2.1 Spoilers

So let me get it straight.

Ratio's thought process was: "Aventurine clearly has problems. He isn't being very reasonabale about his own life and well-being. He's about to confront his tragic past. He will find himself in a very dark place (literally and figuratively). Clearly, the only thing that can save him in his darkest hour is a note from me saying that I personally care about him (and I'll decorate it with a cute little owl)."

And it worked. Exactly as intended. 

#honkai star rail #my stuff #hsr 2.1 spoilers #hsr 2.1 #hsr spoilers #dr ratio #aventurine #sun literally starts shining again immediately #I mean they probably came to know each other quite well #during the planning of that “betrayal” #so it didn't just come out of nowhere

Do you guys remember this show?

Do you ever think about how the lore of that show was basically that there was a huge war and the winning side killed everybody on the losing side and then stuffed their corpses into a glorified lava lamp??

#silly #pac man and the ghostly adventures #pac man #overthinking #don’t worry I’m still on my obsession with the smiling critters #but this thought just came out of nowhere and hit me like a train #could you imagine being in a war #and literally everyone on your side of the war dies for losing #and then to add insult to injury #they stuffed your corpse into an RGB can

#see the issue is i feel like that isnt the main problem with kabuto here lmao #I've been gone for so long but ahem. as a kabuto scholar- #i feel like kabuto's main issue is that he was forced into this position by literally every outside force around him #the leaf village tried to kill him. he had no choice but to stay with orochimaru. after orochimaru died he had -nowhere to go- #but at this point in the story kishimoto doesn't want to acknowledge the problems with ninja society that led kabuto here #and that's why this explanation falls so flat to me #the most kabuto gets is itachi saying ''well it wasn't all his fault'' but not elaborating on why #and itachi is the one that is seen as in the right for making the decision to kill his entire clan in the name of upholding the status quo #so kishimoto can't outright blame kabuto's problems on the leaf village. so instead some reasons are thrown out here #that genuinely make no sense to me #and itachi claiming kabuto reminds him of himself also doesn't make much sense to me #because itachi always came across to me as incredibly sure of himself. always knew who he was and what he needed to do #which is... the opposite of kabuto #and itachi's explanation doesn't make it make sense to me. #kabuto had an amazing arc and this little summary from itachi here just ignores all of it to make up something entirely different #just in my own opinion at least. #naruto #kabuto #kabuto yakushi #mangacap #everykabuto #fourth shinobi world war: climax #chapter 587

When fans insist that byler is never happening and that despite that it’s not queerbait… I’m sorry, but this shit was so unnecessary? Noah tweeting this felt so PR motivated already, only for Netflix geeked to screenshot it and juxtapose it over a byler scene, followed by plastering on their social media… why?

#byler #what was the reason!?? #like it just feels like them warming the audience up to it #it literally operates the opposite of standard queerbait #they’re baiting bc they need to prepare for the inevitable delivery… #bc if byler happens #they’ll need stuff like this from the past to support that it was always planned #ppl can’t say byler came out of nowhere when they’ve been sprinkling byler propaganda like this

male authors, writing m/m friendships: their bond will develop through hundreds of chapters, we will get to see each stage of their budding relationship, they'll constantly be in each other thoughts, their first instinct will always be to reach for the other, their first worry will always be the other's safety, they'll spend every minute of the day together, they'll be complete opposites and yet perfectly compliment each other, they will put everything they ever loved in risk just to keep the other safe, they will give their life without hesitation to save the other's, they will fight and argue and tease and joke around but they will always be at each other's side at the end of the day, they will plan to spend the rest of their lives together, sharing the happy moments and the hard times, the idea of being without the other being unthinkable, the thought of being always together coming naturally, as easy as breathing.

the same male authors, writing m/f romance: she'll like,, smile once at him and he'll start thinking of marrying her and having children with her idk

#i talk a lot <3 #tged #the greatest estate developer #ch 368 #LITERALLY WHAT THE FUCK SIR #i remember the romance being sudden but this is fucking ridiculous lmaooooo #it came out of fucking nowhere!!! it's so shoehorned in there they almost cut off the heel to make it fit!!! #i don't think they've spent more than like.... 12 hours in the same room in all the years they've known each other.... what the fuck.... #and in fucking ch 368!! literally 40 ch away from the ending!! #less than 10% of the way to the end!!! i thought i was exaggerating when i said 90% of the novel had no romance but no!!! #i was fucking right!!!! #this is........ infuriating skjashdkdsf #to be clear i am not saying friendships cannot do everything i just listed here #of course they can!! more friendships in fiction should be like that!! but!!! you cannot write a friendship between two characters like tha #and then put one of those two characters in a romantic relationship with a completely different character #and not give it even a tenth of the attention you gave to the friendship and expect me to find it realistic!!! or compelling!!! #either give it the same level of attention or just!! don't include it!! #that's also an option!! just leave the incredibly compelling friendship you wrote be the highlight of the novel!! #let it be the most important relationship of the plot!! let it be the happy ending for those characters!! that's perfectly okay!!! #FUCK!!!! #i'm fine i'm normal i'm okay

