#we have the best conversations

[loveandscience]

me: I'm so hungry, I wish there was food ready to go, I'm too tired to make anything. loving husband: Let me know if you want me to make anything. me: I wish I had fast food or takeout. loving, tired husband who knows he shouldn't be driving: are you going to get some? me: No, I'm just going to starve on the couch. It's okay.

#we have the best conversations #ended up making myself a nice Fatigue meal of peanut butter and nutella slapped on a small tortilla #but hey i chaperoned a field trip and had 4 sessions after #so i did the important things #i say as if eating dinner is not important #omg i mistyped the word driving as tired fuck me #edited now

thinking about how kim dokja thinks he's alone in the world and there is no one in the world who understands him or can possibly understand him.

but. there yoo sangah is. yoo sangah who discusses literature with him. yoo sangah who understands kim dokja bc she is very perceptive about people and very empathetic and also bc they have the kind of friendship where words aren't needed. yoo sangah who read every book in the library about kim dokja bc she was genuinely interested in her friend's life and bc she wanted to understand him. yoo sangah who figured out it was 49 and not real kdj and figured out what he did but didn't say a word bc she understood and respected his decision even though she wanted her friend back more than anything.

yoo sangah who witnessed his mundanity and monstrosity both, and loved him either way. loves him despite every irredeemable quality he thinks he has. yoo sangah who wants to be his best friend in every lifetime and live together right next to each other. yoo sangah, his best friend who understands him without words.

#orv #orv spoilers #yoo sangah #kim dokja #idk i just feel like she gets him in a way that few people do and wordlessly #like ofc she's never been through the things he has and cant relate in that sense #but she doesnt need to bc she just gets him. bc shes really good at reading people and very empathetic #but also their conversations are like.. they have this silent understanding. tacit understanding we have a phrase for it in mandarin #LIKE SHE JUST GETS HIM #THEYRE PLATONIC SOULMATES #THEYRE BEST FRIENDS IN EVERY LIFETIME #PLATONIC DOKSANG ENDS ME. THEYRE MY EVERYTHING #PLATONIC SOULMATES ARE REAL AND THEYRE IT #IS2G!!! #i wrote the post in calm language but im actually screaming and clutching my head in agony

my gun-loving, car guy, "i'm the straightest man i know" brother who just finished baldur's gate 3 talking about astarion:

#astarion #baldur's gate 3 #we had a long conversation about the end of the game #mostly about astarion and karlach #he says he took multiple days to decide how to handle karlach's ending :`D #but i was just so amused by his reaction to astarion lol #he's like ''i loved my paladin's bromance with astarion! he's my best friend!' #and i was like ''oh that's nice i never even got out of neutral approval with him when i was playing paladin'' #and he was like ''you can check characters' approval? o.O'' #so while astarion was def his paladin's best friend‚ i'm not so sure his paladin was astarion's best friend if you know what i mean 😂 #he was also unhappy that his character just let astarion run off at the end without trying to follow him and make sure he was okay #and at gale for making a snarky comment about it #he was like ''i should have let him ascend 😭'' #''if this was real life i wouldn't just let my friend run off like that!'' #also: ftr despite my facetious description above let it be known that my brother is the kindest most accepting brother a dyke could ask for #he just also has a lot of stereotypical ''straight guy'' interests

ultimately when it comes to shipping and fandom space treatment of aspec characters i just don't accept "aro/ace people can still date/have sex" as an answer from nonaspecs. like yeah. mhm. okay. now i think we both know that you're not saying that out of real interest in the diversity of aspec experiences. so you can turn in your seventeen-page essay on why and how you plan to examine this character's aspec identity within the context of a romantic or sexual relationship complete with evidence from canon and peer reviews from multiple aspec people within the next week or i'm putting you in the pit from the edgar allen poe story

