“I don't deal well with… complications to plans I’ve laid out so carefully. It’s a character flaw of mine.”

Someone who suffers from narcissistic personality disorder would not say something like this. a true narcesist never admits to having flaws, because in their perception of themself, they don't. They are perfect, flawless, and can do no wrong. Everything is always someone else's fault.

But Ghirahim is very quick to admit that he has flaws, or when something is his fault for not going the right way.

“I blame myself. I should have reprimanded you the last time we met, but instead I was…soft.”“

Ghirahim's larger than life personality is not true egotism. It is a shield. Something he uses to hide from everyone else and himself that he has always been nothing more than a slave. A tool for someone else's use.

The layers of foreshadowing on Ghirahim being a sword spirit are INSANE.

I live in Chicagoland and have family friends who are brown and undocumented. It’s not good here.

I want to specify that the US government ICE agents rapelled from Blackhawk helicopters to take over an apartment building, breaking open apartment doors in the middle of the night to drag barely-clad residents from their homes and detain everyone in UHaul trucks with the children zip-tied to each other. Regardless of citizenship.

There was too much traffic today, and an ICE agent deployed a tear gas canister in traffic in response.

This is not normal.

From the very bottom of my heart: what the ACTUAL FUCK

It’s not even near me yet, but where I live there’s lots of brown folks so they’ll come.

This is surreal. We’re being attacked by the United States.

Most mainstream media is barely covering it.

I genuinely wish I were surprised by that.

A friend told me a few months back that fanfiction is inherently far, far more INHERENTLY skewed towards romance and smut and it’s been fucking haunting me.

Almost nobody goes around LOOKING for gen fics. Even if I find a new fandom to write for, unless it’s VERY popular, PEOPLE WON’T EVEN GLIMPSE IT.

And I’ll just sit in my corner waiting for positive reinforcement.

My drawing is shit and legit practice-only drawing feels like a chore. So I write. And I haven’t been able to get inspiration for MONTHS. There are a handful of games that MAYBE might work for fics, but they don’t really have fandoms and I’m sick of feeling so alone!!

And Legend of Zelda… no longer appeals to me much anymore. I’m sick of having to change so much of everything to have even a shred of nuance, I’m sick of feeling so isolated in a huge fandom, because the only place anyone really cares about gen fics is SPECIFICALLY the Linked Universe sub-fandom, I’m sick of waiting and waiting for inspiration that never comes.

Idk where to turn.

Y’know what Pokemon anime needs? SITCOMS. I would watch the fuck out of that. Like with a Pokemon Ranger that’s gotta get someone’s Meowth down out of a tree, and help someone’s huge-ass Swampert that wedged himself in a waterslide. Some guy that’s a janitor, and, like, a maintenance worker for some snobby Gym, and they’re all friends. And like… one of them has a crazy neighbor that’s a conspiracy theorist, and he thinks Clefairies are evil and working for aliens or something, and he’s got an Unown named Agent Z, but they’re actually a n A Unown, you know, to make it harder for the government to find them or something.

I WOULD WATCH THIS SO MUCH.