While i work I've been listening to an LP of the Telltale Walking Dead Games (the ones with clementine, I do not care about the others lmao). Ages ago when I played these I was well aware/amused that part of season 2 takes place in Parker's Crossroads/Parker's Run because I grew up right next to it and the detail stood out to me. But I never caught the line of "We'll head to parker's run. It's just up the road from here" until just right now. So I had a sort of "wait, where the fuck are they supposed to be right now?" (search)

ARE YOU SHITTING ME LMAO So by process of elimination, since it's the only city with anything even remotely resembling a large home supply store, that would mean they're in my literal hometown. My tiny hometown in the middle of nowhere that's never in anything that barely anyone knows of. How in the fuck lmao

#shut up pu #random stuff #I guess Howe's would be our Co-Op #I moved away forever ago but my brain often still returns to that tiny town. the biggest city in henderson county. lmaoo #Did they just randomly pick a place on the map for the location... parker's crossroads/run surprised me but it's at least more of a thing #i'm upset with myself for never picking up on that before #sorry telltale but we never had a comic book store you have to go all the way over to the next county for that #also your geography's wrong it's east tennessee that has mountains #west tennessee is all hills #i'm being nitpicky but it's out of amusement #of all the places to end up in a zamboni apocalypse #my poor girl clem lucky she made it out at all #lmao I strongly dislike this series all BUT these games with clementine #and I love her so much #goes to show what a good likable character can do #anyway I'm upset that you don't get to go raid the dairyqueen in season 2 #maybe this is an odd thing to post about but I literally come from a #“the nearest starbucks is 40 minutes away” level of tiny nowhere town #and playing this game when it first came out only to realize this detail about a decade later made me spit my drink out

five stages of grief but it’s five stages of social anxiety

#walk with me #this morning i got a bouquet delivered to me at work randomly out of nowhere #the note basically said that i could count of the person even if for just some words of advice or a gesture that could make me laugh or mad #count on the person** #i immediately knew it’s from one of my coworkers and ngl i have a very charged?? relationship with them #in the sense that it’s very intense and we can be laughing joking and teasing or we can be really angry and pissed with each other #it can have very extreme emotions even if we just chill most of the time #idk why i think this whole year i’ve been leaning on them more?? and we started texting more often too #so we’ve been more properly friends lately #and for one i was SO EMBARRASSED for getting flowers bc my coworkers tease the shit out of everyone myself included and i’m not used to #gestures like that so obviously they were on my ass all day about it #and everyone asked about them and it’s EMBARRASSING to get that much attention #(me: i wanna be a singer / also me: can’t stand to be the center of attention) #anyway the person that sent them avoided me yesterday out of nowhere??? idk if they thought i was mad bc i didn’t reply to their texts all #weekend but i literally never reply to anyone and pms was a bitch and i just wanted to be alone #so they didn’t talk to me on monday i was mostly just working listening to music bc i was still emotional whatever #and today i did talk to my other coworkers bc it’s the day when my favorite coworker comes in and i talk to them a lot so i engaged more #and they were still ignoring me and then the flowers came in and we didn’t say a single word to each other today we just texted #they told me they sent them and that ‘they forgot’ what they sent and that it was just meant to be a nice gesture #and that bc they wanted to ‘surprise’ me and make me feel better bc i said i was sad at one point?? idek #i literally just want to tell them I HAD PMS ITS FINE I FEEL SUICIDAL ALL THE TIME and move on #bc now i’m second guessing everything they’re saying bc i thought we were friends and there’s no reason why friends can’t send each other #flowers or whatever but they’ve been avoiding me and then they keep answering my texts really weirdly and i always misinterpret flirting bc #i’m never outright romantic with anyone?? plus we’re FRIENDS i should have no reason to think that’s changed #but they’re being so weird and why get me FLOWERS??? idk get me a chocolate or a coffee i don’t NEED flowers #and then i said it was random to give me flowers out of nowhere and they’re like no it’s serious bro what’s serious?????? #your feelings towards me?? or just your will to cheer me up??? #if they don’t reply straight up in their next texts i’m gonna flat out say but it was a platonic gesture right??? #so yeah i’m overthink getting flowers bc what’s the social code for that and what is one supposed to do when they get flowers from a friend #delivered to their joint workplace where everyone can see them and think they’re from a partner or something

I’m once again irrationally mad about how people complain about the magic metaphors in buffy work (the whole dark magic=addiction, wicca = gay shit thing).

