“Peter Lukas gets sent back to the regency era” “Jonathan Sims gets sent back to the regency era” valid points valid points but i raise you

Tim Stoker gets sent back to the regency era

#Timelias #guys c’mon it would be sooo fun #Tim would probably *hate* Elias. Maybe try to take the circus down sooner since #the Grimaldi was first like a thing in the very early 1800s so it could be possible for Tim to just kill Nikola on sight #And I bet Jonah would be so fascinated by him. Like oh my god this man 1) is probably from the future 2) Is HOT AS FUCK 3) has sooo much #knowledge about the fears and FOUR) Can apparently kill the things?? and is confident while doing so?? #Jonah would love him sm #Also while I don’t think Jon or Peter could fix him I firmly believe that Tim 100% could #Like I’m pretty sure it was actually tweeted once that Tim could’ve redeemed Elias by fucking him nasty #but fr though I do think Tim would actually stop him from becoming as bad as he did because while Jon is passive in the voyeuristic sense an #d also and avatar and peter just couldn’t care less about stopping bad things Tim is wholey human and still dedicating himself to taking #action against the fears and *succeeding* and since I think a lot of Jonah magnus’s less than ideal actions stemmed from his feelings of #helplessness in a world out to get him I think that would be a great anchor for him. #Also I’m just super soft for any kind of Timelias sooo <333 #Elias Bouchard #Jonah Magnus #TMA #Tim Stoker #oh also Tim was canonically fascinated by Robert Smirke so he’d probably have some knowledge about the 1700-1800s through osmosis gotten #while researching #the magnus archives

EDIT: ending this early bc I’m impatient. Here’s the tiebreaker poll!

If we do Most Episode s2‚ I’ll allow episodes to be resubmitted‚ except for the top 8-16, which will join the new bracket later. It will be a smaller bracket‚ definitely no more than 128‚ but probably capped off at 64.

Also this is just deciding which bracket to do first‚ I anticipate doing some of the runners-up later. (If this poll doesn’t have a clear sweep I’ll do a second poll with the top 2/3)

#by ‘clear sweep’ I mean. at least 5% more than the closest runner up. #season2 #ok no jump the shark bc I am not confident that i could regulate what counts. #maybe later when I’m less busy? #. #tbh not sure if I want to do a musical episode bc i predict like. buffy scrubs community sweep. #which hopefully I’m missing something but that doesn’t sound super exciting. #wait nvm I just thought of some more ok I’m on board. #(I think I’d disqualify any shows that are fully musical? maybe?)

sorry I’m just actually sick to death of being told I’m intimidating . I know it’s scary when a woman talks without apologizing for herself constantly but maybe uhhhhh grow up!!!

#I’m not Scary on purpose literally I don’t fucking. growl at people #I don’t glare at them or be mean #can I be condescending? sure. it’s something I’m working on. #but how is it that I get demonized for this and straight men get way with it fucking constantly. and it’s an accepted and sometimes beloved #part of them #if one more fucking person tells me I’m intimidating bc I speak clearly and ask questions I’m going to lose my fucking mind #star’s thoughts #sorry this is a culmination of a bunch of shit lol #just bc I’m not scared of you doesn’t mean you need to be scared of me 😭😭😭😭😭 pleaseeee #part of me is thinking I’ve just been experiencing like intense lesbophobia or smthn at this point bc what the fuck #do I do that offends people off the bat. #but then I remember how I Am and rumors are true I border on the line of arrogance I dance on the showboat I flirt harshly with confidence #I think I have an issue where people have to earn my respect in conversation #and that is rightfully intimidating. probably some kind of protective tactic #I command it but also I demand you Show Up upfront and I can see how that’s like. anxiety inducing #I’m shifting to try and offer that respect upfront instead and hopefully that’ll make people feel less on edge #this has been like. a mini diary. sorry lol

i rarely see people talking about the trans girl substory in y3 and like. yakuza may have its issues with iffy representation here and there but I’ll give them credit for that one, it was simple but it was sweet and kiryu was very in character. my only question is: where the hell did kiryu learn the word transgender

