i don't mean to be utterly obsessed with them but when kelvin gets home in ep 1 keefe tells him he didn't want to sleep in his bed so he slept on the couch which implies there are no guest bedrooms so where the hell was he sleeping when he lived there

#the righteous gemstones #keefe chambers #kelvin gemstone #i know the watsonian answer is probably still on the couch #or some other room was cleared out to turn it into a guest room #however #👀 #literally the next (?) episode he was sleeping at kelvin's place dick to the wind #that alone really gets the side eye going #ALSO was he sleeping in that shirt or did he put it on just to come outside #danny mcbride release kelvin and keefes sleeping arrangement seasons 1-3 #because i would not put it past Mr. Repression to let keefe sleep in his bed with him totally naked because that's what bros do

A spider is living under our bed, she came to visit us today

#Yo dude #hand my the betwixt bar #Erm #totally not righteous! I think you mean Twix bar dude!” #she Appeared on our bed out of noway #we tried to catch her #but she scurried in the crack betwixt our bed and the wall #we will not be sleeping tonight :] #god save our restless soul wstg #we've been Reading so our vocab is wild rn #do you think bill and ted would say betwixt? #Oh god Ted you're right! #That was very excellent of you to bring this conjecture to my attention bro!" #and that was our script for the next bill and ted movie

Watching gravity falls as a kid changed my brain so much. To this day if I'm telling a sad story I'll still add on "... And then the wolves came" to the end. Or if I eat too much food I'll still think "I never wanna eat or do anything ever again." And if anyone ever mentions Jean-Paul Sartre I think "Totally righteous, bro!" "I know!"

[wewebaggit]

All these idiots yapping about Palestine like they're the saviours of mankind and Palestine and patting themselves for hating Noah. (Go ahead. Hate him actually. I hate people for how they wear their hair. Fair enough. And I'm not here nor there on my guess on him being an actual Zionist) But can y'all just not pretend this oooh disappointment is deep? Like please? Can y'all like maybe not reduce it to a teen actor visiting a place and posting about it. Like that's absolutely the worst thing to have happened to Palestine. Whether he posts or not, Jewish people are gonna be visiting Israel. Cuz their holy land is in Israel. Which is why this outcry is fucking stupid and THE BIGGEST EXAMPLE of dumb hoes virtue signaling. Y'all stupid for putting this energy into hating a Jewish guy visiting Israel. They aren't even the largest contributors to its tourism. Y'all dumb bitches need to look at the followers of Christ for that. More than half of the total visitors in some years. But y'all wont. Cuz I see your ass. It's just waiting to shit on Jews and Jews alone. Especially to that one self righteous bitch who is screenshotting other's people's post and calling them dumb. Check yourself. N then check Google for other places EXACTLY in the situation of Palestine. But not glamorous enough for your shiny bleeding heart to post about. Also they have celebs you can shit on for visiting those places. Just so you'd maybe wanna talk about it. Fucking a-holes sermonising about brown people rights when it fucking suits their own skin tone.

"He needs to tell people he's not a Zionist." Ya well everyone going to Saudi needs to scream and shout that they do not support Saudi terror funding and their treatment of migrants. Everyone going to Kashmir must scream and shout that hey we're here for the Kashmiris and not for the occupier forces. Anyone visiting China must also wear a Free Tibet and Free Turkestan shirts. And the whole of the descendants of white colonisers need to tell people you're not a racist, supporter of eco-terrorism, exceptional, bigot, islamophobe, antisemite (funny how both apply), pro-life, anti-black people everytime you visit the corner cafe and post about it on insta. Ya that app owned by that bugger who wanted to take away free internet from brown countries. ("bUt iT's nOt OngOiNg tHo....." bro we're still reeling from that shit and it hasn't even been 100 years so please don't. Neither did that dumb dead hoe Lizzie nor her older than jesus son Charlie who loves to fancy dress has so much as even apologised. Refused to apologise in fact).

Pat yourselves on the back. You fought Zionism with antisemitism and homophobia.

#yes this is a hate post #for people who only talk about shit when it suits them bt also using the lamest frickin point of offense #there were those bitches who thought muslims and Palestinians were interchangeable #noah schnapp #DNI if you're a fucking zionist #DNI if you hate Jews #DNI if you hate Muslims #byler #<cuz u those hoes

You know, my biggest TMNT pet peeve is hilarious because it’s technically canon, but I’m over here always like Stop making Donnie the tallest turtle and Stop making Mikey the shortest. In fact, in my head, all Mikey’s end up the tallest in the future(because I think it’s be funny) but also this definitely has nothing to do with me being the shortest person in my entire family

I love how confused I am rn. 🤣

Are we talking all iterations?? Is Donnie normally the tallest in a majority of them?? Is this just a common thing I’ve never noticed??

I was under the impression that, in everything up to 2012, they were the same size. In Bayverse, Donnie might have been taller than his bros? Was Mikey smallest? Hmmm… May need to do some rewatching.

I know in 2018, the heights are pretty solid in Raph being huge, Leo&Donnie ranging around the same height, and Mikey being the small box turtle.

