I’m tired of the “scout has low pain tolerance” and “scout is afraid of medic” (along with the other mercs) trend
Like, you think the youngest of eight brothers wouldn’t walk off a jaw shattering punch to the face?? You think the guy who runs in-between bullets would fold immediately after being skimmed in the arm?? The man literally runs head first into danger and you’re gonna tell me he has low pain tolerance?? HE’S THE ONE ACTIVELY RUNNING INTO IT!! He was shot in the stomach by a robot and literally didn’t complain about it despite the fact he was actively dying!!
Like I get the joke of him being good against terrible mounts of pain but folding at something like a paper cut but I’m tired of people saying he wouldn’t be able to handle himself from a sizable injury despite the fact that’s an expectation of his job.
And none of the mercs hate medic or are scared of him, I’m tired of seeing that discussion. Scout, who was the first person after Heavy to get the Uber-transplant heart—you think he’s scared of medic?? that man probably fought tooth and nail to be the first one in there!! he may be childish but he is not a child and im tired of these seemingly child-like traits be assigned to him despite the fact there is evidence against it :,)

Little lunchbreak sketches for Vault 666.
Featuring:
Val’s shitty little ponytail that got hidden by his robe fluff in the Vees pic
Velvette pulling the ghoul body horror card to get Vox to play dress-up
When your party’s Survival Expert demonstrates how to properly field dress meat for preservation... Using a Raider (and now everyone is thinking back to all the times he has cooked for them unsupervised)
Dialogue between Velvette and Vox:
Velvette: I’m bored. Let me paint your nails.
Vox: What? No. Paint your own fucking nails
Velvette: They all fell out. Now stop being a little bitch and give me your hands.
Vox: *instant regret*

Passing out soon as it's 8am and I haven't slept at all but um... idk.
AU where Lily is a "retired" captain, not because of age, but because he's been let go. He was caught with another man, and some of his crew mutinied, threw him overboard and tried to make it look like an accident. Lily was dashed against the rocks, scarred his face up pretty badly, took one of his eyes. The men were charged, of course, but Lily couldn't go back. His reputation was ruined and now his eyesight wasn't good enough for the Navy.
So he takes charge of a lighthouse. It's offshore, but not by much. Just enough for a bridge to connect the little island to the mainland, though, the high tide drowns it every time it comes in. Lily is alone there, and lonely, but he's safe.
Anyway... yeah. Imagine someone being assigned there. Having to work with this man who is desperately trying to prove that this old lighthouse is worth keeping around. Someone who knows his livelihood is at stake if things don't go exactly as they have always gone. This rugged man who is so, so scared.

Horrid Henry spoilers‼️‼️
I saw someone say that apparently people see Paul as a dad figure to Henry?
Don’t get me wrong I adore how much better their relationship has gotten since season one and they’re now soliditary but they’ve still quite a bit to go I think
And of course I’m not finished with the series so my opinion may change as time goes on- but Paul is probably much more like a cool cousin or even a siblingish figure? or something rather than dad
Hc Paul does end up apologizing properly to Henry for how he was at some point though because god did i despise how horrible he was to Henry
Very glad they chose to make him realize Henry isn’t all that bad as he thought though<3
Also what relation does Polly/paul have to Henry’s family is of them like a cousin or just a close family friend or 😭😭
Also picture of Henry I like

🌼 — you’re my buttercup!
a headcanon about a nickname my muse has had, or has and who gave it to them? why? how does it make them feel?
'Tsuna' isn't her birth name, but rather one that she was given by her okiya "mother". When a girl becomes a maiko, or an apprentice geiko, she takes on a professional name (geimei or, in older usage, geimyou, "artistic name") to symbolize her new life. *
Her true birth name was given to her by her father, who she considers a craven for abandoning her and her mother when they needed him most, therefore she took on the new name without hesitation. There was a symbolic nature of it that she couldn't deny; it was like a cutting of the hair-- a start of a new life unfettered by her childhood grief.
As there is no one left to call her by her birth name (aside from her father) she is content to let the truth die with her. Tsuna suits her just fine as far as she is concerned.

“what’s on your mind?”
me: *thoughts of my dream life. the life of living out my lucrative dream career and shopping everyday as a reward. coming home to my beautiful penthouse. undressing myself and bathing in yummy body products. adorning myself in my own brand of teddies and robes. lighting my sweet candles. playing my vintage pretty girl CDs. laying in my plush leopard print california king bed. being happy. relaxing and enjoying my space. my energy. my accomplishments.*

i think i figured out why i have such a distaste for those stupid pikaman ads
the original funny of that first ad was just hey look at this weird photo of a pikachu cosplay. and it didn't become a big joke because it had any sort of personality, it was just a weird photo.
but they keep trying to give this guy a personality and make him a mascot, they're trying to force a community to feel a certain way about what was just a weird photo. and the fact that most of the use of this mascot stuff is just ads doesn't help