#he already knew it for some reason and I’m not saying that’s super unrealistic but like let’s be real #SOMEONE had to have told him what it means at some point #im gonna assume ako did but they never use the Word in her earlier appearances I don’t think #anyway this substory is funny to me and very sweet #my friends and I were saying it’s like. the follow-up to rina (the lesbian hostess in y1) telling him he can go out with a guy if he wants #to (because he just admitted he wants to) and him going silent and staring at the ceiling in deep contemplation #the follow-up being: he meets another queer person who’s confiding in him and he almost immediately asks ‘so you’re trans. that’s not the #same thing as being gay right’ #like he asks her that in game. and it just sounds like he’s been wondering about this for a WHILE like it’s been lingering in the back of #his head just waiting for the right situation #man’s figuring some of his own shit out #as dumb as it sounds I like to think that was him thinking to himself ‘okay… they’re not the same thing… so IF im gay… it doesn’t make me #any less of a man than I was before…hypothetically’ #hdjdjffjfjvn but anyway obviously hc/speculation but hey it’s fun #that substory was written for us queers anyway. we can do what we want with if #rambling #kiryu #y3

Nah cuz I see all these people on here and they’re so close and supportive and cool and care for each other and I want to be friends with them but also they’re so close and scary and intimidating and I kinda hate myself so why would they not hate me so why even try and I see some of my old friends become friends with them and I just think why can’t I be like that I used to have friends on here but idk what happened

#I’m honestly so glad nobody really sees these bc I would melt if someone * cough cough Ania * saw this and started comforting me #vent post #I’m posting this in confidence that nobody will see it #and also I do know what happened what happened was reality reminding me that I actually do have depression and I’m not just some faker #who makes depression jokes for sympathy or clout #but also I’m scared to make friends on here because what if something like that happens again #and I don’t go on here for a long time and I loose my friends #really the only reason I didn’t loose Ania was because I had other ways to contact her #but after the lava fam fell apart I was more or less alone

gonna write an autobiography called ‘i’m not a vegetarian i just think you’re a bad cook’

#people assume that about me all the time and i’m just trying not to be rude about it but like… #man maybe if the meat wasn’t either 90% chewy fat or woefully undercooked i’d eat it idk #i don’t know how other people’s stomach lining can handle anything less than at least medium. i usually go for medium well #i will be horribly sick if i get the nasty half raw stuff people try to give me #like some pink is fine but so much of the time it really does look lowkey raw and others are just fine with that? #they think i’m crazy for wanting ‘shoe leather’ like dude sorry i can’t eat it fresh off the cow the way you can #and for goodness’s sake why does having to chew a single bite for like a minute appeal to people #or having to pick stuff out of your mouth constantly. man i do my best to get stuff off while cutting it but like #sometimes you barely can sometimes you’d end up losing the whole thing #i like meat but legit there are so many cases where it isn’t worth the risk to me #like so much of it is nasty or suspect #i just usually opt for vegetarian options when i’m not confident in the quality of the meat bc it’s just much easier that way #i don’t care if i have high snob standards #america’s meat-heavy culture is something i much dislike #peach rambles

[archduke-enver-gortash]

every time someone compliments my writing of gortash i feel like ripping my heart out and sending it to them in a package with all my money as a bonus

#sorry being a hater in the tags for a bit #i constantly feel shit about it. writing about his worst qualities in detail when lots of people ignore them in favour of watering him down #into some ya book stereotypical bad boy trope who really just needs a hug and a warm blanket to be fixed #like i’m breaking the rules and need to follow fanon #so these comments make me feel less shit lol #and people calling him a himbo. that immediately raises my confidence as a writer because my shit may be dumb but not THAT dumb

#its always the fucking chemistry projects that ruin my life #not ready to go back to school ... getting home late & eating the same food everyday & having less free time & hanging out with the same few #people i honestly! don’t even like that much.. zzz i don’t wanna receive my test results either – esp not for math #and i KNOW it gets 100x worse in a college/uni/work environment i think i’m just being a bit of a crybaby but i can’t bring myself to #look forward to anything at all. pass my exams & graduate yay ^__^ -> immediately go back and study some more #then i’ll have to get a job and afhjdkf... maybe i’m thinking too far ahead but it all feels inevitable anyways so does it matter if i am? #i don’t know why i’m struggling so much compared to my peers who don’t see any of this as an issue at all #was i cursed to be sad since primary school #i can’t even talk to anyone about it because my dad [ though he has good intentions ] almost always ends up feeding me a variant of #think about your future Or thats just how student life is. meanwhile my mom will begin a competition of Who Has It Worse?! #my sister has her own stuff going on and my religious aunt will say something along the lines of [ have faith & go with the flow ] #i wish i had someone to confide in but i only ever really have myself i think. it sucks cuz no one seems to get it at all #i know objectively thats probably not true but. ahh i feel so disconnected from everyone #cw negative #cw vent #i didnt intend for this to become a whole thing but i got carried away #💭

Finished reading “Star Wars: A New Dawn” for May the Fourth (be with you).

