#AAAAAND SCENE

[gringolet]

honestly living in camelot is not that great like you guys love to romanticize it but as someone who lives here it low key sucks. the public transit system is so bad bc trains and buses dont exist yet and the rent is crazy high. “oh but the culture” what culture? the tournament scene? watching some random relative of gawain get unseated by some random relative of lancelot every three weeks is not culture its barely entertainment. and dont get me started on the tourists

#vent #personal #no hate im just so sick of squires posting about going to camelot and making their fortune #not gonna happen and dont move here #ur driving up cost of living 🙄

Hey Amy, I know someone asked you earlier, but some time has passed since then. Have you gotten anything from Shadow?

[Amy wipes her hands off on her apron as she reads the letter, then pauses.] Amy: Chaos, my phone's been on silent all day. I didn't want to have to deal with the boss calling me, so I didn't even think- oh no. [Amy rushes to pick her phone up from the counter. Sure enough, there's a plethora of missed texts and calls on her screen. She ignores all of them save for one voicemail from Shadow and hits play.] Amy: I hope they're alright... [We hear shuffling and static on the recording, then a sigh.] Shadow (Via phone): Hey, it's me. I'm-... I-... [A huff, a muffled curse.] Shadow (Via phone): That was not something you should have had to contend with. I appreciate your patience. [Amy purses her lips, then smiles as she hears Shadow's chao, Rosie, cooing and babbling on the other end of the line.] Shadow (Via phone): Rosie says she misses you. [There's silence. Amy grips the phone tightly, the other hand slowly coming up to hold it as well.] Shadow (Via phone): ... Friday, two weeks from now. Keep your evening open. I'll pick up dinner from that Chun-Nan place you like, and... I'll bring Rosie. [There's a deep breath on the other end of the line.] Shadow (Via phone): ... Thank you, Amy. [The voicemail ends. Amy swallows, chewing her bottom lip as she rests both hands on her hips, fingers gripping her phone until her knuckles turn white as she shakes her head. After a moment, she gives a quiet laugh.]

'he's a straight-a student, jim. cocky -- confident -- thought he knew all the answers, had to do it his way. yet i can't help but admire him.'

'you're not thinking...?'

'no, i'm not thinking.'

'still, you can't feel guilty. if you hadn't run him in, there's no saying how many people might have ended up hurt!'

'but hurting wasn't really his thing. he only wanted to set the world straight -- and i can't find it in my heart to blame him for that.'

*Pulls out sword*

Final words, father-parent? Or can I even call you that anymore? After all you've done? Do you even deserve that title?

heh... so this is the end... my reign was strong... but not strong enough... my final words? hah...

fuck my stupid baka life *dies*

[charlataninred]

anti honesty hour. what’s ur opinion on the mechanisms?

Omg they are sooo problematic. How can anyone stan them? That Jonny guy LITERALLY EATS PEOPLE HELLO? AND they glorify war and they support fascism (why else would they kill off Ulysses, they person fighting AGAINST the system??)

And that’s not even getting into the age differences in the ships the fandom likes. Sure they’re all immortal and they forever look like they’re in their 20-30s but there has to be centuries between some of them? Kinda sus

*Icia smiles.... she takes Lance's (now clean) ring off her finger and puts it on his before falling asleep as well, still holding him.*

I arrive at the yarn store and grab a skein off the shelf, the exact same brand, type, weight and color of the one I bought a week ago. Everyone in the store immediately knows that I miscalculated the amount of yarn I'd need for a project. They start booing at me. They are throwing crocheted tomatoes at me. The old lady giving knitting lessons in the corner is shaking her head. She had such high hopes for me. The cashier spits at me when I pay for it.

By the time Dunite returns, he’s already out cold.

*She's dressed in her favorite white nightgown.... and a big smile as she admires Aoki and the animals asleep on the couch. She sits next to them and snuggles up, wrapping her arms around him and peacefully drifting to sleep as well.*

essentially the main reason i'm moving on from being a fan of the dream team is because they are dangerously stupid regarding very important issues and have chosen time and time again to simply remain dangerously stupid, rather than taking the time to introspect so that they can learn and grow as people.

making mistakes, suffering consequences, and working on yourself so that you can try not to make those mistakes again, is a standard part of the human experience. but celebrity removes a person from their own humanity a bit, since they are treated both as someone who is on a higher tier of human (to be idolized and worshipped by fans) and on a lower tier of human (to perform on demand for fans). i can imagine that kind of experience would feel like being under a microscope; this could either make a person hide everything about themself so that no flaws can be seen, or show everything all the time in an attempt to get approval and validation even in the things fans would normally have no idea about in the first place. throw haters and anti-fans and stalkers into the mix, and everything gets even more complicated and layered in undoubtedly miserable ways.

i understand the dream team deeply from a fan's perspective and truly cannot blame them for the way they conduct themselves publicly and in interactions with their fans. i understand them and empathize with them and continue to hope that they have friends around them who genuinely want to see them grow as people and succeed. i understand them so i'm not really angry, just sad and disappointed. these guys have the potential to be truly wonderful, and it makes me sad to see that potential wasted over and over again. but potential doesn't just disappear, so i know they're still capable and i truly hope they allow themselves to go for it someday. i just don't want to wait for it anymore!

