpse because the way she destroys everything around her reminds you of yourself. it’s about being undeserving but not being able to stop taking and taking and still wanting more. it’s about looking in the mirror and seeing only a thing with a penchant for violence. it’s about the color orange.

you understand mumbo like no one else on this website. i have been rewatching s6 and in episode 129 (non-chronological; he shows the results of his redstone before the process) there's bit where he says "i can't test this, but you already know how it turned out, so let me know in the comments whether i've succeeded" and then he continues, somewhat abashed as is the mumbo jumbo way, "i know that's not how time works, but still, some reassurance would be nice"

you see he is very embarrassed to be sidestepping the linear progression of time, he knows it's not the done thing, he's just anxious and could you be so kind this once? "i know that's not how time works but still" translation = he knows he's meant to follow the laws of physics - everyone does it! - but oh dear that one is very inconvenient at this particular moment, so please don't mind him.

-tgh

YES exactly exactly this man will apologize for breaking the flow of linear time as if he used the wrong fork to eat dessert (he is terribly sorry for making a scene)

#we are shaking hands we are sharing the mumbo characterization brain cell u understand #i didn’t even know about that moment but i’m so happy it exists #The Most Extremely Normal Guy Ever #mumbo jumbo #splashasks #anonymous #if i’m supposed to know who tgh is im sorry my brain is not firing on all cylinders but hi !

it’s with depression that i fear i have to say, i think for a long time (too long really), zuko doesn’t reach out to his uncle during his retirement in ba sing se, not even for the much needed guidance he could use, because he considers it part of the exhaustive list of reparations the fire nation (and he himself) owes

#zuko: he deserves peace too that’s what this is all for #and you zuko? your peace? (he doesn’t know the meaning of the word in relation to himself) #i’m sure iroh reaches out often. lots of letters #but for one zuko’s swamped and pushing himself past his own limits with his responsibilities besides #and for two he’s just as guilty about his treatment of his uncle as his treatment of the gaang if not probably moreso really #it is of course horribly misguided and i expect iroh would eventually show up on his doorstep like you IDIOT boy of mine—! #but until then. zuko is in fact being a self sacrificing and self hating idiot #i also think this is largely true to his character because he has no idea how to uphold normal and healthy relationships #obvi particularly familial #and zuko always deals in extremes when it comes to everything he does #so rather than outright cruelty and insults….he swings in the opposite direction and overcompensates…. #by shutting iroh out completely #and justifying it as ‘he deserves peace and i do not’ #which is completely incorrect of course on all levels #but he’s still learning and his development arc doesn’t end at the finale of book 3 #ebb and flow. like water one might even say teehee #idk if this is canon to the comics i’m not super familiar with them except for a few plot points and quotes #it just breaks my heart that zuko still doesn’t understand that it is harmful to withhold himself from people who care about him #than it is to supposedly protect them from knowing him and being close to him #he makes me so emo hes so emo i love him so much

“oh I HC [white guy du jour] as italian-american” okay why is he so well-adjusted in your fic, then? Why is he mentally Normal? Is it because you want him to cook?

i love reading the tags on reblogs of HABIT posts cause they’re all like

“i want him DEAD i want him to BURN IN HELL i wanna see him get BEAT TO DEATH and SUFFER and DIE i wanna see him DROWN IN MISERY and be DISMEMBERED and feel PAIN but hehe i love him he’s so silly <3”

cause honestly same

#there’s a nuance in loving HABIT cause we’re supposed to hate him #like canonically he was Jack the Ripper and Ed Gein and an actually World War II nazi #but god dammit if he wasn’t so fucking funny in everymanhybrid that you can’t help but enjoy his screen time #and yeah normal people were probably like ‘oh hes actively laughing at murder that’s so scary #and the rest of us who love unhinged silly villains like Bill Cipher are like ‘hell yeah get’em babygirl <3’ #it’s just that he’s a real world type evil and that’s where the horror is supposed to come from #but he’s been so far removed from that that i’m pretty sure 90% of the emh fandom doesn’t even know he was also like fuckin Josef Mengele #so it’s a mix of liking someone fictional who’s commiting silly acts of extreme violence #but it’s toeing a line of brushing off real people and events that shouldn’t be made light of #but here in fanon we just focus on silly purple rabbit man #<-not william afton #<-or Jax #there’s too many at this point #emh #everymanhybrid #habit emh #habit everymanhybrid

Sometime when I look at Vessel I am struck with a deep urge to bite something, be it my own arm or his, dealer’s choice

woah sixty notifications anyways,

to preface arctic is my favorite character but narratively not in a “wow he’s a good person” way so let that shape your opinion of my opinion

giant fucking essay under cut i’m sorry

can anyone hear me. why is arctic portrayed in the fandom as tragic and had a negative character arc after killing those icewings with his magic. when he’s been horrible the entire time, just more subtly. he found everything in his life to be utterly tragic and boring and it all to be a big drag. he was a prince and he was expected for the animus powers he held and the offspring he’d have. arctic saw himself as an extension of diamond— which all princes are to their queens, basically— and he hated it. he had no authority over his own life and this was also enforced by the ranking system and general icewing culture.

