Thaniel was my friend also. I played with him, grew up while he stayed the same. He made me who I am today, and then he was ripped away from me, same as for you. But you need not be alone any longer. You need not invent friends. Thaniel is back. He is waiting for you.

Have you ever watched the devil wears Prada? There's something about machete that really reminds me of Miranda, and it really does make me think that a top position at a magazine or museum, or even as an academic would make a lot of sense in the modern!au. (Would be funny if he was an early modernist cultural/art historian or specialising in religious iconography from the canon period?)

Machete has been compared to Miranda a handful of times over the years, but I had never seen the movie until a couple of months ago. And now I kind of get what they might've meant by that.

#I've never had any particularly strong feelings about Meryl Streep but she was excellent here #she's a lot more compelling when she's allowed to be a little unlikable #answered #anonymous #Miranda is clearly on top of her game professionally she is treated as a force of nature #but behind the scenes her personal life is falling apart #I thought that was sort of similar to what I'm trying to do with Machete #I still haven't decided what he's supposed to do for a living I'm sorry #modern au #Miranda is more purposefully mean I'd say #Machete is strict and icy and hard to please to an intimidating degree but I like to think he's at least fair #he wouldn't bully his employees just - idk for fun? to assert authority? #in canon that's what his mentor was like and he's giving a valid effort at trying to avoid becoming like him

ive never liked powerless saiki aus because the entire conclusion of the series is him accepting his powers as being a part of him that he cant change so like.. in aus where the power remover works, half of his development is erased..

if he had been "powerless" for longer, we wouldve gotten to see him realize this himself and im genuinely sad that we didnt.. we got to see him realize that being powerless wasnt the change he wished it would be and that its something he cant change, but its literally over a two day long period and we miss out on sooo much potential development..

and then in aus where hes born powerless, people think he would have the exact personality and development that he THOUGHT he would if he got rid of/didnt have his powers, like NO ? "without powers he would be another satou-" NO he would be a shy, borderline flamboyant, weird, awkward, genius LOSER.

he would have a more normal relationship with his brother (still probably competitive but in a way more average sibling way and kusuke wouldnt have had the motivation to become so murderous) and he would probably be even more friendless but with less trauma.. he may or may not have ever befriended akechi at all, and the classroom incident wouldnt have happened.. even some of his current friends might not be around if not for coincidences due to his powers or direct involvement from his powers.. (nendo and kaido would for sure still be there though, but this only ensures the idea that he would be the biggest fcking loser ever)

he would still be saiki, but. his powers are a key part of him. he would be totally different without them, but NOT in the way he thinks he would..

#also realistically he would be just as much of a stubborn asshole tsundere without his powers cmon #like yea his anxiety might present itself more as shyness than it does in canon him #but hes still an awkward stubborn asshole tsundere like thats just who the guy is #hes extra shy and maybe extra cute without his abilities to make people not find him cute #and is also like extremely ditzy and clumsy like he is in canon but its more visible to people because he doesnt have the powers to hide it #idk the point is his little quirks he thinks he wouldnt have would still be there but he wouldnt have the same faux justifications for them #need canon saiki to see an alternate universe him where he was born powerless #and hes like 'wow im going to see my ideal average me!' #and then au him is some super quirky ditzy clumsy kid with severe anxiety and also dysphoria #and he doesnt have powers to avoid being bullied like we see him do multiple times #this guy doesnt realize he will always be a loser no matter what #he loses key parts of himself and doesnt even realize that a lot of the parts left behind are still parts of himself that he hates #i know a lot of people think he would be much less jaded powerless which i get but #a lot of aspects of his personality that have less to do with his powers are a lot of the parts that he doesnt like and gets made fun of fo #so he would probably only be slightly less jaded and his awkwardness would just weigh it out a little more #though its hard to pinpoint exactly which aspects of him are only due to his powers #a lot of them are but i personally think those specific key personality traits would remain #anyway i would love to see what his relationship with his family would be like if he was born powerless #and i want to know who his friends would be #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuo #meows post

is it really an authentic r&m dynamic if it doesn't involve (at least mildly) morally questionable preservation tactics

#rick and morty #rick sanchez #morty smith #v37 #y4441 #rick and morty ocs #anytime morty asks about his jacked up arm or his face scar rick tries to change the subject #but ermmm sometimes it doesnt work. and sometimes it escalates. and sometimes rick thinks he has to use the mindblower #(in general y4441 is sentimental and keeps trinkets and shit. these memories are like the only exception. he immediatelly clears the device #rick loves morty a lot but hes terrified of retraumatizing him so his solution is to just... avoid any and all discussion of the topic. #morty likes rick. but well its kinda hard to trust him when he keeps dodging questions about his past #also.... y4441s tech is like.

