#it's mildly about the powers

[theminecraftbee]

in general i think one of cubfan’s most important traits is that he is terrifyingly competent at basically every aspect of the game. however, he mostly uses his terrifying powers to be a nuisance. this is really important to understanding cubfan,

#hermitcraft #cubfan135 #every time he does something that reminds me of his competence i'm like 'he just knows everything about minecraft huh' #because yeah he just knows everything there is to know about minecraft #and when he's in a competition of some kind or a situation where that becomes relevant his ability to be chill and know everything? powerful #but ALSO he largely uses his obscure knowledge of minecraft to be a cryptid and make everyone's days mildly more confusing #and the amount i respect him for this is immense

small leon headcanons (for creative freedom in my writings, mostly)

-impeccable hearing. crazy fucking good hearing. he's able to distinguish different sounds, like voices, amongst gunfire and explosions. he may not understand, but being able to detect if someone is near during audial overstimulation is the point.

he can hear, clearly, conversations in whispers from a decent range, and his ears literally twitch towards said sounds (like a cat!)

-nerve damage. caused by las plagas mostly, but also his numerous injuries over the years. and probably head trauma. his hands and shoulders mostly. it's chronic, but he's also able to ignore it for the most part. huge pain tolerance developed over the years. the nerve damage makes him a tad clumsy/gets him into trouble a lot. the only reason he's able to get captured and strangled all the time lol

#resident evil #leon s kennedy #two things that i will add to later #these are the two things i'm currently writing about #he's only mildly superhuman and is probably a bow of sorts #like wesker having crazy powers #leon's are just so mild via his fucking kick and damage tolerance

Adora is definitely not flexible enough for this trend on Twitter, but I want to draw Catra topping because there’s never enough of it!

I would totally read a good Lizzie going quasi-Munchausen By Proxy on Tommy. Starts with something small, a cold that she overreacts to and treats like it's deadly; Tommy knowing but letting her because he's tired, taking the pills, taking the pills. Lizzie realising he's letting her but incrementally testing these boundaries with more and more removal of (self) control and independence. Until one day they realise it's all too late to exit this strange and horrible thing they've created.

Could totally go for this with Polly instead of Lizzie, too.

#there's fics with tommy and asylums but it has to be domestic and a ~mutual descent~ not imposed on him that's the thing #always that blurred boundary of who has the power #tommy x lizzie #tommy x polly #i tried in 'cage kills more' but they fought so hard to even articulate fantasising about this it was a mildly jarring undercurrent only #dark PB fic prompt released to the wild #is there a random PB prompt tag?

I kind of love that Rain doesn't remotely struggle to get away while Payu is spanking him, and afterwards, despite complaining, he doesn't use disrespectful language. He still calls Payu "P'Payu", and uses "Pom" instead of "Goo" for "I/me". In fact, so far after their linguistic domination scene, Rain has stuck to respectful pronouns, no matter how indignant he acts. Payu has been trying to be Rain's Dom, and Rain is slowly letting him be.

I admit I'm wildly curious where it'll go from here.

#it could be said that the only couples I find interesting are ones with power dynamics #I would mildly contest that #after all there's no real power dynamic in my otp #the one in my screen name #but I mean I'll be honest it's mostly true that D/s couples are my favorites #anyways I still resent the way their relationship started #just assume that from here on out #any post I make about this couple comes with a disclaimer about the importance of consent #and how it was not there for the first one and a half episodes #okay now that that's out of the way imma let myself enjoy this couple bc MAME and I have a lot of the same kinks #I can't help it #love in the air #payu x rain #payurain #rainpayu #rainphayu #rain x phayu #phayurain #phayu x rain #jfc I wish there was a consisent spelling of Payu's name #payurain meta #my meta

calling preferred pronouns a “stupid social protocol” is,,,, a take for sure

Yeah and honestly I think it's a very valid one for an autistic 16 year old who has exclusively had the concept explained by people inexplicably shouting at her about what an evil person she is because.

She asked someone how a mutual acquaintance was doing these days by the name and pronouns they used four months ago, when she last heard about them.

Rules are just. They're just rules. We make them up. We have to tell each other about them and navigate and negotiate and evolve them. There's gonna be access conflicts. People don't know your set of rules as a natural upwelling of inner virtue, that's not how culture or goodness or anything works. Queerness should not be about conformity.

Social constructs aren't. They aren't all that important.

You have to realize this if you want to liberate people to actually fuck freely with gender. You have to stop criminalizing and taxonomizing and demanding universal obedience to your particular principles. I am sick to death of shit like getting told by trans women that drag is transphobic and should be shamed.

If we enforce Virtuous Conduct by abusing people, we do not get an overall improvement in wellbeing. We get a lot of people keeping their heads down and obeying the New Rules with the same bitter helplessness they obeyed the first set of Arbitrary Gender Pronouncements they were raised into, and a bunch of unnecessary enemies.

Don't do that shit.

