sitting around emotionally compromised thinking abt how big and loud rick grimes' feelings are and by comparison how quiet carl is. sure, carl gets angry and picks fights but when is he loud or expressive? they have the same dynamic in almost all of their most devastating moments. after lori's death, rick is screaming, crying, rolling on the ground and carl is just standing there quietly and alone. when negan makes rick think he has to cut off carl's arm, rick is crying and begging and carl just quietly tells him to do it. when carl is dying, he's reassuring rick that he was a good father. hmm interesting
If you play computer games, I recommend you to try the game “Black Book” by Russian game studio “Morteshka”. The game was released a couple of days ago. It’s based on real Russian folklore of Perm region (and not just on tales about poor old Baba Yaga who for some reason always is evil in western interpretations :).
The game is about a Russian peasant girl who becomes a witch for the sake of saving her lover. In the game you will meet various Slavic spirits, talk with them, fight them and/or take them into service. The genre is a RPG/visual novel/card game (fights in the form of a card game).
Flaws:
1. The developers did not have a big budget. So that is why graphics don’t exist (models are funny). Still far landscapes are pleasant and atmospheric.
2. Some of the English-speaking gamers in Steam are talking that it’s difficult to understand and follow all the lore in the game. But still they like it so just be ready for tons of text about folklore, believes, terminology, religion stuff and etc.
Merits:
1. There are English subs and dubs (but I recommend Russian voices).
2. The game is based on the Russian folklore and a bit of Finno-Ugric (since Perm Region is also a home for Finno-Ugric people). There is a lot of information. If you interested in Russian folklore you MUST play it :)
3. It’s interesting and atmospheric. And that’s not just my opinion :)
4. You can meet demons who possess samovars, speaking demon-cats, depressed demons who is sad because their masters forgot them, demons who want to bring progress to common people, demons who torture sinners… and you can play with all of them in the card game (well most of them). You can help common people or curse them. You can befriend a soldier with pyrophobia, a cat-domovoi, a speaking head… Why yall still don’t play it?
There is a free demo version, try it if you are not sure: Black Book: Prologue

According to DH book Ron Weasley is supposed to have long hair. He also kinda looks like Ginny. And Ginny is described very pretty in books. Long hair tall pretty boy Ron confirmed!(Imma starting this Ron Weasley hot agenda just wait)
so i am looking for a very specific type of fic which has the 'Ron Weasley least loved' trope
Like he is not actively hated and abused by Weasleys but he is left behind, ignored, neglected, accidentally forgotten
I just really wanna read some Ron centric family angst, any recommendations? Any blog i can specifically ask for recommendations?
All help appreciated, please interact and ask anything you wanna know before you recommend!
Whenever I voice my interpretation of Ron being bi, there's always someone in the comments who's like, "But that's stereotypical, just because he's soft doesn't necessarily mean he's not straight", and while I genuinely agree with the general idea of this, I just can't imagine Ron being grossed out if (or when) Harry confesses his undying love for him. What do you say about this argument?
"But that's stereotypical, just because he's soft doesn't necessarily mean he's not straight"
No yeah ok that's valid, absolutely.
Or rather. It WOULD be valid.
If we were talking about any character other than Ron.
People COMPLETELY refuse to acknowledge his soft side.
Even among Romione shippers, you've got all the "oooh sex god dom Ron making Hermione moan and whimper cuz he SO virile and super buff manly man ;)" and that makes me go akkdjzkfzfhjkflfhfhonononononono but yeah ok whatever.
In this godforsaken fandom everyone is SO fucking intent on claiming that Ron is "the token straight :)))" and I'm like, Hermione's (more like HETmione amirite) right here my dudes.
It's all because this stupidass fandom wants Ron to be lesser.
Supporting LGBT identities is great, so Ron MUST be the only straight among his group of friends and be mocked for it because the books have taught us that anything Ron does must be mocked or shut down. That Ron is "the average one". That Ron is "mediocre", the "not special" one...
In this fandom, Ron is forced into this role of "big dumb boy". Written to be "whipped into shape" by Super Goddess Feminist Hermione Granger who is SUCH a role model and empowering and has SUCH compassion for everyone (except for Ron cuz lol Ron's not worthy of compassion, he's just a boy).
So, whether Ron's bisexual or not, it's really just to do with his IMAGE.
This warped ugly image fandom has developed of him, of a stupid dumb boy that's just so basic masculine with sports and shit and needs Enlightened Hermione to teach him to not be a mean boy anymore :))) is TOTAL UTTER BULLSHIT AND I FUCKING HATE IT.
So go. Go and spread the word. Talk about how Ron Weasley is a total softie and an adorable malewife who WILL punch a bitch and swear like a sailor before offering his kids' friends cookies. Make it clear that if Malfoy ever got out of a fight with Ron alive it was only because Ron was being restrained. Tell the world that Ron is a gentle giant that is mindful of his strength and would NEVER use it to harm anyone he loves. TELL THEM ALL

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):
Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)
Wait a second. Lonnie saying Will has "never been very good at taking care of himself" vs Mike always being the one whose self-reliant and takes care of others
Will has Joyce and Jonathan to take care of him, he didn't have to take care of himself as a child, he could be a kid when Lonnie wasn't being an ass.
Then we have Mike, where we have Karen saying "he'll come to me when he's ready" when, if your 12 year old is suffering the loss of his childhood best friend, you as the parent need to be the one reaching out to them. We have Mike clearly not having a close bond with Nancy, and not going to his mother unless he's at his absolute limit. We have Mike clothing and housing and generally taking care of another 12 year old when he's already living in an absolute nightmare.
Something something a kid "taking care of himself" is what abusers want, that Will didn't have that emotional neglect from his whole family because he had Joyce and Jonathan, but Mike takes care of himself because his family doesn't emotionally support him.