Robbing the Royal Treasury

↳ Esteban in "King of the Carnaval" vs. Elena in "Royal Treasury Escape Room" (Scepter Training with Zuzo)

#elena of avalor #elena castillo flores #esteban flores #chancellor esteban #i've been thinking about this parallel ever since i watched this short #surprisingly there aren't as many direct parallels as you might think #but that's cause “something i would never do” is like twice the runtime of the short #and esteban is so both much more efficient and much more extra than elena #and elena only has to steal one thing as opposed to all the things #and she does so without having an existential crisis the way her cousin did #honestly elena may have hated ballet but it clearly paid off cause she's very graceful in this #not as graceful as esteban but still elena did some lovely chainé turns to avoid the purple smoke #of course it doesn't last and she makes a big old mess #but still elena did a better job than i remembered and she should be recognized for that #ngl i think a lot about the fact that the characters who have canonically stolen elena's mother's crown from the treasury are: #1. esteban ; 2. elena; 3. shuriki; 4. flo (in a different short) #'one of these things is not like the others; one of these things doesn't belong. can you tell which thing is not like the others?' #and flo had the easiest time of it (but left the biggest mess) #mygifs #disneyedit #eoaedit

The trans experience of getting lucky with a new primary care provider who doesn't care about your transness or transition so long as you're getting the proper care

Manifesting this for every trans person because I finally felt like a normal human being going to a doctor

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #i have avoided doctors for like... four years now because of how awful they are toward trans people 🤩 (sarcastic star-eyes emoji) #i thought i didn't have anxiety anymore until i made a first appointment with this new primary care provider i have... #...and when they were doing my vitals and got to the blood pressure screen i was shaking (which i normally am tbf) #i will be fair and say i have had more negative experiences with mental health providers though #but since i've avoided doctor-doctors i haven't had the time TO have negative experiences #my dad was actually really kind and asked if my doctor tried being transphobic and i realized... NO! he didn't even try! #my dad's first question was if dr. [redacted] tried to talk me out of testosterone and i was like shit... no he didn't!! #and i felt like a normal person seeing the doctor albeit with a lot of anxiety but i was treated normally :) #it feels SO nice after feeling like a lab rat or like in the movies where a psychiatrist comes out to explain what transsexuality #explain what transsexuality is*

Prompt 61

Hear me out, three-way crossover between LOZ, DP & DC

 Like, Link was very much dead before they put him in the restoration pool, and he’s practically haunted by the ghosts of his friends. Given abilities from them even, or would it be they’re teaching him some abilities. What I’m saying is halfa Link, but the whole Malice issue is blocking him or any other ghost from getting to the ghost zone, meaning most ghosts only have one or two abilities up until Ganon is defeated. 

 And then there’s a sudden influx of a bunch of ghosts finally getting the ecto they need or even just being able to leave for more peace in the ghost zone! Which also means a certain time ghost can finally look into that world again too- even if it’s a headache with how many timelines allow for timeloops and timetravel- which means that hey, his favorite halfa can have a friend! 

 A friend who can teach him how to fight in exchange for halfa lessons! Danny is so excited, and honestly his friends are also down for visiting this equally feral teen-elf-dude. 

 The thing is, people should not have left them to practice portals alone, and now they have ended up in another universe. Um. Oops? Oh hey there’s another sort-of-younger and sort-of-older halfa whose all sick like Link was! They should fix that while they’re here! 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #lozxdp #lozxdpxdc #loz #legend of zelda #legend of zelda breath of the wild #botw #prompts #Clockwork is teaching them how to ghost #they're his ghostlings #he has a love-hate relationship with the LOZ worlds #Most of their time travelling is stable so great but all the timeloops is a lot of paperwork #Y'know what he's going to use this to his advantage #He now has *two* whole apprentices #They weren't exactly told Not to practice portals alone #Well more like they weren't told that they shouldn't both practice at once #Jason is very bemused by a pair of tiny elf children following him #And how do they keep avoiding everyone else?? #Bonus points on if Danny has pointy ears and fangs in human form too #Link and Danny feed each others gremlin shenanigans #all the hyrulians are freaking out about their hero & the foreign prince disappearing #Danny is ghost prince not via Pariah Dark but through Clockwork #They were getting a divorce when he was sealed away but technically never finished so #Clockwork is acting ghost queen now that there's an heir #He's not happy they ended up in *That* world #danny fenton #link #jason todd #halfa jason

related ramble: genuinely if the part of decked out that appeals to you is "incremental progress in which the players must learn the map bit by little bit and also understand when to turn around and bail to learn more of the map later in another run", you don't mind games that are hard, and you like rpgs. please play etrian odyssey. please they're such good games and no one ever talks about them. please,

