#i prefer them being friends

[kittenfangirl20]

Nineteen year old Eren looks really shocked by how innocent and naive he truly was when he was ten years, life really fucked with the poor guy. I really want to give both ten year old Eren and nineteen year old Eren a hug.

hate that I have to clarify whenever I think of two characters as having a powerful and purely platonic bond as "just friends". like I have to say that but they are not "just" anything.

did you hear me. I said they are friends. not brothers or siblings or maternal or paternal or any other familially-defined relationship. they are friends!!! do you know how powerful that is??? they! are! friends!!! they are FRIENDS

#storyrambles #random #how i feel about leorio and kurapika towards gon tbh #also odasaku and dazai... i'm more apt to accept the idea of romantic feelings than i am 'brothers' or 'fatherly' - it's just not them #but usually i prefer it platonic #even kyouka and atsushi are like this to me #i don't really see them as big brother younger sister tbh #they're friends :) #also killua and gon definitely have quite a bit of romantic hinting going on there (i personally am willing to bat for it being intentional #but at this stage their friendship is the most important thing!!! and i honestly believe it will remain the most important thing! #do you think any kind of lasting romance isn't founded on strong friendship??????

One thing I really want to see happen in Season 4...

Valdo Marx: Nice to see you again, Joseph!

Jaskier: *Heavy sigh* That's -

Yarpen: *Stepping in front of him protectively.* Julian Alfred Pankratz to you, you dying sounding beached whale! Only his friends call him Joseph!

Jaskier: Ah, actually, that's Jaskier.

Yarpen: *Dismissively.* Yeah, I KNOW.

Jaskier: *Getting all teary eyed.* I know you do.

#The Witcher #Jaskier #Yarpen Zigrin #Their friendship is legendary #Valdo Marx #Their rivalry is a legendary #Does Valdo know Jaskier is a honorary member of a fierce dwarven mercenary company yet? #No but seriously I kind of headcanon that the reason Yarpen is so pissed at continuously being reminded that Jaskier's named #Julian Alfred Pankratz #Is because he noticed that Geralt and even Yennefer were calling him “Jaskier” #While Jaskier introduced himself to Yarpen using his whole freaking name! #Jaskier just wanted to be respectful and polite #Yarpen took it as a desire to put some emotional distance between them and imply he hadn't earned the right to call him by his #Chosen / preferred named #And then despite all they went through together on that mountain and claiming to be a friend #Jaskier still continues to insist on introducing himself using his full bloody name! #Like what does a dwarf have to do to get some familiarity and recognition of kinship from that bloody bard? #But then Jaskier puts his life on the line to help Yarpen's men... #And Yarpen realizes that Jaskier cares enough to take an arrow to the back (or to the lute at least) to keep them safe.. #He's not a warrior that revels in the rush of battle! #He's just a scared bard rushing headfirst into the fray just because he wants to help any injured dwarves #Even if that means potentially sacrificing himself... #So maybe human customs are weird... #Maybe Jaskier has been waiting for *HIM* to start calling him “Jaskier” and officially signal the start of a friendship... #Maybe that formal introduction wasn't a slight on Jaskier's part and that overgrown puppy of a bard has been waiting for Yarpen to finally #adopt him like an idiot! #And so Yarpen chooses to skip the formalities and go straight for “thank you JASKIER” to make it clear that he does consider him a friend.. #My Posts #My thoughts #In tags form

"i happened to not find this character very interesting or likeable" doesn't automatically mean they're an objectively bland and boring character it just means you have a personal opinion

#jane is a very nuanced character who suffers from both violent childhood trauma and grooming #she's a clumsy teenager still trying to navigate her friendships and social life with her other clumsy teenager friends #and she's not great at it all the time and neither are they but she still cares about them! that's an interesting character concept! #again you don't have to find her interesting if that's not your preference. but that doesn't mean everyone feels the same way #also she is more similar to the fandom's most specialest boy (dave) than a lot of people realize but she's a Girl so she's not allowed to #be treated or viewed in the same ways as him. but i won't get into it #now. if you want to argue that her character arc got cut short and didn't really amount to much? that's a valid argument to make + i can #see how that might make people like her less. but it's less of her being a bland character and more ''uh oh the story had to end'' flavor #of weird act 6 writing that a lot of characters got shafted with #tldr you're allowed to not like jane but don't be surprised when other people do <3

[vaxxman]

I have so much brainrot about Medic's wife, specifically the design from the comic doodles that Makani drew, I'm so ready to draw a whole comic about her, man I love hallucinating.

