I wish the anime hadn't cut this part out. It really highlights how afo presented himself as a savior to those who felt lost during the dawn of quirks which was how he was able to get such a huge following.

we see him do that during present day too as we see how he exploits those, particularly children, who society forgot about by taking them in and caring for them so they'll remain grateful and loyal to him.

#something something about a41 presenting himself as a messiah I'll get into that in an ask #a41 did so well during the dawn of quirks because there were so many lost people who were looking for someone to bring order #which he then took advantage of #a41 works best when dealing with those who have nowhere to go and are struggling as they're easy for him to exploit #and a41 knows exactly how it feels to be forgotten by society and left to fend for himself with no hope so he just tells them what he wante #to hear as a kid so they'll latch onto him #tbh I wouldn't be surprised if machia had some sad meow meow backstory that caused him to fall for a41 so hard #anyways the point is it sucks the anime took this part out #don't even get me started about how they removed his coat when he was walking among his followers either 😑

Just two ladies solving supernatural mysteries with their undying, kind of feral man servants

#Undead Girl Murder Farce #Undead Murder Farce #アンデッドガール・マーダーファルス #In/Spectre #Kyokou Suiri #虚構推理 #There's a few crossovers I've seen with Kyokou Suiri and some other duo solving mysteries dynamics but I like this one best #Also the newest volume of Undead Girl is out? I gotta read it I feel like I've completely forgotten where we last left off #So glad about this anime LOL is it me or is Tsugaru way more feral in the anime than in the book? #Anyways if I had a nickle every time I liked an occultic mystery anime with a woman/man duo #And the man was immortal and supernatural things were afraid of him #That had an anime air in 2023 I would have 2 nickles which is honestly incredible #Insanity Draws #Insanity of Mojiru

i love you people who go above and beyond to be accommodating without you even asking. a while back I asked the dental assistant person if I could have sunglasses instead of clear glasses when I visit because the lights are too bright for me, and ever since she's made sure to give me the darkest sunglasses she could find every time. and today she--completely unprompted, I didn't even know this was an option--turned off the harsh overhead lights too, and like. I cannot explain how touching it is to have others make changes to help you instead of you making changes to yourself to make things work. i love it very much. so to those out there who put in that effort, thank you :)

#unsure what to tag this its random #humans are good #hopepunk #<- it is to me #there was zero eye pain this time it was so nice #i didn't even know the lights /could/ be off I thought best case scenario was really dark sunglasses #i tried to deal with the clear ones for a few visits (they gave me sunglasses as a kid and then clear when I was older) #but i just couldn't do it it hurt #i don't know what note she left herself in my charts but I appreciate it #and did not expect it #i am very used to changing myself and putting up with things to make it work so #bringing my ear plugs and not complaining when the volume hurts. that kinda thing #i'd kinda forgotten how nice it is to be accommodated

JK Rowling’s books are a building. And she stopped after creating shitty, waterlogged, deeply structurally unsound bluebrints and half the scaffolding. Then left it to the elements (aka her Twitter), damaging it nearly beyond repair.

And the fandom looked at this, and put on hard hats. And they tore down that scaffolding, and took those blueprints and changed it into something that would work, and they built the most beautiful building you’ve ever seen.

The building JK Rowling designed was deeply flawed, it would never pass inspection, it would collapse under its own weight and lack of structural integrity within seconds of being built. The aesthetic design was tragic and hideous and offensive. But the fans looked at all of that, and said to themselves, “this building is fucked up, it will never be good if left like this, and everything about it is terrible and makes zero sense. But goddamnit, I have trauma and I can fix it because it must be done and no one else will.”

JK Rowling may have designed that original building. She may have had the initial idea. She may have built that unfinished scaffolding. She may have drawn those blueprints.

But this building is no longer JK Rowling’s.

