all of this is also listed in the carrd for easy access, but updated wcs will only be listed here

hand on my stupid heart, the henry epilogue — fe: awakening, inigo & henry & olivia, henry/olivia

synopsis: third ch of the dysfunctionally healthy family dynamic that takes place during their supports while inigo's trying (and failing) to snoop on henry+olivia. wherein henry is on an entirely different wavelength from both olivia and inigo (aka he figured early on that inigo might be his son but rejected the idea on principle) but he still just Gets It

tags: this is just silly. silly and a little sad. and rather yearning. henry is a little insane

sponsored: 0/1500

fun little excerpt: Olivia is strange, even for him. Hmm. Wait, that’s not true. She’s the shy, pretty dancer that joined at the tail end of the Plegian war—he’d consider that pretty normal. But for such a shy person, she sure does get weirdly defensive whenever he says something she doesn’t like, which is a lot! And he still doesn’t get the whole learning emotions thing, but he’s pretty sure Olivia doesn’t go around teaching the whole camp how to frown? Then, alright, Olivia’s strange when it comes to him, that’s for sure, but not anyone else. That's nothing compared to Inigo, though, ahaha.

East of the Sun pt 3, ryuunosuke's (un)grand return — tgaa, heavily implied kazuma/ryuunosuke, bg sholmes/van zieks + post-kazuma getting absorbed into a found family

synopsis: when ryuunosuke first sets foot on london again, he'd expected quite a bit to change from kazuma's letters. but not this much. aka kazuma purposefully didn't tell ryuunosuke abt sholmes/van zieks beyond sholmes visiting the office more and ryuunosuke kind of loses it

tags: post-canon, mild humor, ryuunosuke just goes through it (affectionately) while yearning himself (derogatory)

sponsored: 0/1700

Pushing Up Daisies, that's what you call thaumaturgy sequel — persona 5 royal, akechi & sumire, bg one-sided joker/akechi (that ends)

synopsis: wrapped in the suffocating vines of a perfect reality, akechi goro, without fail, calls yoshizawa kasumi every monday at 9am, never any earlier or later. he won't stop asking her what her name is.

tags: post-royal bad ending, two ppl who lost themselves clawing their way to a bittersweet ending

sponsored: 0/5000 (I don't think it'll be this short but I'll start if 2000 is met)

a long and bountiful life — mob psycho 100, dimple & mob

synopsis: “This is the first and only time I’ll use my hypnosis on you,” he says to a swaying Shigeo, and he knows this is it. (Well, he always did have grand ambitions.)

tags: canon compliant, ending of divine tree arc, angst (ig), regret

(already written: 163) sponsored: 0/1500

fun little excerpt: So, he failed. He loves that kid. He loves that kid and he’s screwed up everything for him, digging from the roots and all: the brainwashing, the mocking, the insincerity, everything he stands for was everything he threw against Shigeo, and the inkling sensation of guilt was easy enough to ignore when Shigeo had gotten full of it and denied his very existence. Easy enough when Hanazawa had stormed in and carelessly flung energy around, easy enough when he just kept proving everyone right about him, perfectly fulfilling their lack of trust and unsavory impressions, their scowls and hatred. He’s used to it! He drank it up! Of course he could take Shigeo like this! Yeah, right.

things older and murker than love [holder title] — mob psycho 100, reigen & mob & hanazawa

synopsis: sometime post-canon, hanazawa walks into s&s with an unusual request: his apartment is haunted. that isn't quite right, but shigeo doesn't know how to tell him that the walls themselves are reaching out to haunt him. (he thinks hanazawa knows, anyway.)

tags: post-canon, in which the haunting is not a person but a place, found family, hopeful ending

(already written: 912) sponsored: 0/1500

fun little excerpt: "You would?" Hanazawa mumbles. The weakened awestruck tone sounds wrong in the office, rejected from every surface and bouncing around with nebulous intent. "I mean—thanks, Kageyama." To Reigen: "No, not like something's in them. It's like—ah, you wouldn't believe me." Reigen raises an eyebrow, the way he would to a particular difficult customer. Except Hanazawa isn't a customer and Reigen's gaze is softer, fond concern shaving away the rigidity of his confidence like a whetstone.