If we’re just talking 2012, then. I mean. I don’t know what to tell you. That boi is hecka tall and everyone knows it. Donnie straight ignored the fact he was amongst short brothers and decided to follow Splinter’s example instead. Rebellion!

Hey, it deleted some of Raph’s line upon upload >:0

Anyway. With the Mikey thing, I totally get it.

His sizes is always changing on the screen, but people seem to favor his small moments. There are times when he stands at Leo&Raph’s height, and times when he’s smaller. This pic is a pretty good reference for me bc it has a pretty descent overview of their heights. I usually just go with this when writing bc there are a million headcanons and trying to figure out which one is actually canon is my biggest peeve when it comes to sizes.

Ah, yes, I’m sure your righteous frustration has nothing to do with your familial short state of being. *nods wisely* Obviously.

I love a headcanon where Mikey ends up taller than Leo&Raph and ends up dangling it over their heads. 2003&2012 Mikey would have a field day. “Ha! Who’s the little brother now?!” Still you, Mikey.

Unfortunately, I’m biased so 2012 Donnie will always remain the awkward, lanky, tallest cretur in my mind. 💜

[thetrinitytest]

okay. so.

apparently some people are losing their minds over what Rob Wilkins, one of the executive producers on Good Omens, said during a panel at a convention recently regarding the infamous kiss scene at the end of 2x06 and i’m just

y’all are being so fucking weird. of all the things to get upset and antagonistic about, this is what you choose???? lemme break it down for you real quick:

The kiss between Crowley and Aziraphale (who are fictional characters in a TV show) is important and worth exploring further. The number of takes needed to film said kiss (which was PERFORMED by ACTORS who are actually TOTALLY SEPARATE INDIVIDUALS FROM THE CHARACTERS THEY PERFORM AS) and the exec. producer’s interpretation and description of the scene is not. you’re applying the same amount of relevance to the process of filming a scene as you are the fictional contents of the scene itself, which makes no sense!!! like WHO FUCKING CARES BRO

not only that, you’re going after neil gaiman himself over what, fucking semantics???? none of this is relevant to the Good Omens story!! once again y’all blur the line between fiction and reality in the dumbest way possible!! like, how does any of this actually relate back to Aziraphale and Crowley’s (fictional) story? i’ve never seen so many people act so fucking self-righteous and entitled over something that shouldn’t realistically matter at all. genuinely absurd. actually chronically online behavior. shut up, get a fucking grip, go outside, and actually talk to someone face-to-face. This isn’t another ✨meta analysis✨. You just don’t know to fucking behave like normal human beings. Holy shit.

#this shit is so outrageously stupid it makes my head spin #good omens #go2 #good omens 2 #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #neil gaiman #rob wilkins

so i was thinking about lan wangji and how he has this reputation of being righteous while also in my opinion acting like an asshole? like he acts very petty and is ready to pull his sword on people a lot and isn't really involved in politics even in a way that makes sense as a high ranking member of a sect? like the silencing spell on jin ling is uh. bad.

it's like lan wangji has scary dog privilege by virtue of his reputation and his brother and uncle who will wreck you if you do or say anything to/about him. except thats not right because theyre not scary dogs at all, they just protect him. it's like lan wangji is a scary dog and lan xichen and lan qiren smooth things over and stop him from doing something too awful and calm others down after lan wangji does something not too great. and i guess with the reputation for being righteous (second jade of lan) is enough to deter people from saying/doing things like "hey he's a dick" because dude that's hanguang-jun, what are you talking about???".

and the people he saves on night hunts or whatever are random civilians who don't interact with him enough to see him behave badly, and a cool and aloof powerful cultivator saving them gets a lot of leeway on account of being a famous powerful cultivator and also being someone who saved them from fierce corpses or spirits or healed their kid or grandparent or whatever. who cares if theyre quiet and kinda rude they saved their sister!!!!!

so when lan wangji is a dick to jin ling or fucks off from political stuff or is ready to pull his sword on jiang cheng in the jiang ancestral hall or whatever he's doing so with the reputation of hanguang-jun who saves people and also is supported by lan xichen (lan sect leader and brother) and lan qiren (former acting sect leader, uncle, teacher) and they are protective and dare i say overindulgent of lan wangji???? like bro you are a political figure whether you like it or not, your actions have effects on things besides your own direct personal circle. like the heir of gusu lan pulling a sword on sect leader jiang is fucking political incident whether or not theyre both being assholes or not. the adult heir of gusu lan using the lan silencing spell on the teenage heir of lanling jin is a political incident. not engaging with other sects politically, ever, says important things about your priorities and your influence both within the sect and without.

also like. what if something happened to gusu lan? like say lan xichen is injured, and lan qiren is also out of commission for some reason? that means lan wangji is acting sect leader. can you IMAGINE lan wangji as sect leader. imagine it. really visualize it. there's a lot of jokes about lan wangji being a petty bitch and people love it but imagine a petty bitch as a sect leader. the situation would blow up faster than lans get drunk on a glass of wine. like dude. so much stuff would be totally fucked.

anyway lan wangji as he is in mdzs would be a shit sect leader/chief cultivator/etc. he doesn't behave like he's intimately involved in the politics of his world (which he is) and may or may not have training in doing so - maybe he has training and just doesn't do it? which is also really bad, then he would know better and still not do it or help in any way.

