Lately I've been thinking about Peach's healing power again; only this time, I wanted to draw it in a pleasant context rather than a dramatic or bittersweet one! The idea that her soothing magic can not only alleviate others' pain but also make them relaxed to the point of inducing sleep is one that I really like, and I couldn't resist using this element for a bit of fluff. 🤭💖

(Based on the original concept by @drones-of-innocence and inspired from @peaches2217's lovely headcanons 🙏)

#Another idea I'm very fond of is that Peach would secretly LOVE pampering Mario #Always looking for any valid excuse to give the man special care #Namely by standing unnecessarily close and / or touching him in some way 😂 #Brushing an unruly brown lock back in place - Arranging the straps of his overalls - making a tiny adjustment only to undo it right after - #She would always want to he near him 💕 #And by some curse or miracle Mario would systematically miss every single hint sent his way 😭🙇‍♀️ #Oh he'd be over the moon alright #But would think she's just being her sweet and generous self like always #Being painfully courteous and charming about her lovely attentions in turn without even trying #Thus continuing the endless pining cycle! x3 #These two I stg #mario #princess peach #mario x peach #mareach #romance #fluff #love and affection #lovers in denial #Super Mario Bros #Fanart

Me, as I'm about to start playing coral island: I don't know who I'm going to marry in this game. Mark caught my attention right away but I want to get to know the characters better before I make my decision, maybe I'll like someone more than him :)

Me, three seconds into the game, running around the island: WHERE IS HE? WHERE'S MARK? BRING ME MY FUTURE HUSBAND!!

#coral island #the way I'm simping for that man #to be fair he is like a video game version of my bf when it comes to looks and body type so it's no wonder i like him so much #but rafael is low-key stealing my attention by being an absolute adorable cutie #and Raj with his coffee hyper fixation like yeees babe tell me more about what kinds coffee grinder is the best *hearteyes* #but also the ladies!!! chaem is so mean to me and im like yes please do it more #Aaliyah is so freaking cute too I just need to get to know her better #aaaaaa and macy!!! shes so sweet omg and so cute #this game is a bisexuals nightmare how am i supposed to pick just one person to marry 😭

Mr. Laundry went home a couple days ago and I already miss his squishy face.

#dogblr #the man the legend: laundry #i do not miss his leash walking (lack of) or the amount of drool he left whole drinking from a bowl #but he was a really really sweet dog who adapted really well to life in a tiny apartment with a pinecone #and that really says something about Carla's dogs so #im so glad she lent him to me #it was a great reminder why im going with a slightly lower maintenance breed #i was feeling nostalgic and thinking i wanted to stay in britts and luckily laundry fixed that for me #he needed A LOT of management #(the same way mav did at a similar age tbh) #and it was a really good thing to keep me out of my head for a month #but not what im looking for in a permanent dog right now #he played so well with pike though 😭❤ #she was so happy to have a friend

The most dramatic action that Minkowski takes towards Eiffel in the finale (sending him back in the Sol) is going against Eiffel's choices in an attempt to prevent him coming to harm. In contrast, the most dramatic action that Hera takes towards Eiffel in the finale (the memory-wipe) is causing him to come to harm in order to enact a choice that he's made.

In a sense, these actions are conceptual opposites. But they are both taken with love and respect for Eiffel. They are both extremely selfless actions which Minkowski and Hera find painful to take.

They are also both actions which could be considered to be harming Eiffel. Both of these actions involve doing something to Eiffel that Minkowski/Hera would hate to have done to them. And both of those actions are taken with the awareness that they are fairly likely to result in losing Eiffel in a sense (either because he's headed back to Earth while Minkowski is on the Hephaestus, or because he's losing part of what makes him him). That's part of what makes those acts painful and complicated and significant.

Minkowski and Hera both care about Eiffel so deeply, and their care often expresses itself in contrasting ways because they are very different people. The finale emphasises these different manifestations of their care. Love can be 'I will do whatever I can to keep you safe, even when that's not what you want'. Love can also be 'I will support the choices that you make to bring about our common goal, even when that causes you harm'. The way Minkowski's care for Eiffel manifests is tied up in her sense of responsibility for her crew's safety. The way Hera's care for Eiffel manifests is linked to how she's had to fight for her own autonomy.

