I just want a fic where Vincenzo lives forever or something idk, he's a demon an angel who can't die, and he meets Hong Soocheol, and his frozen heart aches because that's his little brother reincarnated,,,,,,,,,,,, (for logistics reasons this fic takes place many many years later bc)
Fun thing to think about it regards to replacement ingo . Considering how bad Emmet is at lying/acting in general he'd probably have fucked up all his social relationships by like month 6. From one day to the next he's just?? Inexplicably adverse to his brother all the sudden. Doesn't really talk to him makes up an excuse to leave whenever he enters a room. Everyone assumes that they just had a big fight but as Emmet gets progressively more paranoid and withdrawn, probably starts being really loose with the coverup thing out of desperation to have any sort of healthy outlet for grieving and starts telling people that he [sugar] is NOT ingo. Which is true but probably makes everyone else assume he's insane
Okay, so now people are going from "The jedi never did anything wrong ever and are perfect and flawless and made zero mistakes and literally everything was Palpatine's fault even when there were moments he was clearly speed-chess-ing to account for the unexpected," a kinda dumb but not unreasonable take, to "Everything is Anakin's fault and he never had the potential to be better and we're just gonna ignore his slave upbringing and Palpatine's influence and just decide he was always the worst person alive and his redemption at the end-" (which I will admit was kinda small in comparison to his crimes, but also was still the centerpiece of the movies that are the centerpiece of the franchise) "-does not matter at all, fuck that guy, and also the Jedi are still 100% perfect btw". And I do not like that.

I really don't wanna get into the weeds here, but there's something about this that really doesn't sit right with me. I will happily call Kylo Ren a neo-nazi school shooter all day, because his awfulness was established and reinforced as his own choice, (no matter what RoS may retroactively claim) and while I could understand the argument for Palpatine being to blame for literally everything in the Prequels, (he is the big bad for a reason, after all) and I won't deny that Darth-youngling-slayer-Vader isn't even remotely close to innocent either; idunno, it still feels off.
There's just, this weird undercurrent of pushing the blame, or the idea the Jedi may have been even the teensiest tiniest bit less than perfect, or provided any ammunition for Palpatine to use against them, off to anyone and everyone else. And not only does it feel divorced from the actual subtext or even text of the Prequel Trilogy, the context of all the different factors that led to Anakin becoming Vader, (some of which he was responsible for, some of which he was not) or the ending of RotJ; but it also just feels increasingly bizarre outside of that. Like y'all are projecting onto the Jedi so hard that anything said against them feels like a personal attack, and the response is to refuse all responsibility on their behalf. And pardon the pun, but that feels very irresponsible when taking into account the political aspect of some of what the prequels were trying to say about complacence in the face of rising fascism.
I can sorta get why people would be like this, I have heard horror stories about Karen Traviss's Jedi-bashing nonsense, but this is going too far in the other direction at this point. I can also understand how RoS dropping the ball with TLJ's setup could aid in this, since I think TLJ's overall point that the Jedi are still good, but do severely need to evolve and change, was undercut by JJ's own blind worship. But that doesn't make the point any less valid at the end of the day, you're just missing it completely.
I got yelled at by my (to be former) psychiatrist today. one of the things she got upset about was my depression and anxiety getting better. why? bc I improved while off medication.
the American mental "healthcare" system is a fucking joke and I'm not laughing.
Okay but I think if Zain and Sullivan got together it would be purely because Evie keeps introducing them under the bathroom door like a couple of cats, because the more I watch them interact in my head, the more intimidated they are by each other.
look i know it's been years but the thing that really pisses me off abt the jane the virgin ending is that, like..... I get it. I get what you were trying to do. you had the main character trying to decide between the safe but boring thing (teaching/michael) and the exciting but risky thing (writing/rafael) yes narratively it makes sense i get it. Did you also need to make him treat her like shit tho? like what was the narrative purpose of your leading man being straight up garbage i don't understand
kstarlights were right all along hating anyone that speaks english bc no matter how much these lil men show they don't give a fuck abt anyone but themselves some bitch from america or europe has to type out how theyre real fans for blindly absolving licherally anything a 3rd rate idol does. i'd be mad as hell too if i got online and saw someone w the moral backbone of a chocolate eclair treating what's essentially an LA influencer like god
My mom is finally being nice about binary trans people which is cool. Except she is now infuriated by the concept of nonbinary people and genderfluid people. It just kind of. Shifted. To the thing I am. And I should probably process that but instead I've been blogging woot
me when my ostupid gay sonic beefcake roommate texted me to tell me my crazy roommate is sad and they gave all of their animals away because they felt so bad about letting them escape and they cant find a place to move out to even though ive been telling them to look since APRIL and that i need to help them because they feel bad and ii need to be responsible for making everyone feel okay and solve all of tyheir problems i fucking guess and i reach out to tell them that im not mad at them and its fine and ill help them move and anything we've been mad at them about is kind of whatever because we havent really communicated that we're mad (even though like saying youre gonna have one rabbit and then buying 15 reptiles and hoarding and abusing them is rude and putting a hole in our living room wall with your chair becasue you hog the entire living and dining room to make fursuits and are sitting out there 24/7 is rude and piling up your hoarded garbage all over the house is rude but like we didnt tell them that so i guess its fine) and they dont respond and continue to avoid me and give me the silent treatment