#mdzs #meta #mdzs meta #yeah #it's rough #lan wangji #i mean dude is not diplomatic #could do a whole other thing on how lan qiren and lan xichen and nie mingjue are not great on not preparing lan wangji and nie huaisang #for political stuff #i deeply understand why #wanting to protect your younger loved on from shitty realities and keeping them safe and happy #but also they have responsibilities and they may/will fall on them eventually! #like nie huaisang will likely be sect leader someday! esp as nie mingjue's qi deviations get worse and worse post sunshot #i mean nie mingjue is aware and part of the whole thing is protecting him from their sect's damaging cultivation #and taking care of him #but it still isn't good for nie huaisang and nie sect as a whole #and in lan sect its like. lan wangji may not ever be sect leader but we've seen so much bullshit happen before and during sunshot especiall #and wanting to protect him esp after the shit in their childhood with their mom dying #but like. dude. you are doing your younger sibling/nephew/whatever no favors by not preparing them or teaching them what's up #they are in for a rude awakening because as we see with nie mingjue and nie huaisang you can't protect them forever #and people will make judgments and behave accordingly #sucks all around honestly

[mysticbeaver]

I mentioned to @fish-bowl-2 I had an idea for a short mistletoe-centered fic lying by the wayside. Thanks for prodding me to do this, it was a bit tough and I spent too long on this silly thing 🥴 but enjoy the read! (or not)

(The characters are older teens in this)

It Is the Tradition

The front door was opened by a beaming Nazz, not-so-Christmas-y music coming from inside the house.

“Heeeyyy, Snazzy… where’s the partyyyy?

“It’s right here, baby!!!”

Standing right behind his partner, Edd opted for a milder “Greetings”, earning a courteous nod from her.

"Has Ed arrived already?"

“Yeah! He’s…” She glanced back inside and giggled. “He’s showing off his dance moves to Kevin and Rolf, actually.”

She let them in and led them to the living room.

“Hey, people… congrats, Ed, you came early.” Eddy punched his arm. “I guess you get an extra present for this."

"Oooh, I can't wait to see..." He skipped in place with excitement.

Eddy moved on to the other two guests with a wicked smile.

“So tell me, handsome...” He reached up and patted the tall farmer’s stubbled cheek. “Didya get any Christmas present for your boyfriend?”

Rolf’s eyes widened. “Boy… friend?”

Swallowing awkardly, Kevin forced a sneer. “Tch! The comedian’s here… the only gay couple around right now is you guys.”

Edd rolled his eyes to hide his embarrassment.

“I see the well-wishing Christmas regards are being regularly exchanged… very reassuring.”

Eddy checked his fingernails absent-mindedly. “It gets kinda lonely, Kev... I was hoping we could strike up a club!"

“Ech…” Kevin stuck out his tongue. “Mind your own business. Can’t dudes be bros for once? Rolf and me, man…” He gave a strong pat on his friend’s back.

“We’re total bros, ain’t that right, Rolfo?”

“Oh, y-yes, Kevin! Eh…” Rubbing his neck, he made a finger-gun gesture. “Righteous, as you say!”

“Huhuh, Kevo’s taught ya well! Been spending lotsa time together, I see…”

“Rolf’s mom made Kevin that sweater, guys!” Nazz walked in the room with a tray of eggnog glasses. “Isn’t that sweet?”

“Y-yeah!” Kevin put a hand on his hip. “Rolf’s parents are just cool like that.”

The short Ed squinted at them. “Eeehh... I got my eye on you…” He glanced at Nazz with a wink and she winked back at him knowingly.

Kevin decided to focus his attention on Ed, who was shifting his legs and feet along to the music, and with a certain intensity to boot.

"Ain’t gonna lie… ya got some good moves, dude!”

“Hehehe, thanks, Ke-whoa!” SLAM!

Ed fell to the ground with a booming thump - in his fun, he’d managed to tie his shoes together through sheer foot-shifting.

“Wow, yer complimenting Ed now? It sure is Christmas time!”

“Hey, Eddy?" Nazz tugged at his arm. "Could you help me in the kitchen a moment? You always say you're good with food...”

“Hehe, just tell me what you need, honey.”

He licked his lips the moment they walked into the kitchen.

“Huh, I don’t think this needs any help.”

“No, actually…”, she whispered, getting closer to him.

“I need another kind of help… those two are driving me mad!” She waved her arms at him, frustrated.

“Who? You mean…” He let out a wheezy laugh. “I getcha... listen, I'll give ya five bucks if you can just get them under the mistletoe, right now.”

"How?"

"Double Dee once told me about, uh... the easiest solution being the best one! It was called, uh, someone's razor, or something like that..." He rubbed his forehead.

"Occam?"

He stared at her in surprise. "You know this stuff?"

"...It's basic philosophy, dude."