by the cliffside, left wanting — disco elysium, cuno & harry & kim

synopsis: EMPATHY [Godly: Success] — He doesn't have anyone in the world. (The boat not having room for three doesn't stop two detectives and a fledgling hope for change.) aka: cuno goes along with harry and kim for the ending sequence

tags: canon divergence, canon-typical violence, implied/referenced child abuse, slurs (cuno), found family

note: as this is cuno pov, this means there are swears/slurs in like every sentence. oh my beloved awful 13 year old son

(already written: 2642) sponsored: 0/1500

fun little excerpt (literally a swear word in every sentence): "What if I do join the pigs, huh?!" he screams, balling his hands into fists like a goddamn street fighter, and C's face turns three shades of purple like the people in those fucking snuff films she forces him to watch. "Cuno can do whatever the fuck he wants! If you're gonna hold the Cuno back, C, then Cuno's gonna ditch your sorry ass!" He can see the moment she processes each syllable and shoves that catacomb dream out of his old-ass creaky apartment window. Yeah. Cuno's not a stupid fuck. He knows he's in deep shit. He knows C will fucking shank him in his sleep, that type of shit. Then his fucking pig sets a dinky fucker alight and the old world's gone up in smoke.

an old world's haunts — your turn to die, joe &/ sara (one-sided most likely)

synopsis: in every world but this world, sara doesn't lose joe. she can't lose joe. she can't lose joe. (in which sara's utter ruthlessness in the simulations is explored)

tags: major character death (undone, but happens in every 'world' iteration), canon-typical violence (often enacted by sara), emotional manipulation, just. absolute cruelty to survive, the ai simulations.

(already written: 2828) sponsored: 0/1700

untitled canon-divergent au — mob psycho 100, reigen & mogami

synopsis: the world's greatest psychic of the 20th century meets the world's greatest psychic of the 21st century earlier than expected. Somehow, this makes all the difference. aka, in which 12 yo reigen forces mogami to take him in as an 'apprentice'

tags: for want of a nail, nobody is dead, being kind to ppl for fun and profit (it is not fun and there is minimal profit), redemption sort of, found family, non-linear narrative

(already written: 658) sponsored: 0/2000

fun little snippet: But the kid's face reminds him of his own teenage self on the reruns he's unfortunate enough to catch, far-removed from the skin of the drained, lying has-been he's currently wearing. The desire to be someone, to go out of his way to be better is altogether too familiar. Denying this kid now, no matter how pragmatic, feels like betraying the sense of self Keiji perhaps liked best. So he asks, "What's your name?" And makes a mistake.

some sort of remaking — persona 4, kanji/naoto/rise

synopsis: as valentine's day approaches, rise gets hit with the bright idea to teach naoto how to flirt so that they and kanji could finally get it together. that is... not exactly what happens

tags: developing relationship, getting together

(already written: 479) sponsored: 0/2000

fun little excerpt: "No, Naoto-kun, your line delivery's a bit—here, say it a bit slower and try smiling at the end, 'kay?" Naoto-kun, ever the fast learner, follows her instructions to the letter. Which is great, of course! Makes her job easier! Her heart's having a hard time in the face of their sincere smile, though. She didn't think a smile could shine outside of sets.

“It was Helen’s face that launched a thousand ships, but you unleashed Achilles. How were you to know that poets would sing of his rage? – that innumerable men would meet their deaths at the end of his grief-stricken spear? How were you to know when you went to battle in his armor that you would never return to him? – that you had brought about his death as surely as your own? He wept – and his mother in the depths of the sea heard his cries. He wept – and he dirtied his face, and tore at his hair, and wished for death. Eternal glory was not worth the price he paid. It was not worth the loss of you, Patroclus, whom he loved as his own life. What was Achilles to do when his heart burned with you on the pyre? What was he to do when his home became nothing but ashes in a golden urn? He was nearly a god – son of a goddess, best of the Greeks. He fell to an arrow, the poets say, guided by Apollo himself. The poets are wrong. He was nearly a god – but he was mortal, and he fell to that great mortal weakness: love. You would have followed him anywhere, even into death. You must have known that he would do the same.”

