#that one bothers me ngl

[padfootastic]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the fight between Remus and Harry in DH. Because throughout the series we see Remus manipulating Harry by bringing up James, but for the first time, Harry brings up James in a situation that is the most relevant, and Remus goes BERSERK.

hello 💜💜 i’m so sorry for how long this has been lying in my inbox but i’ve got so much to say and not enough time for it 💀

i don’t think anything i say re this will come as a surprise to anyone who knows me lol i feel like that fight was such a good opportunity to show, in narrative, remus at fault without excusing his actions and the text still missed the mark. i’ve talked before about this, but remus always gets off scot free with no consequences or even reproach for any of his shitty actions and i think this comes under the same banner. iirc even hermione’s like ‘wtf harry’ because of his response, right?

but here, we see him acting shitty in a manner u absolutely cannot ignore. i mean, there’s a point to which ur willing to ignore a grown man’s agency and actions, right? and i feel like ‘abandoning ur wife and unborn kid in the middle of a whole war’ is waaaaaay past that point. we can talk all day about how he thought he was in the right, how he might’ve actually brought misfortune to them by virtue of who he was, but that still doesn’t excuse what tonks would’ve been going through, esp considering her own dad pulled a similar stunt.

you bring up such a great point re james. remus had absolutely no problems invoking his name when he wanted to guilt trip harry (i keep saying this but their conversation in poa horrifies me every time i think about it) but the moment he gets it back? it’s all ‘oh woe is me how dare u’. kinda makes me think remus never had to deal w the consequences of his actions (which like,,,am i wrong tho) bc all the misfortune he has, he attributes to his condition and never his own actions. he basically operates on an external locus of control and the people around him keep enabling it. (ofc a lot of this is conjecture + influenced by what i’ve seen in fandom bc we (i?) don’t actually know that much about him & his motivations from the text) and i think when he actually is held accountable, he’ll go straight on the defensive bc he doesn’t know how to handle it.

imo remus is super, super self destructive and not that capable at maintaining healthy relationships. for all that people go on and on about james and sirius being assholes and bullies, remus is actually so much more insidious in terms of being ‘toxic’. i really think harry was so right for doing what he did, not matter how much shit he gets for it, because someone has to. his friends won’t, people in authority aren’t, and he gets to go through life blaming everything except himself.

i feel like this is super unsympathetic to him lol but that scene in dh is actually one of my favs just because someone is finally saying something to Saint Remus and the fact that it’s harry, of all people? u go bby!!! it was also such a thoughtless action on remus’ part bc he’s telling this to a literal orphan who grew up abused and neglected. also!! the way it portrays him on the complete end of the spectrum as james (who we know is the ‘embodiment of bravery’ in the text bc of his actions therefore, remus is an absolute coward which, self professed but now proved further) which really makes u understand harry’s pov too, i think. because he idolised his dad, ykno? and he’s heard remus talk about their bond before, and we know harry’s judged people by comparing (and associating) them to his parents right? so it just makes remus come off even worse.

ultimately, i think it was just another selfish + narrow minded action in a long list that we can attribute to remus. can we explain them? sure. but does that justify it? i personally don’t think so, but others can obv disagree. remus wasn’t thinking of tonks or baby teddy or harry when he offered to accompany them, no matter how much he tried to spin it that way and i think that lying (to both others & himself) is v characteristic of his personality throughout the whole series. he’s a serial manipulator and no one’s safe from it, not even him.

(i’m reading this and it’s so rambly gosh. i hope some of it made sense?)

#remus lupin critical #re ted doing something similar #i read a fic where that was explored #and andromeda was so angry and so hurt that ted left them #and it really changed my whole opinion on such a minisucle plot point lol #and then got me thinking about the parallels between his actions and remus’ #something about people claiming to be selfless while actually being v v selfish #bc ultimately their actions didn’t (wouldn’t have?) help(ed) #but they would have eased their conscious #but fuck what the people who were left behind thought right? #and remus making harry godfather is another can of worms i haven’t even touched here lmao #that one bothers me ngl #only my love for teddy keeps it at bay lol #this one’s a bit…unfiltered bc i just wrote what came to mind #but yeah #differing opinions r always welcome ofc #we love discussions on here #pen’s asks

When they start dating Sanji finds comfort in the assumption that Usopp has never dated anybody else either. Kissed anybody else. Lost his virginity yet. Because Sanji hasn't, and he just assumes Usopp can't possibly know more about relationships than him.

But Usopp grew up with Kaya until he was 17. And he has done all of those things. So now Sanji is even more nervous about all of this, but Usopp doesn't seem to be more relaxed, either? And it's so confusing. So while Sanji panics about all the firsts they have yet to have together, Usopp does the same.

So Sanji is kind of like "Why are YOU nervous?! You're the one who has done all this shit already I- I don't even know where to start!"

"But it's the first time I do them with YOU. "

We often forget they're canonically anxious teenagers who really really really don't know anything about love and they have to experience these things together. And I find that beautiful.

