that is the wrong gif
never kill yourself. kill that guy
in case you needed to hear it today:
"Why do you hate found family" you guys will call characters who r literally coworkers siblings its stupid.
I think ppl r actually too obsessed with doing nuclear family dynamics on their beloved characters i don't want mom and dad and their two kids this shit is lame irl why can't people just have funny little friendships.
Not gonna lie I kinda hate the compulsion in fandom to shove every relationship into rigid definition boxes. Every relationship is either parent-child, siblings or romantic. Come on. Relationships are so much more complex than that. Do you at least have friends.
For the last time dude, my leitmotif sounds exactly like it always has. There is no symbolism for creeping corruption in there
Two things:
TW: Sexual assault mention, homophobia, misogynoir, cannibalism, misgendering
no matter how many fandoms people say is the most hated fandom on the internet nothing can touch dream smp in my opinion. that was like 3 solid years of, for some fucking reason, grown ass adults suicide baiting mentally ill teenagers in the middle of the pandemic and pretending that it was internet activism. and that was before the heinous shit came out. they were cancelling 16 year old tommyinnit for being in an among us lobby with pewdiepie that one time. it was crazy out there
does anyone remember when technoblade reblogged a petition for george floyd with the caption 'racism is bad' and in the most insane bad faith interpretation i've ever seen people tried to use that to argue that he was racist? he reblogged a petition. what.
you there. the person who claims to be a hater for fun. are you actually having fun or are you recurrently making yourself miserable looking at things you dont like
you there. are you exercising the healthy practice of forming your own opinions about the world or are you being swept up in a negative 'everything sucks' spiral without any time to digest the information you consume
this post was brought to you by me being medicated - guy who formerly did all of these things
A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad
The pet store I worked at had a pen with rabbits near the front door. On every side of the pen were huge signs saying “You can pet me, but don’t pick me up!” One day two absolutely huge guys came in and one immediately reaches into the pen to grab a rabbit. Before i could say anything his friend grabbed his arm and asked him “did you see the sign?” He said “yeah! it says that you can pick them up but don’t pet them!” Then he went quiet for a moment and softly said “I didn’t read it right did I?” And his friend just puts his arm on his shoulder and said “its ok, i know you’ve got that thing where words get mixed up. Let just pet these cute lil shits” And I still haven’t gotten over that interaction.
I was walking my dog through Boston bc he likes the likes car rides. He’s a little thing tbh we call him short and long. So this huge scary man with a full beard approaches me like “hey can my buddy and I pet your dog? He gets nervous around dogs but your’s is so small I think it’s a good place to start.” Ofc I was like “yes he’s very friendly!” So this guy brings his equally big friend over and they sit on the floor while this man looks terrified of my tiny dog so big man number one asks “can I pick him up?” And i say yes so he picks him up and puts him on man number two’s lap and man number two is abt to freak out and his friend straight up just goes “hey man, it’s okay just relax I’d never let anything hurt you. He’s a good boy.” I’ll never forget it ever bc I know that man looked at me (5'3 , glasses, probably wearing a sweater vest) and my dog (kinda goofy looking little thing) and was like ‘ah yes the two least intimidating living things I’ve seen in Boston all day he’ll feel relaxed around them’ and went out of his way to help his friend. It makes me so happy
My husband had this Dungeons and Dragons group ages ago, and one of the guys was TERRIFIED of cats. The moment he sees one he freezes up and can barely breathe. Said guy is almost seven feet tall and solid wall of muscle. Whenever he came over I’d put the cats in the bedroom and chill out with a book because my cats don’t like being shut away without one of us.
One of my cats was pawing at the door and meowing loudly, an indication she REALLY needs to use the litter box. I let her out and decide, hey, I’m hungry, and decide to the kitchen. I forgot to shut the bedroom door.
Next thing I hear is the group going completely silent. My husband very calmly asks me to come over and help him gather our two cats up. I go over to where the group is and my black cat, Cacoa, is rubbing up against the guy’s leg, purring, and doing her “let me on your lap” meow. The other cat, Jasper, is sitting at the window, chilling out. I go over and pick up Cacoa and tell the big dude she’s harmless, loves laps, and would be thrilled if he pet her. Very slowly he touches my cat’s face, and she leans right into his hand. He then pets her back and sighs because she’s really soft and purring like mad. After a few minutes he asks how to pick her up and if it’s okay if she sits on his lap.
He spent the next six hours spoiling my cat. The next week he showed up with cat treats and toys because he fell in love with the cats. He told me he was doing some research on house cats, and even talked to a vet about them. A couple months later he adopted two cats and was as thrilled and excited as a new parent.
Oh no a new one!!!
Blessed post.