hi caroline can i vent to you a lil bit? i just saw a post with a terrible take about BE and juwon part specifically irked me, probably due to personal experience, so i wanted to share my pov with you.
the post -among many other things- said that juwon had ocd and it was terrible that the writers went "yeah let's just force him to stop by the end of it" and tbh I didn't get it, i always thought that when juwon said "mysophobia, I don't have it" he was right. ocd is an anxiety related issue and my boi definitely has that and it's quite bad yeah. But i always felt like it was due to the fact he was striving to uphold the standards of perfection his father has been projecting onto him since he was a kid. As much as juwon hated him he still tried his best to do everything he could in order to get some sort of praise or acknowledgment from his absent father. So that's why in the end he slowly learns to let go of all of that, he must have felt like a weight was lifted from his shoulders. He's a complex multidimensional character and both the writer and the director did a brilliant job with BE.
Sorry if i bothered you, I'm probably exactly like that post "why do you like him?" or smth and with ds it's just "look at him❤️" and with jw it's an entire paragraph. yup relatable indeed aldhakd
hi anon! oh, i think i know the post you're talking about, because i remember reading something along those lines pretty early when i was getting into beyond evil . . .
also, this got long. maybe because i have a lot of thoughts + also because i wound up talking more about mental illness rep in beyond evil as a whole:
but like. hm. yes, i absolutely agree with you because while i might not have ocd myself, i do have family members + friends with ocd, and i also have pretty severe anxiety + i used to struggle with an eating disorder, which overlapped with some ocd tendencies (at least, according to what my friends/family struggling with ocd told me from their own perception of me). because of that, i absolutely saw joo won and his tendencies and realized that. like. yeah, a lot of his behaviors can absolutely stem from anxiety-driven issues like ocd.
i think what makes me personally upset about the kind of "ugh the writers just dropped joo won's ocd storyline" is that it totally misses the fact that not all mental illnesses or disabilities are quite the same. because mental illnesses like ocd or anxiety disorder or panic attack disorder are actually mental illnesses that people want to better cope with/somehow heal from. when i was younger, i remember being told by someone who was also struggling with similar mental illnesses as mine that "yeah, you're never gonna get 'better'--this thing is gonna stick with you forever", and as a teenager, that really made me scared about like. oh my god. am i going to personally be living this weird half-life for the rest of my days? that's terrible.
but of course, that's not true! yeah, people with mental illnesses like ocd, anxiety, depression, etc--they all struggle from time to time, and that def. all varies with different degrees of stress (ie. my own anxiety and depression gets significantly worse when i've encountered a triggering situation, and my own past eating disorder tendencies like to pop in when i'm feeling stressed out with work/school/etc). but the thing about these mental illnesses is that you can get better, usually with the help of therapy, medication, a support system and, as cheesy as it sounds (but it's true!), compassion and love for yourself.
in the case of han joo won, who has clearly never had a very stable family or friends situation, it would make sense that his own ocd or other unspecified mental illness would be pretty severe at the start of the show. we've seen how he was raised, even if only for 5 minutes--we see his interactions with his father. it seems that his family also has some history of mental illness too, given how his mom was.
but the great thing about the show is that over the course of the series, joo won gets some greater sense of support and love than he had felt in his entire life. even when he was still being a jerk, the station was so accommodating to joo won (ie. chief nam cleaning out the bathroom for joo won if he wanted to take a shower, and then even later, ji hwa telling jae yi that wait, inspector han needs new bowls in a totally nonjudgmental manner).
the thing about han joo won no longer struggling as severely with his ocd is simply because he's received more support. he's found people who seem to genuinely care about him, and i think along the way, he subconsciously started to let go of his tendencies. his entire dirty history is out there--and unlike han ki hwan, who was so obsessed with perfection, the manyang gang love and appreciate han joo won anyways, annoying attitude + messy mistakes + all. ofc, love doesn't "fix" a mental illness, but it helps one get better, because that's what a support system is all about.
it's also worth noting that, like, beyond evil is a show that's very conscious about the discussion around mental illnesses. dong sik pretty clearly struggles with some kind of ptsd, and jeong je pretty clearly struggles with his own depression, and even oh ji hoon's mentioned in passing about struggling with depression. but what i like about beyond evil is that writer kim su jin and director shim na yeon and the entire cast also seemed pretty intent about those depictions of mental illness--oh ji hoon's a pretty sunshine-y looking guy, for starters, all smiles and cheer, which is the exact opposite people assume of those struggling with depression. (the most frustrating thing a depressed person can hear is oh, you don't look like you have depression though?) as for dong sik, we see him pretty clearly struggling on his own (crying alone in the basement, tucking himself away when he's grieving, the fact that he sleeps on the couch without any heat speaks volumes about how little he cares about himself), but as soon as he's around friends or his loved ones, he automatically puts on a whole act. as for jeong je, we see that he's a pretty timid guy, maybe the kind of more expected representation we see of depression and/or anxiety, but maybe that makes a little more sense, given his relationship with an overbearing mother who never really . . . allowed him to heal or get better, even despite sending him to all those doctors.
in short, i think that it's pretty unfair + also kinda narrow-minded to act like writer kim su jin dropped joo won's ocd line. she's been super intentional with everything in beyond evil, and the fact that joo won slowly loosens up on his tendencies was just another factor that really demonstrated how he'd started to get more comfortable around people who actually liked him for who he is, not for this perfect, logical robot that he was pressured into being. human beings are messy! for han joo won, who cries when he's frustrated or angry or getting scolded, being loved and respected and liked gave him enough reason to let go of his own ocd tendencies and get better.