Neither of their actions in the finale are perfect or typical expressions of love, but in their very different ways, they both act with love, and that's important to me.

#wolf 359 #There's more to say about this cos it's v complicated but I don't want this to keep sitting in my drafts #Although I have immense sympathy for Minkowski's choice #and I love the motivations that underlie it #I do think she wrongs Eiffel in a sense by trying to send him back against his will #whereas I don't think Hera wrongs Eiffel by causing him to lose his memories #which would be a strange thought without the context #but that's just it I guess #All the relationships in this show are so specific to those particular people and the dynamics between them #That's what I'm really trying to say here #Of course Minkowski's love for Eiffel looks different to Hera's love for Eiffel #There's no perfect simple way for their affection to manifest in the situations they are in #Minkowski loves him and so she goes behind his back to protect him knowing she might never see him again #Hera loves him and so she supports his plan (once she's checked if he's sure) and so she causes him to forget her 😭 #Love as accepting loss in order to protect the loved one #Vs Love as accepting loss in order to respect the decision of the loved one #w359 #renee minkowski #hera w359 #the empty man posteth #w359 spoilers #wolf 359 spoilers #renée minkowski

it's telling the way ttj smiled at lss after their last night together in his dream, not a single drop of bittersweetness or regret or mourning for what could be, he is fully content knowing that though his end is near, he has faith in his choice and that some part of lss still loves him despite everything in the world outside. that man is truly at peace with it all and, somehow, I gotta be too

#till the end of the moon #tteotm #spoilers #ranting #I'm gonna need someone to gif him kissing across her face while she cried bc it fr wrecked me #also when it looks like he'll kiss her neck but instead drags his nose back across her cheek breathing her in & it's somehow WORSE #this once resentful dejected man both fought fate and accepted destiny with selflessness and all ultimately bc of love 😭 #god maybe sex even affirmed his choice - it's not only his master's order but the only way to save her and the world she cares for #like after his awe at her initiative he relishes the opportunity to shower her with affection & clearly takes pleasure from it himself #if anything he's a lil too satisfied that she can revisit these memories: proof of their hearts & ending with a bang (🙊) job well done LMAO #and maybe believing that next time she visits she won't be so conflicted bc she'll finally know the whole truth #UGH I love my early episodes murder twink but ttj's journey is one for the history books too

kinda cool how in season one eleven escapes the lab thinking she's the monster & in season four eleven escapes the lab again knowing she never was and that none of what happened was ever her fault.

and how in season two she goes on a journey to figure out part of her past and is told by another of the lab's victims that she needs to find strength in pain and anger & in season four we saw that it was her mother calling her by her real, human name and telling her that she loved her that gave her enough strength to overpower evil and banish it from their dimension, not the hurt and rage she felt at her being taken away. and that again, she was able to perform a miracle and bring her friend back to life by thinking of the love she showed her and the way she had always treated her like she was a human being.

she and her story are just really cool, methinks.

#being selflessly loved and treated like a human being what gives characters who have never once been shown that before without having to #give something back in return the strength to fight back and reach their final form is something that can be so personal #like. why am i crying in the club right now #terry called her JANE not a number but a NAME a real HUMAN name and told her she loved her! #and max treated her like a PERSON like a GIRL not a weapon or a superhero and she never asked eleven to do anything for her #she just loved her and treated her like a normal girl like a normal friend #and it was THAT which gave eleven the most strength #eleven who has always had to give in order to get eleven who gets punished whenever she steps outside of the box people put her in #eleven who didn't know that people could LIKE things until season three eleven who had never felt like a girl until season 3 #eleven who finds her strength to release herself from henry's vines when she looks at max and remembers tht she has to fight #for her the same way that max fought for her then bc she loves her she loves her friend so much #eleven who looks at a man who has never been treated like a person and in her last moments thinks of her mother and the fact that #she was loved and she was given a name that she is still a person despite everything that there is still kindness in this world and #THAT is what gives her the strength to save herself and literally unmake him and tear a fucking hole in time and space like. #are you kidding me bro how do u expect me to realize all of that and NOT cry like 😭 #the power of love... and being treated like a human being... to be seen and understood... there is always a light to be found in the dark #i'm . someone sedate me please for the love of god SEDATE ME PUT ME DOWN SHOOT A HORSE TRANQUILIZER AT MY ASS PELA SE

