I'm Up For This

sorry i'm still not over the fact that azir is a light in the darkness of roshar ??? they saved that city with nothing but love and the refusal to give up as long as a sliver of hope remained. even when they learnt reinforcements weren't coming, even when they lost the dome, even when it felt like all was lost, they kept going??? and this was the one battlefield without a radiant force??? this was ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO REALISED HELP WOULDN'T ARRIVE IN TIME AND SAVED THE DAMN CITY ANYWAY?? i'm emotional i need to sit down (i am already sitting down)

battle of azimir you will always mean so much to me <3

Ah, a fellow Angel Share’s Cat enjoyer. If you don’t mind me asking, what’s your favorite fic in the series so far?

Don't ask me this I can't give you an answer (all of them. Goddamn. All of them). The most memorable one is the first one and "night off". The shenanigans there is so sweet. I love that Kaeya suffers from Diluc's godawful pet-naming (I think it's cute. Kaeya can suck it). But I love all of them!

The newest one is out and it already broke me <3 That cliffhanger kicked me violently. I hope August make another appearance :)

I went to a psychic, and she told me that I would be totally heartbroken in 14 years. 

I felt so bad about this, I went and got a puppy.

I have OCD and with that comes quasi-hallucinations, and I grew up watching a ton of horror films so some of the worst of mine are the standard white skin/black hair demon girl type shit.

However, because a lot of them are based on horror film I have found comfort in doing things that “go against” horror films and being like “see? This could never happen.”

(It’s irrational. I know that. But shut up. This is how I cope.)

For example: I started hearing garbled whispering from beneath my table, so I started playing the muppets sound track. Because they would never play Movin’ Right Along when the protagonist is about to get attacked. That won’t happen. Disney, who owns the muppets, wouldn’t give them the rights.

And it fucking worked.

Always glad to make things devolve into angst, this is my favourite theory btw

HI I HAVE A BSD THEORY DO YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT IT IS @akuutaguava @glittercrashhh @panic-at-the-gender @boombboi @11nolongerhuman @elvearryn @chuuy-a @akutacowa @flower-of-darkness @adultkiddo @prued-crime @ginnyweasley16 @existential-dread-in-the-am @lillybet-the-overlord @saintsprotecttheghoul @thebgcharacter @rirk-ke @yukiko-otaku @its-a-journal-of-ideals @jas-sea @tainted--sorrow @dusted-star @snow-bloss0m @qu-ilinn @mrsdazais-blog @bungoustraypups @noticemeakusenpai @the-walls-have-many-ears @galacticfairytheweeb @jessbeinme15 @alexanderthepatrochillestrash @confusedinsominiac yes i tagged the entire discord server that I were showing up in that suggestions bar thingy and what about it well too bad if you don't you're getting it

Special credits to @fruitpunchsamurai16 for making it devolve into angst WHICH IT INITIALLY WAS NOT-majorly-

Ok so one ADA member is to be switched over to the PM on exchange for their help as per the deal Mori and Fukuzawa made and everyone except Yosano is up for the taking yes??

Now the OBVIOUS pick is Dazai. Because duh Mori has literally been obsessed with getting him back for ages. But i feel like a. It's too obvious and b. Mori wouldn't want to get Dazai to his side like this because he knows there's a full chance Dazai will find some way to betray WHILE upholding the deal. So he's out for now and in regards to this theory.

Next some might think Atsushi because MC right?? But that's a clear and resounding no cuz while Atsushi HAS been important in the general ongoings in Yokohama and been central to the conflicts, he HIMSELF possesses no real value for Mori and no power or ability that he can exploit because Atsushi isn't the strongest one out there in the first place (not consistently anyways) and he doesn't have any fears Mori can exploit and manipulate him with as he doesn't particularly FEAR his own death like yea he would PREFER to live but he's willing to die to save others and then there's the ADA but he [Atsushi] knows they can hold their own so yeah Atsushi's out as well.

Some might think Kyouka is an option and again no because she already betrayed them once on her own and Mori again cannot exploit her enough and doesn't particularly have a use for her since he already has the same-ish ability in his possession through Kouyou.

Now we're in likely to happen scenarios.

The next most viable is Kunikida for obvious reasons if you think about it. He's an important member of the Agency, the second in command, the one who keeps them all organised and functional on a day to day basis and an important pillar that supports Fukuzawa and the entire ADA. If taken away it would be a huge blow to all of them and just yeah it would be bad.

Now the next one (which this entire theory centered around originally) is one that would seem random but just hear me out ok.