#they're largely ds and 3ds games HOWEVER the first 3 were remastered for switch! making them EVEN MORE ACCESSIBLE! #i will warn you the games are slightly notoriously punishing but the recent remasters DO add difficulty settings #which means you can avoid some of the more notoriously punishing aspects #AND THE ART STYLE IS SO GOOD. AND THE /MUSIC/ #the aesthetics of etrian odyssey are some of my favorite video game aesthetics they're so NICE #so i am now using my 10k followers to try to convince One Other Person to play my pet rpg series. #my one warning is that if you play rpgs for the story. etrian odyssey expects you to make up a lot of the characters in your head #and tells you the bare bones of a story in second person #which isn't to say that's BAD; it's really good i get attached to my party of five ocs really fast #it's just if you're used to jrpgs you WILL go in and go 'wehre. is the plot.' #its there! the games just expect you to make up much of it! and it's great! #my point is: if you're going 'huh i might like dungeon crawlers' CHECK THEM OUT

Roxas: Had the Halloween town kids throw bombs in his face for multiple missions in a row before finally breaking down and smacking them around a bit.

Ventus: The dwarves were rude and refused to talk to him, immediately resorted to chasing them down and whacking them.

Characterization I see frequently: Ah, yes, Roxas is the one always willing to throw hands and Ventus is a smol sunshine boy.

#kh #kingdom hearts #these are really silly examples but the point stands! #in fact I think it expands when you look at their full screen-time #I am once again begging people to watch a full let's play of Days #don't get me wrong Ventus IS brightness and sunshine #but he also has the energy of a chihuahua ready to fight the world and I will stand by that #where as Roxas will tend to just try to avoid it until he Very Much Can't #now I think Roxas does BITTERNESS better than Ventus or Sora #but bitterness is not temper #in fact bitterness is usually negative emotions left on the backburner until the resentment caves in on itself #I suppose this is up to interpretation but from my reading... #a lot of times Ventus seems to burn out his anger then let it go #whereas Roxas doesn't do anything with the emotions until he/the situation self-destructs catastrophically so it ends up being nastier #but on the day-to-day? #yeah no Ventus is going to be the one reacting first #you can also exchange Sora for Ventus for some of these arguments #though I think he lands somewhere between Ventus and Roxas for short-temperedness #all this is more complicated than this reductive commentary of course #you have to take in how and in what orders the characters were introduced and marketed #the difficulty of getting the handheld games historically and the biases that set in before they were easily accessed #not to mention stock archetypes for fandom joke set-ups that then perpetuate the characterization... #like there's a LOT to how this came to be #but it Gets To Me sometimes #yza talks about a thing

URGENT move out mutual aid request for black queer muslim girl - pls dont ignore!

I know y’all are sick of me but this is a bittersweet mutual aid request and I need community to rlly come thru for me bc Im in a really tough time crunch.

As some of yall know, I lost my job a month and a half ago, but this Friday I accepted a new job offer but I do not start til June 13th and so I will not be paid until the end of the month when my lease ends.

My lease ends July 1 and I need to raise about $2400 to move out before then in order to pay for 1st and security on an apartment.

Losing my job in April threw me severely off course and the $ I had saved to move out of my current (super shitty pest infested) apt was used on top of mutual aid to pay outstanding bills and for essential living items. 

If y’all could find it in your hearts to help me out one last time it’d mean the world to me. I always try my best to return the kindness that has been shown to me and I am extremely grateful for the help I did recieve during this difficult time.

I am also a painter and can take commissions through my website if you wish to have something tangible for your donation.

