Petition to give Timmie a vision
Give Timmie a vision
Give Timmie's pigeons a vision
One of my biggest issues with Genshin is the fact that little girls can get visions but we didn't meet a little boy with a vision!
You guys really did Timmie dirty... but I guess the pigeons will now defend themselves?

Some thoughts about Bojack Horseman
It just came to me that Bojack saved Eddie who didn't want to be saved, but didn't save Sarah Lynn who wanted to be saved. Here's why I think that is!
In a way, Eddie is a representation of who Bojack is and I believe that's the main reason Bojack saved him. Eddie was the neighbor dragonfly who helped Bojack rebuild his grandparents' summer home in Michigan. Eddie almost kills Bojack and we find out that he feels responsible for his wife's accidental death.
Now, when Bojack went to his grandparents' summer home, he was at the lowest point of his life. His Oscar nomination was rescinded. He didn't save Sarah Lynn's life when he had the chance. Overall, he was in a pit of self-loathing.
Being responsible for the death of someone they cared about is and wishing to die/escape from their life is where their similarities ends.
However, the action of saving Eddie's life is, in a way, both a punishment and an inadvertent wish to be saved.
A punishment because Eddie will have to continue to live with accidentally causing his wife's death. This punishment is also a manifestation of how Bojack feeling punished for being alive.
An inadvertent wish to be saved because throughout the seasons we see Bojack seeking to be saved. He wanted to be saved when he asked Diane if she believes he's a good person. He also wanted to be saved when he went to live with Charlotte to live out his alternate life fantasy.
I'm still not done with the show, but I really love it! Bojak is such a terrible character but, at the same time, that's what makes the show so great. He is both a victim and a victimizer which is very realistic.
The punishment comment might be me reading too much into his actions in that episode.
It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

Anyone else thought it's really strange that the demodogs keep targeting military personnel instead of the civilian characters?
Literally, in the hospital scene, the demodog bypassed Vickie and Robin!!!
Fanfic writer milestone
My readers are engaging with each other and me in the comments and I'm sooooo happy!!!
I try to always respond to comments and my recent WIP finally had readers respond back to me and to each other. It feels great tbh. I always have this fear that my fic and my responses are cringe so this at least alleviate some of this fear 😀

"To take the difficulties, setbacks, and sorrows of life as a challenge which to overcome makes us stronger, rather than an unjust punishment which should not happen to us, requires faith and courage" The Art of Loving by Erich Fromm

Jooin had to take over the gang and met Euihyun early AU
Taeju and Wonyoung messed up with the gang bad enough that their parents had to intervene and take reign. Both alphas lost decision-making privileges and had to listen to their parents' orders, which led them to feel like chastised pups and to work on the schedule of their parents.
The debt of Kim Sahyeok came across Jooin's desk. Taeju and Wonyoung wished to take the money from Euihyun or sell him to the brothel. Jooin, tempered by age, refused and decided to investigate the situation before taking any action. He met with Euihyun and explained the situation to him. Euihyun swore that he did not co-sign the loan and that even if he did, he is poorer than dirt and doesn't have any money to offer. Jooin's heart softened when he saw the brothers interact and how Euihyun is taking responsibility for the child when he is not obligated to do so. He offered Euihyun a home and a job as a waitress in a restaurant. He also insisted to have dinner weekly with the brothers and that he will include this as payment. The agreement included that should Sahyeok resurface, for any reason, Euihyun will let them know and he will get compensated for all the payments he made.
Euihyun accepted the terms of the agreement with Jooin. His life began improving ever since a debt collector became a part of his life. He had a stable job and did not need to work as hard as before. He did not need to pay rent or utilities since Jooin owns the apartment. He can take Euiyoung to his job and did not need to hire a babysitter or leave him alone. The debt collector and his husband were great. They checked on Euihyun daily and had dinner weekly. They encouraged him to study and take the university entrance exam and to seek therapy. Jooin and Taehwa became the closest thing to parents Euihyun had. His only issue with them is that they treat him as if he is made of glass, but considering their entire family is made of alphas, it made sense that they did not know how to treat an omega.
At the same time, Euihyun met Taeju while waitressing one time. He mentioned to Taeju that he knows his parents and how great they are. Taeju, the childish bastard that he is, worried that Euihyun is being courted by his fathers and might become his step-parent. Taeju, not recognizing that he is in love with Euihyun, began stalking him and sabotaging his fathers' efforts. He began interrupting their weekly dinners. He got Euihyun's phone number and began bombarding him with texts and calls to distract Euihyun from his fathers. He completely annoyed Euihyun, who was previously interested in Taeju, but also began kicking his ass.
Jooin and Taehwa heard Euihyun complain about Taeju and his harassment. They were apprehensive about why their son was behaving that way, but also thought to introduce the Kim brothers to the entire family since they felt like Euihyun was their son. Taehwa thought to resolve the issue with Taeju first, because he wished to ensure that Taeju would stop harassing Euihyun and find out the reason behind his actions. When Taehwa talked with Taeju and discovered that Taeju didn't want Euihyun to be his step-parent, he laughed at his son for so long and called Jooin to share their son's misunderstanding. In the future, after Taeju and Euihyun got together, Taehwa would share the story at every family gathering.
Around the same time, Sayheok resurfaced. Euihyun, honoring his agreement with Jooin, told him immediately. However, Sayheok was sneaky and was difficult to catch. Eventually, Euihyun offered to help them by meeting and setting up his sperm donor. Jooin reluctantly agreed to Euihyun's offer. They caught Sayheok and had him work in the brothel. Euihyun got hurt, but not too badly. Afterwards, Euihyun met the entire family. They all adored the Kim brothers as they do in the canon. Taeju continued to be his oblivious self for a year until he discovered his feelings towards Euihyun, then began trying to court him. Ironically, because of his closeness to Euihyun, Euihyun didn't understand his intentions and it took them another year to get together. At first, Jooin was against their relationship because Taeju isn't good enough for Euihyun, but later he began to see how much his son grew and gave his blessings.

