#persona 4 #p4 #persona 4 golden #p4g #hanamura yosuke #yosuke hanamura #souyo #this was an interesting scene for a lot of reasons #for context naoto goes out to take a breather and yu follows with yosuke following behind yu. #yosuke cracks a joke to lighten the mood (something i've already talked about a lot is making jokes is yosuke's fall back to raise morale) #there's 3 things happening here - yosuke opts to go outside with yu to cheer yu up instead of staying in to cheer up the rest of the team #so it kind of implicitly suggests that like it or not yosuke kind of still prioritises yu - that yu is the first person yosuke looks to #but it also comes closely at the heels of that moment in the hospital room with namatame and i think this is very much a scene where #yosuke is testing the waters with his r/s with yu like “hey we're good right” by making a joke so that things btwn them feel normal again #and finally it's something that i don't think even yosuke himself realises - HE is the catalyst to yu's realisation on who the culprit is #yosuke's comment that “the fog's so thick the snow gets lost in it” is reminiscent of the english saying “to hide a tree use a forest” #at least for me anyway - snow and fog are both forms of water that come about during low temperatures #but it's right after this comment that yu made the connection that the culprit was someone else that could hide in the crowd #by blending in in a different manner to namatame #namatame was not noticed because he was a delivery driver and that was a mundane everyday figure #but adachi blended in by being one of many police officers that were present in inaba - in other words the tree in the forest #without realising it yosuke has come in clutch to support yu again - i'm fascinated that it wasn't naoto that deduces it #despite being THE detective and being in this scene #it's the combined work of yosuke and yu #and that they really are better with each other #he's good with his queue

3l!grian is frequently depicted as a tragic figure and sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same series

#like yes he is tragic. every character in the series is tragic but i think hes easily the least tragic of the winners #(except maybe cleo. i have my own thoughts about how cleos victory plays into her core themes and why its not as joyous or triumphant as #cleo the players and the fandom at large make it seem that i will have to make a real post about at some point) #grian dies Laughing. he smiles and calls it a dual victory before the final fight. his last words are “its been amazing.” #to me Grians arc is about how he came in with this sense of mirth. had it ripled away by the reality when his joke gets Scar killed. #and then rediscovers it as he learns that the horror of their circumstances doesn't need to keep him from delight #plus also ive never seen a man more delighted to explode three of his friends #ill also bring up that Martyns lore has Grian involved in the games explicitly to COMBAT the angst #that Grians inherent silliness and joy makes the players less hopeless as they meet their endings #and theres obviously parts of martyns lore i can take or leave but this is one area where Eyes and Ears lines up very well with what actions #the characters take and so im happy to bring it up #unlike other parts such as “limlife pearl and cleo retained more trauma between seasons than any player has before” #which i do directly refute as it doesn't seem to line up with the way the characters act and the story plays out #thats for another post though #my point here is 3l grian was having the time of his life and i think there are some fanon interpretationd that disregard that #which theyre free to do im definitely someone who has ignored canon plenty of times in the past (glances at worm) #but i think this is the sort of thing that makes the canon more interesting and compelling #anyway. um. rambled longer than i meant to there #grian #trafficblr #3rd life #3rd life smp #3lsmp

[ardentpoop]

every day someone irritates the living shit out of me with a take like this

yes that’s what the show tells us. but is the show right??? (hint: ABSOLUTELY NOT)

#u guys really watched sam sink deeper and deeper into learned helplessness after being ragdolled by everyone in his life for 15 seasons #and said ‘ah yes he finally accepted his status as a subservient object’ #and you MUST be joking abt soulless sam lmfao that was your takeaway? #dean was so desperate to get His sam back at the risk of possibly breaking his mind forever #bc sam’s normally DEAN’S moral compass and he was spiraling when sam became someone he couldn’t control (just like in s4) #soulless sam could’ve literally killed dean at any point lmao but some hardwired instinct kept him following the leader #btw this person used terrible examples as evidence of sam’s apparent Inherent Moral Depravity #I can’t trust Anyone abt this character #the only thing they’re inadvertently right abt is sam ‘trusting the wrong people’ bc he trusts DEAN after everything he’s done to him

threatening my braincell with a knife: stop thinking about kimchay and sleep

the braincell: oooh what if chay happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and kim comes to the rescue

me shaking and sobbing: please stop

the braincell: KIM GOES FERAL

#please someone shut it up it won't stop #and i have to wake up in 4 hours help #either someone needs to shut up the braincell or the universe needs to let me not need sleep #i'm too cute to need sleep #and i want to do too many things #there isn't enough time for sleep #kimchay #tea's ramblings #this is post canon btw and kim is there because of course he's stalking chay #like the stalking stalker that he is #after this kim takes chay to his apartment and they finally talk as chay insists on bandaging kim's hands #(because of course they're bruised and bloody after that) #JESUS CHRIST DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN #THIS IS A JOKE POST #AND THEN MY BRAINCELL GOES OOOH BUT ACTUALLY!!!! AU #no #nonononono #stop this this is getting ridiculous

soo...Commander Peepers. How's everything going? We haven't heard from you in a long while and I just wanted to check in to make sure you're alright

Bad. Not really feeling social.

