#only to be proven right

[brindlestorm]

One of the worst things about having memory problems (for me at least) is when you have a totally mundane memory about something that somehow manage to stick with you for so long and someone says “that was never a thing”, so you spend months or years thinking it’s not real and you just made it up until someone else comes along and says “yeah I totally remember [x] thing, loved/hated that stuff growing up”.

And then suddenly you have validation that its real so you start questioning everything else people told you wasn’t real and leads to more and more anxiety as your world kind of crumbles without actually falling apart if that makes sense.

#brindle speaks #My friends mom also has memory problems so i do my absolute best to help her keep track of certain things #but my best isn't all that great because I got the same problem #so it'll be random stuff that i notice or happened to remember out of the blue #any way #the thing that prompted this post was my boyfriend telling me he remembered having the same kind of kids cold medicine that i did #it was a dissolvable almost sticker like thing that you put on your tongue #I think it was mostly for kids that had troubles with the tase of most liquid medicines #None of my friend's knew what it was #so i assumed it was just a weird thing my brain made up #the mandela effect is a curse to people with memory problems #anyway boyf knew exactly what i was talking about #and i never felt more validated #like seriously #you have no idea how upsetting it can be to be repeatedly told that you're misremembering something #only to be proven right #on the inside im just screaming I TOLD YOU SO #because for once in my life I actually remembered something

Great time to remember that, in the books, Percy didn’t actually come to understand just how terrible the gods are (as a whole) until The Last Olympian. And he didn’t start to get bitter as hell about it until even after that. The show is doing a great job of setting this up, in my opinion.

#I’m begging you people please reread the books if you can #remember we’re only on season ONE!! #and let’s not forget that Percy equated Zeus to a monster without even having met the guy and then was proven RIGHT #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #percy jackson #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation #pjo disney+ #pjo season 1 #the last olympian #the lightning thief

I truly believe that nona is alecto/the body for the very simple and vitally important reason that harrow and nona/alecto/the body will meet at some point and harrow will be like O immortal Body, I have kept troth with you these many long and darkling years, I have sworn my heart, worthless thing though it may be, to you, I cast my fragile and aching body at your feet (and etc etc)

and the Body will look at her with those ineffable golden eyes and open her imperfectly beautiful mouth and say, her own true voice ringing out in harrow's ears for the very first time, "Hi! I like dogs, do you like dogs? I kissed you in the mirror once. Do you want to be best friends?"

And harrow will instantly be like Ohhh :/// I'm cured. I'm not in love with her anymore. where's gideon. ianthe? anyone.

#i've thought about it. A LOT. and i just think the best and funniest possible resolution to harrow's fixation on the body #would be for the body to be kind of uncool. not evil or creepy but just a little weird. perhaps a bit silly. #harrow has never heard her real voice so i very much think that the first time the body speaks #she should say something astonishingly cringey #also IMAGINE how harrow would feel if she found out that Body not only lived but that she had lived again literally IN harrow's body #BUT she was kind of a weird little freak who really liked dogs #i think harrow would be cured instantly and i think it would be very very funny #and probably really good for her #everyone is all like Ohhh alecto will be a sexy scary mysterious monster lady #but no. i think she will be a very weird funky girl. i think she will be Nice. #i think john offered her biscuits once and she said oh! you mean cookies? and john said tomb. teN THOUSAND YEARS. #i eagerly await being proven totally and fully right and correct on this matter #anyway as i said i have thought about this A Lot #the locked tomb #things you didn't care to know about veronica

of ten’s companions, if the doctor couldn’t handle losing them and crossed his own timeline to trick them into traveling with future!him instead of past!him so that he’d have a little more time with them:

rose would do it. first because bless her but she has the situational awareness of a rock, and legitimately would not realize this isn’t her doctor until his facade starts to break down and he starts bleeding grief-laced love for her at every turn. but once she does realize it, she’s both deeply sympathetic and a little scared that she could make him into this. it’s a lot to be confronted with having that much power over someone, to break them so thoroughly. rose would try to get back to her doctor, but while she’s with the future version, she tries to do what she can to ease his pain. (she also tries to figure out a way to subvert her fate. she fails.)