I give it a B+ bc it was almost perfect but THEY DON’T MENTION CHOPPER EVEN ONCE!!! ZERO REFERENCE TO C1-10P!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS DISRESPECT I WOULD THROW THE BOOK BUT ITS FROM THE LIBRARY SO I CANT

#tw caps #caps tw #other than that it was a fabulous book #the end was very poetic for everyone involved #I liked sloane bc she was a bad guy you wanted to root for #Like dedra meero in the first half of andor season one #and I started guessing vidian was tharsa before they revealed it so yay!!! I have some brain cells #I liked the ending for skelly #I’m glad he got to kill vidian #Even tho I agree he was a little annoying I’m glad it got through to him that the empire is bad #and he saw some clarity in his madness #Also I’m so glad zaluna didn’t die #I love her so much y’all don’t talk about her enough #And the fact that she never got to see a sunrise but she can feel the sun is so beautiful #I wonder if after Kanan was blinded if he thought about zaluna #has someone wrote that fic yet? If not let’s go people!!!! #and omg we are seeing the beginning of Kanan going back to his Jedi roots and becoming more of a revolutionary #and we see the end of that journey in rebels #In the beginning of the show he’s still not all the way there #He’s not confident in being a Jedi still and even less confident about being a master #And he still doesn’t really want to be a rebel and take the empire on #He just wants to help people #But Hera got him on that journey #And I love how even though Hera is so smart and can read Kanan well already #She still doesn’t know everything #He has some more surprises for her #I still can’t believe they didn’t even mention chopper at the end #I just know Kanan got on the ship and chop immediately runs over his foot and beeps at Hera like #WHO’S THIS CHUMP??? #also side note you can definitely tell this book was written by a man

My bff’s bf said something stupid and misogynistic and it’s 3am and I’m realizing I should have been angrier in the moment lmao

#It was like kind of a joke? #I know it’s dumb but what the fuck was that #While talking about how you need to worry more about what you put in your vagina he said something about sitting on your balls being worse #And I was like ?????? Hello???? #In no version of reality where having a vagina and ovaries is going to be easier or less painful #I just mentioned how those aren’t even close and how you literally have to constantly worry about yeast infections and UTI #Now I wish I’d listed more things like just yearly gyno visits and Pap smears #IM JUST REMEMBERING #WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW PEOPLE WERE STUPID ABOUT THINGS THEY DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT #SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO COMMENTS ON VAGINAS AND VAGINAL HEALTH #AND THATS THE CONFIDENT ASS COMMENT HE GAVE LMAO FUCK #I was so exhausted but damn i hope I have the ability to point this out if he does it again #Like I think something like this has happened before and I’m deeply concerned #Like implying something is easier because of being a woman #He’s progressive but I get such a bad feeling he’s still picked up on some subtle incel shit

Also I’m getting braces in 3 days ahdjfl might be why I’m so low on energy <3

#I have to save some energy so I can get that done #plus getting my consultation for them earlier this week was very draining #I was hoping to get Invisalign but my teeth are too crowded </3 rip #so I’ve been resigning myself to having braces for the next couple years #but my sister in law had them and my mother in law had them when she was 40 #so she was also older than the typical braces wearer; of course a decade or so older than I am #and they were both telling me that it’s not that scary; their experiences were great #so I feel less nervous!!! but tooth stuff is always scary for me 🙃 #so it’ll still be tough. but I can do it! I’m confident I can! #ren speaks #off brand ren cereal #ask to tag #if you don’t wanna see anything about it. let me know whfkfl #sometimes it’s hard for me to see posts about dental care and orthodontics so. I’ll get it ajdkf

I went from “this is a mistake we should rehome her” to “I would kill someone to make sure my dog is happy even if she’s a pain sometimes because she’s just a literal toddler right now”

#she’s been having some rough excitement and greeting issues #and getting frustrated at my fiancé 😭 #but we love her and want to set her up for success as best we can and I’m getting emotional over it #because I’m not asking for perfection and people probably think I’m insane #for caring so much about a dog because people assume they’re for some reason less work / less concern needs to go into them as opposed to #raising a baby which is so untrue #dogs can’t speak English and they can bite and get scared and that anxiety becomes aggression #she’s tiny and excited and that excitement becomes anxiety and I just #I cannot bear the thought of it becoming aggression #it breaks my heart #I want to pour everything I have into making sure she’s not living a fearful #anxious life #I want her to be confident and happy #that’s my only wish for her to be confident and healthy and happy #so she can experience the world with as minimal distress as possible #27

