#so nice and realistic I love her

[echobutgirlypop]

REASONS WHY SABINE IS THE BEST

Literally all of S4E22 - Qilin

The episode where marinettes entire family was akumatized (she was the only one who cared about how Marinette felt)

She’s shown how much she cares about Marinette and her family so many times

She cares about the well-being of everyone around her and understands what they are going through, even if she doesn’t know the specifics

She’s not overprotective but absolutely not neglectful

I could go on and on but you get the idea, she’s so cool

#they did her dirty with that lipgloss though #also qilin made me so upset it was ridiculous unfair and that ticket inspector was def racist #miraculous ladybug #mlb #sabine cheng #Sabine miraculous #so nice and realistic I love her

Charlie putting the padlock on the bridge for him and Tao was actually one of my favourite scenes of the season. The way this scene shows the importance of friendship and puts platonic relationships on the same level as romantic ones is so fucking refreshing to me. Taking such an inherently romantic action and just making it not romantic in the slightest but about Charlie's love for his best friend that is equally important to the love he has for his boyfriend is so beautiful and important to me.

Heartstopper obviously does put a huge focus on different queer romantic relationships but I absolutely adore the way the second season portrays queer friendships and doesn't make them seem less worth than the romantic ones.

#i love how alice oseman writes any sort of relationship #i think it's very nuanced and every relationship is different and important #and i think part of why she does write relationships so well and so realistically might actually be because they're aspec #it's nice #it's good #i love to consume her media #bc it makes me feel seen #heartstopper #heartstopper spoilers #heartstopper netflix #charlie spring #tao xu #alice oseman

Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback about my Elka art! I really appreciate it. And now the question : What would Elka's mental world look like? I was wondering what you could suggest about this. It always seemed to me that the symbol of her world would be a mirror

Well actually my boyfriend and I had an idea for Elka's brain world we called "Elka's Ever-after!" I need to write down some big document for all the ideas we had about it but for now [should put a tw for like, idk, I think Elka would be an alcoholic as an adult. Theres a vague reference to that here? I mean Bobs Bottles exists so--]

It was a little 50s sitcom-type world, all in black-and-white and such, complete with it's own laugh track! Mostly it would be a representation of the "perfect" life she had always wanted for herself (the one she had pictured in all her years chasing after Nils and their predestined relationship (that as a child she conveniently ignored meant it was doomed to fail)), all with its own dandy Nils stand in, "The Husband," and their two darling regret children. The "plot" of the brain world (in the sense that, if someone were to go into it the "goal" of the world in order to "fix her issues") would be to disrupt this, although perfect, entirely fabricated life Elka, or rather "The Housewife," had made for herself.

The Housewife is stuck in a miserable marriage she pretends is perfect, but the signs are there. The cigarettes, the empty bottles, the constant misfortune written on the calendar on the fridge, the non-stop bad news on the television and the radio and the newspapers. It's obvious things are bad. But Elka is too proud, and far more than that, too resigned to what she sees as her predestined fate to even attempt to change anything. So she just tries to make sure everyone else thinks it's all as perfect as she always told them it would be, even in her own brain world.

She cant change the miserable future her visions showed to her, so why bother even trying? She feels helpless. Her visions are more in control of her own life than she is. There's a lot that I'm skipping for the sake of not rambling on and on, but the end of her world, I think, would be set in her childhood home (rather than the "perfect" home The Housewife lives in.) A little child Elka sitting in the dark of her living room in front of her TV, playing her first vision on loop. The start of all her issues, the beginning of the end of any control she felt over her life. It's mentioned she has a vision of a puppy getting run over in the Li-Po doc and I take that as being one of if not her first vision, so of course she's upset. Giving her the remote to the TV would be symbolically showing her that she is in control, that she doesn't have to just do whatever her visions say, that she has a choice in her life, that she doesn't have to just watch it all happen.

Heart! I could go a LOT into the intricacies of how it all plays out (and I will if you'd like but it would just be a written play-by-play of how I think going through the world would be (complete with bossfights!) from the perspective of Kitty and Franke since they're the ones going through her mind in my and my boyfriends Au!), with all the symbolism and whatnot, but this answer is already long enough.

