I think this is a silly question bc I never saw anyone suggesting but considering Rei had 4 kids is it possible she had postpartum depression? Yes, im not entirely sure about the topic. A woman can have 5 kids and not have this issue or a woman has one kid and have this issue.
I'm just wondering if this could apply to Rei. Maybe not, as if all had gone alright if Toya's quirk had been good ...Rei only only have Toya and Fuyumi.
So I guess I should start this by informing everyone I'm not a doctor so I might mess up badly on this topic.
On the plus side as far as i know Horikoshi isn't a doctor either and he is known for not being very medically accurate so my knowledge might be enough.
Now, postpartum depression is caused by a dramatic drop in the hormones estrogen and progesterone combined with decreased thyroid hormone levels in the mother's body after childbirth.
Intense fatigue from labor, sleepless nights, and the challenges of caring for a newborn, feeling isolated, having marital/relationship conflict and other stressfull life events can also add to this making matters worse.
This means it can happen after your first birth or after your forth or each time you give birth.
Approximately 70-80% of all new mothers experience some negative feelings or mood swings after the birth of their child, though not all of them turn into postpartum depression which can last for months or longer, sometimes becoming an ongoing depressive disorder.
Long story short, Rei could have had it at each birth and then she might have gotten better, or she could have had it after the borth of a specific child or after more than one birth.
There is no rule for this.
General consequences of postpartum depressions are severe mood swings, "scary thoughts" about your baby, fatigue, sleep disturbances, anger, feelings of intense shame or guilt, loss of appetite.
There's more but those are the most common.
We see absurdingly little of Rei after she gives birth to her children but... the description above doesn't seem to fit.
We know that Touya and Fuyumi has 11 months of difference and that, after Touya's birth Enji asked her to have another baby and she was okay with it, thinking siblings would support each other. It means Fuyumi was conceived 2 months after Touya's birth and by then Rei had no problems thinking to have another baby.
We see/know nothing of her after Fuyumi's birth but the anime shows her as happy when Fuyumi is 2 so if she had depression it went away by that time.
With Natsuo things are more complicate in the family, but we see her smiling at Natsuo and School Briefs claims before Shouto's birth she was raising him just fine as a loving mom.
After Shouto's birth Rei looks worn out, she is put through a lot of stress... but she is still viewed as a loving mom and honestly I don't think Horikoshi wants it to be postpartum stress disorder but 'Enji is being a horrible father/husband' disorder if I can name it so.
Mind you, we can't tell for sure, we know next to nothing to her condition after birth except glimpses but I would say for all her 4 births Horikoshi didn't consider giving her postpartum depression. Rei's psychological problems were due to Enji, not due to childbirth, and ultimately he broke her. Of course, since Horikoshi wanted to tame down Enji's guilt a little, he tried to spread the blame on Touya too but I don't think he considered postpartum depression as another possible cause.
I might be wrong.
We will probably never know. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful and thank you for your ask!
Meh, just wondering with my buttons here but...let's say in twilight it is possible to be immortal and still remain human. The volturi have this magic potion that allow their fav pet human to be immortal and still be human (if they get tired of them, the volturi can kill them if the pets are tired of this ...the volturi will kill them. A win win situation)
Let's say Edward has this potion....would Belle accept be immortal and still remain human or she prefers to be a vampire?
I ask this bc you always say how Belle is in for the glamour and the vampire life is the only one. Well, in this au she would be immortal and human...but I can see she would still pick a vampire life.
I mean, the Volturi can and do kill vampires they get tired of/that become a problem. So... there's no need for a magic human forever potion. Remember that to everyone else in the series, Edward's need to keep Bella human is seen as deeply weird. Because if you like a human... you just turn them, ta da, that's the human forever potion. If you don't like them, you kill them or don't turn them, it's that easy.
Other vampires outside of the Cullens think Edward is fucking insane.
As for your question...
Bella 100% prefers to be a vampire and is never unclear about this.
The immortality is one of the less interesting parts to her, interesting in only that she gets to be with Edward and young forever. The last thing Bella would want is to be clumsy, ugly, and human forever.
She wants to be beautiful, she wants to be someone who matches Edward and is worthy of him, she wants to be interesting, have amazing senses, be athletic, be something beyond the norm.
Bella as a human forever, even if she gets to be the same age forever, is just a step below her nightmare of being a randy grandmother married to Edward.
Bella would hate the fact that this potion exists as it means Edward keeps shoving it in her face as an option of how they can totally be together with her being human forever, totally.
Wait I just read yoir post about Tom Riddle's temporary body.
You think Tom cared for his looks or had any vanity? Sure maybe is not a matter of vanity in wanting a new body per se but...to me I never got the vibe Tom, even when he was hot, cared for his looks. Again my humble opinion.
(The post being referred to. Also relevant)
I think it's telling that Tom Riddle engaged in no other forms of body modification. He didn't dye his hair, didn't grow facial hair, didn't in any way alter himself to look different, if anything he enhanced his features (let his hair grow out a bit after school and seems to have worn flattering clothes). To me, that's telling that he at the very least didn't dislike the way he looked.
The way fandom has interpreted his transformation, there is near universal consensus that Tom desired the change, and the only debate is whether it was because he couldn't stand his own resemblance to his father, or because he wanted to purge every bit of humanity from his person, including a human appearance.
My issue with the former is the point I made above, that Tom never in any other way sought to look less like his father. He kept the hair colour, didn't transfigure his nose of his face shape to be different, no tattoos, no style of dress that would make him look different, nothing. He didn't change a thing. If his desire to not be reminded of Tom Riddle Sr. was so extreme he would disfigure himself, there would have been other body modifications before he got to that point and yet there's no sign he ever did. So I call foul.