As the wedding planning intensified, Emily had less and less time to herself. Before she left her father's house for the prince's apartments in Blackwell Palace, she'd had nothing but time: unstructured afternoons wandering the grounds of the estate, late nights shut up in her room with her favorite TV shows and their attendant fan communities, endless aimless phone calls with Josie or with the friends she'd met online. Now, her days were taken up with unending errands. Every morning, she woke early and spent at least an hour sifting through her email inbox before someone brought her a perfunctory breakfast of toast and tea and cut-up fruit. After she ate, it was engagements and public appearances, briefings with the head of royal security, staged luncheons with the Crown Princess, and tours of royal properties which might someday be hers. All the time not spend on royal scut work was eaten up by wedding planning: dress fittings, meetings with the florists and caterers, three-way phone calls with the Queen and her mother and sundry aunties and cousins, all of whom regarded her as a living, breathing dress-up doll. She wasn't a living girl to them, just a channel through which they could express all their thwarted bridal fantasies. The only time—the only time—Emily had to herself were her stolen hours in the dance studio, and she suspected those were only permitted because 'staying trim' was an essential part of her role as bride-to-be. She lived in terror of injury, fearful every day that some Institutional busybody might use a rolled ankle as an excuse to take these small scraps of solitude away from her. She had grown bolder since her engagement to the prince, but she wasn't yet brave enough to tell anyone that she was going to start biting people if they didn't give her a little breathing room.

Can I be real for a second? I don't think L giving a foot massage to Light was very in-character of him. Like manga!L would've totally scoffed at how pathetic anime!L appeared when he did that.

I like the rain scene bc it's really pretty (also Light MOANS bc of L? *sighs* yeah i ship lawlight) but I'm always so ?? at anime!L's behavior? The anime made L way too melancholic and y'know self-deprecating kinda guy. In contrast, manga!L (whom I love to death) is so so confident in doing what he's doing and has the time of his life during the Kira case as he's intellectually challenged (by Light) as he figures out the case little by little.

I don't get where the anime creators got the idea that L is a very sad character who cares about justice so much so that he's actually Justice itself? Manga!L enjoys solving cases. I'm not saying that L doesn't care about justice at all- just that he cares more about winning.

So, the anime creators looked at a character who cares about winning (& his own ego) than everything else and decided to... make him give a foot massage to his nemesis (surprise surprise bible symbolism featuring L as Jesus *🤮* coming up) apparently due to accepting Light's (boy's first debut as Judas) 'betrayal' how can there be betrayal when there was no trust between them in the first place and saying "It is the least I can do to atone for my sins"...

The only way I could've made a little sense of this is if L was mocking Kira with that line but the anime just had to go above & beyond to make it (L's actions) seem too genuine for that to be true. which is. so. FRUSTRATING

Manga!L wouldn't have done anything like that. Not even ironically (he'd have thought it to be below him for pretending to be accepting his defeat mockingly to Kira). Even Manga!L's not enough of a bastard to try to compare himself with Jesus (and just after knowing (god knows how) that he's going to die)- like that's too stupid omg: even for a mockery.

Does he actually think that Light would pick up on the (him as Jesus) symbolism and be like 'oh no! L is too noble like Jesus to die by my betrayal i'm such a bad judas how come i NEVER NOTICED THIS BEFORE'... and decide to spare L's life? Or embrace his inner Judas like the bad bitch he is and finish L for that godawful mockery of Jesus?

Whenever I think about Anime!Light's in-character reaction I crack up as it would be smth like 'wow this guy who graduated summa cum laude from torture university is pretending to be Jesus? lol what a real piece of work. would've expected better from you L: so pathetic lmao i hope rem kills you soon i'm so done with you rn- rip 💀'

Manga!L (if he knew he were going to die (don't know how that's possible in the anime; still we're talking about how the anime creators seem to see L as Jesus so ~anything is possible~) that is) would never go 'guess i'll die' accept his defeat offering a foot massage to his enemy and inwardly throw a pity party being all "… It'll be lonely, won't it?" GIRL you were the one going on & about how you'd EXECUTE Kira once you catch him on live tv (also saying that you'd bring Kira's head to the task force) I REALLY doubt you'd feel lonely if either one of you were to die- that (killing each other) was the point!!

Manga!L is a selfish character: he values his victory above all else so the anime making him accept defeat that easily + gracefully doesn't sit well with me.

Whenever I try say “Barnaby”, I sometimes accidentally say “Barbie”. I’m not sure how to explain on how this happens, but now I’m really thinking about it…
