#it’s just a vicious cycle at this point

[danikamariewrites]

Hi how have you been

Can I make request for Nesta? Just her being very protective of her innocent gf who is too nice to people and does not know when she is being used and manipulated (so relatable) so nesta always needs to be with her to make sure she doesn’t get taken advantage of

Best Friends Forever

Nesta x reader

A/n: I would kill for a protective gf like Nes. She also gives scary gf privileges. I also could’ve used her to weed out my shitty friends because I was so bad at that.

Warnings: none

Nesta had sworn you were supposed to be out with your friends. She had sworn she heard you tell Gwyn over morning tea, excitedly for that matter, about your plans. So when she arrived home later that afternoon Nesta was confused as to why you were home.

You were curled up on the couch, your favorite fluffy blanket wrapped around your body, with a book in hand. Nesta didn’t ask why. You already had a frown on your face, Nesta didn’t want to upset you anymore.

Weeks went by. Nesta watched as the vicious cycle continued. Your friends promising to hang out with you and then canceling or straight up telling you, “oh, so-and-so will be there and you don’t like each other, so you shouldn’t come out.” You put on a brave face, acting like it didn’t bother you.

It did. Nesta knew it did. The problem, besides your “friends”, was that Nesta didn’t know how to help. She wanted to be mean to your friends. Hell, she wanted to throttle them. The Valkyrie has been protective of you since the day she met you. The fact that you’re being treated so poorly drove her crazy.

You had finally broached the subject, telling Nesta how you felt and that you would talk to them. Of course this conversation came mere weeks before Starfall. Just in time for them to get back in your good graces to go to the party at the River House.

It’s been days since your conversation with your friends. “It went well,” you said joyfully as you strolled along the bridge above the Sidra, hand-in-hand with Nesta. “That’s good.” Nesta said, not fully believing either of your words.

The two of you chatted about any and everything as you explored town. Passing by a restaurant’s patio seating you hear familiar laughter that has you stopping dead in your tracks. Nesta didn’t need to ask you who it was. She knew and she was fuming.

Looking down at you she felt her face heat with anger. Your lips turned down in a small, heartbreaking frown, defeat clouding your eyes. “I asked if we could hang out today.” Your voice came out small. That was Nesta’s breaking point.

Dropping your hand she smoothed down the bodice of her dress to her skirt, taking a long inhale and letting out a long exhale. She turns to face you, gently holding your shoulders. “Why don’t you go into that shop over there,” she points over your shoulder, “and pick out something you want.” Nesta smiles at you softly. You don’t have it in you to argue. Your friends deserved whatever tongue lashing Nesta would give them and you weren’t going to stop your girlfriend.

Nesta stomped over to the table of females, casting a dark shadow as she stared down her nose at them. Those silver flames burning bright in her gray eyes. They all stopped to look at her. The scent of their on her tongue. It was no secret they were never comfortable around the oldest Archeron. Which made Nesta’s job here easier.

“You are the most wretched group of females I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. At least some of the fae here are honest about getting into Rhysand’s good graces but you. You lot just lie and use y/n. She is the last person who deserves to be used. Now I could point out other flaws you all have but that would include me standing here and speaking to you longer than you should have the privilege of. Stay away from y/n, my sister, and the High Lord. Or I won’t be so nice next time.”

Before they could have a reaction Nesta briskly turned on her heel and walked away. Entering the shop she sent you to she found you lurking by a clothing rack by the front window. You immediately ran to her, hugging her tightly around her middle and burying your face in her chest. “Thank you.” You mumble against her.

Nesta squeezed you tighter to her, kissing the top of your head. “Of course my love.” You stayed like that for a few more moments before Nesta spoke again. “I’m interviewing all future friends.” You let out a small laugh in answer. “Deal. But on one condition.” You lean away and meet her curious gaze. “You’re my only best friend.” Nesta pecked your lips, holding your face in her hands. “Always and forever, my love.”

This is gonna sound very weird but I hope as we go on with the show you won't stop making posts about how much you love Ming's toxic ass cause they make me laugh and I'll need them when in the future I'll feel the urge to somehow strangle Ming through the screen. No pressure but please help a girl in need if you can!

You're writing to the person who is openly praying that Ming gets worse (amen), so I am not one to call others weird.

Something about those who live in a glass house shouldn't throw stones, you know?

Because, once again, I want Ming to be awful to Joe, and only Joe, which I know is kind of weird of me, but I'm just too happy to care.

A few people have commented that Ming will get worse, and I'm giddy from the mere thought of it, so I'll be here all season being unhealthy about Ming's behavior.

Because in the first episode, he was awful, which I LOVED, and I don't think some people really see just how bad he was simply because he is being played by Up, which was a brilliant move by casting, so I love that the show directly told us he is a nightmare, and we could judge all his actions accordingly.

