me: hmm i need 3 favours from hell asap i wonder if my opportunity deck will condescend to help me out

my opportunity deck:

#this is why I'm now traumatizing the circumspect envoy instead #the fifth card is one I've been saving to remove wounds #pro tip: to succeed in dangerous challenges simply have a card that removes wounds and you will never fail again so it sits there forever #fallen london #flmp #mp #last week i needed a presumptuous little opportunity on one character #and every single other character started drawing it #and for the one i needed it on i had to wait for time the healer and favorable circumstances #i was going insane #i just kept getting it on everyone else

I just started reading the svsss volumes (and re-read them again because A LOT IS GOING ON) but like. This shit is so hysterically funny I don't even know where to begin.

Was no one????? Going to tell me that one of the cornerstone jokes in the damn series is that lbh's adoration for his one and only 'tism person who literally cannot express his emotions to save his life is basically genetic?????????

Was no one???? No one AT ALL going to tell me that Mobei-Jun straight up yeets Airplane at the problem in one of the scenes?????? And that in the most hilarious twist of fate Airplane then unyeets Mobei-Jun not twenty minutes later?????

It's one thing to see people joke about sqq and lbh being unable to communicate but it's on a league of its own when you have to read HUNDREDS OF PAGES of sqq's inner monologue be like 'that's my darling boy. my baby. my sugar plum pumpy umpkin you're my sweetie pie' but on the outside he says "get lost binghe" and somehow deems that an effective expression of his affection that lbh will surely understand. 'Why is lbh whining and crying and tugging at my sleeve like a plaintive wife, why is he so angry?' Sqq asks, the entire circus, as lbh is about to fling himself off a cliff for attention--

In short, MXTX is the queer comedian of our generation and nobody appreciates her enough

#svsss #bingqiu #shen qingqiu #luo binghe #mxtx what must it be like to carry the gays on your shoulders like this #she ran so that the rest of us could walk oh my actual god #i just can't get over how much of the novels are sqq panicking because he needs to 'do right' by lbh #aka make lbh the absolute lunatic from the original #so its just this uproarious back and forth between a guy trying to make a bbg desperate for his love into a human weapon #AND make himself disappear before that weapon is turned on him (also probably the self-hatred talking) #amazing showstopping spectacular **slaps sqq's back** you can fit so many repressed internalizations of toxic masculinity in this mf #legit as i read these volumes i just kept thinking of that meme like 'congrats sqq buddy that's the worst anyone's ever done it' (joke) #not that lbh is any better but in fairness the lad is going through a lot too so i spare him too harsh a judgement #also sincerely i dont think i was prepared for just how stupid how crazy lbh goes for sqq. it was. MAGNIFICENT #I was like 'surely he isn't that dramatic' and then by god everyone. by god I started reading and went #'jesus christ that's a nuclear missile shaped little meow meow and that's HILARIOUS' #i also just can't get over sqq insisting 'IM NOT GAY. I DONT GAY. IM THE STRAIGHTEST STRAIGHT!!!!' #while. literally. saying full stop to lbh of like 'wym i smile more genuinely at everyone else they're just scarecrows around me' #sqq--the man who couldn't bear to see lbh suffering as a young boy. #who was so affected he was crying in his sleep and calling out lbh's name over and over #ON WHAT LEVEL IS THAT HETEROSEXUAL SQQ. THE JIG IS UP #literally EVERYONE around sqq being like 'congrats on being the last to know' about his love for lbh #and can we talk about sqq being like 'we used to communicate so seamlessly that we had no need for words. there was no greater joy for me.' #and highlighting that though gongyi xiao was a similar and talented young lad he fell decidedly short because he did not have above quality #and then sqq still being in denial; i swear i LOVE the little hints mxtx drops i feel like the happiest mouse scampering around for crumbs #additionally a question: how does anyone take liu qingge seriously #when he's displeased he just yells 'HEY' and does nothing about it (most times) #that is the most boomer dad energy i think i've ever seen #also :(((((((( all the jokes about tianlang-jun (though accurate) were so deceptive my heart was broken at the end of vol.3

While we are discussing Nyaruto, the descriptions of the cats on the Nyaruto website make me insane (complimentary). Whoever wrote these, I am nodding and shaking your hand.

