will never get over the fact that sams grief after dean died in season 3 turned him into the same revenge obsessed man their dad became after mary died. the fact that thats not subtext or whatever thats just the show.

#sam pre dean dying being like john pre mary dying is also going to make me insane btw #like i know this logically like it isnt a secret thing hidden in spn. its just the show. but im realising it againa nd its like man i cant #believe this shit. the way their relationship is so romantic despite them being brothers. im abt to kill ppl. insane. #they loved each other so much. waaah

#lego monkie kid #sun wukong #erlang shen #art stuff #haha #awesome #im like eating the flowers #BTW the symbolism isnt st sll romsntic the flowers are ‘brotherly love’ ‘death’ and ‘forgiveness’ so DO NOT interpret them as romantic #theyre brotherd #dont be weird #🐶☀️ #💐🪷🥀 #requiem au

liking romantasy as an ace person who is more sex-indifferent than sex-favorable is so exhausting. there are all these books that look cool but the authors mostly market them based on spicy levels and spicy scenes and it does nothing for me so i just sit here like :| thats nice i guess haha

#nothing wrong with spicy levels btw #but spicy is like a plus for me #i only really enjoy it if i like the romance first so all the marketing is lost on me #which is why i think fantasy romance wip has no target audience at all LOL WHO IS THIS FOR EXCEPT ME SPECIFICALLY #its such a specific niche like #if you like romantasy but queer #and queer as in transmac & nonbinary ppl mostly with ace/aro characters #might have spicy stuff but not much and not for a long time #huge platonic element but the romance is There (I SWEAR) #who wants to read this even #again: this is not a condemnation of romantasy its more a 'i want to read this and there isnt much of it and that makes me sad' thing #ren.txt #i feel like im stuck between regular adult fantasy which is usually very dry and emotionless with no well written relationship to speak of #(romantic or otherwise) #and romantasy which has the emotion i want bUT GOES ABOUT IT IN A WAY I CANT RELATE #*shakes fantasy genres* IF YOU COULD JUST MEET IN THE MIDDLE

#SPEAKING OF BAD KH FANS SAYING WE JUST WANT TO SEE SORIKU BANG #if JT wasnt garbage i would post the clip of him going 'ooooOOOOHHHHhhh' from hercules games #for context: in the second comment theyre referring to a previous one of mine #where i said how i dislike being labeled a yaoi fangirl for shipping soriku #and in the third the 'deviance' theyre speaking of is another of mine where i said some ppl interpret xion being a girl #as sora having gender envy towards kairi #(deviance is a word i see thrown around a LOT by transphobes/homophobes) #i havent bothered to reply bc its just not worth it to try and argue with these ppl but like #1. mention of light tunnel in kh3 with 'definition of romantic love' despite showing elsa and anna #2. 'there is no gay in kh' aka just straight up ignoring strelitzias canon crush on the khux player regardless of gender #anyway. i contemplated just sending the ram ranch copypasta in response #but decided against it. at least for now #this isnt even on the soriku comp btw #this is on the video 'dont worry kh3 is still gay' lol #oh uh minor tw for aku/roku mention

as someone who is extremely queasy and the thought of blood and gore makes me want to power wash my brain, can I ask genuinely what it is about cannibalism that is so intriguing? I swear that I’m not judging I’m just curious bc personally it’s one of those things that I absolutely refuse to let my brain think about

omg yes i can actually 100% so basically it shows a lot in my writing but im a fan of the extremes of human feeling like it's insanely compelling to me to consider the things we do when pushed into the darkest corner of a single emotion, be it love or hate or fear or anger or grief etc etc. we are a deranged species and we do deranged things when we feel too much of any one thing and it's the concept of extrapolating on that until you reach a point of it being too far, too much, too extreme, and the implications of that. we have cannibalism as one of the ultimate taboos, something that is rightfully so abhorred in society that many respond with horror at even the thought of it, and i actually like that about it. i like that we all - like you said - feel a certain repulsion to the initial thought. it's a biological knee-jerk because your brain fundamentally does not want to look directly at it. for the greeks, cannibalism was one of the greatest sins, greater than even murder, because kronos ate his children and zeus himself had no power over such a crime. to talk about the house of atreus again, the crime was so great that for atreus to subject his brother to it meant they were BOTH damned as a result, despite atreus himself not eating anyone. that's how extreme it is. you are inherently blurring the lines between people. there's supposed to be a victim and an aggressor, but when the horror is so unthinkable, what are you left with? most crimes are ingrained into us with strict responses and punishments, but with a crime this great, even after centuries of it featuring in our literature, we still can't look directly at it. that is ridiculously compelling to me.