He frowned silently for a moment. "Whatever...", he muttered, reaching for one of the treats on the table. "Mmm, yumm-OW!"

She slapped his hand. "Don't steal!"

"Just one...", he pleaded.

"First we have to execute... Operation Mistletoe!" She laughed.

While Ed and Kevin were trying to convince Edd to dance, Rolf peeked for the umpteenth time at the mistletoe hanging down from the rear archway - he’d been eyeing it since his arrival, and he finally took advantage of the commotion to absent himself and examine it. He moved under it, rubbing his stubbled chin as he inspected the decoration with doubtful eyes.

“Mmm... Rolf is not fooled by the false ornament…”

Edd overheard his mumbling and laughed lightly.

“...hey, Ed, check this out…”

He left Ed and Kevin to trade moves and walked up to the perplexed farmer.

“It’s a fake mistletoe, isn't it? Of course you’d be bothered, Rolf.”

“Yes, it is not a real… mistletoe, as it goes in English. You people like to do forgery of plants, yes? Rolf will never understand…”

Edd shrugged. “Well… sometimes one requires an easy decoration for festivities. The symbolic meaning is what’s important, and this is one of the hallmark symbols of Christmas, after all.”

He saw Rolf was clearly puzzled by his last statement.

“Oh! Are you not familiar with the delightful mistletoe custom?”

Rolf shook his head. “In Rolf’s homeland, it is used in winter solstice celebrations… but what does it have to do with the celebration of senseless spending of consumer goods?"

"Um..."

"Gee, that sounds like something you'd say, Sockhead!"

Edd shushed him with a wave of his arm and collected himself. “Ah, Rolf, well..." He proudly stuck a finger up, jumping at the opportunity to teach something to Rolf.

“It’s a tradition which started in Victorian England, in the nineteenth century. It’s quite simple, really. When two, ehm…partners stand under the mistletoe, well…” He fidgeted with his hands. “They have to kiss each other. That’s it.” He shrugged and chuckled shyly.

“Aahhh…” Rolf leaned his head back in understanding. “Rolf’s ears like this meeting-of-mouths-ritual!” He laughed heartily.

Nazz caught Kevin staring vacantly at his ‘buddy’ and went to pinch his cheek, startling him out of his trance.

“Earth to Kevin…”, she whispered, before grabbing him by the shoulders.

“Sorry, Kev… you’ll thank me for this later.”

She suddenly threw him as hard as she could towards Rolf, making him bump roughly into his taller companion. Rolf had to hold him to keep him from tumbling to the ground - they exchanged confused glances before turning to Nazz.

“W-what the hell was that for???”

“Guuuyyysss…”

Beaming, she pointed above their heads. They looked up, and then at each other. Rolf was still holding him, and both their faces went tomato red.

“Uh? N-no way, dude!”, Kevin stuttered, freeing himself from the grasp.

“Ah-ah-ah, you can’t back out of it, Boxhead!”

“You were right, Eddy”, Nazz laughed. “It was that easy!”

"What are you-" Kevin gasped, suddenly feeling Rolf’s hand on his back, pulling him way too close to his face. The farmer scowled defensively at the others.

“The son of a shepherd will not let our honor be mocked! The tradition will be respected."

Mouth agape, Kevin lost his voice completely when Rolf turned to him again.

“We will show loudmouth Ed-boy and go-go-Nazz-girl, yes?” Grinning, he wiggled his mono-brow seductively before closing the distance between them.

Nazz squealed while Eddy erupted in incredulous cackling.

“Way to shut him up, Rolfy!”

Ed started clapping, soon infecting the others - even Edd couldn’t help but join in the scene. Rolf finally pulled away with a proud smile spreading on his blushing face.

“Hohoho! Many thanks, my friends! Many thanks…” He bowed dramatically to them.

Nazz whooped. “It was about time, you guys!”

“Kevo’s still reeling! Hahaha!”

Dazed, he saw Nazz wiggling her hand at the short Ed, a satisfied smirk on her face - he took out a five-dollar note and eagerly handed it to her.

“W-what the…”, Kevin sputtered. Feeling steam come out of his ears, he pointed a finger at the two accomplices.

“Is this a prank??? ‘Cause I swear…”

Rolf looked at him with a hurt expression. “Did you not enjoy Rolf's kiss?"

Kevin pouted, arms crossed. "Not if it's a joke!" He glanced up at him. “Wait… you’re not kidding?”

Rolf’s frown melted into a reassuring smile.

“But of course, Rolf is not jesting, Kevin-boy!”

Kevin still glared at him. "Alright, then..."

He let his friend pull him in and kiss him softly once more.

“Awww, guys!”

“HOORAY FOR KEVIN AND ROOOOLF!!!"

“Dammit, Lumpy, ya didn’t have to burst my eardrum!”

As the two under the mistletoe separated again, Kevin looked at their audience and finally cracked a sheepish smile. He turned back to Rolf, who responed with a similarly goofy grin.

“It is the tradition, yes?”

