Oh India, reading your tags for the latest post about Louis´ sexuality -

I think of everyone Louis was the most comfortable with himself the earliest and that confidence is a big part of why *Harry* is the way he is having someone like Louis love and accept you for everything you are so early in life would change anyone and make them confident

Preach!!! I mean I´m not here for that long but I immediately understood that it was Louis, Louis and only Louis who made Harry the way he is now and the way he represent himself, the way he´s comfortable with himself and having confidence to bring some of his most bold and extravagant looks. Because Louis always encouraged him to do it. From encouraging him to paint his nails, to wear a dress if he wants to or that he would look nice even with shaved hair. It just makes me mad that noone *couch couch harries couch couch* knows it by now. He´s the most supportive boyfriend everyone would wish to have tbh.

Honestly, I believe this down to my bones.

As someone who has battled insecurity her whole life, and has Louises in her life, I’m so acutely aware of how that one friend can change your outlook on yourself so completely just by showing up for you and really being like “I love you for everything you are. You can be as weird as you like.”

And that’s platonic love. I cannot imagine the power of having that in a romantic partner and at sixteen no less. That’s the kind of love that makes you invincible, especially if you’re naturally offbeat (which Harry clearly has always been, bless his goober heart). It could have easily gone the other way without that kind of unconditional support and love — really, really easily too, considering management and the pressure Harry was under as a “heartthrob”.

I think what’s especially amazing is Louis was saying things like “just do the whole nail, for God’s sake!” in the early 2010’s, when there was almost zero mainstream conversation about gender expression, and people were still saying shit like “no homo”. And he was saying that at eighteen or nineteen — usually an extremely impressionable age to perform traditional masculinity particularly when surrounded by boys and constantly under public scrutiny.

Thinking about it with that level of nuance and hindsight, you can clearly see that Louis’ confidence and encouragement and love was absolutely extraordinary and waaaaaaaay more mature for, not only his age group, but the time.

In conclusion, Louis is just fucking wonderful, thanks.

Related to this.

Yoo hoo !! I’d like to request Butters, Craig, Wendy, and/or Tweek with a reader who is their older sibling. The reader is in their late teens & has the sarcastic older sibling thing going on, like the same vibes as Rodrick Heffley, Kat Stratford, or Daria. Thank you ^^

butters, craig, wendy, and tweek with a stereotypical older sibling reader

A/N: i'm the youngest out of 4 and my brother was very rodrick coded so this is based off that also i love this gif

butters stotch

honestly being raised by the same parents it's a miracle you didn't turn out exactly like him LMFAO

he is constantly getting noogies from you and whenever you high-five or pat his back you do it way too hard and he goes "owie" and then giggles. or cries idk

if you drive him around or pick him up from school he's always asking if you can stop at mcdonald's and gets all sheepish when you deadpan at him

looooves piggy back rides. put him on your shoulders or back and like pretend you're an airplane and he loves it. and then like throw him onto the bed and he gets all giddy and tells you to do it again

he's always knocking on your door and asking you to play or draw with him. he gets sad if you ignore him or tell him to go away

always dragging you into his games!!!!! like you don't want to but he does puppy eyes to get u to roleplay as professor chaos' enemy (or sidekick!) and if he makes you play with the rest of the kids too they all cry super hard when you destroy them😭😭(esp cartman)

he would forever think ur awesome if you got payback on cartman for him. like idk beat eric up or threaten him and butters thinks you're the coolest person in the world

craig tucker

lots of middle fingers. lots of them

when he flips you off you tug his middle finger up and slam it under his nose (like the 'you have something on your shirt' thing but with his middle finger LOL) and he gets all pissy after

you had to put a 'fuck off' sign on your door to get him to stop annoying you whenever he's bored. you two are always competing for your parents to take your side

you love to tease him about tweek. like you twirl your hair and giggle and kick your feet on his bed talking about how he's finally getting bitches while he's trying to do homework

you keep hiding his hats but somehow he always has another. he's like charlie brown but with blue chullo hats

lots of punching. you punch his arm all the time or swat his head and at first he retaliates but then you hit him even harder and he stops (albeit angrily)

trolls you all the time by messing up your room and fucking idk. he seems like the type of dude to set up a treasure hunt to find like your phone he hid or something LOL he sets up riddles and everything

you beat him up for it

calls you emo when you go through a phase and bullies you for it. you call him a homo and he shuts up

wendy testaburger

you're always ruffling her hair and flicking her forehead. like just in normal conversation it's a habit to flick her head or nose to emphasize a point

she definitely comes to you a lot about her problems, like socially and stuff. always ranting to you about stan in your bed and you're just praying that she shuts the fuck up

you have helped her with a lot of her issues though!!!!! like it's reluctant but you give her a lot of good advice about boys and friendships. even if you gag whenever she brings up her boyfriend

i imagine you listening to like. hard rock or metal when you're going through an edgy phase and wendy either makes fun of you for it or comes into your room and starts headbanging with you. probably both

always wants you to play games and do stuff with her. like she gets barbie and the twelve dancing princesses and is scratching and begging at your door for you to try it with her

and she LOVES just dance. you're like flopped on the couch out of breath because you're old as shit and she's like happily dancing away without breaking a sweat

if you're a girl, she's always making you sleep in her room and do skincare and girl stuff. she calls it 'girls night'. if you aren't a girl she still does it but she doesn't call it that LOL. makes fun of you if you don't want to do it because it's 'for girls'

tweek tweak

if you hit him he hits you back. hit him harder he hits you harder. he gets his ass beat but he is determined not to go down without a fight!!!!

when you work the same shift at tweek bros you're constantly slacking off and blackmailing him into doing all the work and not telling ur parents LMFAO. it annoys him so much

you spook him with like scary stories and stuff because you know he freaks out over it. and you regret it when he comes into your room at 2 am with a blanket asking to sleep in your bed tonight

he tells all his friends how you 'torture and bully him' and how much he hates your guts. but he really can't deny that he appreciates you when you're helping him with a panic attack

asks you how to be cool. you tell him you were just born that way and that he'd never be as cool and awesome as you are. he got sad

he isn't the type of sibling to tattle to your parents, but he will if he's trying to blackmail you or get you to do something for him. and he gets all smug about it too

tease him about craig and he gets super defensive. you pick him up by his collar like a kitten and he flails around all angry. it's hilarious but he forever holds u to a grudge for it

Higgs Monaghan, "Beach Babies," and mind control

We know that the Bridge Baby dolls that Higgs and the Homo Demens used function completely differently than the human BBs invented by Bridges. But did you know they're also otherworldly vessels of extinction itself?