[good-beanswrites]

If it's okay with you, could you write a drabble about the hypothetical aftermath of Amane getting attacked by Kotoko?

Welp thank you pal for making me absolutely insane with this request 👍 I ran through a few hypotheticals and realized I had to shift some things around since there were so many absolutely tragic outcomes. I worked something out but damn if it didn’t make me emotional to think about how uniquely rough Amane has it. Even making sure she's in a good place at the end, this got pretty serious, so warnings for child abuse and cult references. 

(So in canon, Kotoko goes in order and attacks Fuuta, but Kazui steps in. Then she attacks Mahiru while he’s distracted with his injuries. She’s about to attack Amane, but Mikoto gets in the way (my hc that he did it on purpose survives!). By the time they reach a draw, Kazui is back, and the two of them can prevent Kotoko from any further action against Amane. Sticking to this apparent system of three attacks and one rescue, I’m just shuffling around the injuries for this story. Fuuta’s attack went unnoticed, and he’s in the same state as canon Mahiru. Mikoto steps in before Kotoko can fight Mahiru, so Mappi’s the one who get out physically unscathed. While Mikoto checks on Mahiru, recovers himself, or discovers Fuuta, Kotoko is able to attack Amane next. Kazui comes to help, but not before she leaves Amane looking like canon Fuuta.)

Mahiru could practically feel her heart shatter into a million pieces when Amane finally cried in front of her. She hadn’t shed a single tear yesterday – it was the shock, Shidou said. Mahiru was skeptical. After all, she had been shocked, too, and cried plenty.

Amane woke as she came in with breakfast. She took a moment to survey herself, bandages peeking out from beneath her pajamas and an eyepatch securely over her right eye. As calmly as one might say “good morning,” she started to cry. Mahiru might have missed it, if Amane hadn’t wiped at her good eye with her sleeve.

“Oh, sweetheart…!” Mahiru rushed over to her. “It’s okay, I’m here.” She wanted nothing more than to wrap the girl in a secure embrace, but she remembered the mass of bandages that were around her chest. Shidou had mentioned broken ribs and bruises. It took everything in her not to cry along with Amane, at the thought.

“I can get you another ice pack, if you need. Or more medicine.” Her mind spun with ways to help with pain. Many of the first aid supplies had been used to keep Fuuta from the brink of death, but surely there were extras to spare for Amane. 

The girl just shook her head. 

She muttered, “I can’t… I…I’m going to be punished, I’m going to be punished…”

“No! You’re safe now.” Mahiru placed her hands gently on Amane’s arms. “Kotoko’s not coming back. We’re all watching over you. You’re safe. She’s not going to hurt you anymore.” 

“That’s not…” Amane pulled away. Her voice stayed level, despite hiccups interrupting her. A hand reached up to her eyepatch. “It’s this. It’s all of this. It’s sinful. I took it off last night, but he must have…” She started unwrapping it. “They’re going to punish me...” 

With a careful motion, Mahiru held it in place and took Amane’s hands into her own. She’d been picking up on the signs ever since they arrived here together, and a final wave of understanding washed over her. 

“I can’t let you do that.”

Amane’s expression twisted, though words came out far more frantic than fiery. “Let me go.” 

Mahiru didn’t. “I’m sorry. Amane, you need this treatment.”

“That is not your decision to make. That is not any human’s decision to make.”

Mahiru pressed her lips together. “I know. But I can’t watch as you… I can’t sit by again while someone…” She was careful not to apply any pressure, but she could no longer fight the urge to gather Amane up in her arms. “You don’t need to be afraid of those people, anymore.”

“I’m not afraid.” Amane hiccuped. “They love me, and I love them. I need to be good for them.”

“I love you, and I don’t want to see you in pain.”

“You just pity me because I’m young.”

“Why does your age matter? You are a lovely young woman – you are my friend – and I can’t bear to see you in pain.”