NAOMI. Think about it, Tanizaki has a very powerful ability specially as a stealth operative and its an amazing weapon in fights as well. If Naomi was taken Tanizaki would protest it, he'd stand up against the President and he would most likely even try to infiltrate the Port Mafia HQ to get her and run away but obviously he would get caught if he tried that (as Yuki @fruitpunchsamurai16 pointed out yes he took out the Black Lizard on his own but in all fairness the Agency takes them out routinely it's part of both parties' daily schedules at this point and also Chuuya would mop the floor with him regardless of whether his ability is at an all time best but whatever.) And as we all know Tanizaki would rain hellfire on earth to protect Naomi so after all the rebelling eventually the end result would be him willing to do anything to protect Naomi and there you go ONE SHINY PORT MAFIA SPY IN THE ARMED DETECTIVE AGENCY!!!!!

Anyways this was SUPPOSED to be it but Yuki tried to get back at me and suggested what if Fukuzawa gets picked (which is also possible) so everything now is copied from whatsapp:

Yuki: Fine I'll do it myself. Fukuzawa's skill is invaluable to make him the leader of a squad, maybe of strong but unpredictable ability users, because he can make it so they can control their abilities. He's also a great leader and a capable swordsman, a good tactician, and inspires loyalty. Plus he's the kind of guy who'd stick to his word, so if Mori made him join he wouldn't do anything to escape the agreement, even if he's reluctant. And imagine the horror of the ada having to fight against their collective dad. And obviously m*ri would have a blast making one of his greatest enemies work for him.

Me *sad and kinda mad for the angst*: (you wanna play this game-) Hey and imagine Natsume (Natsuma??) sensei seeing Fukuzawa in this state and lamenting ever taking those two under his wing and bringing them together. And Fukuzawa having to regress to his White Wolf days and assassinate people again. And Mori having a blast. And then eventually imagine Fukuzawa having to go up against the ADA and while it would be heartbreaking for everyone, imagine the Ranpo and Fukuzawa encounter and despite Ranpo and everyone wanting to believe he's still good Mori has made him do so much he's started to like dissociate or something to cope. So the person they see isn't the same President they knew. And then there's a lot of angst.

So yeah there y'all go i also have a short but sad Dazai backstory theory but yeah

i’m going to kdxjdhdjhddjjdhs

actually, i love you, so you cannot be ugly to me. sometimes i think i have no idea what you actually look like. i know we've been friends for like a while but if someone asked oh who's that i'd talk about how funny you are, how charming. about how i have watched you grow as a person, about how you often choose kindness where i would honestly choose a feral violence. i know you keep a tally of your mistakes and they run around your brain - but in mine? i think they never even make it past the front gate. when i think of you my heart swells up with all the weird shit we've done together and how you've talked me through heartbreak and how i've held your hair back and how we both are like, in therapy, and totally above gossiping, but also like, are going to spill the work tea.

i know! i know you feel ugly. i know you hate that you show symptoms, that you're not normal. you said once - i'm afraid to show others the real me. but i see the other things - about these little quirks that are so, so endearing to me. how you are gentle to strangers. how you stand by your friends. how comfortable you make everybody. how you say hey, did you get home safe? even when it's like 6 feet i'm walking.

i love you. yesterday you spent an hour liveblogging the episode of owl house that you're on and i was like - this person is so fucking amazing. last night you said sorry for infodumping. as if you have anything to apologize for. as if part of the reason we're friends is because i love it when you do this, i love listening. i love you, idiot. i love you so fucking much. i want to stick you in a cage so you stop getting random injuries. i want to throw you into a garbage disposal every time you send me that one specific meme. i love you, i love you, i love you. you mean absolutely everything to me.

do you know where "no beta we die like x" comes from and how it is used?

The term "beta" in this context is short for "beta reader" - a person who reads a fic while it's still in the editing stage and helps the writer get it ready to post. Some betas check grammar. Some check canon compliance. Some are sensitivity readers. There are lots of things that betas can do.

So functionally, saying "no beta" means that the writer didn't get this checked by a second person before they posted it. It's a warning that there might be errors or typos etc. It's mostly used when an author has written something quickly and is posting without doing a lot of (or any) edits first.

As for where it comes from? It all started with a bumper sticker.

This image was an internet meme at one point, and it got meme'd on in the form of "no ___ we ___ like men"

Here on tumblr, one of the versions that got really popular was from now-deleted user @grec1a who created this version:

From there, it migrated to AO3 as the "no beta we die like men" tag, and very often the word men is replaced by the name of a character who dies in canon.

every year I post this meme and every year people get more mad at me than they did the previous year
