dove hasnt done shit in months and miley really saw that opportunity and said im gonna recharge your hyperfixation full force

fr tho ik ive talked about this quite a bit but it hit me in the face around this time last year, again in february with the grammys + 10th anniversary of the bangerz tour, and again this past weekend with the two hm movies at el cap: im realizing ive put miley on the back burner much more than i wouldve liked to these past few years, mostly bc of dove, and i want to commit to changing that. ofc dove still means the world to me, but i wanna continue to work on ways that they can BOTH be ever present in my life.

As someone who is a survivor of many abuses Astarion made me feel cathartic and seen. He became one of my ultimate comfort characters because I see myself through him. He made me realized what I've felt was valid and I shouldn't blame myself for going through a lot of trauma because it wasn't my fault. He made me really inspired on how to handle my own trauma.

Stephen Rooney and Neil Newbon did an incredible job for making this character feel alive and relatable to anyone who experienced the same.

Dove “never played a straight character in her life” Cameron saying that Maddie went off to college and wondered why she was ever dating boys, Liv went off to New York and realized she was bi, and that Mal was definitely in love with Evie.

currently reading loveless by alice oseman and can I just say

spoilers ahead//

rooney and pip have such a sweet relationship like the slow progression of them bantering out of their individual denial of their feelings for eachother to them accepting their feelings and also becoming more emotionally open and vulnerable

the scene where rooney opens up about her trauma and the shitty relationship she had with her boyfriend and all pip wants to do is hug her but isn't sure about it because she doesn't want it seem like she's pitying Rooney

like they're so fucking sweet

Stephen Rooney deserves to feel pride in how he wrote Astarion's climactic scene. Every single option of dialogue is just gut-wrenching. What an amazing writer 🩷

i don't know what the internet's current opinion on sally rooney is but the way she's able to make me squirm like a teenage girl again is Unmatched

#i think she's one of those authors a lot of 'goodreads snobs' like to shit on cause she writes simple stories about love #that are less about the plot and more about the Vibes. the Longing. the What Ifs #'normal people' was one of my favourite books of the year and now 'beautiful world where are you'...... miss rooney you have no right!!!! #i WILL gush over this book because it makes me feel all tingly inside and i will NOT feel sorry about it!!!! #i don't know why i feel this need to defend her but the main character said something about herself that was so Me.... i can't get over it #idk i'm only halfway through and ik this isn't the pinnacle of great writing and her main characters are a bit repetitive #but her books make me want to fall in love again and have summer crushes and feel butterflies in my stomach and what's nicer than that? #justine rambles #sally rooney #beautiful world where are you

[the-blue-wraith]

When you're living in a household full of cruelty and bitterness and you were never given any kindness, you'll believe the world hates you for being who you are. You'll believe you don't deserve any kindness because the people around you never gave you that. When you see someone being kind and gentle you can't help but feel disgusted. As a child, I experienced this and I hated the world. In Astarion’s perspective, I definitely understood that. This part of his narrative is really relatable to me because I've been there.

He hated when your Tav helped people and treated them with kindness because he was never given any of that when he needed the most. No one came to him during his lowest moments. Until he met Tav who originally he planned on seducing them so they would protect him, and the first person who treated him with genuine kindness. After facing Cazador he realized he can be much more than what he was made for, someone who can break the cycle of terror that he endured for 200 years. He had nothing for so long, with his freedom he can finally start healing and be able to make decisions for himself. He will never be used as a toy anymore because he is his own person now.

I have never loved a character like this before. His story means so much for trauma survivors just like me. Astarion means so much to me and I'll be forever grateful for knowing this character.

Some random Rooney and Jack lore for the Jack Lives AU:

Rooney and Jack have always been close, even as young kids. They often hung out together along with their cousin, Danny. It wasn't uncommon to see the three causing trouble together as kids. 

Rooney is very protective of Jack, and vice versa. Considering all the two have been through, it’s not surprising that both are fiercely protective of each other. (Although, Rooney can be a little too protective, especially when they try to shield Jack from things he should know about.)

Since this is an AU, Jack survives his wounds from the attack on their hometown. Rooney gives him first aid, and Jack holds on until the Nomads arrive and get him medical attention.

When the two leave the Nomads and settle in Northern California, Rooney encourages Jack to continue his education. Jack has always been fantastic with technology and machines, and Rooney doesn’t want to see his skills go to waste. Jack eventually becomes an engineer.

As a result, Jack feels an immense pressure to succeed. When he tells them to back off, Rooney is immediately apologetic, not wanting to make Jack feel that way. Rooney gets better about it, but it takes them a little bit.

Rooney often travels for their time in the Militia, which takes them away from Jack. The two end up communicating a lot over email.

When Rooney dies in 2071, Jack is utterly distraught. At first, he doesn’t believe it is real, but when a close friend confirms it, he breaks down.

Once Jack gets himself together, he thinks about what Rooney would do and knows Rooney would seek answers. He tries to get answers from the militia, but no one will say anything to him, only giving him the same nothing answer over and over. Jack is pissed when they won’t give him Rooney’s body.

Eventually, he finds out that Arasaka is involved, a piece of information handed to him by a close friend of Rooney's who feels bad for him. Once Jack hears this, he decides that he is going to join Arasaka to find out what they know. He knows Rooney would do the same in his position.

Meanwhile, Rooney is trying to get info on Jack and whether he is okay. When they become friends with Yorinobu, he keeps an eye out for Jack through his connections and passes information along to Rooney.

In 2074, after Rooney has returned to the Militia, Jack joins Arasaka in Night City. He still doesn’t know that Rooney is alive; Rooney isn’t allowed to contact him.

In 2075, Rooney finally gets back in contact with Jack when they leave the militia. They show up on his doorstep, worried for him. Both are ecstatic to see each other, but Jack has a lot of questions. Rooney won’t answer the questions and discourages Jack from trying to figure everything out. All Rooney will tell him is that it doesn’t matter. (They do slip up and mention Yorinobu once by their nickname for him, Yori. Jack does not put two and two together.) 

Jack pretends to give up his investigation, but he still looks for Rooney's name in Arasaka files. 

The two rebuild their relationship, becoming close again. For example, Rooney and Jack try to have a biweekly pizza and beer night to chill out and catch up if they haven’t been able to see each other. Rooney and Jack still hang out a lot together, and are constantly in communication over text. 

When Yorinobu becomes CEO, Jack notices that Rooney seems more anxious than normal. Something is up, and Rooney won’t tell Jack anything.

When Jack finds out that Yori is Yorinobu, his mind is blown. Out of all the people he expected Rooney to become close with, it was definitely not Yorinobu.

Jack is definitely suspicious of Yorinobu at first. He thinks Yorinobu is using Rooney, but isn't sure for what ends.  Eventually, Jack comes to realize that the two do care for each other and eases up a little on Yorinobu, becoming friends with him. 

Some goofy/random headcanons: 

Both Shepard siblings could fight God in a parking lot and win. 

Jack is taller than Rooney. He's 6'4 and Rooney is 5'10. 

Rooney and Jack give off totally different vibes. Jack is very laidback and sweet while Rooney radiates the aura of the most terrifying person you've ever met. 

Neither Jack nor Rooney can drive. (Yorinobu learns this the hard way, having been a victim passenger of Rooney and Jack as drivers.)

Jack is the better cook, only because he doesn't attempt to drown most foods in hot sauce like Rooney.