The two sat in silence for a moment. Mahiru doubted she would take that as an answer; Amane had refused to call any of the others her friend. At least she didn’t argue. In fact, it seemed she was leaning into the embrace a bit more. She sighed a shaky breath into Mahiru’s uniform.

“Listen, Amane. Can you do me a favor? I’m trying to be a good girl, too. To make up for something awful, I need to make sure you’re alright. Can you help me? Can we be good together?”

A long pause followed. Amane’s voice spoke up, ever so gently.

“I suppose I can consider it.” She added quickly, “for the sake of your redemption. Of course.”

“Of course.”

#milgram #amane momose #mahiru shiina #thank you so much! i dont want to be bubbly on such a serious drabble but i want to give an enthusiastic thanks because this one really got #the gears turning!! #i started making plans as soon as i saw the ask and it took so long finding something that wouldnt result in straight up tragedy :( #if i kept to the initial timeline and said kazui didnt step in until amanes attack then both fuuta and mahiru would be close to death #and given there seems to limited supplies i think one of them would have died if shidou needed to treat three critical patients #so i moved people around to make sure everyone survived #which brought me to the main problem of amane self sabotaging her medical care #even minor injuries could have resulted in death if she got her way and removed bandages/refused treatment #but the mental strain of keeping the treatment would be just as bad as the physical pain -- shed be paranoid 24/7 of #divine punishment and repeating the mistakes that led her here.... it would hurt more to be forced like that #so i needed someone to be able to get through to her gently #but the only one who shes been able to trust just got the shit beat out of him and is in no position to talk!!!! #everyone else would just make her more upset or not know how to convince her the right way :( #still - i think mahiru could do it the best! with her own trauma from allowing loved ones to die in front of her i think shed be motivated #so. yeah. #i know amane is supposed to be talking in the plural pronoun now but i couldnt get it to work - lets just say that kicks in soon after this #tw cults #tw child abuse #drabbles

not to be obnoxious but like. you people are mad at those watcher guys for making you pay for a subscription service. but you were all able to look past the fact that they had an entire series where they just made jokes about actual real life true crime cases. that makes sense

#i fucking DESPISE buzzfeed unsolved #they were so fucking tone deaf with how they handled their true crime shit it made me so fucking angry #like you guys claim to be against the commercialising of true crime but not when two haha funny little guys do it yeah ?? #fuck you all actually those dudes were always trash #and i kept feeling insane for being bothered by it whilst everyone else was worshipping them #they went to the scene of the keddie cabin murders which is a case i studied back when i did forensic archaeology #and bear in mind that the daughter of that family is still alive #and they stood there next to this site where a family and their friend were stabbed to death and fucking laughed and made jokes #and people didn’t care just because the jokes were never directly at the expense of the victims as if that makes it ok ??? #that woman is still fucking alive. can you fucking imagine if she’d seen that like how that would feel #i’m fucking tired of teaching people basic human decency when it comes to true crime fuck you people #and don’t get me wrong what those guys are doing now IS scummy #but like ?? compared to fucking making their entire success of goofing about at real fucking crime scenes ???? they were always trash

You know I was against Giovanni taking over all the villain arcs (save for Sinnoh's) in Pokemon Masters until the Kalos one because now there's a possibility his aim is to start up Rainbow Rocket again and how cool would it be to see the half redeemed villains have to fight against alternate, more evil versions of themselves who succeeded in their original plans

#pokemon #pokemon masters #it started with 'I hate that this is just giovanni getting the spotlight again' and then turned into #'wait they actually kept Lysandre in character this was the best way to do this' #and given Lysandre and Cyrus both got alts and Ghetsis still has his OG and maxie and archie have their original designs from gen 7 #there's a way for them to include the other outfits and bring back the evil versions while still keeping the character development #and also opening the door for alt versions of the same character like Ingo for example #that might end up being too complicated though we'll see #it doesn't feel super likely but it's always a possibility skfhs #ALSO I want to clarify Ghetsis is not half redeemed in the slightest #everyone else has something there that they can develop further #but ghetsis will always be evil THOUGH he also hates giovanni in pokemas lore so he would absolutely oppose him #N has given him multiple opportunities to grow and maybe have a father son relationship #but the ONLY time ghetsis even acknowledged that was when he was trying to manipulate N #ghetsis and giovanni can shake hands in pokemas lore for trying to manipulate their sons

