alicent keeping her pious energy in season 2.

she wears more veils and a lot of seven-pointed stars. she prays a lot even when not in a sept and is surrounded by septas. speaking about how she prays for the blacks and that they'll see the truth/come to a bloodless understanding.

being so pious that others at court are annoyed. so religious that when speaking to someone she finishes their sentence (like she says the quote from the seven pointed star before they can).

alicent feels like her position at court is vanishing, so she seeks comfort in the faith. she buries herself in prayers and scriptures.

organizing jaehaerys's funeral procession and praying for him (and those long lost).

"I don't enjoy solitude" Pt 2

I'm gonna call this a part two because it follows on from the post I made yesterday. Although I guess it is less of a follow up and more of a case of reworking what I said in the original post into something a little bit more fleshed out, because I feel like I glossed over a lot of stuff I wanted to say initially (and didn't because it was almost midnight when I wrote it @saturn-sends-hugs don't yell at me for not sleeping I know 😭)

I'll probably just recap everything I said in the other post in this one anyway so it doesn't matter whether or not this is the only one you see I guess

Like I said yesterday, this line is interesting because while it initially puts forward the idea that Echo doesn't like being alone, the actual context had nothing to do with Echo being put in a situation where he would be by himself. In fact, Omega is asking him if he wanted to join her in something. And yes, Echo does hate being by himself, but the line is more about Echo being left alone with his own thoughts. It isn't just being by himself physically, its being stuck in his head without any escape. That's what terrifies him.

And it makes sense. Echo went through some atrocious things and a lot of his memories are either bad or have likely been tainted by other circumstances in a way that means that he doesn't want to think about them. Outside of that one scene of Echo in the cockpit following Tech's death, we never see Echo not doing something or not being with someone. There is always something that is keeping him from his thoughts and that's the whole point. The last thing that Echo wants to do is confront what is in his head. Being alone with nothing but his own mind is exactly what he went through on Skako Minor and the last thing he ever wants to do is revisit that.

But the thing is, it isn't healthy (at least, not in the long run) because for as long as Echo keeps running from his thoughts, he's going to wear himself down. This man never stops. He just keeps going and going and going and half the time if he isn't doing anything "practical", it's against his own will. And so much of that is linked to survivor's guilt. As many other people brought up, Echo likely blames himself for the clones who died as a result of the Techno Union getting a hold of the battle strategies. We know that it's not his fault but to Echo the fact that he survived that entire ordeal, while it was his own plans that were used and manipulated to kill his brothers, must eat away at him.

Echo has never really taken the time to mentally process a lot of what he went through. By the end of the show, he is in a much better place than he was initially: he's physically healthier and he's actually cracking jokes again. A lot of that is thanks to the Bad Batch. They were integral in his healing journey. However, that doesn't mean he's okay. This is a man who can't be left alone with his thoughts because it will cause him to spiral. Not constantly being around people or constantly doing something leads him into a dark place and that isn't a great position for him to be in. This man doesn't really know peace because every part of his life, even his mind, runs at 300 miles an hour. And Hunter knows this. He wasn't wrong when he asked Echo when it will ever be enough. He's watching his brother run himself ragged trying to rescue the clones and to fight against the Empire, when realistically, it's not a battle they can win. Every time Echo leaves Pabu, the Batch are faced with the idea that it may be the last time they ever see him. Because if we're being completely honest here, unless Echo ever gets to the point where he is okay enough to sit down and actually relax for once in his life, there will be a point when it will be the last time they ever see him. Whether or not it's in two days or two years or two decades, this man will lose his life to the cause, even if it's as a result of him working himself down to the bone.

Echo will never value his own life over the life of his brothers. He won't retire because to him it will never be fair that he can live a life of peace when there are others out there who can't have that, and that means he will only stop the fight when there is no-one left worth fighting for. But there will never be a point where there is no-one left to fight for. Echo will continue to find a reason to stay in the fight, to keep working, to never keep still because that's just who he is. And we love him for that. We love his loyalty and his dedication and his endless ambition. But it's also to his detriment. I don't know if we will ever see Echo at a point where he is truly okay. He will keep going until he can't anymore and if that is at the cost of his own life, then that's what he'll take.