What was your first impression of Gojo?

i don’t really have a very concise answer for this, so you’re getting a very long winded response here 💀 so before i actually read and watched jjk myself, and actually committed to it, i had watched the first several episodes of it with my family, and so that was my pure first impressions of him. but the problem with that, is how i have literally no memory of what i was thinking while watching it.. so i think most of my impression of him before genuinely committing to jjk was just: he’s funny, flamboyant, powerful, and sort of like kakashi (but in reality he’s really not..). which was mostly just me being influenced by other peoples thoughts about him, and what i could remember/pick up on second hand lol

#i have a mildly related story to tell #it’s about my thoughts on gojo before actually reading jjk so #before i read jjk i didn’t really know what gojos powers quite were #and so what i assumed it was. was that since he wears the blindfold and has the insane glowing blue eyes. i thought that maybe when #he took the blindfold off if you made genuine eye contact with him. you would idk get severely injured or smth #that medusa type thing yknow #but no. he literally just wears the blindfold because he gets overstimulated 💀💀 #past me did make a pretty decent guess at it though #ask game

Let the boy have powers-

#mike has powers #this is about mike #lmao #but also like I'm mildly confused bc getting powers in the stranger things universe isn't exactly hard #plus i want to see the downfall of his hero/power worship in the aftermath #like he'd get what he wants #but instead of being good it hurts #literacy come to me

all the romancable DAO companions really just start falling for the warden if you're simply nice to them, huh

#i am trying really hard to keep them at arms length because I haven't decided between leliana and zevran #yet somehow I accidentally started a romance with alistair which I didn't even notice until he pulled out the rose #i am convinced it started because my warden told him she likes him for himself not his blood #which is a perfectly normal thing to say given that's a thing he seems insecure about and she genuinely likes him *but not as love interest #at least that's where I needed to reload to because I felt too bad to shoot him down lmao #also it would be mildly weird because in my mind that warden sees alistair more as a sibling she really wants to give a pep talk to #and square up with anyone that's rude to him #anyway #my point stands because I have to make an active effort with leliana to not lead her on #and to be fair I'm not trying that hard to stop with with zevran but also his approval is so easy to get up as well #morrigan might break that pattern #i wouldnt know because for some reason she's straight #and I made a female warden because my inky is a dude and I can't have everyone powerful be a dude yk as much as I love cas

nothing frustrates me more to my core than abled ppl in fandoms referring to explicitly canonically disabled characters as "kinda disabled" (with the clear implication of "but not really") when they don't fit stereotypes, or are even just fucking self-sufficient (like a lot of real life disabled people!)

#this is about a lot of characters but specifically matt murdock and dewey riley #like. babes. 'mildly disabled' is still disabled. and matt is still blind regardless of his powers. cry about it #og #ableism tw

Well.  Okay.  I suppose I’m glad that TDP, or at least TDP’s marketing team, finally recognizes that Aaravos and Viren’s relationship is the most compelling part of the show — things were looking pretty bleak there for a while.  Also it’s pretty cool that they took their time making this season instead of rushing out something as messy as the last one, even just from the standpoint of promoting a healthier workplace (yeah, remember that controversy?).  I really wish I had an ounce of faith left in the writers, though, because with their track record an entire season/phase* devoted to the “Mystery of Aaravos” will probably just end up having a higher volume of shit that annoys me than usual.  In fact, that subtitle leads me to believe that they decided they just want to get aaaall the Aaravos-related stuff they built up out of the way in one production cycle so they can move on to the shiny new stories they actually want to tell in this universe.  Dude is almost certainly gonna get a big Disney villain perma-death within three books, so like. look forward to that, I guess.

*The phase/book/season thing is confusing af, but I think the gist of it is that “The Dragon Prince” was the first three books (which only had 27 25-minute episodes cumulatively, so functionally and probably production-wise constituted one “season” of television), whereas this three-book cycle will be “Mystery of Aaravos” (no “The” for some reason. it’s fine. it doesn’t matter).  I suspect the seventh and final book will be as long as a normal TV season, and I also suspect that they did not plan a lot or any of this from the start.  It’s weird that this is still being called “The Dragon Prince Saga” when “The Dragon Prince” was apparently only the first phase — couldn’t they rebrand the franchise as “Tales of Xadia” or something?  It’s not like “The Dragon Prince” is that great for SEO or marketing, considering how it intersects with other generic fantasy titles.

#Kumari comments #Kumari abuses the tagging system #sigh. at least the Viravos fans are winning(?) #they will Not be given nuance but they Might be mildly homoerotic about their weird power dynamic. This is what Viravos fans want I assume #idk. I don't expect TDP to surprise me at all and I really should just let it go #but a part of my brain is always trying to give this show the benefit of the doubt #And that teaser is totally playing on that stupid part of my brain! like heyyy look at Viren not being framed as a monster for 15 seconds #(this is because he's literally being reduced to a pawn but it's better than nothing right) #just … ehh. he's probably gonna get a Zuko-esque rEdeMPtion aRC huh #him or Claudia but probably not both #I can't articulate my exact objection to that (I'm so tired) but the general vibe is Not Good #It's going to be so annoying.