All in all I have thought about this a lot (,'. Though I do think mirrors could really be a big thing for her. A lot of her issues, including not feeling in control, I also think would stem from her mother treating her precognition as a parlor trick. I think she would see a lot of her mother in herself (and father too for that matter. I figure Barney is the one who cheated (though mostly because of Mable's unhealthy obsession with bad predictions, not that that is an excuse) and I also figure he and Elka were close due to them both being psychics and having their unique precognition. So him leaving would put a lot of strain on her.) and hate that, so mirrors could be a fantastic symbol of that.

#elka doom #psychonauts #be nice #how-good-day #WAHOO I LOVE GETTING ELKER ASKS #she is such a complex beast in my mind #I can see it so clearly #Hitting her with the divorced parents/helplessness complex/BPD combo #Also obviously all of this is overdramatized #In an actually realistic depiction I think the most Doublefine would do is make her some miserable woman who hates her husband #And that's fine too I just love thinking way too much into the lives of these little freaks #I mean could you imagine? Having the ability to see the future expect everything you see is always bad and you can't even control it #That sounds absolutely torturous

[amelikos]

It's really interesting seeing moments where Liko is overly careful with her words, to the point it feels like she is walking on eggshells and prefacing her thoughts with "it's fine, I really think it's fine but..." even around her friends.

#(which makes an interesting contrast with sango again since the latter generally spouts whatever is on her mind) #liko really didn't want to upset dot or make her think she thought something was wrong #but she still tried to convey what she thought while putting a bunch of 'it's fine really but maybe...' before her words #liko and her tendancy to try and please people etc. #it's such a compelling aspect to explore! and it feels realistic for her to be this way #like in a way part of her doesn't want to ruin what she already has in her friendships #especially with dot because she came so far with her #but she still said what was on her mind #very nice facet to explore for the dynamics tbh #it makes me wonder if liko and roy could have a kind of argument down the road #the two of them generally get along so well and they are so compatible and chill together #that it could be interesting seeing them argue for some reason and then make up afterwards #either way i love liko and all these small moments showing her character #liko #hz049 #character notes #episode notes

i was steaming about this like idk two weeks ago and i still obv go yuck at the idea of dc women as baby incubators but i think a potentially interesting plotline and way to bring mar’i into main canon would have been if kory realized she was pregnant shortly post-break up. like i was thinking about it yesterday and i really do believe dick would be like one of those regency romance novel guys who reacts to out of wedlock pregnancy by impulsively offering marriage and idk i think it’d be funny and not at all surprising if kory reacted by saying no. and the two of them had to deal with being co-parents who were committed to working on themselves while nonetheless providing all of that love to their daughter, with this small, miniscule, yet stubborn glimmer of hope for some reconciliation between them. it would be a nice way to emphasize on their potential strengths as parents and the necessary independent growth they need to undergo before entering into a relationship again was even a tangible concept let alone an offer on the table 

#corny perhaps but i am also kind of enamored by the idea of mar'i growing up so loved as a child that she doesn't even realize #that all of this is going on. like i could totally see kory and dick maintaining that level of commitment that love is all she knows #despite the fact that they may realistically be separated during a good chunk of her childhood #and i think that would be a nice kind of coparenting relationship to portray. dc's very allergic to the concept for some reason #to be deleted

love my social worker he's so sweet and i love my mentor/guide/one day i'll find a fitting english word for what her role is too. last time i met the former he said they talked abt the thing i'm starting this thursday and said "while it feels like these circumstances may be impossible for you, logically speaking you shouldn't succeed there, yet both of us are certain you will" which is very nice but also AAAAAAAAAAAAA

#they're right like these ARE p much impossible circumstances for me #but i do think they think too highly of me and i'm definitely gonna disappoint them 🥲 #this was both assuring yet. like. pressuring. if that's the right word idk #ik there's the whole. 'what if i fail' 'but what if you don't' back and forth but genuinely. realistically speaking. i most likely will #i have never been able to maintain those daily structure stuff like school for example #and while i do hope that since this is only 4 short days a week (with a break in between 2 and 2) and smth i like doing - #- then i'll have an easier time. but. it's still gonna be so hard. #there's a reason i don't go out or wake up early ughhhhh it's bc i hate doing it. idk if theater would be enough to make up for that #and what if i don't like the people what if i don't get along with the directors what if i struggle with remembering lines or physicality #which will make it all so much harder and make the part i'm supposed to love unpleasant as well #what would i do then 🥲 #. why am i anxious about this rn. i have a tough day ahead of me for a different reason i should probably focus on first 🫠 #vent #sorryyyyyyy it's 1 am and i need to clear my brain out it seems #also maybe i want. advice. or encouragement. idek what i want. here. i don't wanna have to worry abt this but that's impossible ofc #(my mom told me today that she wants to tell me there's nothing to stress about but she knows that'll just be incorrect 😭 and she's right) #(dw she meant it nicely and gently as in she knew i'd just get mad at her for saying it lol. and i mean. again. gotta be realistic)

what’s it like reading homestuck just because of the locked tomb… totally not because i’m also considering it 🫣