Arkin's Tattoos!! Ref images and their meanings!!

Hi everyone, this is a reference post for artists trying to figure out Arkin's tattoos for art purposes!!

So, on Arkin's left shoulder, it's a cross with a banner wrapped around it. The banner, from what I can make out, says "Just Like Jacob" (as in from the bible) and beneath it is the bible passage "Psalms 18:28" ("For it is you who light my lamp; the LORD my God lightens my darkness.")

(I find it ironic that Josh Stewart has a tattoo dedicated to Jacob- the liar/thief/cheater/scoundrel who confesses to and rights his sins for the sake of his family... y'know like Arkin O'Brien did?)

(Josh updated/added to the tattoo recently as well- but if we're just talking about Arkin, I think you should be good! But the new tat is showcased on Josh's personal instigram!)

On Arkin's right shoulder, it's Josh Stewart's family crest! It reads "virescit vulnere virtus" (which when translated means "courage grows strong at a wound")!!

(again, ironic the irl actor got a tattoo that aligns with Arkin so well!)

These are the two main pics I use for his tattoo refs btw!! I saw someone saying that they were struggling to make out Arkin's tattoos- so I hope this post finds u!!! (sorry I have fish brain and forgot ur @ lol;;)

like, abuse in secret happens, especially when society Wouldn't approve of the abuse. abusers aren't necessarily being enabled to abuse, often they are going to great lengths to hide how they treat someone. and like, people who knew how my mom treated me didn't feel like it was okay because i was a female or child or a female child.. they just weren't willing to get involved to a degree that would affect anything bc it would logically end in assisting to remove me from the home and people reasonably question their own judgment and intentions when faced with a choice like that, often deciding it may be best if they stop meddling because that's such a huge way to alter the course of a child's life. i do think people may have been more sympathetic to me if i was a boy + my mom may have loved me more if i was a boy, but that's not WHY she abused me and the abuse didn't endure bc people turned a blind eye or didn't care due to my age/gender. my mom is a mean person. she abused me because she's mean and she went to great efforts to obscure what our home life was like exactly bc she knew how people would feel about it. i was deliberately isolated because she was mean. not bc of our socioeconomic dynamic(s). tbh.

got tagged by @galedekarios! sorry it took me this long to get to it, i had a hard time figuring out who to put on this list.

rules: make a poll with your top 5 favorite antagonists and ask your followers to vote for their favorite.

(inb4 someone asks me why one of my favorite characters, ja//mes iron//wood, isn't on this list, my answer is this: he only became an antagonist in late v7 and v8, and i'm sick to death of people only treating him as such when he didn't start out that way. i also don't like his portrayal in v8 and find it horribly ooc. so tl;dr no, he isn't one of my favorite antagonists. also, i don't watch rw//by anymore.)

tagging: @adorkable1231, @mlmvash, @thirddoctor, @blazingstar24, @astudyinimagination, @jjacqualopeand, @violetwreck, @mondocool and anyone else who wants to do this!

ETA: I CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT TO PUT GAB//RIEL REY//ES AKA REA//PER IN THIS, I'M A FAKE FAN!!! 😭😭😭

[wisheswagered]

honestly what i really like about richard atm is how his story really leans into horror themes?? like... maybe it's just because he's more actively malicious / creepy compared to most other survivors, but he just feels like he comes from a horror story, somehow. idk.

i also really like the idea of "child goes missing and comes back Changed & with incomprehensible ideas/a new way of thinking no-one understands..." like that's SUPER fun horror to me and just as a concept is really cool for some reason. of course he might be an imposter as well and that may not be an accurate way of looking at it but still. we will see.
