“the only one stopping you is yourself“ actually the only one stopping me is my crippling fear of failure and constant self loathing, and i am actively working to beat those up but until then they may stop me sometimes.

gonna dump my thought about soul eater here real quick

My first experience with it was at the height of its popularity-- I did not watch it. I heard about the cool parts secondhand from my older brother, and all I knew was that Death the kid had a symmetry obsession, Black Star cheated on some exam, and there was something about black blood that was really creepy.

I sort of figured it was some passing trend that wasn’t very good, and quietly judged his taste in anime. (Yes, I was a little shit, but in hindsight it’s funny since I’ve learned that my own taste is equally self indulgent but just a different flavor.) I tried getting into it once when I was older, saw attack of the mummy (erotic???) and promptly quit the series continued judging my brother’s taste.

But this year I tried it again on the recommendation of a friend, and once I got past the first couple episodes it was really, really good. Maka was allowed to be badass and female and nerdy; black star was just extra af, tsubaki was patient enough to put up with his antics and act as a mediator while simultaneously coming into her heritage, death the kid’s obsessions were handled much better than I’d expected, and the thompson sisters were adorable. the fanservice wasn’t nearly as bad past the first few episodes, and it was focused on the adult characters, which made it just boring rather than deeply uncomfortable.

and crona! oh my gosh, crona. they. i love them dearly and want the best for them. the adult characters were good as well, and there was a very clear divide between adults and children while giving both sides flaws.

the best part, though, was the friendships. it’s rare to see platonic relationships that aren’t just taken for granted, and this had similar vibes as found family. sometimes soul and maka fight and make up and have to work to understand each other, but at the end of the day they trust and love each other. unconditionally. black star knows tsubaki is hiding something from him, and trusts her enough to say, ‘you can wait until you’re ready to tell me about this. until then, i know you would never do anything to hurt me, and i feel safe with you.’ even death the kid and his weapons, despite having a rocky start, trust each other. he wants to protect them, to help them become strong, and in exchange they support him both in combat and emotionally.

I loved the depth that each relationship was given; rather than giving a rousing speech on the power of friendship, you just knew. you knew that the characters loved each other without even having to say it aloud, because of a thousand little moments that made it feel real. I found myself watching it and not really shipping anything, because the existing dynamics were compelling enough for me. I talked to my brother about it, and he suggested the reason I liked it is because I was ace and projecting onto a cast that clearly valued their friendships above all else. Which is sort of ironic, since I quit the first time because I was too ace to enjoy it, but I guess things change.

anyways tl;dr sometimes the real family is the bunch of dorks you meet along the way who agree to back you up when you punch god in the face, and that’s valid

Someone invents a device that allows us to communicate with cats. Chronicle the first time someone uses it as well as 10 years in the future.

Send me a prompt and I’ll write a 4-5 sentence drabble about it

It was the invention of the century that had everyone talking. Finally we could speak to those mysterious, mind boggling, adorably demanding felines. Everyone awaited for word of how the first conversation with them went. But the when the person came out, he was ghostly white with large terrified eyes and he whispered, “We have made a grave mistake.” 

Ten years after the invention was created, the world changed drastically. Humans were no longer the top species of the world. No, they had been enslaved through the use of cute cat videos and the soothing purrs from their feline overlords. Cats were finally back to the status they held back in the years of old, worshiped like gods. And there was no going back.

Rapunzel, The Frog Prince!

Rapunzel: Do you like being outside?

well enough, i'd say?! how do i put this... i enjoy going out and hanging out with my friends and whatnot, and especially since i got my license this summer even going out to get groceries is exciting LMAO. IT'S A NEW AND EXCITING ADVENTURE!! buuuuuuut i also have no problem with staying cooped up inside my house for weeks at a time. that is probably going to be me this winter break tbh. so yeah, i like being outside and doing stuff out, but i'm also completely fine with staying inside forever.

The Frog Prince: What do you find disgusting?

"people," whispers my dark, black, cynical, hate-filled heart as i angrily look at world events

but to make this less depressing UHHHHHH plenty of things tbh... i always forget that name of it but you know that one phobia where you can't stand things that have a bunch of holes closely grouped together?? yeah that grosses me out like hell LMAO man there's plenty of things that i think are disgusting like really bad b.o. or bad smells in general but i feel like generic things are boring on memes (granted who really reads these aside from the people asking)

oh wait MAN I KNOW. DOING DISHES WITH COLD WATER especially when there's solid oil on the plates and just. ugh especially since we eat rice a lot cold soup-y rice mush and leftover bits of meat washing the dishes like that is hella gross