#opla sanji looks like he fucks and that bothers me ngl i want him awkward around this #like seriously who is he going to date??? a customer???? #and my guy is too good for a quick random fuck cmon sanji has MAYBE kissed somebody but ??? had sex ??? no #usopp on the other hand tho he has done all of those things but. like. with kaya. childhood bff #which is NOT the same as doing those things with a very pretty hot cook in your crew that you love very very much #they're both sweaty and awkward and please imagine the conversation abt who tops. these two guys are having a crisis #i should. write a fanfic. about this. damn it #someday i will i promise #one piece #black leg sanji #usopp #sanuso

I lost interest in tbhk.

I'll try to finish my interactive au and the fic docs I already started, answer some of my asks too, when I have the time, but unless the new chap spark that excitement again I'll just... become a casual reader.

(I do still have pieces of my insane era on my docs though, so if interested I'll share the drafts and incomplete scenes of some fics)

EDIT: I WON'T CANCEL THE DTIYS EVENT, PRIZES AND ALL! No worries about that!

#ngl a big BIG part of my loss of interest is because of this fandom #this fandom has plenty of nice people (i genuinely love many people I frequently see in my notes) and i want to share my ideas with them! #They're the reason I still have some excitement when I work on tbhk aus and the ones that make me want to hold on this feeling #but overall? I hate it here. I don't like to focus on the bad things but I really can't find a nicer way to say it without it being a lie #I won't go on a tirade about why this fandom bothers me (no one is here for that) but yeah... I just don't see why I would stay #now that I have a new characters to be insane about outside this place #if you read all these tags hello I see ya

MANHWA WHY ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO LETTING THE YAOI BOYS HAVE A SEASON TO BE ESTABLISHED AND EXPLORE THEIR RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER.

there is something to be said about the connection that all (US) southern / bible belt queers have with each other that no one else could understand

#ngl and say that queers that did not grow up in the south or in bible belt states adopting the 'cowboy' aesthetic doesnt bother me #bc it does #am i going to stop people from participating in it? no #but a majority of those baby queers adopting the aesthetic will be the first ones to condemn the south #and all the queers in it simply bc we exist #there is something to be said about the community that we have as southerners AND as queers #especially rural queers like myself #the relationship of southern gay mascs and cowboy culture? chefs kiss. #butcher posting

I don’t know if I’m just imagining things but I feel like Olli and Aleksi are actually so close 🥺 for example I feel like they post so many pics together and I know they post with others too and it’s not a big deal but e.g. Olli has posted 5 pics with someone else this year and 3 of them are with Aleksi.. so it must mean something right?? 🥺 and I feel like they spend a lot of time together yk even ”outside the band” when they’re having a day off and they still do music (the remix) etc. together 😭

Yeah I mean I for one am so deep in the Olli/Allu delulu land that it's VERY easy for me to agree and confirm all of this 😭 they're boyfriends secret lovers special friends and it shows 🥺

Here are all the pictures of the two of them I could find on Olli's IG, for reference 💞

+ the group picture Olli posted when Aleksi first joined the band, with the caption 'so now there's six of us' 🥺

#i left out the one where he's pushing aleksi's and niko's heads in the water 😳 #and one from balboa bts with tommi in the background #ngl the anon ask i got yesterday has given me MASSIVE headworms of 2 young guys having thought they had their life all figured out already #and then one day they realise they've fallen for their friend and bandmate 😭 #friends to lovers but with troubles in between my most beloved trope in the world 💞💖💗💓💕💖💞 #with truckloads of (mutual) pining and just general confusion about what they should do about their stupid (mutual) feelings #(i'd love to read/write something of this sort but i'm too anxious about everyone being all #'boohoo they'd never cheat also you're disrespecting their gfs' #like............first of all it's fiction second of all IT'S FUCKING FICTION third of all i ain't gonna tell 'em lol #obviously i wouldn’t include their actual gfs and OBVIOUSLY i wouldn’t show the fic to anyone who's in it?? #i just don't understand how someone could be offended about something they don't know about lol #and OBBVVVIOUSSSLLYYYY i wouldn’t write either of the guys as somehow happy or confident about cheating like come on #there'd be SO MUCH guilt and shame and angst and they’d still love their gfs so much #but then there's also this guy who's their friend and whose stinky socks made them barf once on the tourbus #and who means the world to them. they didn’t mean for it to happen. it just did 😭 #anyway sorry for rambling i swear i don't mean to make everything about my silly fic ideas #i just can't help myself and i need a way to let it all out somehow without bothering anyone in particular 😭😭😭) #ollixallu #anon asks #answered asks

Hello! Hope you're doing well. Got any other meta about LMK Sun Wukong, the Brotherhood, or of the Stableboys duo, Ao Lie and Wukong? Have a great week, eat your fruits and sleep early regularly. Thank you for your LMK posts!

hey! tbh my week has been shit :) but i’ll have you know that the best place to find stableboys meta is from the account Dr. Chalk on Twitter. literally get my heart ripped out every time (also their art is fire).