[bugeyedfreaks]

2, 5, 12, 23 for each of the Gangreen Gang, and each of the Amoeba Boys

Oooof, that’s a lot! 💀 [cracks knuckles] Well, okay, here we go…

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Ace — I loooooove his sexy leotard! Kidding! I guess in general I just really admire his canonically chill attitude and fine leadership skills. If he wasn’t a wanted criminal he would be a really cool guy to hang out with.

Snake — IMO, one of the funniest scenes in the series is in Buttercrush, when Ace hands Buttercup a bat while Snake is in a junkyard car, and he pleads and begs her not to hit it, fear in his eyes, but she does, and he gets launched into (presumably) the stratosphere. The fact that he canonically survived that is very impressive to me.

Big Billy — The gang needs muscle, and Billy is it, but it’s adorable that he’s such a sweetheart. It really feels like he just goes along with whatever the gang’s doing because, at the end of the day, he doesn’t really know any better. It’s less about doing crime for crime’s sake and just more about having fun with his homies. Despite being so big, he’s the little bro of the gang.

Also I love that he is a cyclops, very cool. 👁️

Li’l Arturo — I love that he can be tossed around like the football or the basketball. His talent is being smol and aerodynamic and I love it (I also love his pride for his deadly comb Maria!).

Grubber — You have to respect a hunchbacked boy who likes horsie rides. That whole sequence with him on the horse at the arcade in Schoolhouse Rocked is so cute and wholesome. …weirdly enough, as strange and gross as he can be (affectionate), there are many other wholesome Grubber moments in the show.

Bossman — His VOICE is just so iconic. Rest in peace, Chuck McCann, and it’s so sad he had to be in the awful reboot before he passed because I’m gonna miss hearing that amazing gangster voice in the future, see?

Slim — 😳 Uh… I…… love that…….. he is…… canonically….. skinny! (Phew! 😮‍💨)

Junior — I love his BOTTOMLESS STOMAAAAACH he has like the Mary Poppins neverending bag of innards. It may be gross, but you have to admit, it is quite the talent.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

I don’t think of specific songs for each of them, but for the Gangreen Gang AND the Amoeba Boys, they both have very iconic theme songs (the GGG’s one is VERY funky, I love it… plus the gloopiness of the Amoeba Boys’ one is veeeeery gloopy and fits them well).

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

Okay, I know you asked for one for each of them, but I truly do look at both gangs as, like, whole units when I think about headcanon stuff. One that I like to think about with the GGG is the origin story I have in my brain of how they all met. I imagine at some point they were all total strangers, just happened to all be green, all happened to wander into the dump on the same day, said, “Hey,” and immediately decided they were gonna be best friends for life and were cool chilling with each other. It’s really stupid, but it makes me laugh thinking about it. 😆

With the Amoeba Boys… I dunno! Never really thought about one for them before. Maybe a headcanon could beeeeee that they’ve been wandering around the Townsville area since the dawn of time, constantly splitting/reproducing/reforming to survive (which is why in modern times they’re almost as big as humans), attempting to cause mischief because they’ve always thought the people they saw doing it were really cool (of course, they’ve always inexplicably had their gangster accents and hats, too). Perhaps back in the day they would bug the Ministry of Pain to let them join in on their chaos so they could help fight Captain Righteous and Lefty. Who knows!

23. Favorite picture of this character?

Again, I dunno if I have the strength to pull from all of my screencaps for ALL of them (because if I do I will never finish this to post it), so I will round it down to two of my faves to represent each gang, inspired from my canon favorites list:

#powerpuff girls #ppg #gangreen gang #the amoeba boys #ask game #sorry my answers are so bad #I should truly devote time to hyperfixating on these kings because they are truly worth it #my energy gets sucked up by the weird monkey boy idk

[tiredstressedemotionalmess]

ok tbh he is a difficult character to make a playlist for if you have suggestions im all ears and this will most definitely be added on to/revised

angel with a shotgun -self explanatory every line this song is him

modern day cain- i know there is quite literally a completely different character in this show meant to be a cain allegory but the theme of constantly claiming youre doing what is righteous despite all the wrongs youve comitted in the process

new invention- bros entire life is thrown on its head constantly this playlist has an obvious theme of devotion/dependency

only hope- AAAAAOGH destiel moment dean is LITERALLY his only hope sorry

ginasfs- same themes as above

this is how i disappear- hes insane

burn bright- me when i take the power given to me and pave my own path

surrender the night- same as above

heaven help us- OUGHH this is also on my dean playlist self explanatory

dont try- dude is on his last leg at any given time

OUGHHHHH ALL OF THESE ARE SO REAL MODERN DAY CAIN,,,, UR MIIIIIIND

i do in fact have suggestions bc i think abt these things a totally normal amount mhm yeah SO-

Sun and Moon by Jon Walker - "i dont need a lot of things i have love and that is everything whats the point of holding on if the two of you just dont belong?" "i dont need the sun and the moon to tell me what to do as long as i have you" DO YOU UNBERSAND MY VISION HERE???? yes yes destiel shit but also his inability to follow heaven's directions and conform and his love for the world and humanity and and and-

Defiance by The Young Veins: pretty much the same explanation as above. "this kind of thing always happens i fell in love again with defiance"

Tell Me It's Okay by Paramore: "tell me it's okay to be happy now because im happy now" LOOK IM PAST THE POINT OF COHERENT EXPLANATIONS RN BUT YOU GET IT RIGHT?????