…except that he never had any ill thoughts about that. it was always about what power his mother held over him. interesting! he didn’t care for the system and the hierarchy enforced by it, because by being an animus prince he was naturally at the top all the time and he didn’t have to care about how he treated other dragons because he was his mother’s favorite little dragon.

he detested THAT. his MOTHER was the one deciding everything for him. and he was powerless to do anything about that! how could a prince stand up to his queen and mother, animus or not, and live past that conversation. so he lashed out outside of that. he hated and ignored snowflake because she was just an extension of his mother. he describes her as “sparkly and boring the way mother likes” because he never bothered to see past what role she served in his life. she’s actually deeply complex as we can tell by runaway winglet where she’s her own pov, with an intricate and dark mind and more motivations than arctic ever had in his life.

arctic does not care, because he considers her lower than him. his mother can exercise her power on him through other dragons all he wants, but he still knows that he is severely more powerful and more important than any other dragon except her in his life. …and also, i think he has a weird complex about female dragons. hear me out,

when arctic meets foeslayer, it’s the first time he meets a nightwing. he expects them all to be boring and not of any interest to him in the slightest, but foeslayer just happens to overhear his conversation with snowflake and finds it hilarious. she laughs in his face, makes fun of him for forgetting his betrothed’s name. this is interesting to arctic. nobody has dared to make fun of him in his entire life because of his status. instead of being upset, like most icewings would, his situation with diamond shaped him to respond with amusement. what does he have to gain from laughing at himself with a nightwing? well, he gets a bit of freedom. room to stretch his wings and see beyond his mother’s (and the icewing rankings, but mostly he thinks of it as his mother) suffocation on him and every opinion he dares to hold.

arctic barely sees foeslayer as a romantic interest because because she’s charming, funny, pretty. he sees her as a way to piss off his mom. look at this dragon who doesn’t follow rules, who is starkly not an icewing noble with pretty glittery scales, who is not at all someone diamond could ever see her precious animus son with. foeslayer is crass and doesn’t think before she speaks and clumsy and not at all caring of how other dragons think of her and arctic likes that. he even gives her one of his earrings and enchants it, dares to defend her in the meeting hall by saying that she hadn’t actually stolen it and that he had given it, because he knows it’d get to his mother. he’s spitting at the ground in front of her feet, saying, “i can do more than you want me to”, “i am my own dragon”, and “you don’t decide my life”.

to arctic, female dragons in his life are a tool more than they’d ever be individuals.

obviously arctic’s rash decision to fall in love with a random nightwing is not the narrative’s favorite choices. obviously.

let’s skip forward a lot and, almost at the end here i promise, look at how he treats his offspring.

by the very start he meets darkstalker with contempt. he doesn’t like his name (because it’s creepy, and because foeslayer chose it and not him) and he doesn’t like how much attention foeslayer gives him. let me restate. arctic, the grown, married, ADULT MAN. Is jealous of his newborn son for taking up more time in foeslayer’s life. how interesting.

he detests darkstalker because he also looks more like a nightwing than whiteout. we don’t see whiteout hatch (because darkstalker is off running around and being the most self absorbed guy ever, even if he pretends he’s not) but we know this about her and arctic. arctic named her, and arctic doesn’t think of her as much of a dragon and more of a pretty thing he can flaunt around until he’s done. darkstalker points this out, which is means to scrutiny because darkstalker himself is a very unreliable and rose tinted narrator, but i think it makes sense based on arctic’s track record, honestly.

female dragons are NOT anything he cares about as individuals. Loud and clear. this is not a trait that is recently developed after he finds out foeslayer ‘betrayed’ him. He has been like this the entire time.

he wants to bring whiteout to the icewing kingdom not because he cares about her, but because he wants to use her and make his mother like him again. arctic wants to go back and grovel to his mother using his daughter as a bargaining chip, because he doesn’t want to kill his offspring, that’s a bit too much for him. but he does want his mother’s attention back, because foeslayer has stopped serving the role of a surrogate caretaker to him. now that she knows better. arctic by this point has learned loud and clear that the nightwings (against foeslayer’s wishes and hidden from her but he doesn’t really care by this point) wanted to steal him for his animus powers.