The novelization of Death Stranding suggests that these BB dolls from the Beach ("Beach Babies," as my husband and I refer to them) warp the minds of their users and bend human will towards the goal of extinction.

So... how many of Higgs Monaghan's decisions after meeting Amelie are his own?

The first thing to note is that Bridges BBs react negatively to the presence of these Beach Babies, as seen here when Sam encounters terrorists using them.

Lou does not like these things. Perhaps that's why she points the Odradek at Higgs during their first encounter with him?

The novel introduces us to a porter who visited the Evo-Devo Biologist (referred to as EV in the book) while equipped with one, a couple years before Sam's expedition. He was polite and overall pretty normal at first, but then on his next visit things get... weird.

So... there are holes in reality that using a Beach Baby allows you to see, and that's how the tar leaks from the Beach into the world of the living. Speculatively, this might be how Higgs is able to DOOMS-jump so easily and frequently (and summon tar), without getting exhausted or needing much focus at all, in addition to his level 7+ DOOMS.

Oh, but it gets weirder. And scarier, as soon as Extinction Entities are mentioned.

Wow... he sounds a lot like Higgs, doesn't he? Come to find out, Higgs gave it to him.

But surely this is just him echoing the party lines of Higgs' organization and repeating Higgs' same sentiments... right? Unless...

Important to note, this porter doesn't have DOOMS. He shouldn't be experiencing extinction nightmares, but his Beach Baby is showing them to him.

Whether directly or not, this thing talks to him. Like some eldritch call of the void or an element of a Lovecraft novel, it tells him that extinction is the only answer, the only solution.

EV is, understandably, instantly alarmed when she sees Sam with Lou, relating this story back to him. Sam is quick to connect the dots between that porter, the terrorists, Lou's terror at encountering these other BBs, and Higgs himself.

As they discuss further, a chiralgram recording from that porter begins to play, in which he takes credit for the voidout that killed Heartman's family and explains why he did it.

So then, how is Higgs affected by his own Beach Baby? From his perspective, it doesn't sound good.

We can infer a few things from this:

The Beach Baby acts as the vessel for Higgs' connection to Amelie and her Beach. By the nature of his powers, that's why he's able to DOOMS-jump constantly without getting exhausted, control BTs and timefall, and use telekinesis. Think of it like supercharging a battery; his powers are fueled by connection to the dead, and through Amelie, he's plugged into the dead of five mass extinctions, skyrocketing his DOOMS abilities to their maximum potential.

The Beach Baby (perhaps even Amelie directly, by using it) shows Higgs extinction nightmares beyond the scope of normal DOOMS nightmares, "speaking" to him and giving him forbidden knowledge that fills his mind with thoughts of extinction in terms of inevitability, even without Amelie telling him directly.

(Speculative): Higgs betrayed Fragile because of what the Beach Baby did to him, and perhaps doing so was Amelie's own will disguised as his idea. After all, he turned on Fragile immediately after connecting to the BB doll, severing his closest bond practically overnight. Further, Fragile states (at least in the book, I forget if she acknowledges this in the game or not) that it wasn't Higgs who prevented her from DOOMS jumping with the nuke in South Knot City, but "someone else," who she later determined to be Amelie. Amelie ensured that Fragile had no power in that situation, and that there was no way for her to escape without hating Higgs in the end. Personally, my reading is that Amelie wanted to be Higgs' only option and only remaining connection; she set herself up to be all he had left, the only thing he could focus on. It's easier to control someone who's isolated, scared, and alone otherwise, and would remove the risk of him having doubts about accepting extinction because he had nothing--and no one--left to lose.

(Speculative): The Beach Baby acts as a mind control utility. Whatever hopes, dreams, and beliefs a person has, this BB doll can override them and bend its user's will towards the goal of extinction instead, reshaping their ideology to fit the EE's goals. It's impossible to say how much of this control is direct and tangible, but it grants Amelie a high degree of influence over Higgs' inner world, removing any sense of rebellion against her or instinctive resistance to the concept of total human annihilation.

Established later in-text (too much content to cite and embed), Higgs experiences grandiose delusions surrounding his role in the extinction, falsely believing that he's the one in control, viewing himself as "the bridge that brings the extinction" and is destined to safeguard Amelie so mankind can meet its end. Despite the facts, he genuinely thinks it was all his idea, his plan, and he's the mastermind behind the whole thing, personally chosen by cosmic forces to deliver the apocalypse and usher in a new world after humanity is gone.

As soon as Higgs is disconnected from his Beach Baby by Fragile, his delusions completely shatter and he immediately reverts to cold, hard logic, albeit the kind steeped in self-hatred. His ego does an immediate 180 and he realizes, "it was all make believe,” and "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and righteous fury. Signifying nothing." It hits him all at once: he was nothing but a pawn, a tool, a means to an end, played for a fool. Upon seeing the error of his ways, he can only lament how blind he was. The book decidedly doesn't kill him, instead leaving him on the Beach, "alone, without a person in the world to connect to," thinking, "this is how I'm meant to be," as he remains stranded "with nothing else to do but continue to confess his endless sins."

We'll never know how much of Higgs' mindset and atrocities were truly his own, while acting as Amelie's herald, and how much of it was solely based on Amelie's unseen influence. Just like Lady Macbeth, Higgs is both villain and victim to a greater evil, so to speak.