#harry potter #jk rowling #this rant brought to you by someone who can and will go to jail for aggravated assault of jk rowling #people say her worldbuilding is good even if the books aren’t #newsflash: a lot of the best worldbuilding in Harry Potter is just headcannons we have forgotten are not in he books #we took her scraps and we made them great #but to her the scraps are enough. to her the scraps are what are great #when in reality the scraps are the part that stop Harry Potter from being great #in reality the characters are one dimensional #in reality hogwarts never faces consequences for the child endangerment #in reality dumbledore is a manipulative and evil fraud #in reality the house elves are abused and only dobby is saved #in reality Snape is an incel and abuses children #in reality dumbledore knowingly left Harry to be abused by his aunt and uncle and sent him back every summer #in reality remus lupin never went to see Harry as a child and never spoke to him after third year beyond the order of the Phoenix #in reality Sirius only broke out of prison to kill worm tail and even if he cared for Harry he stayed in prison for twelve years #never trying to escape #and he may have had reasons but we do not know them #we never get depth for the characters who deserve it #we get depth for an incel of a potions teacher #Draco Malfoy is one of the most fleshed out characters and he’s still a piece of cardboard it just has shitty crayon scribbles of colour #we think the character have personality but it’s just flashes of it filled in by the great acting in the movies #we think the books have worldbuilding and fleshed out character arcs when really it’s just nostalgia and headcannons we think are real #THE BUILDING IS NOT JK ROWLING’S. THE BUILDING IS OURS. #randum thots

my therapist really saved me….

#tw abuse // tw sa #i can’t sleep bc i keep thinking about this. #like i probably would’ve not been here if it weren’t for her #i started seeing her january of 2023… my life has changed entirely since then and she was definitely the one who got the ball rolling #literally so much has changed since then and it’s all because of her #i was so dissociated during our first few sessions #thanks to her i was able to get diagnosed and medicated for adhd. i was able to realize i was in an abusive situation and plan a way out #i was able to focus on myself and my healing and she’s helped me reframe so much of my negative thinking #i was able to process a lot of emotions and become a better version of myself with each session #she’s truly incredible. #i remember the first comment she made about the relationship had been ‘’so it’s like there’s an imbalance of control in the relationship’’ #i had put my partners on such a high pedestal that i had no idea they could be doing anything wrong #and i asked her what she meant and she said ‘from what you’ve been describing it’s sounds like a strict parents and child type of dynamic’ #she told me they didn’t need to understand why i wanted to leave and they didn’t need to make that decision. if that’s what was going to be #best for me the only thing i could do is let them know my reasoning and simply leave. i didn’t need their permission.’’ #i remember being so confused at that realization bc like… i had been putting their emotions over mine the whole time i had forgotten simply #doing what’s best for me was an option… l #ever since then i’ve been putting myself first and it’s been a steady uphill from rock bottom… i’ve made an incredible amount of progress #when i first started with her getting out of bed and walking to the kitchen was incredibly difficult and took all my strength. #yesterday i conquered a mountain!!!!!!! i hiked all the way to the top!!!!! :D #me a year ago thought it was going to take me years and years to recover. as soon as i left i made leaps of progress #im incredibly proud of myself and grateful for her. and my reiki lady she’s also been a great great help. #the silver lining is i realized who really matters. and the relationships i cared about deepened. #my sweet virgo friend was the one who was always like ‘THATS A GROWN ASS MAN WHO CANT UNDERSTAND BASIC CONSENT???’ #LMFAO i would be like ‘but he has trauma and bla bla bla’ she looked me dead in the eyes and said #’jess you said with your last boyfriend that you would never make excuses for a man who was hurting you again. stop defending him.’ #she’s really a gem and i treasure her with my life. i hope she knows i love her. she’s family at this point #she’s also literally saved my life before (like deadass called 911 for help) #im glad i had the support system i had. that was a rough situation with so many layers and im glad i got through it #my 22nd year of life was by far the worst of my life and i don’t ever want to put myself in that situation again. im glad i learned.