so that's the bad, more literal side, but then we have love as consumption. again, this is considering the human reaction to a level of obsession and love so intense and unsustainable that it leads you to consuming each other. it's mutual destruction. it's being so tied to another person, so reliant on them, so adoring of them that the only way you can tolerate it is to put them behind your ribs and keep them, like a house keeps its occupants. the act itself - tasting, swallowing, savouring - is erotic. arousal exists in the heights of violence. the opposite of love isn't hate, but indifference, because love and hate are actually more similar than they are different. rather than opponents on a battlefield, they're dancers seperated by a single, fine line, never becoming one another but fingertips brushing, sharing air. loving someone so much you feel crazy, you feel restless in your own skin like it's trying to crawl off of you; hating someone so much that you can't stop thinking about them; sex and violence as intimate acts shared with another person - love as consumption tackles these dangerous crossovers, because the love becomes so intense that it slips into traditionally hateful actions, violent actions. cannibalism; the great taboo. yet done by someone who genuinely sees it as an act of love, received by someone who views it that way. both so entangled and deranged by this single shared emotion. again, insanely compelling to me. and that's not even considering the implication of one person seeing every part of the other. back to your point and what i said about cannibalism being something we cant even look at, you're getting the most disgusting, unseen parts of someone and instead of being repulsed, instead of looking away, you're taking them in your bare hands and putting them to your lips. it's reverent it's religious it's- *my laptop is forcibly taken from me*

sucks that i have to say this bc i like to think people have critical thinking skills but i KNOW some mf is gonna anon me like 'STOP ENCOURAGING ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS >:(' so disclaimer; this is all just fun stuff to discuss and consider, and personally i talk about it almost solely from a writing pov anyway. if you're listening to ethel cain and unironically wanting to emulate that kind of dynamic then maybe you are too young and/or impressionable to be listening to ethel cain.

#and i mean that last note seriously btw like no judgement but if you catch yourself thinking like that #then genuinely take a step back bc you’re no longer viewing it as a piece of media utilitising language tools #im first and foremost a lana del rey girlie ive seen this shit before and i can PROMISE you the intention of this genre of media isnt #‘my partner hits me and i unironically in real life think it's romantic and devoted of him <333' lmao #like im telling you for a fact that you read that wrong and need to re-evaluate #ask

ok ouch fuck you too

#we must imagine silverv shippers enjoying the never ending boulder of them having dialogues like this and never having a romantic relation #honestly theyre something else than platonic #almost selfcest if you wait too long ig sdkflds #but also just soulmates #anyways #on a geniune note i do feel johnny isnt over his exes THAT HE CHEATED ON BTW #Because one has aged like 60 years and has an adult child and the other turned into a mega ai that controlls the tech dimention essencially #BUT #a dumb bitch can dream #the stupid thief and the stupider terrorist should totally elop #or just fuck one time #they need it even if its just to get that weird stuck in the same bubble energy out #tandem jerk off guys <3 #johnny silverhand #cyberpunk 2077

im so serious when i say beau being a hopeless romantic applies to all kinds of love btw like why would you call yourself a hopeless romantic and only focus on one kind of love that is so boring? beau calls himself a hopeless romantic and he's talking about how he almost cried and had pink hearts flutter across his face cause he went to the grocery store and saw that blueberries were on sale

#beau is very like the world is so intense and beautiful even my laundry in the breeze. so imagine how grief fucks up his worldview LOL #:( #actually the thing is his hopeless romantic worldview isnt changed bc hes still like life is so beautiful btw cause i just got a sandwich. #just he does that then he cries an hour later whilst doing the dishes. grief!

Alterous hiccstrid the world just isn't ready for your power yet..