Spirit Animal is racist.

Patronus was invented by a transphobe.

I think it’s time we all suck it up and say what we mean: fursona.

[xxlovelynovaxx-deactivated20241]

I know this is a jokey post (rip OPs notes) but a fursona is typically an animal REPRESENTATION of YOURSELF, not an external animal that is strongly meaningful to you and your life/journey.

I've seen daemon and familiar proposed, but to keep in line with the cursedness of the original post, may I suggest: spiritual tamagotchi

do you have any idea how refreshing it is to see a correction/suggestion to this post that actually understands the assignment

Being asexual while playing smash or pass is so fun bcuz I just be lying

[crabussy]

hi trans kiwis and friends. if you haven't seen the news, they're trying to pass a frankly insidious bill in aotearoa to define the terms 'man' and 'woman' based on biological sex. this unsurprisingly reflects a lot of similar cruel efforts happening overseas at the moment. IT HASN'T PASSED YET, but I figured I should speak up about it because this is happening as we speak.

(screenshot from the linked RNZ article)

it seems very fucking bleak!!!! please don't lose hope! it hasn't passed yet and a lot of the shoddy bills suggested by the coalition have been shot down already. it's still worth knowing about. you don't have to share this post if you don't want to. I just know that a lot of my followers are kiwi. if there are any updates as to what we can do to push back against this, I'll make a relevant addition. kia kaha, okay? love you all.

[crabussy]

UPDATE: you can now very quickly and very easily submit a comment on the bill! these will be counted and considered in parliament.

it took me less than three minutes, and that's only because I wrote a whole paragraphs on why this is a stupid idea. all you really need to put is "don't pass this bill" if you want. it'll only take 30 seconds.

if you're able to and you want to, please consider reblogging! the more reach this gets, the better. thank you all so much [:

Please increase your contribution to The Sameer Project.

The Sameer Project Official: Instagram | Linktree

We are a donations based aid initiative for Gaza led by Palestinians,

[volfoss]

[ID: A tweet from The Sameer Project reading:

"Updates from The Sameer Project team in the last two weeks:

13 year old relative of team member hung himself and died, may he rest in peace

The cousin of a team member was killed by a drone, may he rest in peace

One of our team members got injured yesterday with shrapnel in his arms and hit his head from a car bombing in Gaza City

One of our bus drivers got hit with a metal rod on his head today because there was no space in the free bus we provide

When our team member went to the police station to report the bus incident, the station was full of boys from age 11 to 15 years old who were accused of stealing. Levels of desperation are high and the mental health of Palestinians in Gaza is extremely low from a genocide that surpassed the 2.5 years.

On top of all this, mutual aid groups are closing or significantly decreasing their distributions.

Nothing to say but Hasbi Allah wa Nema Alwakeel (Allah is sufficient for me, and He is the best Disposer of affairs)." /end ID]

[the-stray-liger]

A lot of paranormal believers would actually benefit from reading about how hallucinations are much more common than you think and don't necessarily indicate that they suffer from a Scary Brain Disorder. Anyone is 2 sleepless nights away from a hallucinatory episode no matter how neurotypical they are

[the-stray-liger]

Also like hallucinations cover a broad swath of different sensory experiences, not only seeing a scary ghost. In my case my hallucinations tend to be auditory but it is also possible to feel like something touched you. Sleep paralysis hallucinations aren't paranormal happenings that's literally a type of hallucination and EVERYONE has them they're super common. Take my had. You have nothing to lose but your chains

[the-stray-liger]

And btw people who suffer hallucinations as part of a disorder aren't scary or dangerous. Neurodivergencies that include hallucinations don't make people scary psycho killers. Lose the stupid stigma already it's 2026 bitch

[halfmoonism]

do you ever think of me and my two hands

natsuyuu, reiko/souko || major spoilers, set during tell me your name arc

Her name is a mystery, and this girl, Souko likes very much. (Souko has a dream she won’t remember about a girl she always will.)

a/n: YAYYYY HAPPY BIRTHDAY @cherryots !!!!!! have some doomed yuri that has probably been done to death but. i care them :D I wanted to write smth for natsume and nyanko-sensei too but I'm still thinking abt what exactly I want to touch on w them (and what it means to have a home et al). there's horrible exorcists too but I will save the natori gets twt cancelled shenanigans for a different day :p

Even before she opens her eyes, a low huff of laughter slides into her consciousness and Souko holds her breath. Always holds herself still, around this mystery girl with the brittle voice and captivating eyes.