i think martha would be harder to trick. she can smell desperation on the doctor like a bloodhound. she is so tapped into the fact that this man wants to off himself so bad and that she’s 90% of his self-restraint, so present her with a doctor who is lacking that and she’s onto him immediately. however, assuming he gets her to come with him, explains why he’s doing this, there’s like. a minute where she’s kind of. not flattered exactly, but surprised, giddy with the realization that he’d come back for a little more time with her, especially if this is early season 3 martha. which would all come crashing down around the time that he reveals that he wasn’t pushed to this by losing her to some tragedy or her death or anything- but that she chose to leave. that is the point at which martha goes ‘oh i need to get the fuck off of this tardis right now’ and ghosts the past!doctor that she was also traveling with because holy shit, man.

donna, like rose, is easily bamboozled into following the wrong doctor home, provided that he shuffles her along into his tardis too fast for her to argue. but she catches on far quicker than rose does. like, three minutes tops of watching the doctor move through the tardis in a way that’s definitely not enthusiastic piloting and looks more like guilty panic. and then she yells at him for lying to her. and she yells at him for kidnapping her. and then she stops yelling because he’s gone sort of still and quiet and his eyes are just broken. and he doesn’t explain himself, he confesses. donna is going to try to stay with him after this btw. because how do you go back to looking your best friend in the eyes when you know he’d take everything you’ve become away from you, even to save your life? and this is still the doctor, he still did that to her, but he regrets it. regrets it so much that he can’t live with it, he’s breaking time and space just to hear her say his name again. and donna doesn’t want to lose him anymore than he wanted to lose her.

#i am so enthralled by this concept you have no idea #also like. i mentioned in rose’s section how this is a genuinely scary situation for her. #but to be clear. it is for all three of them the moment they realize that this Is Not Their Doctor #because theyre suddenly on a ship going through time ans space with. almost a stranger. and one who has proven that he’s break laws #fundamental to his worldview rather than let them go #doctor who #rose tyler #martha jones #martha girl get the fuck out of there oh my god #the doctor comes out looking the worst in her section rip to him for not handling her leaving him in a normal and healthy way very well #i think it would be very funny if the doctor said goodbye to her and then immediately went. ‘oh! right! martha is the only thing keeping me #from jumping off a cliff! brb i need to get martha back at whatever cost!’ sir go to therapy #donna noble #also also to be clear im not trying to insult rose in her section thats just how she is #remember that time her boyfriend turned into plastic in front of her and she. didnt notice. or that time the doctor was being strangled in #the other room and she. didnt notice. #rose tyler girl that you are. you never know what the fuck is going on around you and i love you for that. how are you still alive. #REMEMBER THAT TIME SHE GOT BACK FROM AN ALTERNATE DIMENSION AND DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THE DALEK ABOUT TO SHOOT THE DOCTOR IN THE FACE #ROSE TYLER. GIRL. LOOK LEFT AND RIGHT BEFORE CROSSING A STREET AT LEAST #donna’s here is the most fucked up i think because even if this situation is ‘resolved’ and she goes back to her doctor like. how does she #keep going with that fact in the back of her mind at all times. that he can and will do this to her. that he’ll take himself and everything #else away from her while she begs him not to. #angst <3

i told myself that yakuei only had one position then i proved myself (sorta) wrong

my fave face here:

