"I have had the capability to pull the strings behind the most powerful thrones in Exandria for some time. And I've only done so towards these ends. I don't wish to control. I don't wish to be a tyrant. I just want them gone."

The irony of this statement is that Ludinus's single-minded obsession with killing the gods is precisely what makes him so controlling and tyrannical. He could have spent this entire time using his extended lifespan to shape the Dwendalian Empire into a glittering jewel of a kingdom, as J'mon Sa Ord has done with Ank'Harel. He could have channeled his negative experiences with authority into offering the people under him the kind of support he wishes he'd received, as Vex has been doing in Whitestone and Emon. He could take five minutes out of his day once in a while to spend some low-level spell slots or short rest resources helping people he crosses paths with, as Trist and Ayden did multiple times during Downfall. Instead, he's stayed focused entirely on himself and his petty personal vendetta.

#if you refuse to ask what it means to wield power responsibly #if you insist that it's impossible to be an authority without being a tyrant #if you believe that power can only ever be abused by those who have it #guess what *you'll* end up doing with any power you yourself have #and if you further insist that powerful people who screw up or give in to temptation should die #then there's no incentive to take responsibility #only incentive to deny or downplay your own power #cr spoilers #critical role #ludinus da'leth

Art prompt of Shen Qingqiu holding the aro flag (fits his color scheme)

the real reason this man doesn't realise he's tripping every romance flag in the story

#svsss #scum villain #shen qingqiu #sqq #aro #aromantic flag #i'm now just stuck on the idea of sqq trying to explain the nuance of pride flags to the Qing Jing Peak disciples #he Does Not Want to have this conversation #it started when he realised he was going to have to have The Talk with his disciples at SOME point and couldn't figure out a way #to finesse them into going to talk to mqf about it instead. it rapidly derailed as sqq got more muddled up in modern day terminology and #the Scholarly Peak Disciples would NOT fucking let it go #he would really rather die than continue this conversation; this man went through enough of his (2 lives) life without examining his own #sexuality he does NOT intend to start now!! please stop asking clarifying question!! you know what just don't have sex ever!!!#just!!!! don't date!!!!!! don't do that!!!! isn't it better for everyone to just not do that?????? conversation over!#my art #thanks for the suggestion!

Eloise Bridgerton being an absolute mood:

and Cressida's reaction of 'this girl is so weird, but I'm into it??? Wait am I into this??'':

#i was so sad that no one had made gifs of this moment #that i simply made one myself #i just love this almost smile cressida has here #like she can't believe eloise would just say and do this sort of thing #which kind of also adds to what she says in a later episode about eloise being courageous #she means this; eloise just being unapologetically herself without caring about whats appropriate #something cressida doesn't have the freedom to do (because she lacks the family support eloise has) but probably wishes she could #i love finding these little moments bc you can interpret so much from them even though they're only seconds long #yes i am autistic why do you ask?#eloise bridgerton #cressida cowper #creloise #bridgerton #bridgerton s3 #bridgerton 3x02 #gifs #my gifs #(also i don't know how to gif i did my best with what gimp can do)#bc id rather die than using something adobe makes

I should find another hobby

Anyway, if Merlin was set in modern times, Arthur would have called Merlin his “gay awakening”.

#arthur’s mind in this moment (probably)#‘what the fuck is a stab with a magical sword anyway’#‘let me kiss merlin’#‘let’s smooch’#‘let’s go back to camelot and copulate’#‘why haven’t i done this before i mean WHATEVER I’M JUST DYING SO’#‘let’s make the best of my last few moments AM I RIGHT FELLAS’#‘come on merlin one small peck coME HERE’#and merlin’s thoughts (probably):#‘if you die without kissing me i will sentence you to death’#‘no hesitation’#‘put those pretty lips on minE COME ON ARTHIE’#merlin’s thought as he waits for arthur’s return (probably)#‘i’ll kill him again. what the fuck does thank you even mean’#‘bro be for real we’re just gay’#‘we were supposed to bed each other and you died in my arms instead’#‘pretty dramatic if you ask me’#if you didn’t notice i’m going insane #merthur #bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin bbc #i’ll probably delete it later because i don’t feel that sure about it but i wanted a laugh #i made this out of desperation for the finale since i finished my rewatch #please send help

The Clingy GlassHeart Girlfriends:

[Middle of GlassHeart debate about neediness]

Red: I am not needy!

Chloe: . . .

Still Chloe: . . .

Absolutely still Chloe: . . .

Chloe, sighing: Red you are the definition of needy, you once woke me up in the middle of the night at 2:36 AM when we were CUDDLING and SLEEPING IN THE SAME BED to make sure we were still dating.

_Two Days Earlier_

Red sleeping during her midday nap:

Chloe, gently shaking her awake: Hey Red, could you please wake up love?

Red, sleepily: Hm? What is it Bluely?

Chloe a little jittery: Could you please get up and go with me to this social gathering with my friends, I’m feeling to anxious to go without you right now.

Red, still very sleepily staring at her: . . .