Regardless of Tong's fake personality, Ming just showed up at the set without any warning and ambushed Tong at his job

Ming only wants to eat alone with Tong, and it's of course because he likes Tong, but he even hung up on his sister mid-conversation after she threw him a little welcome back surprise (sidenote: I think he and his sister might be similar personality-wise because her call while Tong was eating with Ming was convenient)

Ming doesn't tell Joe his name or how he got Joe's number

He called Joe drunk and obviously pissed off, then snapped at the staff for being shocked by his behavior

He doesn't tell Joe he thinks of him, but instead reversed Joe's statement to point out that Joe thinks of him

He doesn't compromise

And none of these have to do with sex and Ming wanting to fuck Joe because he looks like Tong because Ming's toxicity isn't just about sex.

This is about how meek Ming is around Tong

Compared to how aggressive he is with Joe.

Pushing Joe down and standing over him, which in the heat of the moment doesn't seem like much.

But Joe took Ming to his house because Ming told him to. Joe doesn't eat instead opting to watch Ming eat. Joe lets Ming spend the night because Ming asked. Joe gets on the bed because Ming tells him to. Joe goes to Ming when called. Joe bottoms because Ming wants him to. Joe does everything Ming wants.

With Tong, Ming can't control anything, but with Joe . . .

Ming's gonna control everything.

Or at least that's what I'm hoping!

So I'll be here all season, cheering every single time Ming does something truly fucked up because he is going about his issues in the worst way by trying to exert dominance on a stand-in of Tong since he is weak for the real Tong until he ends up regretting it once he loses Joe and tries to replace old Joe with new Jo which restarts the vicious cycle that began this entire shit show in the first place! *deep breath*

God, I'm so happy!

#my stand in #my stand in the series #I'm here for Ming's toxicity #please be worse babe #do it for me #it makes me so happy

Like imagine being an allegory for unhealthy coping mechanisms and how society rewards people for adhering to toxic ideals without question, only for some dummy to call you a sociopath.

#i dont like sentinel and will be the first to drag him but calling him a sociopath is too much for me #also implying that he never cared for Elita and Optimus does a huge disservice to their story #the whole point was Sentinel WASNT ALWAYS LIKE THAT; he became that way bc he continues to seek unhealthy coping mechanisms #and refuses to address his own flaws at the cost of everyone else's safety #bc of his toxicity he drives people away yet deep down he is very alone so essentially trapped in a vicious cycle #optimus's story was about breaking out of that cycle; and i still dont think he and sentinel should remain friends #that dont mean sentinel is beyond saving; he just needs a LOT of humbling and a new set of friends who doesnt put up with his shit #transformers animated #sentinel prime #tfa optimus prime

#my paper was actual garbage but its something so i wont get a zero you know #very much at that point where i just am accepting that im not going to get the grades i will be happy with #because i cant afford to go through the stress that would require again so i cant push myself #ive even been taking all of my meds for like a month now #which is actually really major for me i have really dreadful med compliance and its very not good for me #its just one of those vicious cycles where i stop taking them for whatever reason usually cuz im in distress (counter productive i know) #but then i feel worse because i really should be on them so then im even less motivated to take them because brains are dumb #anywaaaaaays #sorry for the rant #wasnt expecting that #take ur meds everyone #oh fuck lol that reminds me i have to take my heart meds now lol #:3

Reflecting in unspeakable blackness on the truth that I alone am the architect of all my miseries

#ivan why do you hate yourself so much #because of all the misery i cause myself #if someone did to you the things I do to myself you would hate them too #at this point it is just a vicious cycle

[shijuruiburning]

being sick specifically with lung infections for a year straight has absolutely 100% fucked up my ability to breath, probably permanently. I am out of breath doing the smallest physical exertion.

#i wear a mask and im just wheezing after 5 minutes but whatever i dont want to be sick MORE #i hate this i fucking hate black mold #shut up ripley #ive yet to catch covid but im doomed if i do at this point #being fat obviously doesnt help #i cant exercise or exert myself as much because of my lungs so i gain more weight and its just a vicious cycle #fucking ... pneumonia and bronchitis and blood inflammation and bacterial infections

Understanding the scene of Ted putting the tie on Mike (Mike commenting on how it's too tight and it's choking him and Ted saying that's how it's supposed to be) in a very Mike-Ted parallels way. AND IT WAS ON FRONT OF A MIRROR TOO. Shrimp colors everywhere.

#im so sorry for being this way truly i cannot help it. the vicious cycles get me. im seeing the light #bc personally i dont see it as simply about heteronormativity. i mean its a part of it #but its framed as like. ted is choking mike with heterosexuality! and while that is true to an extent they have ted say thats how its #supposed TO BE for a reason! clothing is something ppl put on themselves. putting on your tie too tight- choking yourself its not just #sexuality its about control. controlling your image. controlling yourself #the religious themes of s4 wasnt just a recent feature. the idea of repression (emotional/sexual/physical) goes all the way back to s1 #the concept of keeping such a tight control over yourself (ie 'choking' yourself and enforcing it on your children) falls in line with #religious trauma. constantly being watched not only by authority but god. repressing/choking yourself so you dont step out of line #and again its on front of the mirror. like idk mike-ted parallels arent popular in this fandom but take it up with the duffers #i didnt put them in there they did!!! #like the idea of being so repressed and being in a constant state of controlling oneself to toe the line not only falls in line with a lack #of pov (which they intentionally take away from mike and intentionally never give to ted) #but also mikes possible ED which again is about control! these are all metaphors for controlling oneself to a harmful extent! #one day ppl will appreciate mike ted parallels beyond 'ted hates mike for being gay' but alas today is not that day and it wont stop me #also 'try new things' being about coming out of your comfort zone! mike trying the pinapple pizza and ted going on the ferris wheel #not tightly controlling yourself to the point you make yourself miserable #blasts runs in the family drowning out literally everything else #its all religious trauma? always have been