#the other thing is i don't think amelie fully understood the beach babies. just as bridges didn't understand BBs all that well #she just found them (the first one just Appeared to Bridget on the Beach. nailed to a giant crucifix. and she just. kept it) #but in conclusion i am obtaining a restraining order against amelie on my boy's behalf. i'm suing. emotional damage!!!!!!! abuse!!!!!!!!!! #poor higgs. he really didn't stand a chance. he could've been someone incredible but amelie really said 'i can make him worse' #i'm standing firm on the narrative that higgs is thematically an abuse survivor. not just regarding his uncle #amelie abused him emotionally and psychologically. but y'all ain't ready to talk about that :) #love love love higgs as the imperfect victim. trauma expression and survival is not always pretty or acceptable. it is ugly and violent. #higgs monaghan #death stranding #ds analysis #ds novelization #logan.txt

[seeingteacupsindragons]

Feeling Some Kind of Way after yesterday's chapter, and here's why:

I've said before (I don't know if on Tumblr or Twitter or just DMs or where, but I have said it for a while now), that I was actually glad that YuuMori never even joked about how gay Sherliam are, even though they've had tons of opportunities to, because then they'd have to react to it and dismiss it most likely. And I didn't want them to no homo it with a damn joke.

And then yesterday they made the joke.

And they didn't no homo it.

Sherlock made a sort of frustrated expression in a wobbly speech bubble that looked more like embarrassment than anything and was much less vehement than most of his complaints about Billy constantly teasing him about his affection for Liam. Liam did nothing at all.

And then Billy just changed the subject like, "we ain't got time for that, let's get back to work!"

And they both went with it without another word.

As someone on Japanese twitter pointed out, the only time they'd seen in anime/manga that kind of calm lack of reaction to a third party commenting that two men were married was...Yuri!!! On ICE.

And we all know how that went.

I'm not going to say it's necessarily canon or anything. But this series has way crossed the normal line shonen usually rides with "the two male leads are very homoerotic." This isn't, "Male author makes male protagonist only connect with other men because they don't know how to connect with women." This is obviously very intentional at this point. This feels more like, "How many romance tropes can we cram in here?"

And Japan doesn't write romances the way America and Europe usually does. They write romances where people get married even if they never or barely kissed on page. They don't have the same explicit declarations of romantic love necessarily. That's not really part of their culture.

They have, say, two character swear to each other that they want to live alongside each other and take care of each other. That's the kind of proposals in Japanese culture. And. Well. Look at that.

And I just really needed time to fully process that this happened, because yesterday was much more explicit than I ever, ever expected this series to get about this.

And I still honestly am so floored I don't really know what to do.

I was checking out the official pics on Twitter and it made me think what do you think a ship between Bubba, Dogday, and Kickin would look like?

YEAH, I GOTCHU!!!

💙🧡💛📘⭐☀️💙🧡💛📘⭐☀️💙🧡💛📘⭐☀️💙🧡💛📘

Brilliant boy x kinda smart x not smart at all

OKAY, YOU GUYS, HEAR ME OUT. HAD A LOT OF BRAINSTORMING FOR THIS SHIP NAME BUT HOW ABOUT WE SAY FUCK IT AND CALL IT ✨RECESS PLAYDATE✨ You wanna know why? Because these three little guys are the 3 types of kids in recess. The guy who will probably get in trouble with a teacher, the guy who just wants to play on the swings, and the one kid who stays in the cafeteria or in the classroom doing their homework.

OH, what if Kickin would constantly be dragging Dogday into trouble and BUBBA IS THE ONLY ONE STOPPING THEM FROM KILLING EACH OTHER IN SOME DUMB ACTIVITY.

Literally, Dogday would be "Uuuh... are you sure this is a good idea, Kickin?" Kickin would say yup without hesitation and minutes later they have several broken bones from parachuting with a bathtub. Of course, we gotta need Doctor Bubba on the care.

ALL OF THEM. AT THE SAME TIME. INSTANT CRUSH. NAH, ACTUALLY, NOT EVEN CRUSH, EITHER OF THEM WOULD'VE WALKED U PTO THE OTHER TWO AND GO "Hey what about we date?" AND WITHOUT ANYONE ABLE TO PROCESS IT THEY'RE IN A CHAOTIC RELATIONSHIP.

Damnit I can't take Drag Queen Kickin' out of my head after that one headcanon....... UNLESS... WHAT IF THE THREE OF THEM WERE- GASP

They gotta have to match shirts.

They're so unintentionally gay for each other, but Kickin would be saying "no homo" while they're making out.

PDA? HMmmmmmm... I mean, Dogday would totally go for it the instance he gets the chance, but pretty sure Kickin is too proud to do it in front of everyone and embarrass himself and as for Bubba he'd be too concentrated thinking about something to even notice it.

ACTUALLY, SCRATCH WHAT I JUST SAID. KICKIN WOULD PROUDLY RUN OUT HOLDING BOTH OF THEIR HANDS AND EXCLAIM "MY BOYFRIENDS ARE BETTER THAN YOURS!" TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.

Their date gotta be something goofy as hell yet extremely dangerous. Either that or, for Bubba's sake to not get irritated by the constant dangers Kickin would be dragging Dogday to, a study session with the three of them.

BRO BUBBA WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A MUG SAYING "Got two idiots to look after".

Bubba: "We got McDonald's at home!"

Both Dogday and Kickin: "MCDONDALD'S! MCDONALD'S! MCDONALD'S! MACDONALD'S!-"

Wouldn't be hilarious to think that whenever Dogday tries to show affection, Kickin's first instinct is to say "That's kinda gay bro"

Bobby would have a blast with this relationship dynamic.

HELP NONE OF THEM DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING AS BOYFRIENDS 😭😭😭 BROS ARE CONFUSED.

I got nothing at the moment, I HOPE I DID NOT DISAPPOINT

Hey hey, friendly reminder to everyone who draws humanizations/gijinkas of objects to make sure that you tag your stuff as such!! Other people who are interested in that content can find your artwork much easier that way, allowing them to appreciate the art and maybe share or compare their designs with yours. Some artists are already doing this but every now and then I see an untagged post that the creator forgot or didn't know to tag. It would really help community engagement on all media of humanized objects and it would really help me block out as much of it as possible.

Yeah, I'm the same anon who wrote the "I absolutely hate humanized objects" confession. I got so sick of seeing art of them that I used the tag filter system for the very first time on this website. I had thought I was free, that I would never look at another object gijinka on Tumblr, but I was mistaken. Unfortunately, half of the people who draw the stuff don't properly tag it for some inexplicable reason, so I was unable to fully escape viewing these objects tragically changed into homo sapiens. For some even more unexplainable reason, there isn't a widely used catch-all tag for object humanizations in general, so you have to add several different tag filters for each individual object show. This is inane, and it's driving me insane!! There is no way to truly avoid this type of media without ceasing to look at object show fanart entirely. I really love seeing the things this fandom makes so I don't want to do that, and I think using the right tags would help both people who like and dislike humanized objects. If members of this community regularly tag this stuff better they might enjoy their creations a bit more, and I will definitely enjoy not being constantly plagued by it.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for turning my first ask about this into a copypasta, I suppose??