Chloe, pulling out the puppy eyes: Pleaseeeeeeee

Red waking up a bit more: Fine! Just 5 more minutes.

Chloe: But Red, I want you awake now!

Red: If you want time with me before you see your friends, cuddle with me or suffer. [Immediately falls back to sleep]

Nothing gave me more whiplash IN MY LIFE than going from acowar to acofas.

Remember when Feyre closed the chapter on her relationship with Tamlin and wished him well? Coz the Inner Circle sure keeps forgetting.

#my art #acotar #acotar fanart #tamlin #rhysand #acofas #acowar #acofas is enemy mine #stop coming to his house to bully tamlin challenge #i don't care if rhys comes with an excuse to discuss the boarders he goes off over the MILDEST shit #'i don't want illyrian brutes in my lands'#DDDD: how dare you?????#dude you don't want illyrian brutes in your lands either i don't see them hangining out in velaris #the dudes who die en masse every blood rite coz they'd rather kill each other than climb a mountain #who mutilate their women and would rather discard a weapon if a woman touched it #yeah why wouldn't you want an army of those in your war ravaged lands truly a mystery #rhys coming in with “”“harsh truths”“” more like rhys being a petty bitch #tamlin saves his mate AND HIM from being hella dead without asking for anything back #lost all respect for him in that scene #dude's comepletely winning at life and still can't leave well enough alone #i don't need them to be friends again just stop coming to the spring court #pro tamlin #anti rhysand #anti inner circle

I love the detail of the text on his phone he actually asked his girlfriend about it so that SSMY could partake in the tradition 🥹

#sasaki and miyano #sasaki to miyano #sasakitomiyano #sasamiya #sasamyaa #sasaki shuumei #miyano yoshikazu #ogasawara jirou #khushrantsaboutthings #you dont understand #he did it quietly without being asked #it’s so sweet #i want to cry #i love him #i would die for ogasawara

i didn’t do it, i didn’t do it for love; what did i do it for?

[sequel piece to kill the sparrow]

#sleep token #sleep token art #sleep token vessel #sleep token ii #sleep token fanart #bygone art #blood #blood tw #death #death tw #ask to tag #<- idk what warnings are appropriate for this exactly #but yeah. please please please read the fic it has more context #for those who did:#at the end of the day in this timeline the cycle doesn't end. not with them #vessel ends up on the other end of the blade. he knew he would. he has known from the beginning #and it still hurts #not getting his throat slit; he has come to terms with that. it's who's holding the dagger to his neck #the one before was a stranger to him; still not easy to kill but easier when you feel nothing for them #ii is a friend. a bandmate. the closest person in vessel's whole life and he has to die by his hands #it isn't easy to let go. for either of them. but holy duty stands above any feelings they may have.#there's no vessel now; just a lifeless body that housed sleep once and never will again #there is no ii either. a new vessel now stands reborn #he is without a name but his new purpose is grander than he'll ever be #his demise laid out right in front of him #slumped at his feet #okay enough writing in the tags alex i hope you shit yourself (very affectionate)#sparrowverse #bygone lore

actually I love Tentoo and he is the Doctor and it was the only ending for Rose that worked and it is a huge gift to be able to have the man she loves grow old with her, they were always heading for that, y'all be quiet. I 100% understand the angst but it's okay, they're okay, good ending-

#did you want her to...not end up with the doctor?#she ended up with the doctor. she ended up with the doctor and they get to AGE together #they get to have a real honest relationship the way they both always genuinely wanted #it's hard that the full time lord version has to carry on without her but that is the way that character's story ALWAYS goes #the doctor does not get to keep ANYONE. it would be a different show if he did #meanwhile there is a version of that same face of his - the one that was MADE for love? particularly born out of love for ROSE? the one 1/2 #2/2 that always wanted a FAMILY? and stability? and a normal life? the tenth doctor longed for that specifically because of rose #now he gets to have it AND be part-human so he doesn't have to watch her get old. he gets old WITH HER #and they're canonically growing their own Tardis so you don't even have to be sad that they're not adventuring in time and space as usual #because they ARE. it's the kindest ending for either character. and if the full time lord hadn't left without either of them-#-he would have had to lose them eventually. lose Rose because she's human? hello? painful? but instead he was selfless and left her-#-with a proper happy ending. which she CHOSE to have so you can't be like “he tricked her!” she chose to kiss one of them and it was Tentoo #they are the same man. Rose won in this scenario.#and I GET IT I am with Billie Piper I think it will always feel a little off that she was left with Tentoo and not the full time lord #I understand. it still makes me a little sad. but I know it's a good ending writing-wise. really the ONLY ending.#yes I know about the popular idea of Immortal!Rose or Bad Wolf Rose or whatever and that's cute and all BUT - it's not a GOOD thing #it's not PREFERABLE to be immortal. Rose doesn't want to live forever. she wants to be with the man she LOVES forever.#she doesn't want to not die or adventure for all time. she wants to be there to hold his hand. and when Tentoo is born she gets THAT!#Immortal!Rose is tragic. the Doctor would not wish the burden of immortality on the woman he loves HELLO #anyway #I ship timepetals. that includes Tentoo/Rose. because he is the doctor #so there #I have more thoughts on Tentoo specifically but I digress #maybe if provoked in an Ask or something idk #doctorrose #timepetals #opinion piece #tenrose #tentoo #handy