Hail the Saints by Electric Century: literally the whole entire song is a supernatural song to me but verse four (?) is just. "believe in order, freedom. i believe in order, freedom's flawed freedom's flawed" IDK IT JIST MAKES ME THINK OF EARLY CAS AND HIS STRUGGLE WITH FREE WILL OKAY

Heaven's Gate by Fall Out Boy: yeah so what if most of these are just my destiel? fucking sue me i have a lot of thoughts. the "youre the one habit i just cant kick" part is just sooooooo cas and his devotion to dean and the "i got dreams of my own, but want to make yours come true" AND THE "CAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS A SUBSTITUTE FOR YOUR LOVE" AND THE-

#asks #anyways fucking obessed with the playlist soup thanks for the fuel for my thoughts gonna be thinking abt him a totally healthy amount

[literary-illuminati]

It is, on the one hand, entirely fitting for the metaphysical embodiment of part of New York to be an incredibly smug, slef-righteous hypocrite sneering at the suburbs of their glorious temple to and nerve center of global capitalism. But also, deeply annoying to read.

(A general rule of life that has served me well is to just totally ignore anything written after 2015 that uses 'bro' as a serious category, which may be leaking through here)

#the world we make #n. k. jemisin #sff #pg #stg this book is making me dislike New York out of pure contrarianness

[the-crow-binary]

So i've been thinking about where on the chronology i could put Benedict, knowing i didn't want him to be too close to the modern times... I've looked at every Belmont from Trevor to Richter, and after quite some time, i came to this conclusion:

It would work very well if he was Juste's big bro. And here's why:

It makes a very neat contrast beetween the two. Juste is very talented at magic, so much he relies on it more than on the Vampire Killer. But it's the "good" kind of magic, in the clan's eyes. The same kind of magic Sypha used. Meanwhile Benedict has the worst kind of magic you could possibly have (if i go by Isaac's one dialogue, when talking about Devil Forging: "The most forbidden of arts"). And he is just like Juste, unfortunately, in the sense that he is born naturally talented (and only got stronger and stronger).

There's something... poetic in having your first child born with incredibly dark powers, and the second one being the total opposite. Juste would be the "blessed" child while Benedict is the "cursed" one, in a very obvious way. One is pure and the other is tainted. (Juste literally has WHITE HAIR. It's like God asked "how pure do you want him to be ?" and the parents just went "yes")

It's also quite funny that the parents choosed those names for their children. Benedict meaning "blessed", and Juste "righteous". Like those people really wanted their offspring to be morally perfect, didn't they ? (and then you realise they called their second child "Juste" because the first one was, in their eyes, destined to be "evil" and it makes it actually dramatic. They were clearly desperate for a "good" child)

There's also this obvious parallel, of Juste wishing he could escape his family's fate, while Benedict only wish he could belong to it. Benedict wish he could wield the whip, and Juste only feels like he's forced to wield it, even though he would rather use magic (the VK is a very strong "your family is cursed to hunt the night forever and so are you" reminder to him, while magic and interior design gives him an "escape route", but that's just my interpretation).

Also, Benedict being Juste's bro means Simon is his grandfather. Benedict would be born in 1720, making Simon 51... yeah we can safely assume he was alive. And it's nice, because then we can imagine a very strong "oh shit" moment for him when the baby's born very obviously "cursed"... i mean HE HAD SUFFERED A CURSE HIMSELF IN THE PAST. Granted, it wasn't anything like Benedict's, but still. You can bet he had a moment of panick, wondering if Dracula's curse on him somehow had a different, lasting effect that ended up affecting this child, even though it hadn't done anything to his children. Like it was some kind of twisted game of "okay you can rest now- SIKES YOUR FAMILY'S ACTUALLY CURSED LOL" Anyway i'll tell you right now: the two incidents have no correlation (Benedict is just built different y'know). And Simon will understand it soon enough and calm down eventually, but i still like the idea of giving him a little scare :3

Now regarding how neglected and excluded Benedict will end up being by his own family, one might think that it would be OOC of Simon to be part of this big problem. However: Simon being one of the oldest, he knows more than anybody how dangerous "dark beings" can be. He knows how destructive a curse is, having suffered from one himself before. Of course he would have try to see how to "cure" Benedict, but with no success because you can't just "cure" a power. Eventually he just gave up, cuz he can't "save" him, but he has to protect others (even tho he's getting old and tired), but also, well, he can't just kill him. And then Benedict would slowly stop talking to everybody, or, very little. He would naturally distance himself to everyone because he doesn't feel loved nor accepted. And Simon would be know even less what to do.

AND ALSO JUSTE WOULD BE BORN. And it's so much easier to take care of him than it is for Benedict. There's no complications, no moral dilemma, he can just enjoy his second grandchild's company and help him grow.

