Vetinari's Patricianate pulled it off, by the way. After the revolution, slowly, over many years of civil service.

The Times (truth), the remade Watch (justice),

“I'm sure we can pull together, sir.” Lord Vetinari raised his eyebrows. “Oh, I do hope not, I really do hope not. Pulling together is the aim of despotism and tyranny. Free men pull in all kinds of directions.” He smiled.

+ the directions things are going with golems, goblins and orcs (freedom), the Seamstress' Guild (reasonably priced love), and a hard-boiled egg.

Seth + crying

underappreciated Nico detail that I like - he seems to be an angry crier! very frequently he's angry when he cries and he cries when he's extremely angry. very AuDHD of him. emotional regulation sucks my guy and he's just going through it.

Always remember Judd Winnick gave us angry crier Jason

I know the fandom loves making Rui cry. Hell, I love making Rui more than anything. But I think we're also missing that Rui— never cries.

I think it adds onto the subhuman factor. After all, monsters don't get to have emotions, was there ever a story where a monster cried? Exactly.

I think it's also remarkable that the time we see Rui close to breaking into tears — Curtain Call — he does NOT cry. In fact, Asahi describes it as "a weird face". suits him quite well, doesn't it?

Rui doesn't know how to cry. He can scrunch his face but... He just doesn't know how to.

And then we arrive at Our Happy Ending and he's laughing and crying with all his friends, a messy pile of hugs and arms and warmth and utter desperation for the lost. And he cries, and there are little tears in the corners of his eyes when he leaves the Wonder Stage. He doesn't realize it at first, but when Nene sneers at him and Tsukasa gives him a tissue he suddenly does.

Maybe monsters can cry too.

Stede Bonnet and the Power of Crying Stede cries, (by my reckoning, I’ll take correction), in thirteen of the eighteen episodes of OFMD. In 109, he cries on four separate occasions.

It’s unusual for any character to be shown to cry so readily, especially one with a male identity. Stede could still be shown to have ‘soft skill’ strengths without crying as frequently as he does. So it’s interesting the significance the writing team attaches to Stede’s crying and the deliberate challenge to acceptable male expression of emotion.

God, that bottom lip

I love that crying’s simply woven into Stede’s characterisation. It is commented upon on a few occasions, but it’s never really made into a huge issue. Like the show’s approach to sexuality, Stede’s crying just sort of is.

IT’S NOT CRINGE

OR WEAKNESS

OR FAILURE

It’s normal human expression of emotion.

And it’s through Stede, others on the show learn to cry. Stede makes it safe for Ed to cry. It’s up to you how long you think it’s been since Ed cried prior to the bathtub scene, but I know my thoughts on it. It’s not recent. When Stede and Ed are separated, with Ed repressing who he is publicly via the Kraken persona, it’s crying when alone which keeps him alive. The moment he’s decided he’s done with all that, that he ‘feels a million bucks, actually’, is because he’s decided to die. He has to stop feeling, stop crying to die. Ed’s crying at Izzy’s death is also so important for the healing of the crew, and Ed’s own healing. It’s a huge moment of catharsis. Ed is fully human in a way most of the crew have never seen. He’s not Blackbeard or the Kraken. He is flesh and blood Edward Teach, a man. If the crew ever had doubts about the capacity for Ed to love and feel, they saw it then. They watched him fall apart in a healthier way than ever before, and show his messy, wonderful humanity.

And Izzy. His starting to cry at the start of season two signals the change in the direction of his character for the better. Learning to cry, and letting others see him cry, is at least some progress.

Stede brings open crying to the seas of the Caribbean. It’s not failure. It’s a brilliant gift.

re the first three tlovm s3 episode title teaser fr. vex getting [redacted] while standing in front of percy . i will undoubtedly have Thoughts about plot n adaption once the whole season is out but i will say people acting like vex potentially dying again is a betrayal of the arc is . i say this politely. ridiculous. vex’s most common habit aside from haggling and flirting in campaign 1 was being knocked unconscious. she required full ass resurrection spells on four separate occasions. we currently have no idea what the shape of any arc in season 3 will look like beyond broad strokes and teasing shots. if they end up wanting to incorporate the exandrian magic lore of it’s harder to come back each time you die, vex seems like the obvious opportunity to do so. please at the very least save the panic posting for when you actually have something to panic about .

Day 5: A-team

for some reason i rly enjoy leo and raph arguing

Leo and Raphs' dynamic is multifaceted, and theres a lot for me to like. but the misunderstandings, insecurities and demands they have for themselves and each other with the emotional intelligence of a dumpster leads to a lot of conflict. and i live for that. idk if its bc its familiar to me, or im just a fan of all kinds of fighting, but it makes the A-team my favorite dynamic in the series

them hurting and being hurt by each other is one of my favorite things form the series. i have a lot of thoughts on the matter and ill be spilling them here eventually

"I need you to tell me you want to live."

Temperance spends a lot of time checking in with Gale. But it started in the Act II romance scene.