#complicated situations complicated world there is context however. #saw someone claim that the tunisian jewish community didn't face antisemitism. #as a point about jewish diasporism and international jewish communities and antizionism #a quick google search will tell you that jews living in territories occupied by vichy france did not have a good time! #even before direct nazi invasion! #just because north african jews weren't all sent to concentration camps doesn't mean............ #and that's not getting into the ways in which #yes #anti-israel sentiments can and have been taken out on jewish communities in the MENA region #feeding a vicious cycle #like. obviously it's complicated! but the fact that there is still a tunisian jewish community doesn't mean! #they have never faced violence! #ignoring the ways that wwii and the spread of nazi germany impacted jews in regions other than europe is. in fact. #a form of holocaust denial. #if we want to counter zionism we need to be accurate. even when reality is inconvenient or painful. #radical diasporism can and must reckon with the fact that #the feelings of fear and insecurity #the conviction that jews will never be safe in the diaspora #*come from somewhere* #and there is something to be said about how the israeli government worked with governments across the mena region to displace their #jewish populations #and what that says about zionism. #and there is something to be said about how the violence of the israeli state feeds antisemitism and contributes to violence against #diaspora jews #drafting us involuntarily into a war we don't want to fight. #and there are many things to be said about how the impact of the holocaust on mizrahi and sephardic jews #have been completely erased from historical narrative. #there are so many things to be said. and we have to say them. but we have to be able to confront the truth. #i am going insane over here.

uaaaugh i need to unpack but i can't get off the floor. why do anything...

#im just being dramatic. im just being dramatic. #the point of life is gruelling work only to savour the single day of salvation #maybe ill treat myself to patented work shoes. as if thats anything. vicious ass cycles #why do i show up to do 3 hours of work only to meander the other 7. im only needed for the sake of having someone on the clock #its awful and agonizing and genuinely painful because we're not allowed to sit down #i hate it i hate it i hate it. music has no meaning anymore ans yet i try to find joy in the small things i can but ultimately hooooly fuuck #my own happiness is always short lived. its not possible for it to be eternal but Can The Horrors Fucking Relax For One Minute #I'm looking forward to the con I'm going to but also? #the misery upon coming back from That? can i take it? probably. the highs will be enticing after enduring whatever august brings #and my birthday... #thinking about that just makes me wanna cry #ugh

Dogbook really is brain rot 95% of the time

#imagine actually competing for titles instead of bragging about how you can rig events to get your dog points #imagine being a good sport #mmmmmmmmm #imagine actually having fun and bonding with your dog instead of talking about how its a vicious cycle of getting a title #then stressing over how to get the next one #instead of just loving your dog #can't relate

#harrys image is so funny like they want this iconic untouchable legend that has a career that spans decades #but also want him as weekly tabloid filler #like pick one lol #the laziness and forgiveness of the fandom has overruled the desire for legitimate status #(goes for both harry and his team tho i think part of it is he's just trusting to the point of acting dumb) #he's entering an even more vicious cycle with his music but so long as he's top story on dm its okay i guess #his team is stupid louis team is stupid and theyre acting dumb #ignore me #anyway im going back to watching the umbrella academy

I’d love it if tumblr stops recommending me discourse posts

I get it! Discourse exists! Now shut up and leave me alone to have fun

#its just paranoia fuel for me #like most of the time theres people going ‘yeah these people are bad’ #and just when you think they have a point they say ‘everyone who (insert thing here) is bad even though theres no proof’ and youre just like #‘what? youre literally doing what you said you wouldn’t #and this people is why i hate discourse #its a vicious cycle #because like #if you think everyone is bad who is (insert thing here) its quite a bad mindset #its very closed minded is all im saying #*sigh* why cant people get along #anyway minor rant over

hyperfixations are so funny like yeah I think I’m gonna come home from my office job and spend a few hours playing a video game that’s set in an office. really love the visuals of scattered paper and beige walls. the grey desks in this game are immaculate. a real escape from reality, I’d say.

#this is about the stanley parable and while it’s such an interesting game there is little to no visual appeal #like. some games are validated (to me) just by being visually appealing or interesting. this game? nah #i mean there are pretty scenes and definitely work put into it and that’s kinda The Point™️ but like. #do you know what it’s like. to sit at a grey desk in front of a beige wall typing at my computer. #only to come home. and play the stanley parable. #it’s a vicious cycle and one day I’ll learn everything and only then I’ll be free.