#60 seconds till mission begins rambles #But also I have so many things to do I could cry #I don't like engaging in fights about which ships are valid in the eyes of canon etc #I've seen many people try to ignore medic's wife's potential existence because it would invalidate the possibility of him being gay #insisting the doodles were drawn before Makani joined Valve; and Demo's domination line just being gibberish etc etc #That's sad to me because I think she's a REALLY cool character and I cry about her never ever coming to the official material #So listen to me; headcanon; what about #He's bisexual (and discovers he has a preference for men) #boom #we win🏳‍🌈 #also the doodles where his wife appears are the same doodles where he's smooching heavy so why are you only reading half of the scriptures? #I'm just foaming at the mouth about the idea of Medic having a female best friend who he married and who understands him in a different way #I just like the idea of both of them being opportunistic and marrying for the societal benefits a marriage gave you back in the days #and like being the only other person to have enough blackmail material on the other #Ok no I cant talk more about this I'll give away the entire story I have in my head

[wataeicentric]

I feel as though people (mostly people who aren't insanely wataeipilled, or involved with shipping in general) are misunderstanding what we're upset about. It's not the simple assumption that we want wataei to be "canon" and that we're upset that that can't happen because of Eichi getting married, it's that HappyEle have been on a character assassination spree recently (Izumi in Mad Party & Kohaku in Last Mission) and we're worried that's going to happen to Wataru and/or Eichi. Regardless of shipping, Eichi never told Wataru, who's supposed to be his "best friend" that he's essentially been engaged to Tori's sister for the best part of a year. If Wataru isn't upset about this, then they've done it once again, because Wataru trusts Eichi to take his mask off around him; whilst the mask is "him", the "mask's purpose" (the title of his card in EP:Link) is to hide oneself. Wataru took it off for EICHI and Eichi ALONE. He put himself on display, allowed his facade to begin to fade around him and be his authentic "self" and opened himself up to possibly even be hurt (which he was immediately, by the way, and CRIED over it. HIBIKI WATARU. CRIED. Because Eichi was indifferent to his confession of love) because he trusts Eichi, and Eichi's told Wataru before (Tempest) that he also trusts him. So, is it or is it not blatant character assassination, and possibly even going back on their more recent development of becoming more honest with each other, if Wataru is not upset with this development?

#Question isn't rhetoric btw I'm open to people disagreeing with me #wataei #eichi tenshouin #tenshouin eichi #wataru hibiki #hibiki wataru #enstars #I hope I don't sound absolutely insane here #i constantly doubt what I'm talking about whenever i talk about them because i'm terrified of being wrong #i personally think that akira will take the story in a preferable direction but we're not wrong for expecting the worst #considering how completely bastardised Izumi's character was in mad party #and how little Kohaku's emotions were payed attention in Last Mission #It's not completely out of nowhere to say 'wataei in atlantis' could possibly be the next on the list #however i sincerely hope they're not #i'd also like to mention how most of us just wanted the story to be about fine reflecting on their development as a unit and as friends #much like crazy:b's and ra*bits' climax events #and some may also be upset that that's not the case #not me personally but something i've heard #valentine's rambles

If you tracked my eye activity on that bliss promo pic with the tops it would be something like this

Making a major stop at topper

Before crashing into a ditch (yakuya corner)

