#And acting accordingly

“I wasn’t able to do very much…”

I mean you directly contributed to the survival of both Fai and Kurogane but be humble I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s such a big Tomoyo move to bargain away an incredible power that she’d had her entire life to prevent someone from dying and still be like “Well I didn’t do THAT much…”

And yet I assume this is also because she’s seen what lies ahead and knows exactly How Significant the actions in the rest of the plot will be, so hers don’t feel as wide sweeping by comparison. 

Like, I know it’s a politeness thing, but still! I will personally assign credit to Tomoyo myself! One letter at a time if I have to!

I don't think we've ever thoroughly unpacked how messed up the way Heimerdinger "comforted" Viktor. The only thing that Heimerdinger could really say is that the "brightest stars burn the fastest", but that's not what's going on here.

Viktor's dying from an unnatural cause!!! He's been poisoned by gas from the mines Piltover excavated in Zaun. This isn't a tragedy caused by random chance, Viktor's condition was done to him by Piltover, by Heimerdinger!

Heimerdinger is essentially comforting his own victim, and he tells Viktor that his death is just the way things are, as if there's no responsible parties involved except fate itself. I wonder if Viktor thought about this himself while Heimerdinger was talking to him. What a truly genuinely awful moment for him to sit through.

If you know you have covid and still walk around unmasked, you’re a bad person. If you know you have covid and don’t tell the people around you, you’re a bad person. If it takes your diagnosis being outed for you to mask up in front of a mic, you’re a bad person. If every other athlete who tested positive pulled out and you didn’t, YOU’RE A BAD FUCKING PERSON, NOAH LYLES!

i think a lot of people in the fandom have a bad habit of acting as if aziraphale should know everything we, the audience, know about crowley, and that he should therefore be more sympathetic to feelings that aziraphale literally doesn't even know crowley has, because crowley hasn't told him.

“When you know that consciousness is the one and only reality - conceiving itself to be something good, bad or indifferent, and becoming that which it conceived itself to be - you are free from the tyranny of second causes, free from the belief that there are causes outside of your own mind that can affect your life.” - Neville Goddard, The Power of Awareness

Stolitz, and their fear of rejection and sense of worthlessness turning into a self-fulfilled prophecy.

Blitz—

Does anybody love you, Blitzo? / No.

Eventually everyone goes...

Stolas only cares about having a rugged peasant raw-dog him into his mattress. It's nothing... You know. It's nothing else.

I'm going to die alone, aren't I? Just a wrinkly, old, withered waste.

Royal demons don't give a shit about guys like us. They're all the fucking same.

Stolas, don't act like what we have is anything but you wanting me to fuck you. You make that really clear all the time.

But you don't want to do things alone, Blitzo.

I mean, Stolas is just a loud, thirsty bitch who loves feeling the thrill of being dicked by the lower class. It's a novelty to him.

And then he'll call me and try to see how my day was, and he'll pretend to care about me, and comment on my photos, and laugh at my jokes... /Oh well that's definitely your clue right there that it's all bullshit / I know, right?!

It's all my fault. I'd hate me too. I mean, I do hate—

You're going to die alone. You're gonna die alone, Blitzo.

[My worst fear has come true. He couldn't possibly want me. This has to be a joke. He's selfish and an asshole, just like the rest of them. He's trying to get rid of me; that's the only explanation. I'm just a broken toy he's finally gotten bored of, just like I knew would happen. He won't even fight for me, and why would he? I could never be good enough for him. It's happening again. I'm being abandoned by someone I care about. I really am going to die alone.]

Stolas—

Would he want me if he was free? And if he's only here as a prisoner, what kind of monster does that make me?

I mite b bsuy / I wouldn't want to bother you!

You see... I seem to have found myself with, um. Feelings for him. And I'm not sure if it's a mutual thing.

Dearest, I know better now, I must give you this choice.

I'll save us both before we grow cold.

What's between you and I? Just a comfortable lie.