#demiromantic astrid #is real btw.. #hiccup loves her so much he doesn't care if theyre dating or just friends as long as theyre together #its literally implied in rtte 'whatever ypu want us to be' 'there will be a hiccup and astrid always' #their love for each other goes past typical romantic/platonic thats just a fact its why they were like that in httyd-dob #they make me ill #hiccstrid #hiccstrid headcanon #httyd #astrid hofferson #hiccup haddock #rtte #httyd headcanon #i also hc hiccup as arospec no specific label but the like when ur brain processes romantic attraction differently bc of autism i suppose #you could say its just being autistic but theres definitely an overlap (NOT BC we're 'incapable of love' or whatever) #he on some level knows the way he feels attraction isnt 'typical' but doesnt feel the need to investigate further (no im not projecting..) #a modern au!hiccup might identify as arospec tho #aromantic headcanons #moth.txt

It’s actually so mind boggling to me that we are getting a season 5… like we are guaranteed more canon content. No matter what happens we know that if not romantic byler we will have platonic byler. Will is going to be centric in s5 we know this the duffers were clear about it. So there will HAVE to be byler content to close up Will’s plot involving his love for Mike one way or another, it’s part of his coming of age! They’re a team, friends, best friends again!!!! Byler scenes will be in season 5.

NO MATTER WHOS ROMANTICALLY ENDGAME

PAY YOUR WRITERS NETFLIX

#byler #i absolutely love romantic byler #but a lot of their charm comes from their best friendship #best friends to lovers >>>>>> #theyll always be best friends and they will have scenes together #s5 might even overstep the pookiness of s2 byler #guys. #i cant even #this isnt a small fandom for a canceled show this is like an ongoing thing #oh my god #btw i would absolutely still ship them if they ended up not endgame #ships dont have to be canon for ppl to enjoy them #they will be endgame though #byler endgame

Modern Amphibian having two VERY different writing systems for the SAME DAMN LANGUAGE continues to itch at my brain. Like.... common written Amphibian is shown in english lettering, while Newtopian written Amphibian is an ENTIRELY different script and abundant enough in specifically Newtopia that street vendor signs use it, but despite the spoken language derived from it being the same, out characters from outside Newtopia can’t read it

Personally I just mark it as a 'reinforcing the caste system socially as well as politically and physically and financially' thing, esp since education has a MAJOR hand in keeping those socioeconomic castes in place and the pre-established stereotype of newts (specifically from the capital) as educated scholars and politicians just lends itself to that theory. (I can’t imagine the split happened before Andrias's (1k yr, that’s a LONG time for language evolution even with the staying power of written word) reign, given what we see in TCaTK)

#amphibia #bañana post #welcome to blair overanalyzes childrens cartoons for fun and 0 profit knowing it's not that deep #however. i think its fun and entertaining to dig 6ft holes to Make it that deep #this isnt getting into ancient newtopian btw #which is a dead language likely what modern amphibian is derived from #but thats like suuuuuper normal just look at latin and a lot of romantic languages

in reference to hermitshipping/trafficshipping on this blog btw, i've historically never used those tags (other than a few instances where i felt it might be especially needed) on my art just bcuz

1) a lot of times for my art its very vague. like scar and grian are just talking here seemingly but if i myself had shipping intentions when i drew this, should i tag it as trafficshipping?? that's the kind of vagueness that made me decide to just not in general. because

2) i post a LOT of trafficshipping content, so i don't see a need to tag it. if you're someone who doesn't like that content, just block me 👍

#i *will* try to be better about tagging specific ship names tho. that kind of presents a similar problem with the desert duo content but #ehhh i was already kind of doing that anyways. only some of my desert duo content is tagged as scarian even though all of it to me #IS scarian. idk esp since i see them as like secret third thing and not ''normal'' romantic relationship it makes it esp hard for me to #know when to tag that stuff bcuz its like. what is and isnt considered ''romantic''???? explodes #but anyways yes i will try to be better w tagging specific ship names but if you dont like shipping in general i would just block lol #not art #(this isnt targeted at that anon btw they just made me realize that i should probably talk about this lol)

As I walk into the field, lit by the slowly fading light of sunset, I feel your eyes bore into me.

The forest rustles with anticipation, I feel your hands shake from miles away. I know you're there, as I make slow, deliberate strides toward the fence that keeps the wilderness, like you, out of our fields.

The townsfolk stand at the edge of the field from whence I came, watching with fear in their eyes. I do this every friday, and you've ensured I return to my kin safely by sunset of each saturday.