#im sorry yall but i will be spamming this #like i was hoping to have a sooner start date but these jobs be making you interview 1237992739 times nowadays #so i cant fund my own move out bc the timeframe doesnt allow #and me staying somewhere temporarily is more money out of my pocket and would end up taking me at least 2 months more to save #and i really just want to be settled in a home #living in this apartment has been hell #this last month has been hell #so i need some help getting pulled out of it #but hopefully this will be my last mutual aid request #this job is a lot more dependable than my last #i was trying to avoid doing this but i simply need help and have to ask one last time

that post that's like "learning social skills helps with social anxiety" applies to dating also btw

#i guess they have a circular relationship because also going on lots of first dates was really trial by fire for me in learning lots lf #new social skills #meeting new people was never my strong suit and i was very afraid of it and would avoid it but like! #when i first tried going on first dates i learned a lot about how to meet people and met types of queer people i'd never met before #and actually it was good for me even though it was often weird and stressful #and it was a lower-stakes way to practice social skills that i otherwise would've just avoided using until they atrophied #anyway whenever i see a dating profile that's like 'i'm afraid of talking to women lol' i'm like ok relatable but what's your plan to learn #i think also just like it doesn't have to be through dating but it is good for you to meet other gay and trans people offline if possible #when i moved to wisconsin i only knew my coworkers who were mostly also twentysomethings who'd been hired straight from college #and it was good for me to meet and make friends with other local gay and trans people who were involved in different stuff #idk i just don't know how many more 'i'm obsessed with romance but scoff at the idea that i should do anything about that' posts i can read #like if i said i wanted to run a marathon but i never practiced running people would fairly be like okay that's prob not gonna happen #idk i know it's no skin off my nose i'm just like. if you never take any steps towards expressing your desires #how do you think they're going to just happen to you #personal nonsense

Actually laughing so hard, Pav truly is a poor little meow meow, doomed by the narrative, 100% asshole, fuck your redemption you bitch

#anyway *continued making my lil comic where he does get redeemed* #I do appreciate that Miro seems to avoid more complex fanwork if only to keep it from his own vision #really that’s SUCH a good thing to do (especially for legal reasons) and not a lot of indie creators know to do that #but it also just makes me more comfortable delving into a fan world w/o the fear of accidentally insulting or affecting the original writer #I love miro’s world and want to see more of his vision even if it doesn’t match with my theories and headcanons #but I also love my theories and headcanons and wanna play with them as much as possible #best way to do that is for creators to NEVER SEE ME PLEASE #IM SORRY WHEN YOU GIVE ME A LOSER LIKE PAV IM GONNA HIT HIM WITH THE GOOD GUY BEAM ITS NOT YOU ITS ME #anyway here’s hoping we see more asshole pav in the future because umm yes please 🤲🏽 #fear and hunger #fear and hunger termina #fh pav #art #I guess #barely #more like me going on an adhd ramble and the art’s just kinda there

So lemme tell you a secret

Most people you meet in a day are at least a little conflict averse. Most people do not want to make a scene

People who know this and are not averse to making a scene can become fucking unstoppable, and many of them use this power for evil

You can stop them in their goddamn tracks about 55% of the time by doing your best impression of someone who is not conflict averse

If someone comes up to you and you have any feeling they wanna give you a bad time, do not greet them quietly

Greet them loudly, as loudly as they greet you if not a little louder

This tells them they can’t make you back down or give in on the threat of drawing attention; a good chunk of the time, they will not want attention themselves if you’re the one drawing it

You don’t need to be confrontational or aggressive; just turn, greet them as normal, and up the volume just enough to show you’re not hiding or scared of loud noises

(This does not need to be true so long as you fake it well)

Note: this is not a guarantee, but honestly if they were gonna give you a hard time and draw attention they were probably gonna do that anyway

Stay cool, stay polite, and don’t let them intimidate you into whispering to avoid creating a scene. If they wanna make a scene, let them play the villain

#social hacks #conflict avoidance #it solves so much if you just. don’t whisper #makes you seem much more powerful than you might be #ymmv #as always #but it works for me real good #the kind of person who starts an interaction thinking they can step on you tend to shut right up if you aren’t quiet #it’s like fake confidence #i’m like moderate conflict averse (never trouble for the service folks) but all my friends are SUPER conflict averse #so i have been dragooned into it #and yeah this saves a lot of time #just keep in your heart that if they say ‘or what’ or ‘what’ll you do about it’ #the correct answer is a blank look like they’re fucking insane and a gentle ‘judge you along with everyone else in this room’ #even if they misbehave 10/10 you are automatically the adult