#At least I can write and type now without excruciating pain #I'm telling ya- blasters aren't designed for handling recoil in that direction! #Especially if you- like me- hold it with two hands when you REALLY can't miss the shot! (Which put my arms in an awkward twisted position) #.....................................that stupid dollshit was worse #As in that BULLSHIT with treating me like a doll!!!!!!!!!!! #Oh I cannot WAIT to replace him!!!!! #I've already expanded my search by loosening the watchdog requirement #And since eyeclops USUALLY have at least a little magic potential #If they're not magical powerhouses (which are unfortunately almost mythical with their rarity) #I'm SURE someone who can take him down without being out of place here will contact me to arrange an interview any day now! #Ugggghhhh- the sooner the better #I'm willing to lower my standards further if I don't get any bites by the end of the year #Not only to rid this universe of HIM #But because I'm REALLY sick of this throwaway number's prank calls #normally I wouldn't mind them much #But it sucks to get your hopes up only for some stupid stock joke- y'know? #[[tbh I'm an engineering student and it's finals season so I've been online far less 😭]] #[[3 more days including this one....]] #[[btw Peepers was on bedrest during the end of my spring semester too]] #[[I'm glad me and Joey roleplayed this now because him being injured and depressed is a good way to explain his absence]] #[[he also gets reclusive and depressed when he's forced to stop working]] #[[Because Peepers is bipolar (type I) and he NEEDS that adrenaline/momentum to keep the mania part of it prominent]] #[[so that's another good reason he's not really online]]

18 + swaymark!!

oooo thank you!!

#18 - pleaser, wallows + swaymark

okay i know they are canonically obsessed with each other but. the song is in some ways about feeling like you’re failing in your relationship and being not quite as obsessed with them as they maybe are with you, and in this video of them talking about being a tandem, there is the slightest pause before swayman answers “do you miss him?” that makes me want to probe a wound. we’re not talking irl reasons of how that’s an absurd question (how do you miss him. you’re coworkers you’re seeing each other all the time) we’re talking that maybe this whole goalies-in-love thing got blown out of proportion and now swayman’s having to buy into the bit too hard. linus loves it & everyone’s asking about their bromance & how they love each other so much and the thing is—linus is safe. he’s got a wife and plausible deniability and jeremy? jeremy is gay. sure, he can crack jokes and people-please but the more people ask the more they're going to find out until maybe they find out something jeremy doesn't want them to know. and the longer this goes on, the more jeremy has to sit at linus' dinner table with linus and his beautiful wife and pretend like he isn't a little bit in love with him. and you know what? the longer it goes on and linus doesn't dial it down jeremy does stop being in love with him, because it just feels cruel, until he finally is done enough that he stops biting his tongue and ruins the moment.

#…this so is not a five sentence summary but ALSO this manages to perfectly align with something i was obsessed with (that media video) #like yeah is that pause reasonably a buffering time to a weird question? yes!!! do i want to read into it & make swayman a bit uncomfortabl #also yes!!! sorry i decided to give them tragique but they were assigned by spotify. the other option for this song was an ED fix-it fic #about healthy sex and learning that it can be a part of a normal relationship!! sex is weird and fucked up!! but like. that’s just because #i have always interpreted this song as a) unrequited best friend love & you’re worried you’re gonna fuck it up b) virgin who doesn’t know #what sex is and is scared to tell anyone and then option c) people pleaser keeps going along with it but can’t anymore #also OBVIOUSLY they end up fine. whether that ends up being jeremy finally telling linus (oblivious) i don’t want to do this with you #i need to get over you & them creating a platonic space & sway ends up with someone else OR linus has the oh. true. i simply never #considered that i could be gay for you option OR the one i have just invented but is now my favorite because i love a good polycule is that #linus & his wife simply add jeremy to their relationship. and then this song becomes jeremy scared to have sex with linus’ wife at first lo #liv in the replies #the interviews in that video doing the lord’s work fr but also that ‘do you not miss him’ feels SO uncomfortable. say no! but then he leans #in with the dirty jokes comment & i know i’ve made like eight variations already (sorry. that’s how my brain works) but it is soooo fun #to me personally if they are broken up but now have to act nice & keep doing all these rituals & sell us on the narrative & they’re just #trying to see who’s going to crack first. needle each other into laughing or getting irritated enough it shows through & the other one wins #do even more aggressive hug rituals!! get a medical warning from the athletic training staff!!!