#you know. the one with the pendulum #'hey. why are you as an allo person shipping this aspec character like this' #'oh aspec people can still date/have sex!' #'yeah. now can you answer the question that i actually asked you' #like goddamn just say you don't care they're aspec and you want to fulfill a sexual/romantic fantasy with them. that's Fine #it like. sucks. for sure. lotta aspec people will be unhappy with you. but everyone is entitled to their own wants and experiences. #but i'd prefer you just be honest with it rather than using our community's conversation points as retroactive justification #and ONCE AGAIN. you guys are real fucking cavalier with this shit and it shows a real fundamental lack of respect for aspecs #when most of you would NEVER ship a canonically gay character with the 'other' gender. cause again. it would suck. #you can do it. nobody's Stopping you. but it would suck. #and we understand that putting a queer character in situations that erase that queerness is shitty! until it comes to aspec characters! #and whoa... there it is again... people don't consider aspec identities to be queer... crazy how it always comes back to that #anyway. you all know what i'm talking about. have seen many posts about this lately #it is [ long sigh ] unfortunately a very hot button issue with the advent lately of alastor hazbinhotel #which. again. god i wish there were other canon aspec characters to be having this conversation about. #but we'll have to do our best with what we have #aromantic #aromanticism #arospec #aroace #talking #aspec #asexual #asexuality

Last weekend we had the most wonderful day doing 1900 historical reenactment with these lovely ladies we had the pleasure to know! 🥰 We walked around royal gardens, watched the air balloons take off, played with the horses and chickens and had an amazing picnic in a beautiful estate! It was such a dream 😭 I look forward to more incredible events with Anacronicos ❤️

#nips photos #historical fashion #edwardian #photography #historical reenactment #I have so many photos!! it was so fun!! everyone was kind and lovely we made so many friends!! #I'm excited to do more 😭 #this was so outside of our comfort zone and we went for it and I'm so glad we did #there was a crowd following us around and many photographers and all the tourists asked for photos too and were complimenting us 😭 #we met so many kind strangers and everyone would strike conversations even on the train ride back home #it was surreal in the best way I can't believe we did that sajfhkjasf now I want to do this every weekend!!

It has been 14 hours since I found out that, according to Kubo, Byakuya calls Renji by his given name "because Rukia does" and I am obsessed with this information.

This is both the best and worst possible answer to this question. I feel like if you asked Byakuya, this is exactly the reason he would give. However, if Rukia were present, she would lose her damn mind. While I do think Rukia's assertion that Byakuya didn't look at her even once in 40 years is hyperbole, over that time I can imagine Renji's name coming up in conversation once, maybe twice tops.

Like, two weeks before she goes on her fateful mission to the Living World, B's been shortlisting Vice-Captain candidates, and over dinner, real casual:

B: Rukia. You know your friend?

Rukia: My who now?

B: That friend of yours who shouts too much. The boorishly tall one. With the red hair. Is he in Squad Eleven now?

Rukia (wracking her brain frantically for people Byakuya would consider 'her friend'): You mean Renji?

B: Yes, him.

Rukia: What about him?

B: Is he in Squad Eleven? The Sixth Seat?

Rukia: ...maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The next day, Byakuya's office, Renji shows up for his job interview.

B: You must be Renji.

Renji: uhhhhhhhh sure why not?

#byakuya kuchiki #renji abarai #rukia kuchiki #i have spent over 5 years intensely thinking about the circumstances of renji's hiring and it just keeps getting stranger in my mind #i do think b was very excited about having a vice captain who was not picked by his grandpa and he genuinely like renji for an entire 5 min #like he was probably in the best mental state he'd be in for 50 years #'oh yeah me and this rowdy squad 11 guy are gonna have so many good swordfights' byakuya is thinking #'maybe i can even get him to have a conversation with my sister so i don't have to' #and then ::gestures vaguely at soul society arc:: #thank you kubo #and thank you especially to whomever sent this question in #i am kissing you on the lips we will have a spring wedding

Sorry I forgot Hanneman suggested Byleth undress after they show up with a different hair color. And I miss Hanneman. And also while swapping between Houses and Hopes and seeing Hanneman pop up to help in a Hopes paralogue is just devastating since he doesn't ever actually join you at all and I am denied my old man rights.

So I had to draw this. Thank you for understanding.

