#like i think its bittersweet

[jupiter-suggestion]

consider the sperm whale and the squid. an ancient rivalry that dates back millions of years. we know the whales eat the squids. we know the squids do not make it easy for them. we know this because of the scars the whales carry, scars on the outside of their body, and on the inside as well. how badly must you want something to endure wounds inside your mouth? inside your gut?

consider the whale, who is harmed by what sustains her. consider the squid, whose flesh is soft and delicious but refuses to go down easy.

#mine #suggestion #this is not a direct allegory to anything i just think about whales with scars inside their stomachs and i Feel Things #oh i do know what its like to fight the thing you need. i do know the bittersweet taste of victory for a price. #y'all ever relate to a whale? #50 #100 #500 #1k #5k #10k #25k #35k

hold on i need to get a thought and emotions out. so with Welcome Home, there seems to be a before and an after. obviously, we're in the after. the website is the after. and if it turns out that the story we see, the one where shit hits the fan and the show is practically erased, then... that already happened. whatever horrors we see, we'll know that there is no saving them. there is no happy ending - it happened, and it's tragic. the show is doomed to end and be scrubbed away. if any of the characters are revealed to be dead/gone by the website, then when/if we see them at an earlier point, we'll Know

and there's a special kind of dread and horror in that for us, the audience.

#im not articulating this the way i want to... #it's like going to see a tragic play. like romeo and juliet for instance. #we go into it knowing the end. they die. no matter what they die. every step they take leads to That End #every happy moment is undercut by the knowledge that it won't last #thinking about this makes me think that at some point learning more about the story/characters is gonna feel like digging up a grave #AGH I LOVE IT THOUGH I LOVE IT. IT HURTS SO MUCH BUT I LOVE IT #its a special feeling of dread/nostalgia/bittersweetness/resignation #and that is sensation in the chest that doesnt feel good but it also does somehow? it hurts but just enough to not be unbearable? #welcome home #welcome home speculation #welcome home puppet show #man i am so so so so scared for the puppets lmfao #i have some theories on the ways shit might go down. like little things. souring relationships and such #i also have a feeling that the story is really gonna hit home (ha) for me in Big Ways #like as soon as i saw clown say that it's kinda about 'when does a home become a house' and stuff #OOF. YIKES. WHEN DOES IT INDEED. i mean i know. ive lived it. im Living it. #this is gonna get unintentionally personal Real Fast in Several Fun And Festive Ways for me huh #i wonder if the story is gonna be uncovered linearly or not... #chewing on it chewing on it chewing on it #i can't wait to Understand the world/characters so that i can write fanfic. i want to so badly. i want to Explore #i want to hop into that grave and keep digging

a little thing i always appreciate about mob psycho is how, for the most part, characters are allowed to cry, even over things that seem small and silly, without the narrative making fun of them for it

#like the only times i can think of where someone crying is a joke are like #mob crying over dash granny outrunning him and reigen at his birthday?? #but even at his birthday its more like. heartwarming and a bit bittersweet than purely a joke #mp100 #mob psycho 100

i love how before the stream happened people were like "hey hlvrai fandom can we promise to act normal this time" and then The Stream happened and I watched in real time as the hlvrai tag devolved into insane discourse and harassment. peace was never an option.

#when i i make fun of hlvrai discourse i wanna clarify that its because I was in the fandom almost from the beginning #i was never in The discourse trenches myself bc my main way of fandom interaction is fanart but I witnessed a lot of stuff #and you know. its nostalgic in a bittersweet way. #getting serious for a moment #i think its normal that some people were disappointed and almost felt insulted. its ok if you kinda felt that way #when i talk about insane discourse i mean such takes as ´rtvs were ableist for doing this´ and of course the edgy ones- #being like ´lol get wrecked stupid hlvrai fans you little babies. you wouldn't feel this way if you were A REAL rtvs fan´