Well, as someone who understands the plot of harrow the ninth and is also listening to a podcast to help me understand the plot of homestuck, I still don't understand the plot of homestuck. Fortunately this doesn't matter because the point seems to be making various characters meet up and say things to each other. Overall, my main opinion is I would like to feed karkat a carrot. his little teeth are adorable and I want to watch him chomp and bite

#replies #and i wanna pinch terezi's cheeks. little weirdgirl in training i love her #in the podcast the hosts compare the serial/fragmented nature of hs to like. marvel and lost etc #but i will say hs is much weirder and more interesting than those things #idk that i'd necessarily recommend it but like if you want queer kids to talk to each other. they do that in this webcomic #it doesn't handle issues of race well and there are a lot of gay jokes at the beginning/jokes at the expense of disabled characters where #it's kinda like. come on man #the jokes get better over time but there's a whole section that does feel like things ur little brother's friends said to you in junior high #i mean realistically. like one of the characters is actually a queer kid in texas in 2009 so it. does track #anyway i'd say that it's one of those things that encapsulates a particular moment in online culture so well that #you do kind of get the urge to write a paper about it unfortunately #tamsyn muir did things with the weird hs internet language in the serendipity gospels that hussie could not pull off #basically muir could do hs but hussie could not do tlt that is my stance #i still haven't answered the question of whether you should read it. and i won't! #have a nice night apologies for the tag essay

A Tale of Seashells & Shenanigans

YA fantasy

follows a grumpy 19yo who works in the fantasy thriftstore

when a girl tells them she accidentally donated her selkie sealskin on their watch, they have to go on a quest with her across the sea to the other store the donations were sent to against their will

but things quickly go wrong and they get stranded on a desert island, and they have to survive by busking, and hitchhike with some pirates to make their way there, and their frustration eventually grows into attachment

nonbinary ace disabled (cane user) MC, aroace ‘love interest’, QPR-ish

#A Tale of Seashells & Shenanigans #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #Hm.. I like the idea of this but it was a bit all over the place and I feel like the relationship development wasn’t great #the MC spends most of the book being pretty horrible to a very timid well-meaning autistic girl who isn’t mean back. #(like mutual antagonism can feel more even yknow?) Like yes this is the focus of their character development - we know why they’re like thi #the fact that they’re mean to her is very much addressed; they apologise eventually; the author is autistic and making intentional choices. #but......they apologise but then are mean again over & over. it keeps happening and it’s just not fun to read when it’s 80% of the book? #them being nice to her is a way smaller part and I just don’t really buy the love at the end. #I think the author’s strength is definitely in real world settings where it can just focus on the characters #- I feel like this kind of silly anachronistic fantasy world needs to be leaned into a bit more? #I also felt like Tillie was quite self hating (or: only focusing on the negatives) about being autistic and aroace with the MC there to tel #her that no it's ok! Of course that’s a realistic experience but I find when it’s so succinct like that it feels really….reductive; idk. #pet peeve i keep running into #I did kinda enjoy the detail of ‘I’m ace siren’s won’t effect me’ *immediately flings self overboard after hearing them* lmao #but yeah I feel like some sections of this could have been cut out and a couple things expanded on and I might have enjoyed it more

Im working Hard on finding cc that fits and works well to make the magnum opus.... caspians bedroom

#tsr is very. not good to navigate and search like at all #if anyone has any creators or sims cc sites that r good pls hmu #its very. her room is very pink and soft and fluffy and a little childish #bc she just!! she loves soft comfy things and a Lot of it is just things she likes to touch #fluffy soft pillows and blankets and squishmallows #and so so much makeup and a walk in wardrobe i think is deserved #i dont know if i think its realistic but. its deserved #she deserves the biggest bedroom in the world but its probably not as big as i want #i am torn on if there should b a bathroom between her and caspers room like a shared one that has doors 2 both rooms #i think its a fun nice way 2 connect them more (+ the aesthetic of the like shared sinks but having visually different vibes) #but. its unlikely bc of how their parents will lock them in their separate rooms as punishment and a bathroom between them would ruin that