Like I cannot express how frustrating it is to see people bitching about how things like Dark Willow “don’t make sense” because “magic/Wicca was a originally metaphor for queerness“ or whatever as tho the first two major episodes in the series where magic was used (1x3 “Witch” and 2x8 “Dark Ages” ) weren’t all about the dark/inappropriate/destructive/abusive use of magic.

People loooooooveeeeee Giles’ past as Ripper and delight over things like “Band Candy” where we see him go Full Ripper but cannot for the life of them seem to remember that we first even LEARNED ABOUT THAT PART OF HIM IN DARK AGES WHERE HE TALKED ABOUT BASICALLY MAGICALLY PARTYING SO HARD HIS FRIEND DIED. THIS IS OUR FIRST MAJOR CHARACTER EPISODE THAT’S GOT MAGIC AS A MAIN FOCAL ELEMENT! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL METAPHOR!

The queerness is still kinda baked in there because of the Ethan Of It All but it’s first and foremost a metaphor about like, all the shit that classically leads to substance abuse and the worst outcomes that can come from it. Willow and Tara are an example of the “good” side of magic ( I’ll say Jenny is also in this section but they do so fucking little w/ her technopagan-ness so). They’re also pretty explicitly said to be “Wiccans” which I also have some issues with because of how Wicca is portrayed/talked about in the show (the Silver RavenWolf energy of it all is so galling). But like, that’s literally a whole fucking different subsection/practice of witchcraft/magic. This is like getting mad at water polo for muddling the metaphor of jet skiing. Like yes, they both are water sports but I think you’ll that they’re not the same fucking one and work completely differently.

Magic is not just 1 set of spells and rituals, it’s a multifaceted, multilayered, multi-pathed thing. With Giles we see how it can go Very Wrong and with Willow and Tara in S4-5 we see how it can go Very Right (and how it can be used to help get the Gay in the show around the Fox Censors). Willow increasingly having issues with magic/substance abuse is NOT a mixed metaphor/bad writing/ruining the gay metaphor and implying gays are bad. It’s USING THE OTHER ALREADY ESTABLISHED MAGIC METAPHOR AS PART OF HER CHARACTER ARC. WILLOW CAN BE QUEER AND ALSO HAVE A SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUE! GILES ARGUABLY DID IT FIRST ANYWAY (again, the Ethan Of It All)!

Willow has ALWAYS been insecure, a lil bit of a control freak, someone who wants to be HER REAL SELF and also someone TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Like she wants to be Willow but only if it’s a Willow who’s better/cooler/stronger/prettier etc. Someone who’s not the “pathetic loser” she still sees herself as even in season 6 and hasn’t totally shaken in season 7. These desires both to feel more In Control/Better and Not Yourself are classic reasons people will turn to substance abuse. For Willow is it MUCH easier to do a wizard spell to “fix” a problem than it is to like, fucking confront her issues of self-loathing and self-worth and like.... go to therapy. And that’s what gets her in trouble just like it has for so many others before her. Like in many ways Dark/Addict Willow is like seeing Giles’ Ripper Era live and on screen plus maybe a lil bit on steroids.

Magic can be used as part of more than 1 metaphor and the substance abuse metaphor came first. Stop pretending like it never existed in the show until season 6.