Angst/comfort idea: Kid Nagito looking in the mirror at his hair some time after being treated when the first signs of his lymphoma appeared. He had to go bald for a little while, but the treatment was successful. However now that his hair has begun growing back, the first hints of faded white are showing. His mom and dad come in to offer some comfort. Apologizing for being a bit neglectful and promising to make it up to him. With a family trip overseas to San Cristobal...

being Nagito is suffering

#anonymous #*ugly sobbing in the club* #danganronpa #komaeda nagito #fala replies #a e i o queue #I actually really like the idea that Nagito's appearance is due to his first bout with lymphoma #that would explain how he could have such a drastic change in appearance #way before he gets diagnosed with FTD and a relapse with lymphoma #ah its bittersweet to think of the San Cristobal trip #we all know how it ends but at least in way...it happens on their way back #so Nagito DID get to spend some family vacation time with his parents #and I wanna believe it was a wonderful time for him indeed #on a side note how did this child with no relative and a large inheritance NOT #end up in a orphanage?? Like....wouldn't he have been put in an orphanage or foster care #then given a stipend and his inheritance when he came of age?? #Nagito's past is so perplexingly sad and confusing much like his personality lol

i know you get deja vu.

#aew #wrestling #kenny omega #hangman page #matt jackson #nick jackson #the elite #young bucks #hangkenny #video edit #the bittersweet deja vu hangman must be feeling in this scenario #like #he was family with the elite and did everything with them until he left them for another family #and now he leaves that family to come back #i couldve made this edit with the elite/dark order but NO THANK U #much more fun to just be like 'look! just like the good old days!!' #instead of thinking about how its more or less over between hangman and the dark order <\3

You think Darryl ever grabbed one of Glenn's horns to make a point and Glenn moaned a little. And they both decided not to deal with it.

#sorry im on the verge of a spiral im coping #cw suggestive #closeson #No but i think. if Darryl grabbed Glenn's horns and pulled him into a kiss to make him stop talking? it would work. #you ever hate your fellow dad so much and need him to stop talking nonsense that you plagiarize Henry and press your lips to his. #In such a closeson miod bc like #they hate each other. they trust each other. the love each other. they're competition. they're teammates. they've been through hell and back #They can fix each other and make each other worse. they're comedy. tragedy. bittersweet. friends family lovers partners rivals. #they made out during an argument about car oil and Glenn said Darryl had a fat ass. Darryl smoked weed at Glenn's funeral. #anyway what was i saying #oh yeah i think Darryl would grind him to dust and Glenn would like it and vice versa. #its almost 4am god help us all

honestly i wouldnt that surprised if tbhks ending was bc of the present being changed either amane dying at 4 yrs old or him becoming a teacher because usually aidairos works end with bittersweet/sad endings

but tbh it would be a rlly shit ending

#hoping that is not the ending #i believe that aidairo will NOT make the ending bittersweet #it only has to be sweet #and it better be a good ending #except i cant think of how tbhk will have a good ending #like... i can only think of bittersweet ike yashiro becoming the 8th wonder which is a lot of ppls theories #but i think that wont happen if im being honest #but i swear if tbhk ends like its pilot #it will be on sight. #tbhk #jshk #yashiro nene #hanako kun #maris tbhk

some of my friends happy abt rwby hype and im just :|

#sigh. #idk i guess im just holding back on the excitement cuz. it doesnt mean anything #like #its not confirmation of v10 ACTUALLY happening. nor somethting we didnt know cause.. #at least for me. it wasnt much of a surprise abt the cahracters reactions #COUGH COUGH RG CANON COUGH COU- #Not but fr tho. we ALL knew thats what was gonna happen. oscar is having a crisis???? no shit sherlock #i did get excited to see more of nora and ren's perspective too. i know its just an animatic that might even be changed if v10 happens #but #sigh idk. i think im just trying not to be so hyped up abt it etc etc #but anyways oscar thinking abt ruby is so bittersweet like ugh yes thats my ship right there but oh the angst 😭 #might delete this later akshwkqk sorry for rambling

i have this fic in my brain with like. two parts. possibly three. and that's 1) ted teaches trent, of all people, how to make his famous biscuits. this implies a few things:

a) trent is now the biscuit successor. ted's always handing out biscuits. trent finds himself doing the same thing. (this would be the hypothetical third part, if you'll forgive my nonlinearity--trent, and the community, and biscuits.)