okay, i dont really care for gale, but i really wanna know what's going on with the whole minstra took advantage of him in a similar manner to shadowheart or others

because im not rlly interested in romancing him, and the way he tells you stuff when not romancing him just makes it feel like there was just a power imbalance and he purposefully overstepped the boundaries with her because he wanted more power/knowledge/possibly to become a god and she was like 'ok fuck you' and then became really fucking rude to him

but its not sounding like all this was done when he was a kid? i would assume since he had been a goddess's lover he would be of age but i could very much be wrong. can someone please shine a light on this?

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #help? #most of these people seemed to have been harmed from whe nthey were ignorant #while gale just sounds like he was fully aware of what he was doing #or had his own free will of it unlike asterion #obviously mystra planting a bomb in his chest totally wrong #but im so confused as to like #gale kept pushing boundaries and he reaped the seeds he sowed #he was an adult and fully aware of his actions??? #asterion literally could not ressit via vampire influence #laezel and shadowheart were indoctrinated #wyll still worked for the greater good despite his deal #and accepts his punishment without trying to get out of it #gale just continues to keep pushing boundaries at every turn im confused of how hes a victim on the same level as everyone else #yeah hes a victim of mystras cruelty because she shouldnt basically murder him or tell him to commit die #but i fail to see how these are the same as everyone else???

theres like something uniquely alienating about being a loveless aro and also struggling with the idea of having close friends and also trying to learn how to enjoy life bc everywhere its love love love love like. maybe my goal in life is not to find love. maybe i want my friends to accept me as i am and not expect me to Love them when that doesnt feel like the right word for how i feel towards them. maybe my friends dont feel like internet siblings or whatever maybe they really are "just" friends to me that i care about and maybe i want to live alone with only like pets for company and am only hung back by the fact that i would logically function better with other people in the house.

and maybe i dont want ANY kind of significant other!! maybe i dont WANT a platonic partner or a queerplatonic partner or someone who i hold above all else in any way. i dont want people who are super affectionate to me i dont want to learn how to be happy with someone i want to learn how to be happy with myself, by myself. i dont need anyone and i dont want to need anyone i dont want to Love anyone. i want for me, by myself, to be enough. to be enough to live and have a happy life and to be enough for the people im around. i want friends but i dont want friends who love me i just want friends who understand me and care about the type of purrson i already am not about how well i can fit into the allos purrfect life just supposedly aro edition

#like. shiiiiittt #they should make pawsitivity posts about everything ever not just being loveless #for loveless romance repulsed ppl #like i dont just want pawsitivity about being loveless #i want pawsitivity and recovery advice and motivational quotes that arent all about love love love love #is it not enough to just care. is it not enough to just be myself #i thought it was bad enough just being arospec and romance repulsed #but as i grew i just kept getting more aro and it was like everyone else found more ways to get more accomodating for some aros #but still intensely alienating for the rest of us #idk. insane ramblings putting here bc maybe somewhere out there theres people like me #loveless aro #loveless #mask mews #personal

Today was the last DND session for a three-year campaign and I am big sad :(

One of the players brought whiskey for a last toast, which was very kind of them. I had never had whiskey before. Turns out I do not like whiskey. Unsurprising.

It tastes like slightly nicer hand sanitizer.