If he wished to alter his face to look less human than the question is... when, exactly, does Tom Riddle express a desire to not be human in the books? Oh, he desires power, and he wishes to defy death which is perhaps the ultimate rejection of humanity, stating that he has gone "further than any other" in this pursuit, but there's no direct line to be drawn from that to him not wanting to be human. Tom Riddle's desire not to die proves he desired not to die, and nothing more or less, and so to me the idea that he wished to purge himself of humanity and his disfiguration was part of that seems fanon - a valid interpretation I myself used to subscribe to, but still not actually directly in the books.
I personally think there is reason to believe, room enough to argue, that he looked like Tom Riddle before he was vanquished, and the linked posts at the top of the post explain why I think his resurrection body looked the way he did - it was a homunculus created out of necessity, not because he could finally live without a nose the way he'd always dreamed.
With all that said, to answer your question, I think Tom displays enough vanity in other aspects of life as well as a certain... finickyness and perfectionism, that while I don't think he was spending hours before the mirror or in love with his own face, I do think he cared for his looks. Certainly, enough to never step outside unless he looked pristine and the type to splutter and be deeply offended if you say his haircut doesn't suit him.
I have headache now and is a pain. So...this is an old question ( many have ask smth similar) but what you think of BK's apology?
From what I've seen, it seemed rather half-assed.
It seemed like an attempt of a "Gotcha!" to those who are critical of their beloved BK. And HOO BOY, did the stans eat that shit up.
BK stans: "SEE?! He apologized!" "Get over it, already!" "Finally, their friendship will develop!"
I'm sorry, WHAT FRIENDSHIP?!
Y'all mean the one where he ruthlessly tormented Izuku for most of their lives?? What's even worse, is that nowhere in the show was Izuku's trauma adressed.
Redemption does not entitle you to forgiveness. That's not how it works.
I just really hate the premise of "forgive your abusers". It’s like Endeavor with his kids all over again, in my opinion.
Izuku doesn't have to forgive shit.
Izuku's better off without BK in his like.
BK is, and always will be nothing more than a liability.
Hey. I dont have disney plus but I follow ToH here and the last ask about how fandom has this view "this ship is romantic love" and "those two are brothers" is so...fascinating to me. Like, I'm followong a certain anime/manga and people see 2 characters interacting and are "sibs!" And if you dare say otherwise ...you are a monster.
Like...the shipping police is real as is useless.
Hello! and ah, yeap, I know exactly what you mean. That's unfortunately how it be at times.
I'm just repeating myself here but I think that someone policing how others choose to interpret a relationship based on their own interpretation is, how to say, Not Great. Everyone should be able to fuck around and have fun w shipping methinks.
Hi. How you write a character that is divine or has divine powers?
It really depends on how they are divine. Do they have powers over one particular area of life (say love or death) or are they just divine in the sense of powerful?
For the first one you may want to make the general aura around them reflect their domain. Do they rule over love? Then lets have everyone not be able to keep their eyes off of them or have them always feel slightly nervous, like a crush might make you feel. Do they rule over death? Make the smell of freshly turned dirt follow them and give them stillness that just seems eerie.
For the second one you may want them to feel oppressive. Every moment a character is in the room with them they know. Energy stirs up around them. Lights seem to glow brighter. When they leave the room there is a stillness as if a large gust of wind just ran through.
Try thinking outside the box. What are some warning signs that humans instinctually recognize but don’t always register?
Hi. I have a question. Back on the young days when Lily Evans was surrounder by mystery everyone sort especulated why Voldy spared her. My question is: what you think of Voldy/lily or Tom/lily?
I remember JK making fun of this ship saying it was too Star Wars. Do you agree?
Blinks.
Hello stranger, welcome to my blog, it is a very strange place where I am a vocal proponent of Tom/Lily a ship that no one else enjoys, caused a flurry of upset posts on this very blog, and more.
On the Star Wars note, honestly, it always struck me as odd as fandom didn’t run with it because of that. It already steals the dark/light side of the force magic from Star Wars, why not give Harry Darth Vader angst?
I do agree though that part’s inherently ridiculous and not the appeal of the ship to me. In fact, if that was all I saw in it, I’d hate it entirely. However, I also don’t hang around the Harry Potter fandom for Harry Potter as a character, so I’m already a heretic.
Uhm. Ok. I like this ship. So how Vader and Ben Kenobi would react to this couple?
Hello, welcome! So glad to hear from you. I have written a scenario where Anakin and Obi-Wan survive and get to experience Luke/Leia being in love. You can read it here. Of course, that’s an alternate universe story, so it’s different.
I have various different ideas about how they’d react. Sometimes I think Obi-Wan was intentionally trying to get them to hook up, perhaps with the hopes they’d procreate and produce extremely powerful Jedi together. I think Yoda was maybe also in on the idea. They’re both so secretive and weird about revealing the truth. I get some of it is to keep Leia protected/hidden from Vader, but I also like to speculate they intentionally didn’t want them to know they were siblings in order to foster feelings between them. So... for Obi-Wan, at least, I think he would be okay with it.
It’s worth considering that the biggest taboo against sibling incest is the fact that too much inbreeding can cause birth defects. But with the advanced medical technology in the Star Wars universe combined with the Force, I don’t think Luke/Leia have anything to worry about in that regard.
Vader/Anakin is another thought. Vader is going to think differently than Anakin. I think Vader wouldn’t care too much, or perhaps would encourage it if he thought he could use it to manipulate them or their children to the Dark Side. I think Anakin might struggle with it more, but he also was a victim of a society that wouldn’t let him love the person he loved openly, so in the end I think he’d come around once he saw how good Luke and Leia were together and for each other.
What do you think? How do you think Obi-Wan and Vader would react?