I used to work at this stable for icelandic horses and every now and then this man would turn up by the field to just watch the horses. One time I walked by him as I was going to get the horses inside, and he went ”I always wanted to learn how to ride but I’m afraid of horses because they’re so huge. If I could ride ponies like this, maybe I’d dare but now I’m too big and heavy for them.” You should have seen his face when I told them that actually they’re not ponies, just small horses and they could totally carry him. His face just lit up. Next thing I’m helping him to get on back. Today he knows how to ride.
A few years ago my sister and I were in Daytona Beach, and we saw this huge, burly biker. Looked like the stereotypical biker: big black beard, the goggles, leather, and a bandana. He also had a baby carrier, and in that baby carrier was a tiny little orange Pomeranian. We complimented his dog and he said, in one of the deepest voices I’ve ever heard, “thanks, his name’s Little Bear!” And he told us about how he’d take Little Bear out on his motorcycle everyday and how much the dog loved it.

I shouldn’t have to say this, but— do not sign anything which has important points added in goddamn pencil.
Don’t sign forms with areas left blank. Make sure those areas have “not applicable” written in each one (or words which work where you are).
Be aware of ambush tactics like being asked to sign unrelated forms * after * a surgery, any painful therapy, while feverish — any time when you’re unable to read and think clearly.
Don’t believe “this form is no big deal, you don’t have to read it.”
If you’re pressured “because it’s more efficient to sign everything at once” or anything like that, remember this is one more reason to be cautious, if not suspicious. Tell them to make a separate appointment.
If you are in pain, alone, or concerned for yourself and your ability to refuse to sign papers under pressure, ask someone to be there with you.
If you don’t have people to help in person, get someone to witness things with your phone, and allow them to say “wait a minute, that’s not right” or “no” for you. You don’t even need a smart phone to do this, OK? I’ve had to use a land line on speaker. It helps if your person has a clue what’s going on, but if you’re ambushed, just make sure they are willing to stick up for you. There are probably notes on how to be an advocate somewhere, if you know resources please add them in comments or add to this post.
bringing jayce/viktor back in canon would be sooo incredibly difficult.
first of all, most postcanon fic authors struggle to give jayce a compelling motivation/arc bc hes VERY tightly written. he outright says that his goal in their final scene has shifted from bringing magic to the world to getting viktor back. and by staying with him, he gets viktor back and faces the consequences of his actions throughout the show. everything is wrapped up pretty neatly for him.
(viktor isn't AS difficult. It's pretty easy to create a new story arc for him out of the consequences of the glorious evolution and transforming his outlook and actions based on his realization at the end of the show. most fics ive read go this route, with viktor dealing with a lot of guilt and reflection and finding a new purpose and sense of self.)
So the first thing they'd have to do is come up with an arc for jayce. but also, said arc still has to heavily involve viktor. the nature of their story basically requires they remain together for the most part. jayce getting viktor back at the end of arcane is the catharsis for his story. if they separate (even if it's realistic or good for them or whatever else) it makes that conclusion lose a LOT of its impact and meaning. likewise, retreading on that conflict also dulls the impact, so even if their new goal was to reunite after being separated youd run a HUGE risk of repeating arcane's plot points and themes, making them feel stale.
(I've seen some people theorize that jayce may get separated from viktor and join mel in noxus. unfortunately this is even worse imo. youre risking either retreading old ground TWICE or a mix of retreading plus making the ending lackluster and making jayce act ooc)
so we need a new arc for jayce AND we can't separate him and viktor in order to accomplish that. thats already hard. but that leaves a new question, why bring them back at all? what do they have to add to the future storylines in runeterra and how do potential new arcs for them support the themes of these stories? and why bring THEM back instead of introducing other characters from league lore that haven't gotten a chance to be explored yet?
these new spin off shows are going to be focusing on different regions of runeterra that already have so many characters and stories to pull from. and yes they'll definitely tie the events of arcane into their stories and we will likely see some of the characters again. but bringing back jayce and viktor isnt as simple as having a caitvi cameo or having jinx show up in bilgewater or something. it would require a lot of set up and precedent and theyd need to contribute more to the story to justify that.
it just doesn't seem very likely unfortunately. and id be worried for the story quality if they were to go this route. i still think the best choice is for them to haunt the narrative going forward, either literally or metaphorically. characters could mention them and what happened to them as a cautionary tale or if they still exist within the arcane maybe theyll be ghostly figures that literally haunt swain if he tries to use the crystal that his raven stole. theres a LOT more potential and safety in that writing choice imo.
@abbywith3as listennnn the designer for valoran town drew jayce and viktor being sent there by the arcane. if we never see them again lets all just assume theyre living in valoran town running the local hardware shop and going on cat cafe dates forever and ever. they can get gay married in valoran town. everything is gonna be okay