Genshin Impact Theory Time
Alice might be one of the descenders.
Exhibit A: In the Archon Quest, she was explaining that the Moon Goddesses offended the Heavenly Principles, which led to Columbina being rejected by Teyvat. Alice also mentioned that the way she talks about the Heavenly Principles will probably make them angry at her, but that they can't do anything to her anyways.
Exhibit B: We know that the rules of Teyvat doesn't really affect the descenders the same way they affect Teyvat inhabitants.
Conclusion: The only reason why the Heavenly Principles can't act against Alice is because she's one of the descenders so she doesn't follow the same rules as the rest.
Driftmark fight happens closer to Vhagar AU
Jace, Luke, Baela, and Rhaena were waiting on Vhagar to land. The night was dark and they can see someone is riding Vhagar but not who. Rhaena was inconsolable while Baela was furious for who would dare steal their mother's dragon at the night of her funeral. Surely only a dragonseed would think of committing such an atrocity.
After Vhagar landed, the children ran to the beach until they reached Vhagar and noticed Aemond. Aemond, still high from his power trip, goaded the four into a fight. The lack of light made the children miss most of their hits so Luke had missed Aemond's eye when he wielded Jace's dagger, but he still caused damage and Aemond was bleeding heavily from a large cut on his face.
Rhaena went and alerted the Knights while one of the Knights enformed a Maester to treat the childern's injuries. Everyone was alerted regarding what happened and they all went to the beach to see the aftermath of the fight. While Aemond did not lose his eye, Alicent was still furious that a bastard did this to one of her children who should outrank the bastards and some girls. Instead of ensuring her child is fine, she stole the dagger from Viserys and lunged at Luke. Rhaenyra defended her child and got slashed instead.
Now, Vhagar let children play with each other with knives and rocks. After all, Visenya, Rhaenys, and Aegon played like this all the time. But some filthy-blooded woman hurt a Valyrian woman, Vhagar cannot let this go. Vhagar let out a warning growl, which made everyone freeze. Vhagar moved her old bones closer to the humans then she took a bite of the green human. She accidentally took others in her bite, but at least none of them had Valyrian blood. Her silly rider was screaming at her to stop. He thought he can control her. She thought he was similar to Laena. Both of them were wrong. Vhagar did not let Aemond ride her again.
After Vhagar ate Alicent and some of her allies, Viserys persuaded Rhaenyra and Laenor to stay in King's Landing. He also invited Daemon and his nieces to live there as well.
Viserys fell into depression because how could his chosen wife hurt his child and how can Vhagar retaliate against her. He always knew that dragons cannot be controlled, but he had forgotten that they are dragons in human flesh. He now understood that he should have married Laena. Alicent was just an Andal girl. Rhaenyra's best friend. Her lady-in-waiting. Basically a servant. He forgot all of that the moment she entered his rooms, but now it is evident how undeserving she was of her position when he looked closely into his children's behavior.
Viserys decided to take another wife since he needs someone to raise his children and take care of him. When he announced his intention to remarry to the Council, no one reacted. They had to remind him that only a moon passed since Alicent's death, but those were the same people who told him to secure the succession the night of Aemma's and Baelon's funeral. Viserys ignored them and continued with his marriage talk. He said that the woman must be of Valyrian descend, either a Velaryon or a Celtigar. All hell broke loose at this. His dear friend began shouted and yelled about the dishonor to his daughter's memory (as if he didn't send said daughter to the King on the night of her predecessor's funeral). Viserys stayed firm, saying that he had to secure the Targaryen legacy. His half-blood childre, Rhaenyra's children, and his brother's children were not enough security for him. What if the other dragons decided to eat them in the future? He had to have potential replacements.
