sometimes i think about how the acotar books could've been a great way to show that "love doesn't heal trauma" rather than whatever points sjm was trying to make about abusive relationships and sa. instead of tamlin being abusive, she could've written that feylin's individual traumas kept them from reaching out to each other. or that feyre felt suffocated by the perfect, idyllic and alive spring court when she felt the opposite on the inside. or that tamlin felt overwhelmed by the sudden influx of responsibilities as he's trying to rid himself of the nightmares from utm. they try to make it work. they try to replicate some of the dates and dances from book #1 but there's an almost tangible shadow over their relationship now. and maybe one day feyre sees a memorial for andras or a likeness to one of the high fae living in the spring court to one of the high fae she killed utm, and has a panic attack. and this serves as the catalyst that severs feylin's relationship and reveals that yes, their love broke a curse, their love saved prythian but it couldn't (and shouldn't) heal them.

i love how season two jon will play recordings of his very concerned and or very angry coworkers saying things like “i wish this poor little man would go to therapy im so incredibly concerned about his mental and physical well being” and “HES LITERALLY STALKING ME. I LIVE IN FEAR. HES IN MY WALLS.” and respond to it like “hmmmm i gotta be sneakier. the twink is out to kill me i know it. im gonna go break into a dead woman’s apartment.”

Regressor Tanjiro & caregiver Tengen vent hc’s
Tw: vent post, injuries, just overall angst
~~~
~The first time Tanjiro vent regressed he showed up and Tengen’s door covered in blood and dirt after a mission and Tengen was ready to go out and throw hands at whoever hurt the boy. It was only after his wives pointed out to him that going out and looking for a fight would in fact not calm the baby down and would probably do more harm than good.
~Little Tanjiro who can’t tolerate any pain, what so ever. Tiny paper cut? He’s going to start bawling. Stubbed toe? It’s the end of the world actually. The only thing that will calm him down is multiple very colorful bandages and a plethora of kisses peppered onto his skin.
~Worried that none of his friends actually like him. Scared that he’s being a nuisance and despite him coming over to Tengen’s more times than not after a mission and the man explaining that he loves to watch over him he still thinks he isn’t worth it.
~It breaks his caregiver’s heart to hear his sweet boy crying and talking so horribly about himself but telling him to stop is somehow worse because if Tanjiro doesn’t vent now he won’t say anything to anyone and keep everything bottled up.
~Tengen’s found out through trial and error that the best and simplest thing to calm Tanjiro down it to walk around with the boy in his arms. Just softly bouncing him and rambling about everything and nothing till the teen can focus again on his words
~Tanjiro doesn’t sleep well without others in the room. He grew up snuggling with his siblings and now travels with three others who have no concept of personal space. This only gets worse when he’s small feeling too lonely to fall asleep.
~Tengen who refuses to let Tanjiro sleep in his and his wives room. Nope. Doesn’t matter how small Tanjiro is regressed- it’s not happening. They have a guest room for a reason. Or at least that’s what Tengen tried to enforce. It only took about two nights of no sleep due to Tanjiro waking up screaming and crying from nightmares subsequently waking up the whole household and leading no one to get any sleep, plus his wives to express their utmost disappointment for the man to bring the little one’s futon into their room.

Well, well, well, if this isn’t the consequences of my own actions (I decided to reread A little life and had two breakdowns within the first 30 pages)

DAY 71:
been thinking about satou family resemblance a lot lately. all of the words transcribed + also some extra thoughts below the cut
regarding: gashu
i keep saying that more people would like him if he had longer hair. i stand by this statement.
if i drew him realistically, gashu's hair would be akin to a very dark brown. i will never draw him realistically though so this means nothing.
gashu wouldn't grow thick body hair. the crabstache is a culmination of years of hard work.
regarding: kai
kai has thicker lips and thicker eyebrows. has absolutely no intentions of growing facial hair of any kind. eyes are softer. has a wider face
has some wrinkles and grey hair. he's what, 30? i think he deserves it.
is fully aware how much he looks and stands and walks like his father. tries very hard to disconnect himself from this.
regarding: both:
both have rather long, slim faces + pronounced cheekbones.
hair type is very similar, i think that they both have wavy hair but gashu greases his down enough so that nothing shows.
have similar noses; gashu's is more bony from age. on a similar note, gashu is more bony overall, looks somewhat... shrunken. Empty?
eyes are very similar.
have the same front hair part. forgot the word.
have very similar body frames
extra thoughts: i think both of them are approximately the same height. both have an inclination towards eyebags. gashu's are far more pronounced. i might talk about them more and possibly even sei whenever i next get the energy to draw anything. they both have strangely thick hair. gashu's has thinned over time. he might have a bald spot on the back of his head but i'm not sure. i'll need to replay yttd to say this but their speaking mannerisms are VERY similar. they have an interesting cadence and order of words. autism, perhaps? they both also hold their hands in front of or behind them... very similar!

Taylor posted his photos at the GQ event on his little red book account, and asked if we preferred the white or the purple outfit (he didn't include any photos of the brown suit 😂😂😂)
So... Here's a little poll? For fun?
Also he's going live at 1800 from Shanghai, but I don't know which platform he's gonna use (he has little red book and bilibili, but I only have access to bilibili)
Either way I'll see what I can do about it!