need everyone to know how proud i am of myself for rearranging my (smaller) bookshelf based on general book subject/vibe, it’s currently likee,, academic/political stuff (btw if you want marxist theory from the 70s your local college library’s free book shelf is a great place to find stuff fyi since for some reason it’s getting weeded out), then like literature/poetry anthologies, books about poetry family members gave me, then just like normal poetry stuff, then some epic music books, then manga, then the lower shelf with some random tall stuff and binders and then my witchy stuff, leisure reading, more craft/reference type stuff and then some random slightly related stuff sprinkled/stacked throughout !! plus my random ceramic stuff plus a couple clowns, f*nkos, littlest pet shops etc. but anyway if there’s one way you can tell i’m neurodivergent and trying to get my foot in another library door this would be it lmaoo

#i think that gerard f*nko's lonely. revenge era w the 'mask' to be clear #theyre between two clowns but not close enough for it to be clear i think #maybe they should stand on something bc at the moment they look like this one clown's pet and that's not very nice #did i mention i love clowns?? god i love clowns. ceramic. porcelain. the only downside is they take up spaace #my clown w all the plumage needs a safer home and so does my clown who i think has some specific type of energy attached #(she doesnt have a stand and ive been trying to do a boudoir doll type thing w her but like.. my bed's covered in stuffed animals) #(and she lost a thumb and her hands are kinda cold so im just trying to figure out the most realistic plan there) #hm idk

I am thinking abt my silly au where marcia gets adopted by alther when she's like 8. And marsilas friends au. And overstrand siblings au. And. Ahdjdbsjdbdifbfjnf. I am thinking.......... She should be loved!!!!! And I do not think she was particularly loved as a kid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love your aus so much 😭😭😭 they give her everything she didn’t have in canon

#septimus-heap my beloved #canon compliant is usually the only kind of fic I can write #so every time I want to like. make things better and nicer for her I can’t 😭😭 I’m like this is nice but it’s not realistic #she wasn’t loved as a kid!! my hc is that her dad was a wizard but died when she was young #and her mom was like ok magyk kills no magyk #and like her parents did love her! but that would have caused so much resentment #idk lonely marcia means a lot to me she gets it dkdjjsjaaj

hang on i'm gonna yell about season2 in the tags more bc now i'm . thinking so much

#SEASON 2 BABY !!!!!!!!! #i'm so curious of the plot . bc season 1 wrapped up nicely imo #BUT I WON'T COMPLAIN I LOVE MORE AT CONTENT #as long as it doesn't get into like . yk . where people milk a series or franchise Dry because it rakes in money #but AT has soooooo much lore and sooooooo so many good characters that atp i'm convinced that's lowkey impossible #they can realistically talk about things that we don't wanna hear but they would Not run out of content possibilities #i also am gonna die waiting again for s2 . i am fine and willing to wait bc Obviously i don't want this to be rushed . i'm jsut impatient #and it makes me kinda nostalgic [???] esp bc i remember a friend i had before f+c released . like before the trailer . when there was just #the bare minimum known other than it was in the works . and i remember talking with him about it and being So Excited #and anyway i haven't talked to him in ages and lost contact even before the trailer so i hope she's well . season 2 bestie [explodes] #UMMM ANYWAY . WANNA KNOW WHAT MAKES ME SAD #if there's no betty in s2 ......... bc i feel like they wrapped up all they wanted to do w her character ................ #give me a season 2 where's it's just betty . i don't care if it's just 10 half hour episodes of betty just sitting there

having weirdly specific things in common with your f/os always makes for really absurd "same hat" moments to imagine

#oddly prefacing this with i do not have a dead sister #but i DID used to be incredibly socially codependent on my older sister growing up #and there is a character in ria's backstory who represents a lot of loved ones in my life (including ones i've lost) + it makes sense– #story wise to just make her ria's older sister and add that previous codependency on top #but both sides of a couple having previously been dependent on an older sister they later lost is like. a little funny in a way #but if i'm viewing ria on her own disconnected from sougo (bc it's fun to develop) the older sister thing just makes most sense #all that being said it is true i relate a lot to sougo's depiction of both dependency and loss ! so it would kinda be a– #realistic thing to bond over anyhow #sorry if literally none of this makes sense i have a whole convoluted plot in my mind. i need to just post ria's new ref tbh #🐈‍⬛ nice to meet you earthling