that’s.. not what he wanted. in the unwilling prisoner sense AND in his fantasy of sticking it up to his mother and spitting in the face of her power over him. now he’s in the power of another queen that he doesn’t like. isn’t that great, it’s all looped back on itself and arctic realizes that he receives consequences for his actions of being a complete asshole and misogynist!

anyways yeah. he’s one of my favorites because he’s deeply complex, at least in my brain if the complexity i’ve outlined here was unintentional on tui’s part and was just a big fumble that ended up being GOLDEN. also this essay doesn’t exist to try and convert anyone into my way of thinking and as a big brainwashing scheme to make you like arctic, no, i just wanted to get my thoughts out clearly before i got cancelled for the thought crime of liking a fictional dragon misogynist.

anyways cheers if you’ve made it this far, thanks for listening to my insanity.

lyrics: i’m a silly stupid angel, smile sweetly as you watch / and my wings are frail and brittle, and i whisper when i talk / please don’t remind me of the role i’m here to play / please god forgive me for the things that i can’t say / self actualization, maybe this is how it ends / i fall into formation, service is my fulfillment / i’m your soulmate in denial, self esteem gets in the way / and i’m just a little child who won’t live to see the day / when i’m regarded as a human being too / but all your lies just start to blend into my truth / self actualization, maybe this is how it ends / i fall into formation, service is my fulfillment / don’t try to tell me i’m not happy / don’t try to tell me this is wrong / don’t try to tell me that i’m broken / cause by now i’m too far gone / self actualization, maybe this is how it ends / i fall into formation, service is my fulfillment / self actualization, maybe this is how it ends / i fall into formation, service is my fulfillment / self actualization, maybe this is how it ends / i fall into formation, service is my fulfillment / self actualization, maybe this is how it ends / i fall into formation, service is my fulfillment

#hi i have a very important linguistics paper due in seven hours but i am distracting myself by playing vent music #inspired by: i typed out a long tagful of venting on wednesday night and then realized it was dumb to post it but it included the words #‘​‘tomorrow i will smile like a silly stupid angel’’ and so then the next day which is yesterday when i was once again anxious #then i wrote that part into a song. and now my roommate finally left the room for long enough that i could record it. very roughly #one of those songs where i need to get to a piano and figure out what the real chords are. but here it is for now #anyway this is about suppressing yourself in order to be more easily objectified!!!! because you feel like that’s your innate purpose #the deeper meaning of your life perhaps. the person you need to actualize. that is why i wrote this song #something something i don’t actually think this wrote this during an anxiety attack etc. me when it’s 2 in the morning on a wednesday night #and i have a midterm in the morning but i’m too busy sobbing to either study or sleep. college!! so much fun!!!! #anyways. i’m normal now basically. aside from extremely important paper due seven hours from now #but here is a song right now. i feel like a lot of us are struggling in the same boat #and i definitely am. PS this is not even about my relationship that im in right now. which is good shdhdf that would be an awful start #it’s literally so inapplicable to my current relationship. but i am just still insane. and so i am still upset and afraid. so yeah #anyway i’m in a little bit of a weird way i’m sorry for speaking weird and whatever. looking forward to dinner i think #i hope everyone is doing well. and let me know if you need anything #sending love from depression dorm room. and hope everyone is holding it together okay #me. my post. mine. #delete later #ask to tag

I’m just going to come out and say it I think tai lung is getting a redemption in kfp 4

#the reason really all comes down to one shot in the trailer #when the chameleon summons him through the portal and the scene is completely flooded with bright golden light #this might not seem significant but these movies actually have color symbolism that they use very consistently #basically any time a color is prominent in a shot it means something #anyways in the kfp color symbolism gold represents heroism #it’s why po is often shown with gold tinges or in gold light #also probably why tigress switches to a yellow outfit #in kfp 1 tai lung is almost always shown with blue lighting #and blue represents evil #so the fact that this movie is showing him with extremely prominent gold light is definitely alluding to a change in his morality #some people are saying he’s going to have to reluctantly team up with po to fight the chameleon and redeem himself in the process #but I actually disagree I think he’s going to already be redeemed once he appears #bc the scene in the trailer is most likely his first appearance in the movie #also it seems like they’re already doing that redemption through reluctant alliance with po and zhen #my working theory is that tai lung has been reflecting on everything that happened while he’s in the spirit realm and realized… #…where he went wrong and wants to do better #I’m so normal about these movies guys