Song of the Day: March 27

"Long Time Gone" by The Chicks

#song of the day #I'm still thinking about the Country Songs About Country Songs #this is actually a cover too though I never hear the original around anywhere #(it's by Darrell Scott who is also the originator for 'You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive' #turns out he's got a bunch of songs that got picked up and made somewhat more popular in the hands of other folks. an interesting legacy) #the best lines of this song to sing are also the bits About Country Music--well the whole song's about chasing the love of it #but this bit is bemoaning the kids these days you know. country music isn't what it used to be. why back in my day etc etc #it's so so so much fun to sing too because you get to exaggerate your 'I think's until they rhyme with 'Hank'. excellent work #'we listen to the radio to hear what's cookin / but the music ain't got no soul #now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard / they got money but they don't have Cash #they got Junior but they don't have Hank / I think I think I think / the rest is a long time gone' #it's fascinating to me to think about these songs in (saying 'historical' here is giving me psychic damage but) historical context #because the Darrell Scott original for Long Time Gone came out in 2000 and The Chicks released their version in 2002 #so they were talking about the trend towards American jingoism in country music of the time #versus like Waylon Jennings in 1975 'Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way' #(I typed that and /then/ went back and looked up the release date and I'm so proud I got it right) #already bemoaning the state of country music in the 70s versus good old classic country like Hank Williams Senior sang #(Hank Jr covered Waylon's song in 1981. like yes it's a tribute to his father but also Hank Jr was a big push towards outlaw country #and has a few pretty famous songs himself about not singing like his daddy did. it just seems a strange choice to me) #and then Eric Church put out 'Lotta Boot Left to Fill' in 2009 calling out the shallowness of the country music scene of the time #(talking some only-thinly-veiled shit about a few of his peers in the process) #and then he released 'Stick That In Your Country Song' in 2021 and that /definitely/ put some backs up #that one's a less directed but more direct call-out if that makes any sense #no lines that are direct references to other artists' songs but stronger sentiments overall #not just general 'y'all are getting shallow prioritizing good times and high sales over genuine heart and integrity of craft' #but some straight up 'you have forgotten the face of your father' shit towards country artists and fans alike. the whole industry #a very good righteous-anger song

#sorry about all my polls theyre fun #I’ve been replaying plvaa and I unlocked some forgotten Layton memories #back when I first played AL (it was my first game) #I was at the end of the game and I encountered the 75 puzzle gate #so I had to solve like 10 puzzles at keats #keep in mind this was my first Layton game so I was not the best at puzzles #anyways it took me a while (I had purposefully left some of these puzzles in Keats for a reason) #and the AL puzzle music drove me ABSOLUTELY mad #idk. something about the violin melody got really annoying #especially hearing it over. and over. and OVER #anyways long story over #professor layton #poll

[munch-mumbles]

ive been a little upset about it all night so i need to write out all the things that happened at work today and are bugging me so i can TRY to get it out of my head and actually RELAX bc i just keep pacing in circles around it instead of just accepting it and moving on

#for context i was working frying chicken today. ok so i arrive and literally all the chicken out expires within ten minutes of each other #meanwhile to remake everything takes about an hour 20 #tried my best to get everything out and replaced and make sure i have enough of everything and then take my break bc with chicken there are #few narrow windows to take your break in you have very little control over when it is #get back and while im getting ready for my next fry one of the assistant leaders comes back and passive aggressively asks 'everything ok?' #and when i say yeah shes starts saying how shes 'just checking' because apparently i didnt have enough chicken out for her liking and went #on about how we're in a chicken drive (I KNOW. I WORK CHICKEN SHE NEVER HAS.) #etc etc. i just say ok and she leaves #like 20 minutes later she comes fucking back to rag on me again about how i need to choose my break times better and i need to have more #chicken out there as back up (extremely difficult bc there is literally only so much room in the fryers. the batches i usually make already #nearly completely fill them up) blah blah and then when i try to explain how i WAS making pretty big batches people are just snatching them #up fast she keeps trying to walk out the door right away and keeps stopping and looking over her shoulder to just stare at me while i try t #finish my sentence #and she just. doesnt say anything in response when i do finish she just leaves #so clearly she didnt want a conversation she just wanted to rag on me #then later for cleanup the timing of everything just kept lining up inconveniently so i kept having to get in and out of raw cleaning gear #and slowing myself down and i end up having to stay almost 15 minutes late to finish cleaning #during cleaning i have to go grab a key to the back door to take out my trash and this one coworker i have was standing in the way of the #door. i say excuse me and she just stares at me and goes huh? #and i say i need a key and she barely moves out of the way without responding and she has a look like im bothering her #why are you acting like im being douchey. i just need a key. thats something she does a lot she acts like im inconveniencing her by asking #basic favors . ive stopped asking her to help me open the back door (sometimes needed if i also have raw garbage to take out and therefore #cant touch the key myself) for some reason she takes it upon herself to almost completely close the door after i walk out so when i come #back i have to awkwardly use my foot to reach around and pull the door open #ive asked her before not to do it and she just ignored me #GRAH GRAH. and then like i said in my last rb i realized while i was drivign home i forgot to wash a damn pan #im mostly worried about it because ive forgotten a couple times in the past too . in my defense its a pan i personally dont use but it just #gets left behind from first shift sometimes and then second shifters end up having to make sure its clean #im just irritateddd and im mad im worried about it all. its all little things piling up on each other #LOL I WROTE A LOT MORE BUT THE REST GOT CUT OUT IG I HIT A TAG LIMIT. tumblr voice ok dude quit your bitching !!