#i'm having a moment. the only time i'll ever see these two standing next to each other is in a promotional pic for the sfw game version #FOR SERIOUS i was weirded out by this combination of characters in one pic when i first saw it #i was like oh?? they doing a random assortment now? i mean sure! yeah! i guess! spice it up they look great!! #then someone pointed out that this was Tops Only #then showed me the corresponding picture of Bottoms Only #and i felt my eyebrow raise sharply #OOOH.... i didn't even consider... right.... top bottom segregation #(reality does not occur to me. i see them all through switch-coloured lenses and thus ignore information inconvenient to my preference) #then i started thinking more about the . idea of it. that the tops are in a bar's hidden back room with mafia boss dante #and the bottoms are hanging out in the airy beautiful atrium of pure white snow and lilting piano music #tops are like WELCOME TO THE LIONS DEN and bottoms are like HEY COME INTO THE AVIARY AND SIT WITH US 🥰 #i dwelt on the fact that i was weirded out by yakumo in this group #and it made me think about how..... yakumo would be scared of all the other tops #all of them are INTIMIDATION 100 to hiim #so i imagine after you get him to pose for this shot with everyone. and the business is done #yakumo will quickly retreat to the room with the bottoms (where all his friends are) #blade being the adaptable little creature he is will be like OH COOL ARE YOU GOING TO SEE THE OTHERS?? #I WANT TO SEE THE OTHERS TOO!! MORE FRIENDS!! LET'S GO TOGETHER n_n *links arms* *DRAGS everyone else out of the room* #imagining yaku being first ushered into this dark room with kuya dante and quincy #and he's just nervously glancing at topper for reassurance that there's no danger #just trembling and thinking about how he wants his emotional support wolf/vice captain/priest/earring twin senpai #no yakumo. i wanted you to mingle. and you shall mingle #wear matching outfits with your fellow Tops and (topp) until you build trust and reduce their Intimidation Factors #quincy #blade #dante #yakumo #kuya

Any lovely witchy friends out there have advice for reaching out to a deity?

#personal #been a practising witch for a long time but never really thought about having a patron #but more and more recently i feel a pull towards some specific beings. ive been making some small offerings in the form of crafts #related to their imagery and totem style representations but i havent actually attempted to contact them #or open any direct channels of communication. and as ive never had a patron deity before im not sure how to start that process #how to transition from a solo practice to a more collaborative participation #so any advice is much appreciated! feel free to dm if your suggestions might be more personal or longer than a reply #i only know a few other witches in real life and i dont think any of them deal with deities either so id love to make some friends #who also practice too i think its really good to learn this stuff from real people and not only internet stuff #bc internet stuff especially in regards to witchery can be bs at best and straight up racist and culturally appropriating at worse #and genuinely dangerous at worst for inexperienced practicers so i do prefer knowledge from other real humanoids when possible #witchcraft #witchblr

ngl... one of the scenes that stuck in my head the most during wano arc was law just having an inner monologue where he slowly develops understanding and respect for zoro. like, during dressrosa, he didn't really know him that well but despite this, zoro still invited him for a drink together. bUT LIKE WANO... WANO ARC HITS DIFFERENT.

its the way that the battle above (???) was the first time law truly knew the extent to which zoro would sacrifice himself for luffy. at first, he mostly just saw him as a vice captain whose as stupid (and a drunkard) as his captain but its that fight in onigashima that set his records straight. its the way that zoro stepped in to protect the rest of the worst generation despite him not being close to them. its the way that zoro continues to contribute to the fight despite his bones having been broken already. its the way that law stares at zoro in total awe as he wonders how zoro is able to pull such a stunt despite his worsening condition. and i believe that it was then he realized zoros pride, ambition n loyalty which pushes him to constantly support luffy in whatever way he can. its the fact that law saw and showed his care for zoro by suggesting that they retreat. however, zoros pride and loyalty towards luffy is an impenetrable force that he cannot break through. it was zoros sheer determination that made him able to make kaido bleed.

nothing like a good dose of lawzo dynamic to end the day 🙏

#i think about them a lot #law unknowingly being smitten #zoro being zoro #zoro unknowingly being attractive #i love them #law should just confess and get it over with #the inner monologue is so law core #law coded #me when im trying to process a new crush #zoro always pushing himself to the limit #if there was a grammy award for character whose not afraid of death n prefers to die alongside his friends #zoro would be the winner #roronoa zoro #trafalgar law #one piece #i havent been here in a while #whoops #sorry

Having friends who hate lord of the flies as a fan of the book is so funny sometimes because they’ll talk about the book as if it’s the worst thing in the world and go on about how it’s the worst book they’ve ever read while I’m just there like

#lord of the flies #lotf #this actually happened today #I wa just having lunch with them #and my friend says she’s now reading the book #my 2 other friends who are in the same English class as me then go off about how much they hate the book #saying it’s awful and that it’s the worst book they’ve ever read in the entirety of high school #and as a fan #I’m just there like 😮 #Jesus they really hate it 😅 #I don’t mind other people’s opinions and I do respect theirs #they don’t have to like it #besides I agree with some points like the boys being jerks at first and the ending being kind of underwhelming #I just find it funny how much they hate it XD #I prefer it over cats cradle honestly #now that was annoying to go through #I really don’t like that book :I #they don’t know I like it #because I keep it secret 🤫

Okay fuck it here we go it's been one minute. Pack Leader Rex AU time.