[braisedhoney]

Hey kid, chin up. The only thing I ever really wanted was to take care of my family, and I got that. Sure, I’ll miss a few things. But hey, they’ll probably miss me, so I’ll call it even.

HAHAHAHA HEY HEY HEY OKAY YOU CAN'T JUST POP IN AND DO THIS—

ALRIGHT crew take your positions we're rerouting the ship to pick up an old man before he does something irreversibly sad in the process of saving the universe /j

#ney's chatter (ask answers) #fucking christ mister stark i don't wanna go down this road okay i don't have a seatbelt on this goddamn space ship #what? the sacrifice is incredibly narratively satisfying and while tragic indicative of an arc that ends with someone finally able to rest #knowing his family is safe and alive and will live to see another sunrise even if it's without him? #yeah but. it hurts. #(joking. kind of. ow.) #why is all this nostalgia coming back #i have other asks to answer and i promise i'm not ignoring them #i'll get to it soon i promise.

[insinirate]

god how i missed tankdad and his not-son pico

theyre everything to me rn

#watching the fungus show has rewired my brain for these 2 #john being a broken man whos lost too many people he just doesnt blink when he kills anyone anymore picking up this snappy little teen #who loves shitty jokes and never shuts the fuck up when he should and also wants a gun Really Really Bad #first as a transaction. basically just a means to an end of finding someone hes already invested emotion in #then finding out actually? he can get used to this. picos noisy ass beats aimlessly drifting thru the apocalypse til he gets jumped #or finally topples over from how much everything sucks #and pico actually finds someone who stays and chooses to keep him to the extent that john actively refuses to die while picos at risk #among other things johns willing to do to other people that try to take pico from him💀 #anyway pico gets to enjoy getting glimpses of the world before it ended thru an old man who heals the bleeding killer in his heart by #by being some weird teens lame dad #anonymous

Me thinking about Jade:

#rambles #I’m prob over thinking the sci fi show and what’s likely an edgy joke #But god #god damm #Jade and Dolph had the perfect ingredients for a meaningful friendship #They should’ve been friends! They should’ve bonded! #Jade should’ve gotten the chance to have someone to finally lean on for once in her life #But no she dies before we even get to know her as a person #She died in that stupid red dress playing the femme fatale role that was forced upon her #Do you think it haunted Pey’J that his last conversation with Jade was him being a predator? #Because I hope it did #I hope he feels shit for that #I hope he realised that he was awful to her #I hope it made him look back at his relationship with the girl he raised and see how disgusting he was for his “feelings” towards her #And god damn I really hope season two does something interesting and meaningful with this and not be like vampire knight

[d-lude]

im gonna be completely honest tame impala's stuff is helping me through both shit i thought i already got over and shit im aware im still dealing with

#the cross speaks #innerspeaker an lonerism helping me with my feelings of being disconnected from everything cuz im at home all the time #currents helping me finally just forget about someone who ruined my life and be more accepting of changes within myself #the slow rush also helping me with change but more external change in the world rather than in myself. and also my issues with time- #-management and perception. #overall. i think his stuff is helping me become a brand new person /ref /hj #new person joke aside i really do feel like a better person than i was before. thanks tame impala. and thanks qyurryus for getting me to- #-listen to tame impala /gen

[katierosefun]

contemplating once again how i’ve just learned to not take things too personally these days. not so much as a “i’m cool with people being rude to me” kind of way, but more like how i’ve noticed myself just FORCING myself to not linger on every single social interaction i’ve had with a person. that one girl who just walked away after i introduced myself? whatever. that other guy who pointedly ignored me every time i said something? go off, i guess. that one girl who immediately dropped me once she found shiny new people to play with? could not care less. i think there’s a lot to be said in that a) i’ve decided i should be on my own side at least, and b) i’ve decided that i don’t need to go out of my way to be nice to people who like to ice others out, and c) cool, these experiences have just taught me how to reserve my energy for people who i might actually care about!