#train.txt #meta #btvs #I'M ON MY BULLSHIT AGAIN #but i just REALLY HATE THIS ARGUMENT #how effectively the metaphors were used/how well done this arc for willow was done/how it reflects on queerness etc is another thing #but i cannot stand when people act like the substance abuse metaphor came out of NOWHERE in s6 #and somehow just there to Ruin The Gay or Makes No Sense or Was Never A Thing Before #and how people will willingly conflate all magic into One Kind when even the show itself talks about at MINIMUM 2 major kinds #and there's been like various different schools/traditions mentioned #and it's VERY CLEAR IN THE SHOW that dark magic is used as a metaphor for Bad Things and white magic for Good Things #like if you're gonna be a motherfucker about the Gay Metaphor I'm gonna have to join the war on the side of the addiction metaphor #because it LITERALLY CAME FIRST IN THE SHOW!!!!!!! AND JUST BECAUSE YOU FORGOT THIS DOES NOT MEAN I DID!!!! #IT'S NOT OOC OR AN ASS PULL IT'S LITERALLY BEEN THERE FOR YEARS!!!! AND IF ANYONE WAS GONNA HAVE A 'DRUG' ISSUE IT WAS GONNA BE WILLOW LBR

[magical-xirl-4]

the amount of catharsis i just felt when i read this section

#kyoko #pmmm #paying closer attention here to how kyoko views sayaka btw #the core of their relationship is that they are extremely similar and kyoko is the only one who truly recognises it #and wants to save sayaka because she is trying to save her self #she doesn't want sayaka to follow the same path as her. and later wants to be friends with her #because she wants to believe she can be her old self again. her old self that was hopeful and friendly to other magical girls #like she was with mami. not having to wear that social mask #so anything else kyoko and sayaka's relationship outside of the show where it showcases smth more than platonic #is literally just fanservice that takes away that complexity #i love rebellion but as a kyoko stan first and foremost i will always dislike that 'came out of nowhere' handhold scene

you ever think about how the LOV in its current form technically only exists because of izuku, like tomura was super pissy about toga and dabi at first but then after talking to izuku during the mall encounter, he realised what he needed to do

shocking turn of events: izuku midoriya was the first LOV stan

I think about this ALL THE TIME. I'VE WRITTEN POSTS ON THIS.

LOV stans who hate Izuku make me scratch my head because he's literally the only reason they exist. Or really, Tomura's weird fixation on Izuku (that was there before Toga and Dabi and everyone else even strolled in) is the reason they exist. Normal villains don't approach their enemies at the mall, reveal their face so that they can give an accurate description to the police (whereas before they had no idea what his face looked like), and vent their feelings out to them. Force information out of them? Sure, why not. Pretty normal villain thing to do. Not in a mall, but still if he were threatening his life for info, that'd be more expected than him venting his damn feelings (about wondering why people don't pay attention to him--it's really a mystery why that would irritate him huh/j). Like, if not for Tomura feeling like he was familiar enough with green boy from watching him from afar to approach him and ask for advice, LOV wouldn't exist. Toga and Dabi would have fucked right off.

Thank you Izuku for the LOV. LOV stans should thank you more smh

#sorry this topic unleashes the beast within me #I have literally written a post on this before #about how it's fucking wild izuku is the reason tomura got as far as he did in canon #but izuku is also only the reason bc tomura was weirdly fixated on him in the first place #they just keep going round and round and round and rou-- #bnha asks #🐇🐈 #shigaraki tomura #midoriya izuku #anyway more me talking about why ppl who think the tomu izu dynamic came out of nowhere should probably reread early arcs #and really REALLY look closely at tomura's arc and tomura during MVA specifically #ha #anyway

you guys remembered that kdrama "my love from another star" the one with an alien who got stranded in earth for four hundred years? not sure, it's been so long since i watched that drama but what if… and im perfectly aware im reaching here, but what if the reason yoo joonghyuk have no proper identification and memory of his past is because he's an alien from the stars and got amnesia while coming down the spaceship? like he probably tripped but that's not the point, the point of this rambling: yoo mia is probably an alien too since yanno siblings and that’s why yoo joonghyuk cannot find their parents—it's because thEY ARE FREAKIN' ALIENS!!!

so, in conclusion: the yoo siblings ​are aliens. that's it, i connected shit! case closed.

#me to me: NO YOU DID NOT STOP #but for real the yoos must be aliens they literally just came out of nowhere and we know where they could come from #the stars 👀 other planet 👀 must be why sp is so comfortable in n'gai #he's going back to his roots #yoo joonghyuk #yoo mia #omniscient reader's viewpoint #orv #omniscient reader