And yet they've not learned to trust me, trust you.

As I hop over the fences, muscle memory proving strong, you nearly step out to embrace me early, just on the cusp of where the villagers could shoot their arrows.

But then you meet my gaze, and falter. You think better of it. You know they'd kill us both for such a display. The forest quiets now, as I tear myself away from your eyes to look back at my kin.

I smile, giving them a little wave. A few of the children wave back excitedly, they eagerly await my visits to you. I always bring back your stories, written onto the birchwood you prefer. The children love them.

They're the only ones in the town who dare to listen.

As I finally take the last step into the verdant path, as I am engulfed by leaves and sticks and grass and you, I laugh. You hold me close, beautiful claws gentle and loving as you grasp my face to pull me down to the moss.

You press a loving kiss to my forehead, a soft chuckle leaving us both as we lay in the bed of moss together. We watch as the twilight sky becomes dotted with small glittering specks, the stars coming down to watch as I tell you my own stories.

Your laugh rings out when I tell you little fables made up by the children, of you and what they imagine you doing. One said you fought a dragon by learning how to breathe fire, another said you were off rescuing faraway princesses and leading them into our forest to stay.

Maybe having an entourage of princesses isn't all that far off from the truth, you jest. Your family tends to be rather dramatic, they're more akin to drama queens, I reply, and your wonderful laugh graces my ears again.

You and I spend the night wandering the forest, the creatures of the night chittering excitedly as we leap over creeks. They adore me, you state matter of factly, and i cannot help but laugh at such a thing.

I am but a townsperson, after all. I may have learnt to respect and adore your forest, and its inhabitants, but I have not shed my skin and become as beautiful and wild as you.

My skills lie in farming, and you say that if I were to stay here my hands would go insane with desire to collect the monthly harvests in a jest.

And you'd be right.

But that's why they adore me, you say after climbing an old wild cherry tree to collect us a feast, they adore me because I am different and new. They enjoy my stories and the children's fables because they have heard all of the forest's tales.

I understand them now, truly, even though I am as plain as you could imagine, to someone who lives in such a beautiful, wild, adventurous place?

The mundane must seem like something out of their wildest fantasies.

im gonna die on the hill that katniss ending up with peeta and having his kids was a horrible ending to her

#blue.txt #this isnt a stupid shipping war post btw i never liked any of katniss's “romantic options” or whatever but like #the whole thing with peeta pressuring her to have his kids when she never wanted kids??? im sorry but that will always be gross to me #all her life she has had no agency and even in the ending where the hunger games are gone she STILL has no agency #because peeta chooses what HE wants and pressures katniss into it #idk what was the point of that #imo ideally she should've just been alone and healing from her trauma #i want her to be happy but i really dont think peeta and the constraints of heteronormativity was the answer for her

gen v is a prime example of shows that in no way need to include romantic subplots but for some reason do… while i am thoroughly enjoying the Aftermath of the Polycule (cate/andre’s relationship) WHY are jordan and marie hooking up? do they even like each other? marie has a more well-developed relationship with like. literally every single other member of the cast besides jordan. it feels like they reached episode four and went FUCK WE FORGOT TO EXPLAIN WHY JORDAN AND MARIE ARE IN THE SAME GROUP fuckin uhhhh they can be making out in the dorm! they had like 3 conversations and all of a sudden they both like each other? this is semi believable for jordan (as they don’t seem to have a personality yet outside of being genderfluid and wanting to be a hero) but for marie this is a really strange twist on her character… hoping they explain it more in further episodes. as it is it’s just. strange and out of nowhere

#i NEVER wldve pegged jordan as a romantic interest #if anything i was seeing a little spark between marie and emma… #but marie doesnt even seem to be a character interested in romantic relationships? homegirl is trying to figure out how to have FRIENDships #let alone a romantic interest #also the guy who plays male!jordan is shit. btw. in my humble opinion #he doesn’t deliver the lines with the same nuance as female!jordan does #there’s no chemistry between male!jordan and marie but there is some between female!jordan and marie #i genuinely think id probably like the ship more if they were both played by fem jordan although i acknowledge that that isnt The Point ofit #IDK!!! #ramblings #overall j like the show so far… HUGE fan of marie. she is so fucking cool #gen v spoilers #gen v #gen v commentary #gen v 1x05 #commentary