Me and my teacher have been talking about Robespierre and he told me that there are rumors that he might've been homosexual. He then asked me if that would've affected his reputation. Who made the rumors and who is the subject that made people think that Robespierre was possibly homosexual?

I don’t get how Robespierre being homosexual can be called a rumor when it’s really clear as day? I mean, Robespierre openly admits he’s got a boyfriend in this letter to Maurice Duplay:

Okay, jokes aside, I don’t know when exactly the claim that Robespierre could have been homo first showed up, but as far as I’m aware it wasn’t one that circulated during his life nor one that was among the slanders thrown against him in the aftermath of his death. So if today, the idea of him possibly being gay is not unheard of, I don’t think it was one that affected him and his reputation during his lifetime.

When trying to find exactly from where and when this idea originates, I actually only found somewhat recent works (that said, I know it dates back far earlier than that, I just don’t know who first came up with it). According to Peter McPhee, Jean Artarit presents the following thesis in his Maximilien Robespierre ou l’impossible filiation from 2003:

The psychoanalyst Jean Artarit is at an extreme, offering the insight that Robespierre’s misspelling in an electoral pamphlet of a shoemaker’s name Lantillette as Languillette (“baby eel”) shows a longing to cut off the penis. For Robespierre was apparently a repressed homosexual with a castration complex, a misogynist and pathological narcissist constantly searching for a good father and an all-powerful mother.

There’s also this passage from The Alyson Almanac (1989):

Although Robespierre may have never acted on his homosexual feelings, his strong attraction to members of his own sex is indisputable. His attachment to the handsome Saint-Just, known as "The Archangel of the Revolution,” was the source of frequent rumors.

There’s basically the answer to your question regarding who (most often?) is the subject who made people think Robespierre was homosexual — his nine years younger co-worker Louis Antoine Saint-Just. Although, again, I’m pretty sure the author is mistaken here and that no rumors regarding them being a thing are proven to have existed while they were still alive (right @frevandrest…?)

What makes up the idea of Robespierre and Saint-Just as a couple is mostly a bunch of circumstantials which to be boring fair can be interpreted in a bunch of ways that aren’t romantically and/or sexually linked as well. These include (but are not limited to) both Saint-Just and Robespierre being unmarried (the latter even allegedly shouting ”I will never marry!” in an anecdote, and this despite the fact that we have clues of marriage plans between him and several women, none of which ended in a wedding), contemporaries admitting a certain closeness between the two (examples: 1, 2, 3), Robespierre’s host claiming Saint-Just would go straight to Robespierre’s chamber without talking to anyone else in the family, later allegations of Saint-Just being super handsome (despite the fact that contemporaries just appear to have described him as average looking) and finally the fact that Saint-Just stayed with Robespierre until the bitter end, going out with the aim to defend him on 9 thermidor and dying with him on the scaffold one day later.

[milkdreamspecialmix]

first up on not filtering myself i want to talk about how much i adore how the nations have gone from relative anonymity in the public eye to canonically being used as primary sources by historians and caught by paparazzi press conferences asking about their opinions of each other (which is insane and i love it). i remember a particular segment in which a couple, presumably from the early 20th century iirc, talks about france in particular and the loneliness of immortality, with the couple eventually coming to the conclusion that a mortal life with one another is far better than a long life lived alone (or so they think, the human perception of nationhood is probably very warped because it’s mostly incomprehensible). the only reason they knew of him was because that dude’s ancestors had known about a man that didn’t age, but it wasn’t a “big deal” or a headliner or whatever. it just came and went, life goes on. or maybe nationhood used to be such a bizarre old wives tale that some thought it was horseshit. unless you were high ranking military you may not have ever met one and known it anyway.

it must be really weird to have gone from being akin to a cryptid, hiding in plain sight and constantly renewing official documents and such just so they can go to the liquor store or whatever to being celebrities, sometimes even chased by groups of people for photos and opinions. this is why i really like the relatively new in-canon nation memes on here, they’re so real lol. i think there might be a great deal of corruption in the way people perceive them too which i won’t discuss past scraping the surface.

i just think it’s hilarious to think of modern day alt right nimrods using nations to satisfy their weird insecurities and patriotism, as if they are representational of every weird ass traditional belief about masculinity or race or sexuality you can think of but in reality their fav is a total homo and a humanitarian and the exact opposite embodiment of their own morals in nearly every way. i know nations are technically representational of all citizens good and bad, but that’s too much for me to conceive of right now. we know alfred was about as torn between the last presidential election as americans were perceived to be (any incidents of the hot topic of voter fraud aside), so i’m certainly not trying to paint them all as perfect “blorbos” who can do no wrong and are only representational of my own beliefs or whatever. it goes without saying that the vast majority of them could be considered some type of war criminal. but i also think that’s why their modern day existence is really interesting.

without going too into it, and despite the many shortcomings humans face, most can agree that the world has seen many improvements in recent years, and i think that also represents a shift in the way nations think too. we don’t know exactly how much people influence nations versus how nations influence their people, but i believe it was france who also referred to nations as the vessel and citizens as the passengers. they are a nation bound by their people but they’re also a human with a great deal of free will. i’ll stop here though, i know it can get touchy when we fly a bit too close to the parallels of real human experiences and a bunch of fictional immortal idiots. steering clear of any modern world issue that is anything but amusing and light under the context of this series is wise for obvious reasons

back on the subject of the in-universe nation memes, i’ve thought of making art from the perspective of some weirdo that takes really shitty photos of nations in the wild for social media or whatever (nations, they’re just like us kind of shit). i think it’s neat to think of nations having to avoid the public after being able to hide within it for so long

most folks seem to just shrug at their existence, so maybe their now well known status wouldn’t get in the way of most cultural practices. i get the jist that most people seem to think of them as an anomaly and not necessarily related to spirituality in any way, but i could also see a small subset of pagan folks maybe deifying certain nations too (kemetic, nordic, hellenic, etc.). or maybe it’s a checkmate atheists kind of moment for mortals using nations as proof (or not proof) of god(s) or whatever else. they are practically gods themselves, but i have doubts that most of their superhuman abilities are documented or are anything but rumor and speculation (ie “i hear they can teleport!” and i have an entire ass opinion on that ability in particular) so do most chums think they’re just immortal but with no frills attached? like sure they can come back from the dead but they’re lame and tame tax-paying members of society, or “glorified secretaries” as i once heard someone say. you think government interns froth at the teeth at a chance to work with one just for the anti-aging benefits alone, even at the risk of going a little insane with enough exposure?