#dbtag #silly hours #god #I feel like that's a really clear and consistent thing throughout the entirety of the manga but OTL leave it to Toei!!!!#lays on the floor I wish people were less afraid of letting “good guys” be flawed and selfish and reckless without having to like.#idk vilify them?#like Goku does and always has had a ton of negative qualities about him but what keeps him a protag and what keeps those negatives charming #is that 1) he never promises to be anything Else. If you're upset by his behavior that's a you problem Goku's just doing Goku #He's only upset when Other People get hurt because 2) almost none of those negative qualities contain any malice whatsoever #even as a kid when he was 'i killed that guy' it was like 'i solved a problem why are you mad (gen)' not 'good fucking riddance lol'#and he kept that as an adult too even when he learned more about compassion he's still 'well if you're not gonna stop i have to kill you'#it's never 'fuck off and die' it's always 'listen buddy either you knock it off or i knock you out there is no option c '#and god i love that Goku. I spent so long thinking I hated Goku growing up but I only hated Toei's Goku. Toriyama's Goku is GREAT.#like look if an antagonist is just a hero with the wrong perspective a hero is just a villain with the right one #and the fact that Goku has all of the qualities of a villain with none of the malice or intention makes him SO POWERFUL as a character #Goku doesn't like bystanders getting hurt. That doesn't make him less chaotic and self-centered and simplistic in his worldview.#A hero sacrifices his loved ones to save the world -- a villain sacrifices the world to save his loved ones --#Goku sacrifices himself because you cannot kill him in any way that matters #idskahds anyway here's another essay in the tags for your wednesday evening scroll #the justification the interviewer gave was that the anime was for kids but my beef with that is that Hero Tropes strip chaotic characters #of their emotions. Goku's conflicts are emotional. Goku's power is emotional. Goku's childlikeness keep him authentically emotional.#MORE kids -- ESPECIALLY little boys -- deserve a male protagonist who leans into his emotions to persevere and win.#Super deciding his “angelic state” would kill him makes me want to tear my hair out lmao Goku's EMOTIONS are too strong to hold it.#you could've just asked toriyama about it why'd you decide on the most basic high-stakes shorthand possible OTL #aNYWAY #media analysis #in the tags at least lol

If when Megumi and Yuuji talk again Megumi asks why Yuuji insists on saving him, and we get a callback to "personal feelings/selfish, emotional decision" i will die. You'll never hear from me again

#itafushi #yuuji no longer thinks that you need a given role for your life to have meaning #and he knows that Megumi's life would have had worth even without a “dignified death”#this isn't about megumi asking to be saved. or dignified death. probably not even about what his grandpa told him about helping people #he wants to save megumi because he doesn't want him to die #akwjakka #idk what im talking about btw its 3am and i can't sleep #jjk manga #jjk manga spoilers #? in the tags lol #yuji itadori #megumi fushiguro #jujutsu kaisen

to the people who write summaries and wikis with thorough breakdowns of all the lore and media for a series that breaks it up into 20 different formats: you are doing fantastic work, may it remain intact and accessible well into the future, I owe you my life

to the people that decide splitting your series into 20 different media formats with critical lore in most/all of them is a good idea:

ARCHIVE YOUR SHIT IMMEDIATELY, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING.

#my post #the hill i will die on is “DO NOT EXODIA YOUR MEDIA IF YOU WANT IT TO SURVIVE. DO NOT ASSUME. DO NOT SPLIT THE LORE.''#Example one: FNAF. It is in an absolute cocomelon state of comprehensibility. this is why the fans are insane (/positive).#Example 2: RWBY / RoosterTeeth. Were it not for the work of fans preserving their media #we would have lost SO MUCH fucking work and effort.#Example 3: Project Moon. Comics and fan-works have been scrubbed from the internet because they put their foot up their own asses.#(which at the same time i have endless respect for. but when the lore is any amount spotty. if you use a COMIC to supplement.)#Example 4: BATIM. Putting any amount of lore in the NOVELS is asking for karma.#(FNAF is not immune to this. AT ALL.)#Example 5: *EVERY FUCKING ARG OUT THERE*. It is SO stressful trying to get into a series on a timer-#-that is ENTIRELY decided by how long its host service keeps its components functional #Example 6: Warframe. Half the lore is in YOUTUBE TRAILERS. Half is in INACCESSIBLE EVENTS.#THE STORY IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE WITHOUT THE WIKI.#all of this is exacerbated by streaming services deleting anything and everything at the drop of a hat #and certain medias (BATIM. RoosterTeeth. FNAF) just straight up DELETING THEIR SHIT. for REASONS.#YOUR LONGEVITY IS DOOMED TO A BRIEF EXISTENCE WITHOUT A BACKUP PLAN