i have a confession everyone. i am actually scared of caterpillars

#this came out of absolute nowhere but i just saw a video of caterpillars and got jump scared #i’m shaking in my boots #🐛🐛🐛🐛🐛 #AHHHH #THEY’RE SO…. #BIG AND ROUND AND HAVE GUTS THAT GO EVERYWHERE IF THEY’RE ACCIDENTALLY STEPPED ON OR EATEN BY A REPTILE #AND THEY’RE WIGGLE AROUND AND WRINKLY AND HAVE SO MANY LEGS #AND THEY HAVE WEIRD TEXTURESSS #AND THEIR EYEBALLS WIGGLE #OR SKMETHING #I SAW A SPECIFIC CATERPILLAR ONCE AS A KID AND IT FUCKING SCARRED ME #just looked up brown caterpillar with eyes and got jumpscared again oh shit oh fuck it’s so fucking gross and scary #anyway it’s called eastern tiger swallowtail caterpillars #specifically the brown ones because that’s the one i saw as a kid #and they do this weird defense mechanism by trying to mimic snakes by sticking out a disgusting orange thing from their face and wiggling #their head back and forth and it’s fucking scary it genuinely scares the shit out of me #so i guess their defense works LOLL #BUT EWWW SORRY FOR BEING HATEFUL TOWARDS CATERPILLARS BUT THEY ARE THE ONE (1) INSECT I CANNOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR #I LIKE SPIDERS! I LOVE TARANCHULAS AND OTHER BUGS #but caterpillars… it sounds like a shitpost but i’m being serious. i literally have no other fears besides needles and caterpillars #just had to get this out there

#just saw a post that was like 'if you have religious or moral objections that stop you from providing certain types of medical care maybe #you shouldn't work in healthcare' (paraphrased) and... #what a way to look at the world tbh #like. they're talking about me i think - i am a conscientious objector when it comes to euthanasia #(which granted has come up exactly twice and both cases in a theoretical capacity only this is not a frequent request to me) #and... i am also a good doctor #last week i told someone that her weight doesn't matter to her health with receipts to prove it and she cried #no one had ever told her that before #and that was something that came from me specifically. that was something i would not trust all of the GPs in my practice - a practice of #excellent and compassionate GPs! - to say #i am verifiably doing good in my job that is coming from specifically who i am as a person #i cannot put that down when it comes to issues i care deeply about #fundamentally the fact that i cannot put it down is what makes me a good doctor #i think that's what i'm trying to get at #the reason that i do well by my patients is that i practice out of my values and my ethics #if i did not stand on that core i would not stand at all #so you can't have it both ways. you can't have engaged and active and compassionate healthcare providers without sometimes those engaged an #active providers having things they do not feel comfortable doing #and it is to everyone's service if they are up front about it and do not try to hide (i am suspicious of people who try to hide this) #i am literally figuring this all out as i type hence the v long tag ramble and also being nowhere near the post that started this train #(honestly in med school we talked so much about ethics as like. abortion! euthanasia! trans rights! and the ethics in practice is the littl #things. do you apologise when you mess up. how do you manage a consult with your patient with paranoid dementia and her child in the same #room at one time - or one by one bc that's fraught too. (that one's on top i had one of those today.) how do you act with grace when #you're a bit stressed and your patient is a bit stressed and the nurse wants to add five more things to your book. the day to day ethics is #SUCH a bigger thing when you come to actual practice.) #this is obviously entirely about me and leans on the fact that i largely do think i am doing a good job i am really feeling my own way #to a Thought. but i think to a certain extent it is generalisable

hiii UHH genq your bio has “proship dni” but you drew venvan? im so sorry im not trying to start arguments im js a tad confused if ur a proshittee dni blog then draw venvan?

The only reason venvan could be considered proship is because some people interperate them as brothers. This is NOT what their relationship is in canon. The only "basis" for that in canon is Vanitas mockingly calling Ventus (AND Sora btw) 'brother' in kh3, something which is not only not meant to be taking literally (he is not saying 'brother' as in 'we are family' but as in 'we are intrinsically connected'. This is also why Sora is included) but also Ventus rejects that term wholeheartedly.

Their dynamic is, in canon, that of two parts of one person split off from each others and growing to become two seperate people (just like Sora and Roxas). Labelling their relationship as brothers is IMO pretty reductive of the complexity of their canon dynamic.

#also imo the whole 'brother' stuff in kh3 is just really weird for vanitas #he doesnt talk about ventus like that in bbs AT ALL and him just suddenly calling him thay came out of nowhere #even the 'venty-wenty' stuff sounds weird from him #idk i think vanitas is weird in kh3 in general so i find it easier to not take it literally #bc it doesnt make sense to me otherwise #anyway ventus & vanitas are not brothers and i think people shouldnt take vanitas calling him that so literally #if u personally interperate them as brothers thats fine! u do u! i can see how that can be appealing to people! #i dont personally though #asks #xander answers