Talking about him, since i already established Benedict's younger sibling would've secretly meet with him regularly and learn things from him... wouldn't that be interesting if Juste really was them :3 Little Juste, asking questions and being interested in the dark arts when he was young... :3 Only to be traumatised by it (when Benedict almost killed their dad) and growing to hate it but still thinking fondly of his big bro who he misses very much but can't even talk about. I also think the whole "erasing Benedict" thing would've start before the... incident. With his parents forbidding Juste from talking about him to Lydia and Maxim, for example. The less people knew Benedict outside of the clan, the less shame they would have to suffer.

And then Maxim turns "evil" and Juste has trauma flashbacks :33 We can even take it farther and make him think Benedict was behind Lydia's kidnapping and the apparition of two identical castles (at first), making him ready to face his own bro once again at any moment... but it never happened. At least, not in-game

So anyway, just a few things i've been thinking about... uwu (and i'm not yet finished thinking about it)

#look Juste was only 18 in his game #he'll have the time to meet his bro post-HoD dw #i love the contrasts and parallels we can make with them...... #but maybe there's potential elsewhere too #i just love my boy sm i want to give him the best story i can #and if i can give even more depth to already existing characters in the process #i will #castlevania #castlevania oc #juste belmont #simon belmont #benedict belmont

Screaming Groundhog Day

  What a time to end up without a therapist.The doctor  I’ve been seeing for the last few years turned out to be a war supporter, patronizingly lecturing me about 'the way we were raised to fight fascism as a nation' and implying that my problems will go away if I'll stop 'denying the truth’. She had already been annoying enough, but she's one of the few free specialists in my hometown who at least acknowledged the adult autism and didn't shut me up and hand me a prescription for an antipsychotic. But this was the final straw. 

  The narrow-mindedness of post-soviet psychiatry (like simply denying the existence of disorders and illnesses, refusing to upgrade the diagnostic techniques because why would they, they worked fine 40 years ago) reflects the way of... well, everything here. Most people resent even the slightest hint of them needing to rethink their views or approach of things, and will accept anything, any surreal bullshit, as an excuse not to change. For example - some of the Totally Legitimate Reasons for invading Ukraine, according to our propaganda: 

- Helping the poor people of Donbass; 

- Saving Ukrainians from ‘the Kiev Regime’;

 - Destroying the anti-Russian coalition;

 - The infamous 'denazification', whatever it means; 

- Preventing the war (by starting it themselves, it seems):

 - Protecting the 'traditional values';

 - Restoring the historical justice;

 - Fighting imperialism and colonial mentality (!!!!); 

- Freeing the brotherly Ukrainian nation (which simultaneously both doesn't exist and must be destroyed completely. And saved, yes, at the same time) from the collective West that ruins it;

 - A favourite of mine - the destruction (pardon, the 'liberation') of Mariupol was necessary because the Western Gays wanted to hold their parade here. What a righteous reason to bomb the city.

And it's not even the half of it. Some people are starting to see that something is really wrong, but guess who is to blame for it - everyone else, of course. Why those stupid Ukrainians dare to fight back when we're peacefully and righteously destroying their country?! The audacity. And why these vile inferior countries (Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Luthiania - believe me, the public narrative about these countries isn't much better than 'the Ukrainian question’) are kicking our people out?! Oh, bro, i don’t even know.

Sorry for the rant, my brain is just boiling.

Nino hangs out with Adrien on a totally platonic outing... Or is it?

----------

"Whooooaaa!"

Nino chuckled as Adrien turned in a circle to take in all the different tanks. "Can't believe you've never been to an aquarium, dude."

"Wasn't really part of my education," Adrien mumbled, eyes shining. He walked up to a school of fish which decided at that moment to turn deeper into the tank.

Chuckling at his pout, Nino wrapped an arm around Adrien's shoulders. Not noticing the slight blush at the contact. "C'mon, I wanna show you my favorite exhibit!"

Adrien leaned as close to the glass as he could without touching it. "That's a lot of turtles."

The turtle tank was the largest exhibit in the place. A plaque in front of it stating the turtles where there for conservation and study.

Nino beamed, straightening his shoulders a bit. "Well, y'know, once Carapace showed up everyone realized how cool the little dudes are."

"Oh?" Adrien smirked. "Didn't take you as someone who follows trends."

Stumbling partway through trying to lean casually on a wall, Nino righted himself and fixed his cap indignantly. "I'll have you know that I liked turtles before it was cool!"

"Hahahaha," Adrien covered his mouth, poking Nino below the ribs.

"Hey!" Nino tried to keep hold of his righteous stance but, unfortunately, he was very ticklish. "Heheh- Stop that!"

Adrien's grin took on such a catlike quality Nino swore there was a tail curling behind him. "Look," Adrien pointed, "it you."

Turning, Nino spotted a turtle sticking it's head out of a crevice in the artificial reef. A particularly big fish swam by causing it to duck back in.

Nino raised his arm as though putting it on Adrien's shoulders. Only to pull him down and ruffle his perfect hair.

Adrien laughed as he pulled free of Nino's grip. Mischievous smile firmly in place and looking quite pleased with himself.