b) i like to think trent would enjoy making it bc Autism. idk about yall but i love following a list of precise instructions with little treats along the way with the end result of a thing i can not only hold in my hands but eat??? anyway trent gaining a new hobby for his spare time (that his daughter LOVES to "assist" with lol) and maybe he even starts experimenting himself--the biscuits are never going to be exactly like ted's, but they have something special of their own, too. (and it's still made with love :))

c) ted and trent baking together and the cute (but ultimately bittersweet) shenanigans that ensue.

2) rebecca is missing biscuits with the boss and girl talk, now that ted's gone, when trent hesitantly ducks in with a pink box.

3) again, as beforementioned, trent inadvertently getting roped into making these regularly. first it's one off thing--cheering colin up or it's mentioned that he used to make them for someone ELSE'S kid's birthday and trent knows from experience that's not to be missed, and then it's just. becoming a thing. he is regularly making biscuits now. he is ted's biscuit man successor.

#of course there's all sorts of other things i can do with this #the bittersweet nature of ted leaving and people filling in holes he left. if ted ever comes back seeing how things have changed-- #ways trent's changed his process/recipe in ted's absence and how he's had to build around the hole ted left and now has his own way of #doing things (trent crimm independent huh!) and being ''replaced'' but also in this hypothetical return scenario which wasn't even the plan #for the original fic but i can't help but think of bc im a sucker--also just. yes trent was your 'successor' but that doesn't mean #there's no room for you. and now they're that baking couple lkjfgh biscuit husbands if you will #that's a whole other optional sequel fic i think. anyway im just spinning this idea in my brain #ted lasso #trent crimm #rebecca welton #ANYWAY regardless of a potential tedependent fix it sequel #i just think like #trent finding hobbies he enjoys something that is connected to ted but he genuinely makes his own #trent and building those community bonds and a support system... #idk its not perfect but i enjoy it

i only just found your au and i need everyone to have a happy ending so badly im gonna cry ;-; sally is gonna be so freakin upset when she wakes up for real and sees she decimated barnaby.

oh, Barnaby already has his arm stitched back on when she wakes up! and really, even if he didn't, that'd be the Least of her worries. she wakes up into a Real nightmare - partially of her (unintentional) making

#happy endings... well... yes and no. depends on what act you look at #act one? no! actually things get So Much Worse in an entirely festive new way! #act two? eh! sorta! its more bittersweet than anything #act three and four blend into each other so much that three doesn't have an 'ending' #but the final act - act four... well. who's to say! im still workshopping what i want to happen #but i do know it's still gonna have at Least a bittersweet tinge to it #wh lights out au #rambles from the bog #there are consequences and not everyone Makes It. i dont like stories where everything wraps up perfectly fine #even if it hurts! i like it when things hurt in a good way. those stories where the ending is overall positive #but Enough Happened that its just... its an ache. looking at where someone used to be. you know? #my favorite shows and books and fics have ended with me smiling while sobbing bc it yes it Hurts but it was So Fucking Good #and while i wouldnt be able to handle rewatching/rereading due to Emotional Damage... #i think of them fondly and often and theyre Important to me #perfectly happy endings just rub me wrong. it always feels like there's something Missing despite it all being idyllic #i cant let my own stories - original or aus or whatever - have that kind of end #so if thats what people are hoping for! you've come to the wrong person and the wrong au! #i like to be kind but that rarely extends to my creative works! #i like it messy and painful and bittersweet and i like to be Ruthless with my creations with no compromise #sometimes characters need to fight. or leave. or die. or make serious mistakes. etc. #but anyway! anyway.... #i will say that there isn't a happy ending for Everyone. and for others it's... complicated. again - bittersweet
