A little delusionally in love with Viktor Arcane

34 and still on Tumblr, fuck it we ball

Hot take: I don't care if someone "contributes to society" or not. They are a person and still deserve human rights, food, and shelter.

Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?

[bluishorange]

actually a coworker of mine said something interesting about this. I was saying that I truly can’t help how easily I cry, and I hate when people assume I do it on purpose.

and he paused for a second and then said, “when you’ve been taught from a young age that crying is weak and you should train yourself never to cry for any reason, you assume that everyone else has trained themselves too, so anyone who cries has to be doing it on purpose. it took me a long time to realize that wasn’t true.”

listen we’re never gonna run out of ways the patriarchy hurts all of us.

Thinking about how Caleb and Essek’s types of self-loathing are almost represented by their magic

Caleb’s is loud, aggressive and violent: the type that would make him keep an hand over an open flame because he thinks he deserves to suffer

Essek’s is sad, cold and lonely: the type that would make him want to get swallowed by a black hole because he’s resigned himself to think there’s no hope for him

[cowboysmp3]

there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living

I love Dungeon Meshi because every (main) character has a version of this. Every character is deeply affected by something they have no way of fixing or changing, but they're all still drawn together by love, passion, and kindness

One of my favorite details in FMA is Edward learning from techniques used against him, and adapting them for himself. Big examples I can think of off the top of my head are: deducing how Scar's deconstruction alchemy worked, which would then become one of his go-to moves; failing to deconstruct Buccaneer's arm because of northern automail's different material, then when he gets northern automail of his own using that against Scar; and imitating Greed's ultimate shield on his automail when fighting against Pride. I think it's a satisfying callback/setup-payoff every time, effectively shows Ed as really intelligent in a cool and interesting way, and if one considers these "power-ups", then it's doing so in a much more novel and compelling way than "he can punch gooder". Also not even specific to FMA I just think it's an incredibly cool thing for a character to do.

I still think it’s objectively fucked how the world is built for morning people and if you wake up later than everyone else you’re seen as a malicious aberration of some sort. I am that but it’s not because I wake up at 11 fuck yourself

Having a lot of feelings thinking about Luke tonight...

Just thinking about his arc from beginning to end.

From being kind of an entitled rich kid, to someone starting to grow only to lapse back into his old ways, to someone having to deal with what his consequences have led to.

And then seeing him try to actually intentionally grow and change and learn that it doesn't matter if he has no purpose or if he's acknowledged, he's still here.

And then his relationship with Ion, how Ion never really turned away from him, how Ion was kind of the first person Luke really tried to protect.

His relationship with Guy, and god, his relationship with Jade.

The way Jade clearly views Luke and his hesitance to kill from the start as something to be protected, as someone who has done so many horrible things, he wants Luke to have a chance to not make the same mistakes.

The way that Jade loses faith in Luke after Akzeriuth when Luke refuses to accept the blame, and how their relationship starts to repair down the line.

How Jade mentions that he envies the part of Luke that can't kill people easily.

Like, I still love that line he says about Luke waking up with nightmares of the people he's had to kill, and how he still doesn't know what it means to die.

They're so different, but Jade still sees something in Luke.

And Luke represents one of Jade's biggest failures, so him actually growing throughout the game is just so important.

I just love Luke and his arc and relationship to the other characters.

I saw an unpleasant discussion thread in twitter about "why someone gets jealous of a fictional character."

As for me, it's not that I'm jealous of the character; I'm just irritated that my favorite character is now associated exclusively with ship and another character, when this wasn't the case five or six years ago. I'm also annoyed that they stopped releasing solo merch dedicated solely to him. There was a lot of new ship merch that I don't need.

I understand when the question concerns a canonical pairing that was always meant to be together from the start, but that doesn't apply to my favorite character, and even so, I know people who only love one character from a pair and want separate merch, separate information, skins, and so on. Now everything is dedicated to the ship, and all the content is made for the shippers.

For the same reason, the second character is starting to annoy me. I don't think I'd care at all about his existence if it weren't for the fact that he's a thorn in any topic that concerns a character I love. This is where hatred, jealousy, or any other unpleasant emotion you can think of starts. It's just exhausting. The more a fan base pushes for a particular ship, the more, in theory, other people will be deprived of content featuring their favorite character. Sorry, but I don't care about THAT ship. And ship content, even if it has my favorite character in it, is not the same as content with ONLY my favorite character.