Watching a video essay on feminism in the Spider-Man films, and the essayist is currently discussing Gwen Stacy's fridging in the original comics and how the films have adapted that and etc etc, and I'm just remembering how Andrew Garfield's Spidey was the one who failed to save Gwen, and then in No Way Home Tom Holland's MJ was the one dropped off the tower, and Andrew got to catch her, and he saved her, he did it, he caught her properly, he saved her this time 😭😭😭

#the way she had to ask him if he was ok bc he was crying 😭😭😭 #tbh i didn't watch the Garfield films bc i was like ''🙄 more peter parker'' #i didn't even like the tobey maguire ones much so why tf would i want more of them yk #the only reason i watched the tom holland ones was bc i was watching all mcu w my best friend #and his sheer childlike dorkishness won me over #he was so widdle . . . #but anyway i LOVED Andrew in NWH #Holland is still my fave but Garfield is right up there #and then Maguire is way way way way way way way down #look man i know his movies were the ones i grew up with #i was literally a child when they came out #but they sucked. he sucked. he was like a lesser topher grace. and i'm not sorry.

while i am spewing my takes, might as well give my academia one. 

i think that the culture of trigger warnings in social spheres is great. i really do. i think it’s awesome to know what might be coming and to help people feel more prepared to confront difficult topics... all that being said... i think it did some intense damage to academia in regards to reading. 

to go into an academic setting and complain in front of the class to the professor about the book he’s chosen to use as course material for the basis of our modeling, stating that the book itself is triggering and that he should provide parts that can be skipped over... feels absurd. this is a college, upper division course. we’ve all been in college for SEVERAL years if we are taking this course. by now, you should know and understand that courses often include potentially triggering topics. 

that aside, trigger warnings in an academic setting are a courtesy and not a requirement. if you have triggers, whether they be common or uncommon, it is on you alone to check for yourself if the book has triggering content and then reach out to your professor on your own time to see if it would be possible to provide a trigger warning / work out some kind of alternative. your triggers are not anyone else’s responsibility, which sounds like a tough pill to swallow but it’s true. 

the syllabus actually INCLUDES the warning that some topics discussed may be upsetting. they always do because academia (especially creative academia) deals HEAVILY in those topics and uses them as a point of learning and discussion. to go to a professor in front of the entirety of the class and be rude about the content of a book (the book is dawn by octavia butler, mind you. a black, lesbian author whose work is famous for it’s masterful navigation of topics regarding oppression) required in the course syllabus because the syllabus does not include explicit trigger warnings.. is remarkably unprofessional and a gross misunderstanding of the way books and academia work. then, to insinuate that the triggering topics of the book (which is.. as i understand it.. a lot of it) don’t matter BECAUSE they may be triggering is a gross misunderstanding of the book content itself. 

if you are in college—in academia—engaging with texts.. it is (i’d venture) common sense that you will encounter uncomfortable and potentially upsetting things. if you have triggers, it’s on you to be proactive about it and figure out alternatives for yourself with the professor. to take away a chunk of class time arguing that the trigger warning is not enough when there is a clear statement in the syllabus that states “as this is an upper division level, university course, it is likely this class will include content that some people may find upsetting”.. feels absolutely absurd to me. ask in private. email the professor for accommodations. 

anyway... all of this to say that while triggers are common practice online.. they are not in the world and while they are useful, they are not requirements. you’re responsible for yourself and your own triggers. . 

#that's my harsh take of the day #i think compassion is great #if it were me teaching a course... i would include trigger warnings for this book #but the fact is... it's not me teaching it #and i am responsible for my own triggers so... i do that shit on my own #and the WAY she approached the professor about it... (ie: very rude and accusatory) did NOT sit right with me at all #in academia... you're not entitled to trigger warnings #u are an adult. if u suspect that it might contain triggering content... fucking look it up and email the professor about it #don't consume 30 minutes of class time arguing. #idk if this is even coherent #and i probably sound so heartless #but HOO if you HEARD the way she spoke to this man who was just trying to go over the syllabus??? it was RIDICULOUS #i sympathize but i do nooott support that kind of approach... especially when it is disruptive of the rest of the class #she was just... so MEAN 😭😭😭😭 #like... and he was TRYING TO FIND WHAT PART SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT #trying to explain that yes it has triggering content but that's... part of what the book is about and that we can't just skip over it #he was so nice to her about it #and she FULLY came at him #first over the mic and then in chat