I'm sorry it's a bad time yet again, Blitzy...

He deserves the choice to stay or go.

So I'll grant you this mercy, this bind on our souls needs to end...

Next time you come over, maybe we can talk about what happened at Ozzie's? / Y? / I'm sorry! Nevermind, it's not a big deal.

What's left for me and my broken heart if I cannot have you? Unless it's me, and no matter what in this world I could give, it's not enough to get through the walls you've conjured up to live...

I'll believe him, and not the voice that says I'm not enough.

I'll fucking die alone if this goes bad!

[My worst fear has come true. I truly am not worthy of being loved. He's rejecting me— no, mocking me for even thinking he could ever want to be with me if he didn't need my book. I've been taking advantage of him all this time, all the while believing we had something real and being naive enough to think he could love me back. I am a monster. And now that he can, he has chosen to leave me. So now the least I can do is quietly let him—the only person I have ever wanted and felt alive with—go. I really am going to die alone.]

Look I know Lucifer isn't the best dad ever but I feel like people who say he's a bad dad are purposely ignoring the context of the show. It is very much implied that he thought Charlie wanted nothing to do with him, and Charlie thought he wanted nothing to do with her. Lucifer’s still dealing with trauma from Heaven and his fall and probably will for the rest of time plus he's dealing with what would probably qualify as clinical depression, and simultaneously dealing with trauma, clinical depression, and autistic traits (which Lucifer absolutely has; I do not say, as an autistic person, that Lucifer is a massive autistic mood for no reason) is a fucking NIGHTMARE.

I'm not saying Lucifer shouldn't take responsibility. He should. But he's already doing better than my dad frankly. Lucifer hits me in the daddy issues, I wish my dad made an effort to be more active in my life. Lucifer is fucking trying, and that's better than a lot of people can say about their dads.

Leverage 3x16 - "The San Lorenzo Job"

[aaronsinferno]

Some of you wanting Bi Buck has absolutely nothing to do with wanting representation. You don’t care about the message or the story. You want this to be one of your smut fanfics and it’s not at all hard to see. Shipping characters who aren’t together isn’t a bad thing and is normal. Everyone knows that.

That’s until things become weird. And things have been weird in the 911 fandom for a while.

You antagonize every actress and female character that gets romantically involved with Buck and Eddie and then hide your hands and say you just don’t connect with them and that they’re not interesting when in reality you never wanted to give them a chance to begin with.

Now you’re doing the same thing to Louis and you’re getting angry that people are standing up for him and rooting for his character on the show.

Buck being bi doesn’t automatically mean he should become a cheater or that he’s in a constant state of confusion. That has more to do with his ethics than orientation. Bisexuals being incapable of monogamy and cheat on their partners is a harmful stereotype.

Tommy having intentions to lure Buck into a false sense of security before revealing himself to be a monster is not the bi experience or a positive queer experience at all and wanting it for any reason is cause for concern.

Buck just came out. It went well. He has a boyfriend who he cares about and who cares about him. Oliver and Lou said that this is a love story. These are all good things. Tommy is a good guy. Lou is a good guy.

This is literally the dream. So why the hateful backlash?

You know, one of the reasons I like DanStelle is that the narrative kinda hates their asses.

No, they're not doomed by the narrative. The narrative refuses to give them a big ultimatum, actually. What it does instead is keep kicking them back into the mud repeatedly and it's getting kinda funny.

Of course, there's Dan Heng and all of his Imbibitor Lunae baggage, but Stelle is out there getting impaled by lances and being drugged and getting into shady deals with IPC directors and getting manipulated by future-seeing people and being used on experiments and getting possessed and getting on Inception shenanigans and debating priests with a few screws loose on their heads. There's no rest for either of them.

I used to say "Well, at least they can go back home to each other" but now guess what? The narrative started fucking over them both at the same time! They're locked on an underwater prison right now! They're on fucking Impel Down of all places!

Tough it out, you two. It's probably just the beginning, anyway.