#blue chatter #it was a flavored whiskey as well #everyone else who had it said it was rly smooth and sweet #so I don’t think I super wanna know what regular whiskey tastes like #it was supposed to be like vanilla caramel flavored or smth #I was told it was like cream soda and that was a LIE it was like disinfectant #with a vanilla aftertaste #the campaign went rly rly well though #I’m seriously going to miss it #the final boss battle was just pure catharsis we absolutely whaled on that dark abberant goddess #she got Destroyed #an entire section of the continent restructured bc of the removal of her corruption #I rly like that my character got to be disabled at the tail end of this campaign #they wielded experimental magic that wasn’t supposed to work and resurrected someone who the Keeper very intentionally kept dead #it worked because they partially fused with Arawai the goddess of life and became her aspect on earth #but becoming partially divine in a mortal body takes a toll #they had more and more limited mobility and the more they cast magic to compensate the more of a toll it takes #functionally that meant my movement speed was reduced #and I lost more abilities after each combat as the consequences of overextending myself caught up to me #I wish I’d gotten to play this longer to see how this ended mechanically but it was a lot of fun to get a character who is both #very magically competent and still disabled and that still affects their ability and they still get the dignity of risk #to choose whether to continue casting or not knowing the consequences of doing so #it is very much a fantastical disability which I flavored heavily off of chronic fatigue and a mobility disorder #in-game their skin became hard and brassy around their joints which make them difficult and painful to bend #they lose a lot of sensation and fine motor control #thankfully they have a lot of money from their adventuring so they can commission an accessible house and mobility aids #and their friends help take care of them

adopted a guy at my school cuz he plays sin, apparently, and I play ky. But then his friends are like "You're my dad, too!" and so I have 3 kids now

There comes a point eventually, as you get older, where it sort of flips and now you ARE the oldest one and all these young people jokingly call you dad/mom/parent and it's super funny but also kinda like "damn, I'm old" rofl

Anyway. Congrats on the adopted children, Ky

#asks #This happened to me a lot in high school because I was taller than everyone and didn't put up with peoples' shit #So I just seemed like an adult more than anyone else and kept getting put into leadership roles against my will lmfao #All while being like... 15 #Like girl help I can't even drive yet I am going to Lord of the Flies post-timeskip this classroom #High school was hell. Every day I am grateful I am no longer in Child Prison

gilmore girls is a show about a hardworking teenage girl with a passive personality and good grades being told she is special and has something other people don't so much that she internalised it and can't let go of that self image,

gilmore girls is about a hard working teenage girl with a passive personality and good grades turning into a woman who believes she should be allowed everything she wants (including people's husbands) and is continuously told she still has all the potential she did when she was a child, while she actively refuses to change.

and i think that's kind of cool, bc as far as i'm aware it's accidental. like the writers accidentally wrote the masterpiece of a modern day smalltown tragedy. it's so realistic as well, the downfall is so human. rory gilmore is truly THE WORST and that's kind of cool .

#the consequences of her actions aren't real to her because everyone loves her so much they can't ever dream of giving consequences. #she gets criticism once and suddenly her whole world burns down and so does everyone else's. #she is entitled and privileged and selfish and nïave and never learns from any of her mistakes. #and i think her not learning from her mistakes probably stems from the fact that everyone fixed them for her or told her they were alright #when she was younger. so when she's older she doesn't even try to learn from them because how can she. she doesn't know and never did. #no one ever let her. they doomed her. her environment doomed her. and that's really interesting to me. #her circumstances put her on a downward path and she just kept walking in that direction #I hate her so much lol #gilmore girls #bee.post #rory gilmore

Thinking back to the parking lot conversation I had with my coworker after I fully broke down and told her everything that has been going on at home and how I feel so fucking trapped because I can’t afford to leave and she compared it to intimate partner violence and it just. Sank in in a way that it hadn’t before. Like when my therapist told me to imagine if somebody treated the girl I babysit the way I was treated, would I think that was something to brush off or would I immediately report it? Just. Having somebody force you to view your struggles from another perspective is so powerful.

#to be clear I am not in any physical danger at home #it’s just psychological danger that I’ve been desensitized to and kept telling myself it wasn’t that bad #and that I should be grateful it wasn’t worse because I *could* be in physical danger #and was lucky enough not to be #I *could* have been kicked out and had to resort to living in my car #but I wasn’t #instead I’m told I’m welcome to stay and then guilt tripped over staying #get called lazy when I don’t do everything for everyone else and selfish the second I do anything for myself #I just can’t do it anymore #that’s only the tip of the iceberg but enough is enough #and I am scared shitless about how I’m going to manage it financially #but I have to move out it’s no longer just a want it is a necessity #eldest daughter syndrome