Started thinking about the Amanda Waller + Ben Turner relationship again.... fuck, I'm gonna need a minute

#I JUST- SHDIAUDJSHDSHEYEYRYRYRY guys. guys #i know none of you see my vision and thats okay. i will make you see my vision. i will force you to see my vision. i will- #like jesus fucking christ oh my god. its so interesting and gives me so many emotions and just!!! #i know im not making sense bc none of my moots are sui sq fans and also like half of the content fucking me up specifically here is in my #head because i cant stop thinking about my absolute power fix it au but like!!!!!!! #also the fact i have a fix it for a comic that isnt out yet is so funny to me. its literally fucking real though. god knows we need it #may my own content carry me through the dark times (extreme villain waller arc) #anyways this fucks me up so bad you dont even know. someday ill actually explain it #dc hire me to write a suicide squad ongoing PLEASE. i could do it so good it would be so fucking good dc PLEASE 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #also like this isnt me shipping them btw. like 110% not that. just to clarify. #i wouldnt even call it a friendship bc like. theyre not friends really. he has the most equal dynamic with her i would say but it still isnt #equal. shes v much his boss even though they have an understanding and respect there #like she believes and trusts in him much more than anybody really even himself. like she sees the good man and the leader even when he #doesnt. but she isnt nice about it. and there is a lot of conflict between them when there needs to be #like as much as ben is “wallers man”--the team leader she wanted from the beginning before rick flagg pushed his way in #ben i would say is still a very moral person even when lost and unsure of himself and his goodness (which is like one of his main things) #like i feel like while amanda can lean very into a “the ends justify the means” mindset in her worse moments and do bad things to get #herself out of a corner ben has like a deep and meaningful understanding of how the choices of your methods and how you act can weigh on you #like even though he was brainwashed and whatnot (thats still the story right? i cant remember) he holds a lot of guilt and baggage over his #actions and i think is able to temper amanda's worse tendencies in terms of that by calling her out when he recognizes that behavior #idk. i just really think that amanda waller and the suicide squad as a whole has lost its way without a more moral authority presence there. #like someone who can call her out and keep them more on track. which i really thing ben is and could be #i just very much am interested in their dynamic and how that would look like as equals and how i think they could help each other. #which ofc is what my wip is about and revolves around #blah #sui sq

incredibly sorry to everyone that's here for rpg things my interests are flip-flopping to classic lit again. q's full of renfields.

#which is a FEAT mind you considering the tag is full of the 2023 movie which i really hated 😭 #simply because that's not renfield that's jonathan if he ate bugs. stop using the 1930s movie as a reference PLEASE #i still love the 1930s movie but only because bela lugosi and dwight frye were made specifically for those roles- bad script be damned #also because he's basically jonathan the movie had him have an ex lady? RENFIELD? babes. babes. look at me. #the vampire bite is an allegory for many things in the book #when lucy is bitten repeatedly it can be taken as a metaphor for illness #when lucy bites children i see it a lot as a direct flipping of the script of the role she was meant to fulfill- #she's the classic woman archetype as opposed to mina's new woman. she's here to marry and be a housewife with no job etc #but now as a vampire instead of nurturing children she's drinking their life away #visceral victorian shit! #then with mina it's directly assault. straight up. no two ways about it. #but then. look at me. look into my eyes. what do you reckon. the man - the /insane/ man that's SEEKING OUT vampirism #(by another man) #is meant to be an allegory for. in a post wilde trial book. #ofc it's just my read but like. like.

[bravest]

i think something else that's so sad is the entire sequence of the thin man taking six ... the way six reaches out for mono multiple times , desperately trying to urge him to take her hand and run with her ... it wasn't a halfhearted effort at all , she was genuinely lingering and imploring him so pleadingly until it was literally too dangerous for her to keep trying to convince him , so she finally took off running .

then she reaches for him again when he's under the bed , as the thin man is snatching her ... and later when we see her inside the television , she's actually distinctly shouting his name . ' mono ! ' it's so ...