First off, it is not an AU where Rex is evil. It's more of a...I guess placement swap? Between VK and Rex. In this AU, VK was found and captured by Providence a year ago to study his nanite absorbing powers, and Rex started befriending and collecting EVO pals until they eventually formed the Pack, and found Abysus to be a place Providence would not enter.

So in this universe, Rex, Bobo (yes unfortunately he's there but he's MY version bc I refuse to look at him in canon), Biowulf, Breach and Skalamander are the original Pack members, people Rex picked up like he picked up the Hong Kong crew before. The fic idea does also start with them picking up Circe - so she remains as someone new to the Pack, trying to figure out her place. The Abysus castle becomes a safe house for all the EVOs they've picked up over the years - an actual community of incurables, with those that they can cure being returned via Breach portal to their families.

That's the general setup - really just, a swap. What makes the AU so exciting for me though is the character dynamic, I'm a sucker for Found Families with Barriers.

First off, Six and Holiday still work for Providence. They both still believe in a cure, and when Providence discovers this EVO that can cure people and is also seemingly amassing an army, they try to get their mitts on him and stop this threat in its track. Six ends up being the first Providence agent to make contact with Rex - and the first agent to realize this is a child they're dealing with, not a monster. Holiday knew this, already - but they have to work on figuring out ways to help out Rex and look out for this kid without jeapordizing their jobs. Six can't abandon White, and Holiday can't abandon Beverly. They're stuck having to earn Rex's trust (granted, not that difficult compared to earning the trust of other Pack members). White is in charge of Providence still (idk how his ass got bleached yet), and instead of blaming Rex for his divorce and seeing the kid as a threat bc of the giant robot bullshit, he sees him as a threat for the potential army bullshit. Ironically he's the one that treats Rex the most like an adult, because he assumes malice from the kid for a long time.

On the flip side, the Pack is very close. They're actually friends, unlike canon. Breach and Rex and Circe hang out a lot, Circe and Rex don't have the initially antagonistic part of their relationship, but Circe still thinks Rex is stupid for trusting people so easily. Breach and Rex just kind of play Minecraft in her pocket dimension sometimes and have talks, and Skalamander,,,,doesn't have a whole lot of stuff to work with in canon so I'm still figuring him out. But Biowulf is the closest thing to a "parent" of the Pack, and he's bad at it. More of an anxious dog that still refers to Rex as Master (as much as Rex hates it, tries to tell him not to), still worships the kid to a degree while Rex is constantly trying to get Biowulf to just. Chill out. Tell him about his worries and talk things out.

There's definitely also an arc in mind where Providence does capture Rex and Holiday and Six have to struggle to protect him the best they can while White tries to bargain with the kid and the Pack freaks out and tries to figure out how to break him out.

#genrex #generator rex #pack leader rex au #I don't. Fully know everything in this AU yet but I'm just brainstorming. Being Insane #Caesar doesn't actually change much in terms of initial dynamic from canon he just lands in the Abysus lab instead of Providence HQ #And gets suspicion by everyone esp Biowulf but welcomed in by Rex #Definitely some scenes though where Rex learns to trust Six and Holiday by them helping him when Providence isn't looking #The juiciness of. We cannot spend much time together bc opposite sides of a war. But we learn to care for each other. #And also the juiciness of Biowulf being just as dedicated to a Rex that clearly does not want that level of dedication #Who prefers Biowulf as a friend not a follower. But he saved Biowulf's life and gave him a home and Biowulf can't let that go #Something something boy and his dog only the dog can speak and wants to maul everyone who looks at his boy funny

the imposter syndrome i feel every time i even slightly think i might be autistic is insane, specially for a person who highly relates to the lived experiences of people who are professionally diagnosed.