[I ended up having a lot to say about SWK under the cut lol]

As for some delectable Sun Wukong meta/headcanons, I’ll have you know that I am a firm believer of this immortal monkey having such shit survival/preservation skills for himself bc of his 7-fold immortality that he will pull suicidal/heroic feats as the “easier solution” (see s3 where this monkey thought it would be a brilliant idea to place the Samadhi Fire INSIDE himself (even when that is like one of his greatest weaknesses as the JTTW book details) as an easy way to ensure none of MK and his friends would get hurt and he could (probably) spare LBD’s host)

Also, notice how the s4 special revealed to us that Sun Wukong feared death so much he went ahead to finding ways to ensure he never dies. Ever. (Not to mention that this fear stemmed from the fear of failing the people he cared about and that since he was the strongest in FFM and their king, if he died, they would be defenseless bc that is literally what happened when Wukong first left to train under Master Subodhi). But now, Wukong has lived for a very long time (longer than he even thought possible). And he is t i r e d (i will NEVER forget that quick cut to Wukong’s face as he said “focusing on the fact that I am an immortal being, who will never die!”)

Although, my theory is that his suicidal tendicies isn’t because he is that suicidal (or maybe not cognizant if it) but because he knows that even with experiencing something super brutal (such as the Samadhi Fire or drowning in Sandy’s sub), better him than anyone else. Like a “I don’t intend to die, but so be it” that I think really concerns me (in a “I wanna study you under a microscope but also give you cocoa” way)

honestly, it doesn’t help that Tripitaka found himself in such dire situations where Wukong would need to save him from, and some of them were suicidal but you kind of brushed it off bc “he is the Monkey King, immortal 7 times over, and crossed his own name out of the underworld” (and I know we definitely did since everything would work out in the end but like…..come on!), so that kind of life risking behavior was met with positive reinforcement so like….I would not put it past Wukong to unintentionally throw himself into these circumstances in order to help or fix an issue (especially if it concerns MK 👀 he will not hesitate and my heart cannot take it T^T)

but yeah

#this meta/ramble thing is not in any way me dissing or slandering the JTTW crew or Tripitaka #I have seen the discourse about that and ngl it kind of bothers me (a lot) bc the book makes it clear by the end that the group formed a #really close bond with each other so all the theories about the jttw’s gang being one of convenience feels very shallow to me #like yeah ok sure in the beginning none of the group dynamics were the best or solid but that was the point!!!! it’s an allegorical journey #the mind is in conflict with the heart/desires (swk & zhu baije) and is why Tripitaka will argue w/ swk and side with baije #anyway #that was not the pint of this pint but tldr: JTTW found family is a slow burn and I would like for ppl to acknowledge that more #amen #lmk #lmk meta #lmk sun wukong #sorry for the mini rant in the tags lol #lego monkie kid #sun wukong #asks #angstandhappiness

Hi, since you are a sanusopp fan (and it seems you have gotten in my brain), I thought I ask you if you like this idea: Luffy tried to get Sanji back to Usopp so the two can marry. (and he can eat the weddingfood) He didn´t want Usopp to come with him because Usopp was already so down that he couldn´t think clear. (probably Namis words) What do you think of this little heascanon?

(nothing to do with your idea but first of all i love that i'm kind of being known for sanuso. it's funny af bc this blog was made to talk about my experience while i watch op and now i just talk about this sniper and his cook boyfriend. what a twist)

THAT IS SO SWEET !!!!!! okay, first of all, luffy doing all of this for the wedding reception is canon as hell and i love it. dude would be all like "huh? weddings aren't that important right???????? if you love somebody just idk love them. why do you need to legalize shit we're pirates!!!!" and then someone would be like "but it's like a party, with music, food and all." and luffy instantly goes: "THERE'S FOOD?????? AND A PARTY??? WE GOTTA MARRY USOPP AND SANJI ASAP!!!!"

ah yes, luffy the sanuso supporter (definitely not for the food)

actually what you said is completely true, bestie. the only reason why usopp doesn't go to whole cake island with them to save sanji is bc he's heartbroken and luffy decides to crash the wedding for him so that they can get married and be happy forever. oda told me this, actually. *speak now by taylor swift starts playing*

#no but really i haven't watched WCI yet but???? #it's giving speak now by taylor #the fact that usopp isn't going with them kind of bothers me ngl i'm gonna go cry #although this just means more possibilities for fics #luffy really would be an amazing best man huh #one piece #sanji #usopp #monkey d luffy #nami #sanuso

There's this nearly 4 hour movie I've been meaning to watch for a while and I was like "ah maybe ill watch it tonight hehe 🥰" and then I remember...quali is at 9 🫠

Honestly, same

#I'm actually loving that Ratio seems to be caring while Ruan Mei is more hmm ruthless perhaps‚ and definitely more uncaring and colder #I already thought this was going the direction they would take given the leaked voicelines and Ruan Mei's light cone #but I'm glad it's looking like that still #ngl I often see there's a... trend to make female characters often 'softer' than male ones #(like with Topaz and Aventurine in that last dialogue for instance. I'd say Kafka to some extent falls into this somewhat too. #Herta more and more perhaps. Himeko reads to me way colder and more detached and selfinterested than Welt #which is nice even if I have qualms about the writing there for now) #And that trend bothers me.