#caroline talks #mm. law school orientation . . . #don’t get me wrong I’ve met so many fantastic people #but I’ve also met some really . . . mm….questionable folks #I mean such is law you’re gonna find insanely privileged folks who are like ‘oh my whole family is composed of lawyers <3’ #and ‘omg your English is SO good for …. you know [pointing at my obvious Asian-ness]’ #and just in general other trivial things like some folks trying to find Who their people are y’know #and it’s like. i get it. #im probably subconsciously doing the same exact thing #so I can’t be mad at anyone #but y’know. i actually just was talking to someone #for like an hour and a half over text. someone I met for 2 minutes and we’ve hit it off #and im like ‘huh. this is neat.’ #and im forcing myself to not immediately go into ‘WHAT DOES THIS PERSON WANT FROM ME’ mode #this person literally goes ‘hey I thought you were sweet :) just wanted to say hi :)’ #and my lizard brain goes ‘THIS PERSON HAS ILL INTENTIONS THEY’RE GOING TO TRY TO GET SOMETHING FROM ME’ #until I realized a) they’re not in my section so we literally can’t help each other in the study sense at least not during finals #and b) we talked to each other for 2-5 minutes what could they have POSSIBLY gleaned from me in 2-5 minutes #and c) maybe people are just NICE and FRIENDLY and i should STOP acting like every person is like the folks from my hometown #also she laughed at my fanfiction joke SOOOOOO #anyways. nervous ramblings from a nervous person and etc carrying along #ngl I would resent all my past for turning me into the wary wreck I am today #but like I think I’ve also reached the point where I’m like. so everyone’s got some weird trauma about social settings #there’s got to be another person like me out here #and there are!

Wukong has a sense of humor...but what surprise most at times is that he also has a dark sense of humor as well. None of it is cruel, less he has negative feelings towards the individual BUT his humor can be more on the dark side on occasions.

#Loss of Powers | {OOC} #Time For The Hero Stuff | About the Muse {Sun Wukong} #You Are Not Invited | {Do Not Reblog} #Mostly pulling from JTTW where Wukong has made jokes and such that were pretty dark #I mean dude thought it be funny to pretend to 'die' in a boiling pot of oil during the immortality test #That whole test was just him finally getting to be a menace with his immortality and scaring the shit out of others #So; while he can be jovial and friendly with his jokes too...his humor isn't all sunshine and rainbows #He can make some dark jokes at times #He only makes them personal if he hates someone; tho there are only maybe 2-3 people on that list

#so i just finished s1ep2 of the bear (i don't really get it so far but ok) #and there's this scene where the main character calls up his sister and tells her about the mental shit that has been happening with him uk #and like even though this feeling is always there but lile i can't help but feel like my life would have been so much better with a sibling? #like one id have good relationships with uk??? #and ik ik found family and forming meaningful relationships outside is an option but like in this capitalistic individualist society? is it? #anyways that's not the point it's that there's always stuff no body in the world would get except people who grow up with you innit? #be it school or hometowns or families and it would have been nice to have someone help me not feel this complete overwhelmness all the time #and without me feeling like im exaggerating or thinking that the person would judge me or having to keep telling everything repeatedly #but then i think would that even matter when I am the one who's the problem and like can't work to form that connection with anyone????? #like i for the life of me cannot share anything beyond the surface level or without making a joke out of it #and it seems funny but i trivialise so much of the fucking shit that happens so obviously no one takes it seriously not their fault right? #and like how fair to my friends that i literally almost always been superficial and lowkey untrue with them in exchange for their honesty??? #at this point i feel like i don't even know what i truly feel or truly am because whenever i look back at my past self im like wtf #idk most of the times it just feels like being 'stuck' in a glass container and me not 'letting' anyone in if that makes sense? #ik im being very annoying about it but im just so tierd of feeling like this its been a decade & its way too long to constantly feeling dead #and im so fucking stubborn in my sadness that i won't even go get help after years of crying about wanting it & now finally having resources #it's like this mental block which i can't seem to remove and i feel like even if i do get help ill still be untrue so what's the point!??? #yeahhhhh anyways i'll delete this later i don't journal so tumblr will have to make do #vi.txt

I'm Ichikamaxing right now. I memoryholed my middle school years due to social issues so fucking badly that I don't even remember which years I was in middle school for.

#I made a joke here but actually I want to kill myself. #All I can remember about it is that first I had a really bad friendship and then in the final year I had no friends at all #I want to die #Why am I just Ichika #This shit literally sucks ass?? #Every time I get into one of my Moods I just cry about L/n for half an hour? #Recently I tried to fix a relationship using techniques on the basis of me being able to 'Ichika and Saki to Shiho in main story' it #Then that didn't work so I had a meltdown about just how delusional of me it was to think that I could do the same thing #And it was founded on the idea that the Saki in the equation is my friend at the time #He's not Saki. Never has been. He's just some stupid fucking overgrown lizard. To call him Saki is a disgrace to her memory. #Yet everything I did with him was on the basis that I could pretend he's like a Saki equivalent. He used to be so fucking similar. #The entire reason I identified with Ichi/Icchan in his presence was dumb copium bullshit in that vein. #On one of my worst days I painted a little IchiSaki picture at a school event and it had kind of made me feel better. #And he dropped me for his boyfriend #That's how I knew he's actually nothing like Saki. Saki would never do that to someone who carried her on their back during such dark times. #And that like. Ruined me I guess.
