Yarn Shenanigans

20-something queer. Still occasionally posts about Homestuck in the year of our lord 2026. Plays FFXIV as Antigone Scrapp on primal/ultros. I frequently lose my mind about the tragedy of the Silmarillion.

Ok but actually I do think ads should be illegal, most of all billboards because they are distracting to drivers, and most of all especially those electric billboards that light up the entire area or change

genuinely feels like this sums up so many online interactions

Still never gonna be over the fact that it took Maes Hughes one night to figure out the truth about Amestris when it took the rest of the cast half the series

#NO BUT THE THING IS! #he figured it out because the army was SHIT AT HIDING IT #he worked in intel! he had access to ALL the necessary elements #to understand it quickly #but that also meant he was under heavy surveillance himself #which is why his efforts to understand the truth were immediately noticed #and since he knew the army was rotten to the core there was no reason for the homunculi to 1) not try to kill him 2) bother being stealthy #lust tried to kill him IN HQ #and the thing is. it was clever of him to leave and try calling mustang from a phone booth #so the line wouldn't be tapped #but like... he'd already tried calling mustang and they knew that. #so had envy not caught up to him before he made the call #they wouldve assumed he'd managed to reach mustang #in a way dying in that phone booth was the best move hughes could make #to protect his allies #had he gotten the information out the homunculi would have disbanded mustang's team MUCH earlier #and after hughes came so close to spreading the truth #they made it MUCH HARDER to find #but also much harder for themselves to realize who was figuring it out and by what means #basically hughes was on easy mode #his death put everyone in hard mode. his allies AND his enemies #man fma is good #fma

I can't tell you how funny I find the cover of the first book. Like at this point Li Yu is super explicitly Not A Koi. He is the most generic, grey, little fish imaginable. Everyone is judging Prince Jing so hard for doting on this dull little soup carp -- to the point that even the cover is like, nah, replace that boring thing with a koi!!! Poor Li Yu can't win for losing...

i have a personality flaw that always positions me on the side of characters who are hiding everything and refuse to accept help. like do NOT confide in people. confiding in people is the enemy. REAL winners lie and lie and continue lying until they ruin every single thing theyve got going for them & didnt fix a single goddamn thing. keep digging grandpa youre almost there

the thing about jinu is that I don't care about any romantic arc he might have with rumi nor do I really like him all that much compared to The Girls™️. but he is very important to me because, unlike rumi, who dabbles in some lying at most, he does something genuinely immoral and regrettable. we could argue about the finer details of his backstory, but regardless, he sees himself as worthless for leaving his family behind, and that self-perception is what I'm most concerned with rather than any pure moral debate.

for me, he's what changes the story from being a generic "appreciating your differences" arc (vis-a-vis rumi's patterns and demonic origin) to an arc that conveys the crucial idea that you have to accept yourself, deep deep flaws and all, and understand that you are always worthy and capable of positive change, because otherwise you will be corrupted so deeply that you are no longer the one in control.

and I just think that's such an important message for people and kids who struggle with self-hatred and negative self-talk, because the brain can always twist your own actions and flaws to be the worst thing you can possibly imagine. whether they're objectively immoral or not, it is SO easy to beat yourself up and let yourself stay hopeless. and as a result, do worse things. but the message of jinu's arc (especially combined with rumi's, which I might talk about more because jinu's story would've gone NOWHERE without her inner strength) highlights that it is both your right and responsibility to exercise self-compassion.

and I just think that's such a powerful antidote to the overwhelming, paralyzing shame that Gwi-Ma so deeply thrives off of.