I feel like whatever was going on with majima/mirei/katsuya in the early 90s was some sort of complicated bisexual love triangle situation. like majima is majima and katsuya’s handsome and eloquent and absolutely doesn’t seem straight to me, but on top of that it feels like there was some sort of confusing tension between katsuya and mirei, not sure if it was romantic or one-sided or what but. SOMETHING. I don’t know what the hell was going on with those three really but no way in hell do I believe the romantic/sexual/??? depth ends with majima and mirei

#katsuya is HANDSOME and CHARMING and ELOQUENT. I just KNOW at least one of them was into him. probably both #one way I’m imagining it could’ve went is like #katsuya introduces majima and mirei to one another and mirei crushes on him pretty quick (because she is 19 and quick to do so) #majima doesn’t really particularly have an interest in her- not cause she’s unattractive or anything probably mostly because she’s almost a #because she’s almost a decade younger than him and barely legal. but at some point she confides in katsuya about her feelings for him and #katsuya being the sweet and honorable kinda dude he is acts as a wingman and tries to get majima to go out with her #and eventually majima relents because he doesn’t want to end up admitting to katsuya that he actually had a thing for KATSUYA #and by playing wingman for his good friend mirei majima takes it as him being uninterested and thus doesn’t shoot his shot and yeah #katsuya’s hard to say no to and hey I mean maybe mirei- a civilian- will make his life more capable of Normalcy #she’s conventionally attractive and is a decent enough friend- albeit he didn’t really know what she was like as a person before she was #crushing on him and also. again. she’s 19 and an idol. so inevitably her identity in general is NOT solid yet #almost as if rebounding off a relationship he never even Got- things move insanely quickly with mirei and they’re married in less than a #year. the whole time katsuya is there cheering them on- he’s smart and I think he’d see the red flags when it comes to their ages and #maturity at least but I think that’d become more apparent over time and he’d start to have regrets but #it’s way too late for that. especially when she comes to him bawling her eyes out because she’s found out she’s pregnant and she has no #idea what to do. both for her career and because she’s literally barely an adult she doesn’t want a child at that point but obviously she #knows she’ll feel guilty and- more than that- deep shame for terminating. she’s insightful even at that age and also maybe can read majima #well enough to know that he might take her abortion as a sign for him to book it to no longer cause her anymore issues. katsuya reassures #her cause what else is he gonna do. but of course she’s right and his commitment issues kick in big time and yeah. over the years katsuya’s #the in-between still close with both of them. specifically he’s closer with mirei and they trust one another a lot more than majima with #either of them- just because majima’s Like That and his trust issues create distance easily. nonetheless at some point majima asks him if #he’s been single for so long because he was hung up on mirei and apologizes if he got in the way of them and that leads into some really #long overdue admissions and likely hooking up. but of course majima is STILL majima and again kinda books it because feelings are #inconvenient and their time for something like a relationship has passed (or something like that). #mirei often wonders if things would’ve been better if she’d have ended up with katsuya instead but similar to majima she’s career-focused #now and just wants to value him as a friend regardless of any lingering potential feelings. majima ends up falling hard for kiryu #sooner than later and life just moves on from any romanticism beteeen the three of them- a nostalgic closeness lingers instead #rambling #that was. a lot.

i’ve always been bad about getting photos of myself but i’ve been making a real effort to document my recovery from top surgery, no rhyme or reason to when i take photos it’s just kind of when i remember, but i was just looking back at everything and the way i glowed up so hard in so many ways in the span of a few months is kind of impressive

#what escaping abuse getting surgery moving to a better apartment eating better and starting a new job that pays well does to a man #me now vs me in november are like not the same person #i did intentionally cut my hair a little shorter than i like it right before surgery for hygene reasons but i’ve grown my hair out #to a style and length that really suits me and i get complements on my hair a lot #which NEVER used to happen #i grew my little gayboy mustache and my skin cleared up a ton #and i huch less and am just a lot more muscular and fit than i was before #like i was recovering from surgery yeah but i really did NOT look healthy in some of the ‘before’ photos #but i’ve put on some healthy weight which makes me feel rly good #and idk i’m also just dressing better because i want to and feel confident doing so and im way less stressed about. just about everything #like wow i really lived the worst and lowest moments of my life and was like ‘light work no reaction’ & dragged myself out of that bullshit #and it wasn’t even that long ago but i’ve come so so far #i am really proud of myself :3 #yayyy!! ❤️ yippee!! ❤️

is my diehard attachment to my bangs making me conform to feminist stereotypes (“TERF bangs”) or keeping me from conforming to feminist stereotypes (cannot have both bangs and a shaved head/short hair)

#i want less hair but it costs money to maintain a chin-shoulder length haircut #or being able to confidently cut the back of my own hair #i can’t believe how much money some women spend on appearance i’m like :/ a haircut every six months sounds like a lot??