For some reason Nino felt his heart skip as Adrien's hair settled into his Chat Noir look. He'd seen it before of course, just... never as a civilian.

Glancing over his reflection in the glass, Adrien made to fix his hair. "Father would kill me if he knew I looked like this in public."

Gently, Nino grabbed Adrien's hand. "I-it looks good like that."

Face suddenly red, Adrien smiled softly. "Yeah?"

Clearing his throat, Nino stepped back a bit. "Of course, bro."

Adrien's eyes fell at the loss of contact.

"Screw your old man."

Adrien's lips twitched at Nino's irreverent comment. "So what are some cool fish around here?"

"Dude, they have the coolest fish, you don't even know!"

Nino spent the rest of the day exhausting his admittedly minor knowledge of marine organisms.

"Cuttlefish!" Adrien rushed up to the cephalopod which changed colors as it was stared at. "Y'know they use their color changing in courtship? They're amazing."

"Alright dude, spill." Nino put his hands on his hips in exaggerated fashion.

"Huh?"

"You obviously know way more than I do about marine biology. That looked like an octopus."

"What? No! You can tell by the shape of it's... Oh." Adrien rubbed the back of his head. "Uh, surprise?"

"C'mon, man. I know you're smart. You don't have to pretend around me." Nino let his arms fall into a more open stance.

"But I liked hearing you explain it." Adrien tapped his pointer fingers together. "Even if you can't tell the difference between a Green and an Olive Ridley."

"That was one time!" Nino tried not to stare at Adrien's smirk. "Have you really never seen an aquarium before?"

"Nope!" Adrien beamed. "But I've read plenty."

"Course you have," Nino sighed.

"What's wrong?"

"I dunno dude. You usually tell me stuff. Like when you told me about..." Nino glanced from side to side before lowering his voice. "About Chat Noir."

"...Oh."

Nino shook his head. "It's dumb, I know. You wanted an excuse to hang. Here I am being all weird because you don't need an excuse. I'm just-"

"This is not how I imagined our first date going," Adrien sighed.

"Yeah, me n- Did you just say date!?"

"Knew we should have gone to the Arc de Triomphe! But Alya was saying how happy you were about the turtle exhibit and I didn't want to come off as a know-it-all, especially about your animal. And now I've made it weird."

Nino blinked as he processed all that. Reaching out to grab one of Adrien's hands again as his best friend tried to wrap his arms around himself. "Adrien you are the weirdest person I know."

Adrien wilted.

"I love that about you, bro."

Head snapping up Adrien's forest green eyes stared directly into Nino's own. A rose tint highlighting his growing grin. "Really?"

"Yeah, man! You know anyone else who can make a leather catsuit look cool?"

The blush bloomed as Adrien's grin spread ear to ear. "Can I kiss you?"

Eyes widening, Nino swallowed. "S-sure!"

The word was barely out of his mouth before Adrien was pulling him close. His lips were so soft for someone with such a strong grip.

Nino's scalp was buzzing as he tried to refocus his eyes. Damn, was Adrien always this hot?

"You have beautiful eyes," Adrien blurted.

"Eh?"

"Sorry, it's just been stuck in my head for so long."

Nino hmmm-ed at how close Adrien still was. "You have beautiful eyes too."

Said eyes gazed at him with such admiration that Nino was more self conscious of staring into each other than he was of the kiss. Clearing his throat, Nino took his hands off Adrien's back. When did those get there?

Nino kept his hand intertwined with Adrien's however.

"So... Does that mean you're okay with dating me?" Adrien's hand was rubbing his head again and his smile was a tad nervous.

Nino squeezed his hand and leaned against his shoulder. "Bro, I'd love to date you."

Adrien beamed. "Cool."

"Never had a boyfriend before," Nino mussed, adjusting his cap.

"I'm sure it's not that different from having a girlfriend."

"True, we just need ta- Wait, when did you have a girlfriend?"

"Oh, uh, y'know how I spent a bunch of time with Kagami?"

"No! My bro's first girlfriend and he kept it a secret from his best friend? I'm hurt."

"Good thing you're there for my first boyfriend then isn't it?"

"Yeah? Tell me about this boy. He cute?"

"Ha! The cutest. And he's got impeccable taste in music."

"Y'know, I think I'd like this guy. When can I meet him?"

"I don't have anything scheduled Saturday."

"Excellent," Nino grinned. "Pick you up at nine?"

Adrien snorted. "I'm picking you up," he guided Nino's hand to the ring on his finger. "Literally."

Nino gazed fondly at his best friend. "Can't wait..."

People who spend to much mental power on hating things are so funny when they try to convince you it's cool.

"Yeah bro, i watched this reboot I knew I would hate so I can say how much I hate it and how it ruin 'art'... I'm totally the cool one for doing this. I'm totally doing something righteous."

You wasted 10 hours doing something you don't enjoy because you mistake the adrenaline rush of being angry for feeling alive...

[sygol]

bro the alignment of your behavior is so unilateral, but i hold no qualms with you. for the subtlety to which you pull my chain offers a walk outside of my comfort zone, while still heeding my boundaries, which is like totally righteous.