i feel like people must constantly pester them about conspiracy theories too. alfred is on hot ones or eric andre getting asked if aliens exist and wtf does he say? he can do whatever the fuck he wants so he’s probably like yeah dude they’re chill lmao and the internet loses their minds. some old crusty nation like england or china gets trapped on a set with philomena cunk for funsies only to be asked about the most inane thing imaginable (several people have made this joke and i really like to think it would happen irl. she got first dibs on those interviews fr)

i think this is also a pretty widely accepted idea but i like to think this all has opened a lot of doors for uh, “nation rights”. like i’ll bet modern day OT and labor laws keep some governments from blurring the lines of overworking someone who isn’t technically or completely human. they’ve probably all got many years of PTO accumulated by now. more world peace relative to the past allows many nations to freely live with those who they want and when they want instead of being forced to live with another due to politics (which may be less common in the modern age, i wonder). sweden adopting ladonia and sealand is another example of a more normal nation life one could hope to live. this shit keeps me up at night but you literally cannot convince anyone that you’re not insane if you tell them this is why you love this series

i hate twitter

i fucking hate it i want to burn it i despise twitter with a fucking passion

this post, look in the tags

it actually rages me and this is why i hate twitter and this is why im going to go into a rant about how these characters actually do have fucking depth and personality to them and that people need to stop pushing their outrageous agendas on people and being toxic xoxo

So, one main point I want to make is obviously Dazai and Chuuya, that's my main point here. They are separate entities as much as they are one. They have their own personalities, their own pasts, their own feelings, thoughts; they're fucking human. But something that a lot of people seem to want to do is make Chuuya's personality Dazai. That Chuuya is salty with him for leaving the mafia, and that Chuuya's "trauma" is Dazai (that man has fucking far worse trauma, Dazai leaving the mafia is not traumatic to him, especially when it had nothing to fucking do with the poor guy), and that his whole being is simply just Dazai. Dazai, the man who admitted that he spent every waking second thinking about Chuuya. The guy who got himself caught by the mafia partly because he wanted to see Chuuya. Are we all forgetting the dead apple scene? It's far more accurate to say that Dazai's personality is Chuuya, jesus fucking christ. That guy forgot to breathe when he watched Chuuya fighting like??? He's so homo, anyways.

Their characters are integral to each other, and they're made for one another (I'm saying this as a character creating thing, not romantically lmao (although-) ) and they compliment each other perfectly, they're perfect rivals. And, they can stand on their own as their own people, their own characters. Yes, whilst we meet Chuuya through Dazai in the series, and we see him as Dazai's ex-partner, the more information we get and the more content we receive about/from Chuuya steadily make him his own individual character, and Stormbringer cemented that.

I'm going to talk about the "Chuuya has trauma from Dazai leaving" thing because I saw it on Wattpad and it pissed me off.

Chuuya's trauma doesn't stem from Dazai, of fucking course it doesn't. It stems from Arahabaki, it stems from not knowing who he is, it stems from N (piece of shit), it stems from all his friends dying, it stems from being betray by his friends; this fucking guy has been put through the fucking mill, and yet the only thing that people like to focus on is how Dazai leaving affected him.

Dazai's defection from the mafia wasn't because of Chuuya, it was because of Oda. This is blatantly fucking obvious, yet again, some people like to think otherwise. Some people like to believe the most abhorrent shit. I swear there was someone one time that said he left because he "couldn't handle his feelings ofr Chuuya" like fuck off oh my god oh my god.

These two each have their own issues and their own traumas separate from each other. Can we please let Chuuya be his own character and let him have a personality without shitting on it?

These motherfuckers will scratch at anything, absolutely anything, to make anything about Chuuya to do with Dazai. Not every bad thing that happens to a character has to be topped by your deluded fantasies. "Oh, Chuuya was tortured? But Dazai-" LIKE NO FUCK OFF. We literally have NOTHING on the man, and you want to make some bullshit up just so that he can, what, be more mentally ill than others? Bruh? I don't know what these people are scheming or planning, but comparing trauma and saying that a character's is worse is so fucking awful and makes others feel like shit. I've always struggled with mine, because I constantly tell myself that worse things have happened to worse people, so I am a hypocrite here. But I understand how trauma works and affects people, and that it affects people differently. Your worst experience could be different to somebody elses, but you'll both be heavily affected by it. Chuuya doesn't show signs of the amount of immense trauma he has (mans internalises it and won't let himself show it because that's how he is pls PLS somebody give this man a fucking hug) whereas Dazai is clearly not right in the head; this doesn't mean you're allowed to say "Oh, Dazai has worse trauma clearly" because we have nothing about his past. We hardly have anything from his time at the mafia except his first mission, and his last. What happened in between for those 3-4 years? We don't know. We know bits now thanks to Stormbringer and Dead Apple about the Dragon's Head Conflict, but we still don't have much to go off. We haven't even had so much as a hint towards the first 14 years of his life, and we don't know anything about those two years he went undercover, except that he was unemployed and frequented Bar Lupin (I always thought about how the bartender felt after finding out about Oda but hey :') ), but other than that, we have virtually nothing on the man. We never know how he's feeling, what he's thinking, etc. He is a complex character, and he's made that way as a character because, and I cannot stress this enough, that is his character. Sorry, I derailed a bit there. Anyways, what I mean to say is that you can't use Dazai being bat-shit crazy as evidence for your delusions. That's his character, and yes, he may be influenced by his trauma, but we can only speculate. Clearly something has gone awry in his life for him to think the way he does and to crave death so badly, and to just be the way he is now. But, as I said before, trauma affects everyone differently. Just because Chuuya doesn't want to fucking kill himself does not mean that his trauma should be brushed aside and glossed over. Chuuya puts up a front because he doesn't want to be weak; all his life people have relied on his ability and his strength and wit to get them through, and even though the Mafia go a different way about it than the sheep, his ability and strength is still utilised; it's like Sigma, and Yosano. Nobody wants to be used, yet they still end up in a cycle of it until someone can come along to get them out of it. Supposedly Chuuya has been taken out of that cycle from the Sheep, but not necessarily so. Yes, the Mafia treats him better. But it doesn't really. Ah fuck I'm making zero sense yikes. Sorry, my bad. Ignore that lol.