#fe three houses #byleth #hanneman von essar #i like that Byleth just kinda stares at him and he realizes WHAT HE SAID and the implications and is like #step back uh forget that I said that #like man so zoned in on research he blurts that out and has to backtrack mentally to AH socially bad to say that my bad #if i need to tag this as anything lemme know even though it is a conversation in game basically (minus the marriage) #also if you have never married hanneman i genuinely enjoyed his s support and was VERY surprised and hes just #honestly one of my favorites overall in 3h ?? and im still bummed i cant play as him in thropes like thats just mean #also i think if byleth was like oh well if its awkward to see someone undress randomly #then marriage would solve the awkwardness this is truly the best deduction #which is really funny that i can see it happening with both leths despite my hc of them #with fyleth as bi and myleth as ace i think both would just be like AH cool we can avoid awkwardness by marriage #and hanneman just wants to go lie down in a ditch because he said something like that #and and byleth doesnt even know about religion while working at church school they dont know about school regulations #that wasnt really on their mind to check ok just saying you could tell byleth no to something #and then they just go oh school policies i understand unfortunately #and the person is like no we just meant its frowned upon to do archery practice in the tea garden its not technically illegal just dont??

oh, i am so enamored with the way the lesson of the velveteen rabbit rings true in our modern life. i love that we name our spaceships and write love poems to old buildings. i love that we all cried about the mars rover, that we made her so real that she was no longer a machine but a friend, a companion, a hero.

i love that we become attached to certain mugs, spoons, mason jars. that we develop a strange protective love-hate of our tablets, that we feel weirdly reverent about our new notebook. we name our cars silly things like the crab shack and call our favorite whisk attachment the one great destroyer.

there's a dog statue at my local park that has a golden back and golden head from how often people have pet it. at my college campus, people love an ugly little pointless sculpture we call bacon pants or bacon legs. we assign personalities to fountains, parks, laptops.

i love that our basic instinct is to include others in our community, even where there isn't a real community to speak of. that we love things, even when they cannot physically love us back - for us, the exchange isn't what's important. we give our heart to things so entirely that the thing begins to, in its own way, have its own heart.

the last transmission from the mars rover was not words; it was data. nevertheless, someone translated for her. my battery is low and it's getting dark. they made her last words a poem. they looked at data and saw a soul, a divine spark.

i keep thinking about the first AI born truly free-thinking. i keep thinking about the way scientists and artists talk about their work. how their eyes light up and their hands start moving, how even when they're flat broke and confused and the coding isn't working - there's this love of the thing. i keep thinking that whatever is being born into this new world will be born here on purpose, over a long time, with great energy. that when it arrives, the first thing it will know is most likely the hands of a creator delighted, overcome.

that we made it in our image. that the image we wrote was one of human compassion within ingenuity. that we couldn't make this thing without it being a labor of real-and-true: love.

#okay yes we can have a marxist conversation about how it's dangerous to make the commodity #into a token of love or affection #or how the first truly free-thinking AI will likely be the result of a megacorporation and therefore not have #like the BEST humans behind it #but let me for a minute believe - #even the stoic among us have worked on something #for long hard hours #and in that working #didnt you kind of learn to love it? at least a little if not completely? #and when it was over - it was YOURS #and it having been the result of your blood sweat tears unpaid hours and no leave #still; you know - you MADE something #and that changes how u see it #bc a part of u will have to live in it #..... and from that.... how can we see ourselves #and not love? and not care? #it will come into a world where its god-creator will HAVE to be there #and that moment ....... won't it of course be one of joy? how could it not be? #both machine & man in that moment making a strange and new discovery

I have a question: I haven't read DOTCs but I have read the guides, and the guides Grey Wing is my fave and I've been warned he gets absolutely destroyed in the DOTCs books..so, what are the differences in Guide Grey Wing and SOTC Grey Wing?

BOTC!Graywing only has about a paragraph or so of information on him, and it points towards him being an ancient warlord type. I really like and miss this version, because it reminds me of something straight out of the Seven Military Classics.