#i never realised she shouted his name until recently 😭 #i also remember the good old days when you could grab her hand and pull her under the bed with you #it'd softlock the game since the thin man couldn't get her ... but it was a victory to ME!! #she really thought he was going to help her and it must have hurt so much that he didn't #i think mono was obviously suffering a lot with the signal and it was weakening him / giving him a splitting headache #but i think a part of it was also that he was scared 😭 #he's such a brave boy do NOT get me wrong #but something about his hesitance and the way he looks at six... #he wants to help her but i think he's both in too much pain /and/ paralysed with fear #author becomes beyond reproach . / ooc

i am once again crying over the incredibly happy smile kuukou does when he and unami meet again 😭😭😭

#this is vee speaking #*violently weeping* the way chapter starts with kuukou looking kinda despondent upon waking up with that memory of unami leaving #to the way they framed kuukou watching two kids in the park playing together THEY WERE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS FR 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #LIKE KNEW WHERE SHE MOVED AND EVERYTHING 😭😭😭😭😭 #that event where kuukou got to model happened because kuukou was in the area after visiting an old friend who worked at a sushi restaurant #and i think it would be great!!!!! if kuukou got to do that more often lol!!!!! let him visit unami more!!!!!! #he and ren should meet up again too!!!!!! yes i am back on my periodic missing ren and unami hours!!!!! #like man!!!!! if kuukou really is supposed to have a kiyohime motif to him then all these people who have left him matter very much 😭😭😭 #i really want to know if there’s a defining moment for that 🤔 #who wants to hear my ‘kuukou was adopted’ theory i act like i abandoned but haven’t really lmao #c: kuukou👑 #c: unami

Zoey is the one you'd rip to pieces but not the guy who potentially spends the entire passing obsessing over her?? Interesting. Very interesting that ZOEY is the "problem" and not the guy obsessing over her. Ellis shows interest in Zoey, but you want Zoey to stay away from him?? I see

Surely this isn't a result of an inherent bias against women who "get in the way" of your gay ship or queer Ellis headcanons?? Surely you don't see Zoey as "competition"?? I sure hope that's the case

#idc if im looking into it too much #they better not be a fucking n/llis shipper #rlly out here pitting a 19 yr old against a 35 yr old man for some loser who thinks the mona lisa is a statue 😭 #and shitting on her bc one of the men in your yoai likes her #cmon now #its a shame i was about to rb the art piece then i saw that tag #tbh even if the poster doesnt like n/llis its still weird that theyre pointing at zoey as the one who 'needs to stay away from ellis' #and not the other way around #given she doesnt show nearly as much interest in him as he does her #if anything you SHOULD be ripping ellis to pieces since hes the one interested #and dont be going on about some whole 'being with her makes him straight' biphobic ass bullshit #update: the poster does/did in fact ship n/llis #istg ppl who ship n/llis are either very chill or the most misogynistic annoying motherfuckers in the way that only fandom mfs can be

not to be a bitch but it's so funny how most henry stans just like. totally ignore everything to do with will as if this show doesn't exist all because henry went after him and refused to let him go. as if will is not his perfect character foil. as if it's not all leading to what happened in the upside down and how the only stories left to learn are those of will and henry. like... . .. ok. this is me, ur resident gatekeeper, officially snatching away their stanning licenses until they pass their necessary continuing education courses aka rewatch the show 🤨

#(i'm kidding abt tht last part don't come 4 me u kno i'm an obnoxious little shit 🫣 BJDHFBDJ) #yes eleven is the one that opened the door for him in every way and made him but. this story started because of will. because YOUR man #couldn't let WILL go. like ........................ ok #brenner couldn't let henry go which meant el couldn't let henry go and when he came back henry couldn't let will go . #the show starts bc everyone is looking for will they keep el around bc she helps them look for will steve comes back bc he feels bad but #he only got roped up in it bc nancy got roped up in it and jonathan and he got roped up in it bc will went missing #like. almost every single character ....... goes back .................. to .................. w-[GUNSHOTS] #even the actor tht u thirst over says it like 😭 #sorry i know he's not real i KNOW henry isn't real it doesn't actually matter idc idc idc idc do whatever u want #but it's just Funnie to me. how do u ignore like. 1/3 of his story like that especially when it's gonna be the focus next season LMAO #and that's not even mentioning how they totally ignore will AND what he did to him with the mind flayer. I'm Sure It's Not Related At All #Tho Right? Right Guys....? #i have 2 laugh. anyway! lov n light 🫶