[mccleans]

#spent all day helping my best friend move into her new flat #and it was really lovely to be able to be there for her and help her unpack and set everything up #bc her bf (one of my other flatmates) is going travelling for a couple of years in march so obvs he's moving out and they're breaking up #which is why SHE had to move out bc she couldn't afford the rent on a double room by herself #and she's only just moved down the hill like literally a five minute walk which is obviously amazing #she's not ages away yk #and she's moved in with our mutual friend which is nice too #but on a selfish note now i'm left behind in a flat with four 20 year old couples #and i'm now the outside friend like i'm the one who has to go home yk rather than being the one in the home #and i'm just dreading being alone so much of the time like cooking dinner alone and coming home from work and being alone etc #and i'm worried as well that in the new flat they'll get really close and i'll be like forgotten about and left behind #and i know this is all catastrophising and mind reading and all those therapy phrases #but it just sucks. it really sucks #i had to walk home in the rain just now up the hill at half 12 at night #and i cried the whole way because it just all sucks so bad #i knoooooow obviously there's worse problems in the world there's people that are dying kim etc etc #but i'm just very sad about it right now. very very sad about it #so it's 1am and i'm going to sleep and i will wake up at 4am for the match and arsenal better fucking pull through for me #goodnight love u all sleep well appreciate the people in ur life x #also i mean two 20 year old couples lol i don't have eight flatmates

For the fanfic passage game, what about this one from the first chapter of Socially Distant?:

“(She remembered when he said goodbye.

Tobin’s face was like someone watching their pet die but being forced to keep a neutral expression.

Gray thought it was because he was going to miss his best pal and teased him while reassuring him they could still meet online, but everyone else knew the reason was that Tobin had been crushing hard on Gray for years.

It was kinda obvious, really, but Gray somehow never got the memo and Tobin was too scared of ruining their friendship to confess to him.)

(...she couldn’t help but feel sorry for him, if only because she’d already been there. Kinda.

At least being rejected by Alm gave her some kind of closure, but Tobin didn’t even have that. )”

I’m interested to see what kinds of thoughts you had about parallels and the like, if you can remember any. If not, that’s okay too!

Sure, I'll try!

First things first, I've made no secret I believe Tobin has a crush on Gray because his early lines especially read a lot to me as someone who is both not interested in women and, if anything, is actually jealous of Clair.

And while Faye has her feelings for Alm laid way too bare, at least they're recognized by the latter and once he rejects her, she can finally start moving on, even if it's a long and painful process.

Tobin doesn't get even that. He never tells Gray how he actually feels about him and has to watch him gush about Clair in a way he never did and never will about him, his one-sided rivalry with Alm is never taken seriously and at the end he just has to accept he'll never be as good as him and- to be honest, he's often treated as the butt of the joke by the whole group.

I often go on and on about Faye's troubles, but really- Tobin's no slouch either. He might fare better because he's actually good with people unlike her, but I am positive there's a lot of stuff weighing on him he doesn't feel comfortable laying out bare, especially to his close friends.

#ask replies #danganronpa-21 #fire emblem #socially distant #tobin #faye #my rambles #i'm pretty sure 'gay best friend who secretly has a crush on him' is a stereotype but hey. it works in this case #if faye is terrified of being left behind i can't help but feel tobin's scared of being forgotten