#technically... if they were boinking in outer space... a lot of these would be the same position #makes a rotate-y gesture with my fingers #what is yakumo's kabedon if not a vertical missionary #so i've half proven myself right AND wrong! i'm net neutral in outer space broskis!!!!! #zizz-asdf if ur reading these tags i'll have u know that u inspired me to Do the Research1 #like. 5 garu riding eiden? no. it can't be. does yaku do one specific thing with eiden 5 times? *tries to write it down* #i can't quite... what's the word for that position...uhhhh #ah forget it i'll just draw it out #<- that was the process of creating this. collage? 😆 #THE MATRIX OF YAKUEI BOINKINg POSITIONS (under construction) #when u about to be semi-normal and make a spreadsheet but ur sexcabulary is stunted so you resort to visuals instead #legit opening up every intimacy room and skipping thru sections to get as complete a picture as possible #wondering... where are yaku's feet planted in this one. (skips to 8minute mark) #ah! there they are. theyre not supporting his weight in this one *draws it* #while drawing crimson phantom room 2 my brow was furrowed and i was mentally narrating #[and this one i affectionately call.. rectal exam - professional misconduct Grounds for Termination)] #surprised they str8 up havent done classicdoggstyle yet. is it because he's a snake? garu should teach him #also surprised that there's been no Light SSR for yaku yet. come on!! Light mode on the double! #uhhh i think the only repeated positions were freestanding (choco liqueur r2 and dark nova r2) #and standing AGAINST! THE! WALL! (choco liqueur r5 {interior} and shadow lineage r5 {cave}) #wait. *throws papers around* i swear they did missionary more than once. was it only ocean breeze??? #i know with the intimacy rooms they gotta modify the positions into certain angles to make it...look...better #but seriously? only one missionary out of the lot of them? despite the aesthetic tweaks??? how can that ........ #*tosses more papers around with increasing befuddlement* WHERE IS MY PURE 100% VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM #sighs as all the papers lie scattered on the ground #dude... i don't know anymore..... this is beyond my scope #now that i see how evenly spread out the positions are... #i BET the devs have SOME SORTA CHART tracking yaku's positions. now THAT'S a funky office corkboard! #yakuei

#alt with eyes hidden under the cut #cofagrigus #their eyes are shiny. made of plastic. so they're looking a little bright. apologies for this #so. generally when i have quarrels about the pronunciation of a pokémon's name (since i don't watch anipoké) #where someone else and i pronounce the same pokémon's name differently. which doesn't happen very often‚ since typically i talk about #pokémon mostly entirely in text. because most of the communication about things i like happens in text. and the pokémon games #are not voice acted. so pronunciation of their names is sparse and sometimes limited to anipoké but even they're inconsistent i think #but whenever i have quarrels about the pronunciation of a name. someone else and i pronounce it differently. i go to pokédex 3d pro #on the 3ds. because every time you go to a pokémon's dex entry‚ the pokédex guy says their name out loud #i basically treat this as gospel for how to pronounce pokémon names. i've been proven wrong a lot but i've also been proven right a lot #and this guy. oooohhh this guy. before pokédex 3d pro i pronounced this guy's name as though the F-slur was right in the middle #only recently did i learn that it kinda sounds like “grievous‚” [kʰɐ.fə.'gɻiː.gəs] #at least. that's how the pokédex 3d pro guy says it #whereas i had been pronouncing it [kʰow.'fæg.ɻɪ.gəs]. so. you can see the issue that arises with that pronunciation #a lot of these pronunciations that i have to double-check just live in my head. and it's only when i say them out loud that i realize #how i'm saying them. like how i pronounce “centiskorch” as [sɑ̃.t͡si̠.skoʁʃ] for some fucking reason. my brain sees it and is like #yeah that's? a french word? even though it looks nothing like one #i also tend to pronounce “grumpig” as ['gʀʊm.pɪç] because of the “ig” at the end. i guess. german instinct #of course these are pronunciations i never say out loud but the first time i Have to say this pokémon's name out loud i'll go #oh yeah! it's not pronounced like that. i should probably not say that #and then i do not. just a fun little story about my twisted and fucked up mind. a little peek into my enigmatic brainspace #jesus christ these are some of the longest tags i've ever written. i'm gonna stop

tras trying to claim something is a human rights violation against trans people when it also affects every other citizen is so funny like...yeah we know you're human too but how is that specifically about trans people come on now 😭