ANYWAY sorry to cut this short, but my point still stands that Chuuya's character and personality does not solely revolve around Dazai, the man who has his ex-partner on his mind 24/7 and makes him come save him like a disney princess. Anyways lol.

These characters are their own people, and trauma isn't a competition. You don't have to come up with the most abhorrent shit to make Dazai's situation "worse" and then force that onto everyone else and start berating and belittling them when they don't believe you. ANYWAYS I am so sorry about this, the last few nights have been hectic for me.

Anyways I'll definitely be coming back to this, rn I'm honestly just too fucked to finish <3

have a lovely day/night <3

[winter-angst]

How would the hydra husbands react to figuring out they love/are attracted to each other?<3

Idk what kind of relationship you see them having 😭

(Warning, a bit lengthy)

I can see Brock being instantly attracted to Jack bc as much as he tries to cram down his same sex attraction it rears its head constantly. Of course he denies this to himself, saying he just appreciates a healthy, fit body. (But, oh, his eyes are pretty…) He keep it to himself, forcefully tells himself “he’s just on the boys”. Brock tries to keep a distance but Jack is everything that Brock could ever want as a partner. He’s confident, works in the same field with an unpredictable schedule that would leave others feeling neglected but Jack actually gets and respects it, he always has Brock’s back in and out of the field, shows Brock respect but is also not afraid of contradiction when he feels like Brock is making a bad decision. So they start to hang out more, and Brock finds himself falling in love which is as exciting as it is distressing.

And Jack has finally met someone who can handle himself in high stress positions, has similar stances on life, and is highly competent. Of course he also notices that Brock is attractive. He’s content to let things remain as Brock wants them to be because he enjoys spending time with him (and he loves his job and doesn’t want to risk demotions; and, of course, he enjoys spending time with Brock even if it is only platonic).

But, after Jack saves Brock’s life, Brock feels indebted and decides to push the boundary of comradely relationships and asks if Jack wants to get drinks together after an op. And Jack is startled but quick to agree. They both go home, get cleaned up, and meet up. And it’s during that night that they both realize they each have a magnetic force pulling them together. Jack realizes that not only does he find Brock attractive but that he wants to know him more personally; to see what the man is like behind the scenes.

So they end up making plans to meet up together at the end, something that becomes a trend. They move from team mates to friends. And, the more time they spend together, more. Brock decides to playfully flirt in a pointedly “no homo” way but it quickly proves to be a poor mask to his actual feelings. And Jack quickly picks up on this but goes with it, unwilling to push Brock beyond what he’s comfortable with.

Eventually Brock confesses his feelings, probs after having way too much to drink, and Jack calmly says he feels the same way which stuns Brock. Jack takes him home and they don’t talk for a few days, Brock having a mini meltdown of disbelief because he knows it’s dangerous for job not to mention he’s being more open that he ever has been.

But on like the third day of Brock hiding in his apartment Jack shows up a the door with takeout from their favorite Chinese place and Brock just silently lets him in, waiting for Jack to tell him that what they’re doing is dangerous but Jack firmly tells him he doesn’t care. And by the time Brock is packing the leftovers into his fridge they’ve agreed to try the whole “relationship” thing, with the understanding that it’s very lowkey because neither wants to risk higher ups finding out.

And, as for their relationship Jack becomes Brock’s conscience and ultimate force when it comes to personal conflicts. And Jack loves to take care of Brock, happy to come over and help him clean because he’s chronically messy and yet gets overwhelmed by it. They grocery shop together and Jack helps Brock comes to terms with his food issues (personal hc, sorry lol) and Brock embraces this new way of life with Jack. He soon can’t imagine life without him.

Who else will tuck him into bed after drinking too much? Who else would he call after a nightmare about the horrors he’s seen in the field or trauma of his chaotic childhood? How can anyone else make him feel as important and loved as Jack does?

Brock absolutely becomes co-dependent but Jack embraces that responsibility, focused solely on ensuring that Brock is well cared for and always feels loved and supported regardless of what he’s going through and what mood funks he finds himself in. Even when Brock gets in his head about their relationship, feeling like he’s taking more than he’s giving, Jack is quick kiss him on the forehead and tell him just how much he loves and cares about him and how he doesn’t want to be anyone else ❤️

[bilbobagginsomebabez]

i can be described as nothing less than ruthlessly principled. it's a dangerous quality in a person but i think i may be the one in a million who happened upon some good principles according to reviews so i will share. i was abused as a child by people who suffered psychosis which gave me both an obsessive attention towards harm and an obsessive need for proof before I act, and i love to read. well. it turns out we have an absolute fuckton of data about things that hurt people especially regarding abuse. because people are typically fucking begging you to listen to what hurts them.

and it's like. yeah there's a data threshold. it first has to echo what we know of abuse. all of the -isms and phobias are culturally normalized interpersonal abuses towards a member of a particular group of people. the big abuses of an entire group over another group are built on millions upon millions of the tiny constantly reinforced interpersonal abuses of one human to another human and our collective deafening silence in the face of it.

when a white person does something racist and then gets sad and upset that a person of color was hurt, it's literally fucking classic DARVO. Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender.