We know that he was specifically an ancient leader of WindClan, back before leaders took -star as part of their names. Using some simple deduction from the history we know from SOTC, this means he was a leader before there were official Clans, and before Windstar. Just warring groups without borders.

Onestar refers to him as a tactician, and explains that he invented the practice of strategic placement using stones and drawings in his den like a little kitty war room.

These tactics mostly have to do with battling in open fields, so we can assume;

There were a lot of battles taking place in the moor

Graywing the Wise was involved in a lot of battles, so he could develop and test these ideas.

It's not much, but it's interesting. Paints this idea of a Moorland Warlord... Moorlord, if you will.

DOTC!Gray Wing has a couple of scenes where he's talking strategy or vaguely referencing a tactic, but he spends 3/4ths of his VERY short life having meltdowns at the idea of combat because Hurting My Sweet Brother Makes Us Just As Bad :(

(Camera pans and Sweet Brother Clear Sky is tying a woman to train tracks and cackling maniacally)

MOST of his life is this. He's like 2 years old when he dies of asthma and he only started having opponents to plan battle against in the last few months.

Most of the fights he's involved in before that are spontaneous-- and even less are commanding armies as was implied in BOTC.

He also half leads "WindClan". He's a joint leader with Shadowstar for a while. Anyway, DOTC also tosses him a pity mate because his first two love interests got fridged. His adopted kids like their abusive biodads more; one of them even vows to avenge Tom the Wifebeater, a man she met once who got her mom killed.

Aaaand that's the difference. I think it's obvious I like the BOTC take more.

#SUCH a waste imo because godddd Wind being this Disciple of a Warlord would be so AWESOME #WHY ARE THEY SO ALLERGIC TO THE CATS BATTLINGGG #We literally could have had the zhou dynasty but the erins were not ready for that conversation #Gray Wing AU but he's like the Duke of Qi #A military genius who feels the best victory is over a battle you never had to fight #Maybe I'll let King Arc-of-Park have some of that... #Warrior cats analysis #BOTC

Idiots to lovers is the best trope in the world. Like, the only ones standing in the way of their happy ending is themselves <3

#it’s the best because they could have it all but unfortunately they’re stupid #especially since most often. they just love eachother SO MUCH #and just cannot fathom that the way they feel should ever equate to… oh i don’t know… a conversation?? #they’re so dumb about it all. like yes i would sell my soul for him but we aren’t a couple??? we aren’t in love i just love him #timkon #ineffable husbands #drarry #ships #percabeth #dc #marvel #spiderdads

#i speak words #shitpost #the owl house #caleb wittebane #brother’s keeper au #a reverse of feathers and mud au #in one au we have a good ending where philip didn’t stab caleb and Caleb gets to stay with his witch family while Philip figures out the- #boiling isles on his own and becomes a deceptive criminal in the process! fun times and deep conversations with the brothers ensue as they- #struggle to work out their pent up emotions about the other! drama! humor! but Caleb is so happy and free! #and then we’ve got brothers keeper au #which is. uh #not happy and good for Caleb. like at all. #a fantastic au but that man needs a break #in other words we’ve got the best of both worlds and I love it each of these aus are so good

[lenaellsi]

anyway aziraphale still thinks of morality as black and white with heaven as inherently good and demons as inherently bad and that is an inescapable ideological conflict that cannot be solved by good communication in a relationship where one party is a fucking demon

#good omens #good omens meta #gos2 spoilers #rewatch the conversation. look how happy he is. this is not a compromise he's making for the sake of safety or happiness or whatever #he wants this. he wants heaven. he wants to Be Good. he wants crowley to Be Good. #(he thinks he does. he doesn't. he still has his eyes closed.) #please i am begging people to understand that they are not just talking past each other. there is a Problem here #and it can only be solved by aziraphale going to heaven (into the metatron's trap) and learning for the last time that #there is no source of inherent good or evil in the world. people (and occult beings) aren't Good or Evil. #the world is complicated and we all just have to make the best choices we can. it's scary and it means you have to have faith in yourself #to make those choices. but he has to learn it if they are ever going to be actually happy.