#'we lack the right to abortions' no only females can experience that not just trans people #'we lack the right to marry' not even true #'we lack the right of bodily automony' children being denied medical transition bc its not proven to help them and lacks scientific backing #is not a human rights violation #'we lack the right to compete in sports' no you don't its just sex based #'we lack the right to education' again no you don't lmao and schools refusing to teach queer theory to children also isn't a human rights #violation #homophobic? more accurate considering the circumstances #again again again nothing is a human rights violation trans people have rights yall just wanna complain 😭 #the closest one that possibly could be considered is the ban on expression/clothing in some states that are in govt seshs rn #closest one that i could see harming many people and being a clear constitutional violation especially #that's it tho...and considering so many US trans people wanna claim theres a genocide going on...yeah sure

I had this realization a long time ago. If you're not familiar, that's Riley's dad from Inside Out!

Fun fact: in the short "Riley's First Date?", it's revealed that Riley's dad used to play in a band. And he used to play a lot of AC/DC. Then we see him (and Riley's friend/date?, who also plays in a band) rocking to Back in Black:

I can't for the life of me find the full short, the one I saw on Youtube has probably been deleted 🥲 but it's a pretty funny and cute short! I think there are a few clips on Youtube at least.

DO NOT REPOST!

Hate will be blocked.

Okay, so, picture this!

The Bay Turtles having constant theories about who Spider-Man reader is under the mask, but none of them have not a single clue that it’s actually their friend. Reason? Because they have the agility of a rock and the pose of a gremlin that woke up from a thousand year hibernation.

#the only person who ever got close enough to guessing right was Raph but it was a half ass joke #their point was proven when all four looked over to see reader try and completely fail to throw popcorn in the air and catch w/ their mouth #it hit them square in the eye #if there was any sliver of thought from the boys that they could be it went straight out the window #reader is aware of this and actively does things to mess with them #even gets in on it when they start having another theory talk #just mischievous spiderman reader #bayverse tmnt x reader #spiderman reader #tmnt spiderman au

How do you get characterization so PERFECT?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!? HOW PLEASE ITS SO BEAURIFUL MY EYES TURNED TO TEARS PLEASE

i'm not sure if i'd say Perfect but thank you! accurate characterization is very important to me, and one of my favorite things to do is analyze the shit out of characters until i feel like i Know Them

#this is actually why yall havent gotten an actual welcome home fic outta me yet #i feel like i have a better grasp on everyone but mmmmm im missing important pieces to fully Understand yk #ive been fascinated with picking apart characters for years and years #i remember being a freshman in highschool deconstructing bakugo until i was like 'oh ok im the only bitch who gets him. ok' #and i have only ever been proven right and vindicated Since! #but i try i try #if im making something thats actively memey i let myself be a little lax on characterization #but the rest of the time im like This Needs To Be As On Point As I Can Manage #for myself! for others! for the Source! #rambles from the bog #something that helps me stay focused and determined #is asking myself 'how would it feel to have people mischaracterize MY brain guys' #and then my soul shrivels up and i start studying whoever im writing lmao #im always scared that im falling short... i hate writing things that are ooc...

i dont really see people talk about this or even put this in fics, but i really feel like none of the marooned crew would even suspect that ed has gone kraken. (obviously lucius, jim and frenchie know but they dont count rn since stede's presumably not going to run into them right away). for everyone who got to know blackbeard as this nerdy enthusiastic sweetheart and then found themselves dumped unceremoniously on an island and left to die... i feel like their assumption would have to be that it was all izzy's doing.

izzy has antagonized and bullied the crew from the start. sure he's incompetent, but in this case, i feel like "izzy overpowered ed and marooned us" would seem like a much more plausible scenario than what actually happened. presumably, none of the crew saw ed at all as they were throwing out stede's stuff. for all they know, ed could have been thrown overboard! or locked in the brig! who knows? they sure don't!

which puts them in a position where they would see izzy as this big bad antagonist and have to explain to stede that he's holding ed hostage and they have to RESCUE HIM! which would be extremely funny when they show up and find out that they were, in fact, QUITE MISTAKEN. i feel like that level of misunderstanding would make for some excellent drama. because having watched this show so many times, i don't see any clue, any clue at all, that would tip off the marooned crew that ed had anything to do with this.