Deny: no i couldn't have been racist i would never be racist im a good person Attack: you're the mean person because you thought i was being racist and failed to provide me with enough benefit of the doubt to know i was always being a good person Reverse Victim and Offender: i can't believe that someone would think so poorly of me i'm so nice and so kind and so good i would never be racist or hurt someone else you hurt me by accusing me of being a bad person and i deserve an apology for being taken in bad faith.

like think about it. for real. think about how your bosses treat you and if you would tolerate it in an acquaintance. think of yourself as a human, a full human with a body and needs and a family and a home life and emotions and an extremely social and intelligent animal who figured out that living in groups makes it easier to survive and take care of our loved ones. then think of every single other organism in the species classification "homo" that exact same way.

you know you're safer in a bigger group that cares for you. if you're american, think about how what you're gonna do if you need to crowdfund a fucking medical bill. think about how much we need each other for every aspect of our lives. how many guys it took to cut and harvest the wood that builds every single one of your buildings and the guys that delivered it and the guys that assembled it into your house and the plumbing and electrical guys and more and more and more who make your house possible. think about the people in the factories who do the dangerous work of making the screws of every size and shape that hold every single one of your devices you couldn't live without together. how many people does your life rely on? and don't they deserve to live well? and doesn't living well necessarily mean freedom from abuse? your boss can scream at you and you probably can't do anything about it. why are we in a human group where it's okay for one member to abuse another.

we are a culture that permits abuse. it's that simple. we say that it's okay to abuse someone in certain ways based on certain characteristics. if you refuse to allow any level of interpersonal abuse in your presence, things get a lot more clear and easy to navigate. verbal denigration is verbal denigration. gaslighting is gaslighting. your culture will tell you that there are types of "good" power imbalances, "necessary" checks to autonomy, verbal denigration that is deserved, or types of gaslighting that are required. it's always a lie. interpersonal abuse of any kind is always violent, always cruel, always controlling. there is no variety that is acceptable. structural power imbalances are obvious and abusive behaviors are consistent if you're brave enough to accurately identify them and recognize them for the harm they are everywhere they are.

#this is not evaluated for ways it can be taken wrong. #people have a right to defend themselves defensive action isnt the same as abuse. raising your voice doesn't mean verbal abuse. idfk. #this post feels cursed. it got rbs too fast.

[acepalindrome]

I still love the LOTR trilogy in no small part because it was so unafraid to let the characters be emotional and tender and loving without breaking the moment with some ‘haha no homo’ or a cheap joke to let you know they aren’t taking things too seriously. There are jokes, sure, but when things are emotional? They’re so full of feeling. The big cool masculine action hero tenderly kisses his fallen companion on the forehead with tears in his eyes, holds the ringbearer’s hand and stares into his eyes with so much feeling while declaring that he would have followed him to the gates of Mordor (even when knowing that he can’t.) One of the characters who usually provided comic relief sings an utterly harrowing song while people are dying right outside the city, and later finds his best friend on the battlefield and holds him and promises to take care of him. The main character of the whole damn thing is so full of fear and pain but also so much love for the person who’s willingly walking into hell with him, and they never once try to cheapen or water down those feelings. They hold hands and hug and gaze into each other’s eyes and declare how much they mean to each other with no shame at all. It’s just so wonderful, and I constantly long for more media to be so fearless in expressing emotions and tenderness.

#if you haven’t seen the lotr trilogy please god get on that #it shaped me as a human being

Random Thoughts during the first two episodes of “The Wrong Jedi” Arc from “The Clone Wars”:

• Part one- Random thoughts during The Clone Wars S5:E17 “Sabotage”:

*R7 really is an underrated droid. I hope he gets to shine in “The Bad Batch” with Ahsoka’s drug-smuggling ex.

*Everyone praises Anakin’s flying abilities, but Ahsoka is a pretty badass pilot herself. I guess most of the Jedi are… those reflexes.

*Ahsoka stole Leia’s line.

*I’ve yet to figure out how Ahsoka saves after jumping out of her ship onto Anakin’s where she loses her footing and goes flying back. It seems to defy all logic. Got to hand it to Ahsoka though…. the kid is athletic AF.

*I find it interesting that the Jedi council had enough faith to put Anakin and Ahsoka in charge of the investigation behind the bombing of the temple because they were NOT THERE when the bomb went off and would be impartial, but then decided that Ahsoka did it a few episodes later.

*I like the fact that Barriss just happens to waltz by right before Anakin starts to interrogate Letta. Subtle touch.

*This episode honestly feels like someone on the creative staff binge-watched a few seasons of CSI and said, “Yep. We’re doing it, but in a different galaxy.”

*”I would have thought working for the Jedi paid better.” -Ahsoka. Yikes. Turns out, no. Those poor folks couldn’t even afford to change out their lightbulbs. They were living in a dark, dingy, seedy apartment in practical squalor.

*Letta just slick pushes a dude into Ahsoka so hard that he falls on top of her. I swear, poor Ahsoka constantly gets dumped on in this series.

*Ahsoka takes the high road. Literal, yet symbolic.

*I like how Anakin says , “no one ever said he was dead”… but like, Ahsoka literally said Jakkar was the bomb in the prior scene, so… that was implied, dumbass.

*I really want the backstory behind Letta feeding the nano droids to Jakkar. Was he a willing participant, or did she and Barriss do some real shady shit? Damn. That story could be insane.

*”There are going to be Jedi that disappoint us, Ahsoka” is the understatement of all-time, but I guess we’re working towards that…

• Part Two- Random thoughts during The Clone Wars S5:E18 “The Jedi Who Knew Too Much”:

*Damn. Who invited Palpatine and Tarkin to the Jedi funeral!?

*Jeeze… I know you’re worried about your grieving girlfriend, Ahsoka, but Yoda called for a moment of silence. So, shhhh!

*The glances that Ahsoka and Barriss keep sharing as they walk down the hallway of the temple after the funeral are dripping with homo-romantic undertones, but do go on telling me that Barrissoka isn’t canon.

*”Revenge is not the Jedi way.”-Anakin. Hmm.

*”The evidence seems clear, Ahsoka, nothing will ever change.” - Barriss. Barriss helped plan the temple bombing, and she is realizing that it served literally no purpose. The war is still raging, people are still dying, and she still can’t be with the girl that she loves. Ouch.

*Ahsoka: I hope Chancellor Palpatine knows what he’s doing.

Tarkin: I assure you he rarely does anything without a strategy.

This line basically tells me that Palpatine planned all of this shit out. It’s a ploy to get Ahsoka out of the picture. Palpatine knows that one way or another, it’s gonna happen after all this.