Her name is a mystery, and this girl, Souko likes very much.

“Hey,” a voice says. “You have to go soon. Wake up.”

A chuckle stumbles out of her mouth, clumsy as the rest of her, but Souko takes it as a sign to rub the sleep from her eyes and sit up. What greets her is—

—ah.

The girl is in her reach again, relaxed among the weeds.

“…Souko,” she says, her voice a kaleidoscope of emotion. So much so that she can’t catch anything tangible on it. “About my name…”

Souko stills her nervous hands.

Something—

Something’s telling her that if this girl gives her what she’s wanted—

What she’s wanted for so long—

Then she’ll finally lose it.

The girl sits with her back to her, long hair tangled in the wind. She doesn’t know how she can tell, but the girl is happy, the constant rigid set of her shoulders smoothed over. The flowers brush against her long skirt, and Souko, her eyes jump across her lone, lounging figure.

Truth be told (perhaps in this moment, perhaps in her whole life), there isn’t anything in this world that she has enjoyed more than her company.

Truth be told, Souko knows how this story ends.

She opens her mouth, and the girl turns. And the girl smiles. And the girl cups her own name in her mouth, syllables handled with the precision of a butcher’s knife, as she reaches, reaches, reaches, and skims her thumb over Souko’s calloused fingerpads.

“I knew you’d stop coming eventually,” Reiko says, even as Souko presses their palms together. Even as Souko leans down, down, down, until they’re properly facing one another. “But it was fun while it lasted.”

“I…” Her breath coalesces into something heavy, a stone in her throat, a stone’s throw from her heart. Even sitting by her side, her mind is jumpy with trepidation and what almost feels like want. “I waited for you. I won the challenge, didn’t I?”

The girl smiles. Souko’s seized with the sudden urge to wrench it off her face—her eyes, her amused frown, the lackadaisical set to her mouth, it’s all just glass. “…Yes. But right now, once you know the truth about me, things will go back to the usual.”

This girl speaks with the utmost confidence, as usual.

This girl tells her this like she hopes it won’t be true.

This girl, this beloved girl with the strange set to her shoulders and the wary edge to her gaze and the terrifying rumors… and the gentle way her entire expression went slack as she drifted off to sleep, the dream of them walking through her garden together, side by side, hand in hand… she does not know how beloved she is, does she?

Her name is Natsume Reiko, and this girl, Souko likes very much.

Can she ever tell her?

“It can’t be helped. Any of this.” When Reiko turns to her, she isn’t smiling. “My name. It sounded nice, with you. Who knows if the view would've changed after all?”

Souko jolts up, but her voice abandons her. Her feet remain rooted to the ground as Reiko rises.

"Goodbye," she says, and Souko can do nothing but stretch out a useless hand as Reiko walks somewhere far, far away.

…As if her condition would allow her to follow her, regardless.

Perhaps Reiko was already someone she could never reach, even long ago.

Even still…

“Reiko,” she calls, very quietly, “I’m still waiting.”

.

When she stirs in the morning, it is harder and harder to rise. Yet still, she slips on her shoes and sits in their forest to wait.

In the end, Souko never stops waiting.

depiction isn't endorsement but not all depictions have the same merit

[lightnersdream-archive]

the more sensitive a subject is the harsher the criticism will be if you fuck it up. that's how this works

[triangleguy]

liking a female character who is a terrible person is always scary in terms of interacting with fandom because its almost always either "ouhh her life was so hard i feel so bad for her she didnt deserve any of that its not her fault shes so mean" or "oh my god shes such an annoying bitch i cant stand her"