Like I was just watching this one youtuber, and she was talking about very specific examples in her life and childhood where she saw autistic traits that made her realize she was autistic and then seek a diagnosis and then get one, and everything she was saying was like she was describing my life! But yeah no, I can't be autistic tho

#and one thing that has been filling me with dread (as if it was relevant lol) is the idea of seeking a diagnosis and #either not geting it because it's already so hard to find a diagnosis for '''''''women''''''' (afabs) #and that will make me doubt myself even more! but most importantly those around me who already don't believe me #but also i'm very scared about this one thing in particular which is the talking to your parents portion of the diagnosis #where the therapist will want to talk to people who knew me as a child... and that person will have to be my mom #and i'm pretty sure she will dismiss most signs. like she would either not bring them up because ''they're normal'' #or play them as less important than they were #or maybe she didn't even notice them! because most of my struggles are internal! #things like being bullied or having no friends or liking a routine #idk if she'll be able to talk about all those #because my bullying wasn't violent it was mostly dismissive #my ''friends'' weren't really friends like i didn't CARE for them as maybe someone would have #and also they would leave me for no reason at all out of the blue... so i don't think even THEY considered ME a friend #and liking routine i guess she could say i prefered it but she doesn't know to the extent i hated going off it #i'm sure she forgot about the time i cried (as a 10 year old so not THAT young) because they made us change classroom #and i didn't know that was gonna happen... it was added to the anxiety that i thought my mother wouldn't be able to find me #but like the unknown classroom traumatized me (to this day i get anxious just thinking about that) #like... all those things i don't think she would bring up (if she could even) and i fear that will make me not get a diagnosis #not that this is a thing that's gonna happen cause as i established i cannot afford a therapist nor i'll ever get a diagnosis i don't think #so like it's not relevant #but i am anxious about it nonetheless #angel talks #personal #idk what's my point with this post btw i'm just venting and creaming to the void #dkfjhgdfg

Thinking about how when baby Tails met little Sonic, and Sonic was so nice to and supportive and encouraging of him, and that was the first time in so long that anyone was nice to or actually liked Tails, and so an achievement was unlocked for Sonic: Miles Prower will now die for you.

And then a little while after that, when Tails tells Sonic that he's already got the best family, and that Sonic is his best family, and he loves and cares about Sonic more than anyone else, and so an achievement was unlocked for Tails: Sonic the Hedgehog will now die for you.

These brothers just love each other so much, I cry.

#sonic the hedgehog #miles tails prower #unbreakable bond #they need(ed) each other SO much #it's part of why I prefer not to write or read about conflict in their relationship #and instead prefer to have the conflict come from outside sources #Sonic and Tails have already both lost so so SO much #they don't need to lose each other too #at least not through any faults of their own #''best friends / brothers are suddenly enemies'' is such a tired boring awful trope #would much rather have it be Them vs The World #but that's just me #this wasn't inspired by anything specific i'm just thinking #(well the thought was bc of the Beyond Oblivion prequel i wrote) #(and how canon Tails was just as desperate for anything remotely resembling positive attention) #(and how canon Sonic gave that to him and that's why Tails latched on) #(but the rest is just musings springboarding off that) #but yeah like see also why I disliked the direction Supernatural seasons 4 & 5 took #why I never felt compelled to read Archie Sonic on top of there just being Too Much (bc I know Sonic & Tails have dumb split-up arcs in it) #etc #it's just not for me #it can be for others! that's fine. everyone has different tastes #but it's not for me #sth

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Hunter that’s just a lovesick mess around Willow and doesn’t know how to function, but I personally much more enjoy when Hunter and Willow are literally just. Besties. They banter and make jokes and are dumb, and every now and then the sun just hits Willows frame JUST right and Hunters breath gets taken away and he just stares in awe at how beautiful she is. Until Willow strikes a dumb pose and makes a comment about how she’s sorry that she distracted him with her beauty, and although he’s blushing up a storm from being caught, he laughs and shoves her face and says that he ACTUALLY got distracted by how dumb she looked.

Or when they go out for ice cream and Hunter cutely gets some stuck on the corner of his mouth and Willow momentarily daydreams about kissing it off all smooth like, until she grabs a fist full of napkins and shoves it in his face and makes a joke about him eating like a toddler.

Hunter and Willow are best friends that just so happen to have feelings for each other.

#the owl house #toh #huntlow #toh hunter #Willow park #and this is how they’re gonna be portarayed pretty much any time I write them #bc I LOVVVEEEE besties to lovers #i do VERY MUCH love hot mess!hunter tho #or even hot mess!willow!!! that’s a GOOD ONE #but I’ll always prefer them pining while being stupid friends