*The look that Barriss and Ahsoka share as Barriss walks away from their conversation in the hallway was the one that forced me to ship them. It took their relationship right on out of the heteronormative lens for me. There is literally NO heterosexual explanation for THAT LOOK. It’s like the storytellers and animators were basically saying, “we can’t do this outright because it’s a cartoon in 2012, but we’re going to sauce it up with this subtext so if you’re paying attention you’ll see it.” That was my “Hold up. Holy shit! WTF is this!!?” moment.

*Ahsoka just watches Barriss walk down the hall alone. Ahsoka’s face is locked in an excruciating state of angst until Anakin notices, then knowing that his little sister is all about this girl is like, “go be with your friend, Ahsoka.”

*I’ve said it before… the conversation that Ahsoka and Barriss have after Ahsoka chases Barriss down the hall doesn’t feel like it’s all about the temple bombing.

*You can tell that Barriss is upset about her life choices. She sort of winces as Ahsoka runs off, as if to say, “I can’t let her find out that I was behind this.”

*Letta asks for Ahsoka because that’s the only Jedi that Barriss mentioned. I guarantee Barriss doted on Ahsoka constantly. Barriss probably had everyone conviced that Ahsoka was the best Jedi ever (to Ahsoka’s peril).

*Ahsoka’s speeder driving feels kinda reckless. I’m not going to judge. I have no right to judge reckless driving habits.

*I still have doubts that it was Barriss who force chokes Letta from afar (and that it wasn’t Palpatine). What I do know is that Palpatine made sure that Ahsoka was in that cell when it happened.

*The “I don’t know what happened” line did sound guilty. I mean, we all know that Ahsoka didn’t do it, but… I can see why others might think that she did based on her actions.

*Tarkin walking all smugly towards Ahsoka’s holding cell to a remix of the Imperial March isn’t at all suggestive.

*”Curiously, the sound isn’t working on this one.” Hmm. Curious indeed.

*The fact that in two scenes prior Tarkin is telling Ahsoka that the facility is secure, and that they don’t let “just anyone” run about makes me wonder how someone just conveniently placed that key card in front of her cell. It is something else. Shit was an inside job.

*So, then the question becomes, “how did Barriss get in the facility, and why is she so damned terrible at improvisation?!” Did she not stop to think that knocking the Clones out would only make her girlfriend look more guilty? Come on, Barriss.

*Anakin and Rex rushing to the prison to try and save their sister’s ass is a peak big brothers move, and you love to see it.

*Barriss then cuts the clones down with the lightsabers, and you just wonder WTF… like, I know you don’t want to get Ahsoka killed, but you’re going to get Ahsoka killed. And, Ahsoka’s just like, “Shit.”

*Now Rex, you know your little sister did NOT kill those clones.

*Anakin’s harebrained Clones-stunning-Ahsoka training may not have prepped her fully for order 66, but it probably did help her in her prison escape. She hella dodges some stun-firing clones in that sequence.

*The scene before Ahsoka goes full on “The Fugitive” is one of my favorites. She’s borderline hysterical, and it’s got so much unfettered emotion (from both her and Anakin, honestly) that you forget for a moment that they’re even Jedi. The yelling, the arms flailing around, shit… You can tell that she feels completely betrayed, but worse, she knows that she’s f*^%ed.

*Anakin let her go. He could have caught her with the force, but he watched her go. He knew she was right.

What r some of your fave Naramis hcs? If this hasn't been asked already lol ^^

Okay where do I start

Narancia was Mista’s Bisexual Awakening. He probably had crushes on other guys before/thought they were attractive, but Narancia was the one that made him realize. Oh shit I’m not just into girls.

On that note they’re both bi. Is bi4bi a term? Because they’re bi4bi.

They’re also both neurodivergent. Narancia’s autistic/ADHD, and you can pry OCD Mista from my cold dead hands.

Their PDA is like. Off the charts. Narancia is super clingy and affectionate, and Mista loves physical touch, so they’re almost always cuddling/hugging/holding hands/etc. If Mista’s sitting down, Narancia will climb into his lap. Narancia’s just standing around? Mista’s going to come up behind him and hug him, or put an arm around his shoulders. They will also go even further overboard if they sense it’s getting on Fugo’s nerves, just to torment him.

(Lowkey, they were also like this before they started dating. The only difference is they don’t do a whole “no homo” routine every five seconds.)

Narancia steals Mista’s clothes constantly. Mista doesn’t care, because he’s enough of a hopeless romantic to get butterflies in his stomach every time he sees Narancia in one of his shirts.

“Lmao babe your sweater smells like shit” “You don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to” “Nope it’s mine forever now :)”

Their music tastes are wildly different with very little overlap, but they’ll sometimes try to make mixtapes that incorporates both. Listening to them is like having horrible whiplash, because they’ll go from the Notorious B.I.G. to Sarah McLachlan with no warning. 

Mista has tried to make them a ~smooching time~ mixtape like a true early 2000s teenager, but Narancia started laughing uncontrollably like three songs in because he put like. Careless Whisper or some shit unironically

A lot of their relationship on the outside is silly shenanigans, but privately, they’re surprisingly good at supporting each other through emotional baggage - and both of them have quite a bit. 

Mista has a tendency to try and push things down for the sake of appearing stable, and sometimes gets too focused on being a caretaker for others without giving himself a chance to let others care for him, but Narancia knows him well enough to notice when it’s happening, and stubborn enough to not let him get away with it. Narancia, to his credit, is actually good at communicating his own feelings. A lot of times, they just need reassurance that the other is with them and there to lean on.

Again, they’re definitely physical touch-oriented, so that definitely plays into their comfort - holding each other as tight as they can, or just cuddling close under a heavy blanket, helps ease their anxieties.

They sing and dance together whenever they’re doing stuff around the house, like cleaning or cooking dinner. Narancia is. Not A Great Singer. But Mista is, so sometimes Narancia just stops and listens to him for a while, and he swoons every time.

I could go on forever, but I’ll stop myself here lol

#i know i'll think of more tomorrow and be like. ugh HOW did i forget to include that #but i will restrain myself from making a whole naramis encyclopedia #jjba #jjba headcanons #naramis
