Kipperlily Copperkettle analysis, this is a long one so click read more to read all of it.

Kipperlily Copperkettle. Halfling Rogue. 

The Model Minority.

Her parents work good jobs, respectable jobs. One of them is a realtor, they are charismatic and good with words and they work hard. Hard for their family, hard to keep things in order. The other works in bastion city, away from home and with the council of chosen. A noble job, one that is met with praise and awards. It is a good job, a respectable job for the greater good.

Her family is good. Her family is picture perfect, with two parents and a kid and a white picket fence.

She must be perfect, for her sake, for her parents sake. Halflings are kind. Halflings are sweet. They get along with everyone. They are peacemakers, so much so that humans and elves could come and take solace from them. Years of bloody history and violence brews in her veins, and she is supposed to be complicit and smile and act kind. She does so for her parents sake, with a slicked back ponytail and a perfect uniform and a smile too big, too unnerving.

I’m sure people tried to dissuade her, telling her that she wouldn't find more comfort in something different? Maybe a job as a clerk or a secretary, or an artificer so she could help build things for people. She has her mind set though, with her nails digging into her palms to control the bitter rage that boils in her as she is only ever underestimated. 

High school starts and it's supposed to be a new beginning. She will find her party, and she will make friends. And she does, sort of. The High Five heroes she calls them, setting herself up as the leader. She has to take control of everything. They don't really listen to her though. Oisin and Ivy are immediately their own little duo, as are Ruben and Lucy, although Lucy has made a point to include Kipperlily too, and Mary Ann just acts uninterested in everything thus far. She has to make sure everything is perfect. A fight happens during the first day of school. It results in two students death, and makes the principle commit murder suicide on both himself and the counselor in order to bring two students back. Maybe that's where it started, the jealousy and the burning hatred and the obsession. Maybe it started a little earlier that day, when Riz handed out his business cards, and Kipperlily took it. Saw his name, maybe even wanted to be friends at first. Maybe he was too busy with the case of missing penny luckstone, maybe he was too busy with the friends that seemed to care about him. Maybe Kipperlily was jealous that his party actually cared about him, whilst hers only tolerated her at best.

I think that's where it started. The jealousy, the obsession. Her anger got worse, nails digging into skin and drawing blood. She is just so angry. She has always been angry, rage and spite boiling in her blood. Her parents said she came into the world not crying but screaming, like existing in this very world hurt her. She studied him. She learnt everything about him as the year went on and she felt shame. Burning, red shame. She started seeing the new counselor in hopes of getting help. She knew this wasn't normal. She was just so angry and had nothing to do with all this rage and fury. So she talked about it, how she was jealous of him. How he got the perfect adventurers story, a dead dad and a party full of people who cared. Her parents were normal. They were perfect, blended in perfectly. They were kind and sweet and polite and possibly never home because they have busy jobs. Busy respectable jobs. They were respectable people and nothing more because the world would never allow them to be anything more.

One way or another, Porter hears of a halfling rogue with rage in her veins. One way or another he approaches her, tells her that he will help her. He sees her potential, he sees just how great she can be. Kipperlily believes him. She trains with him, learning from him, hooked on to every word of praise he gives her. She is special, she is meant for something great, this school is just unfair and hands out blatant favoritism and she has to stop it. 

Kipperlily takes the rage star, lets it fall into her chest and every petty grudge, jealousy and dislike simply turns to wrath and hatred. She gets her party to join her too, leveling them up with the help of porter and jace. She kills them. She stands over their bodies as rage stars are forced onto their chests. As their corpses are violated and they are brought back just as angry as she has always been. Kipperlily feels no guilt, this is what she is meant to do Porter tells her. She is meant to bring greatness.

Lucy is the only one who doesn't come back. That hurts her, in a way different to anything she has ever felt. Lucy always had her back, always had her side when the party was ganging up on her. Lucy was the only one who understood what it was like to be put down and underestimated. But..she stayed dead. She decided being dead was better than being with her. 

Kipperlily tries to move on but sorrow and rage just burn deep within her.

The rest is history. But one thing is clear, rage has always festered in the heart of Kipperlily, and when she tried to get help, when shame burned in her veins at how childish her rage and jealousy was, she was failed by the people she was supposed to trust. Her rage was used as a weapon, both against her and against others. She was told she would do great things, that she is special and her spite and jealousy was used in order to get her to do things had her teachers not failed her, maybe she wouldn't have done.

Kipperlily will forever have the blood of her friends, of her party members, on her hands. She will never get rid of that shame, it will stain her hands, it will stain her legacy. She is nothing more than a villain in the history books now, when in reality she was a teenage girl who was failed over, and over again. She was a teenage girl who felt rage, and felt ashamed of her rage because she was told she needed to be kind, complicit. A sweet halfling girl, something she never was and never will be.

Santanas that definitely for sure aren’t totally self Indulgent….. closeups under cut

Santana also gets to dress up as Chappel roan (I don’t remeber specifically when she wore this outfit but it felt fitting) also just . The guy.

(Comphet) Lesbian catchphrase tm (or that’s what I call it ) plus another example of. The guy

Hmmm alt Santana, yall will get more of her (I have experimented with a lot of dif hairstyles traditionally, I just had the idea of this with this one so yeah)

[bookishfeylin]

At any rate, I need y'all to explain how, exactly, Feyre destroying the Spring Court was meant as punishment for Tamlin if his people weren't hurt/suffering from it in some way. It's reiterated in every book that he despises being a High Lord, so it's not like losing his position and power was what bothered him so much. So what was Feyre hoping would bother him???

She talks about painting the walls of Rosehall red... what did y'all think that meant??? Feyre tells Lucien that she didn't want to kill Tamlin because she thought his court falling apart around him was a better punishment... And Tamlin was explicitly was upset at the High Lord's meeting because of the state of his people, mentioning their villages being nothing but ashes now.

Feyre wanted to use innocent people's suffering to punish their leader. Rather than like, kill Tamlin or something else reasonable, she took her anger out on innocent people. She wanted to use their death and displacement, their pain and suffering, to punish him. And as much as I love Feyre, and as much as I believe it'd be better if Feyre had killed him or something in ACOWAR, it's wholly sadistic to do that innocent people. It's the white woman syndrome all over again.

Alot of these CCs need to understand that they have to stop going by hear say and rumors and get the correct information from the source.

You see rumors spreading around about a certain cc and the first thing you do is believe it instead of messaging the person privately, especially if they are a friend.

"Hey, I'm curious, is it true you did XYZ?" or

"Hey, I'm curious, have you heard about XYZ going on about you?"

All these unnecessary drama is just adding more fuel to the fire and its petty. Too much backstabbing going on, starting unnecessary drama, making fun of people that you once consider a friend. Not picking up your phone to talk to them about any issues you have because there clearly is one.

It's like they perfer negative attention over positive ones.

tbh it seems Homestuck and Game of Thrones suffered from the same problem of ‘writer is bored after nearly a decade of it and thus speed-runs the ending while throwing aside character arcs and actual story development so we get nonsensical shit that is incredibly unfulfilling and makes everyone mad since its so lackluster and crappy and no amount of good animation/effects will make up for substance without story’

like i get being tired of a project after so long but like i dunno, maybe attempt to wrap it up in a way that doesn’t utterly sour the rest of it because its clearly so crappily written and the end is just like ‘hey have this shit cause we’ll know you’ll eat it due to being fans for years’? I can’t even be bothered to really watch/read either thoroughly since I know they both have the same shit conclusions so I just occasionally watch/read the good parts and then get super mad at What Could Have Been if there had just been some passion in the writing at the end.

i am trying so so hard to be recklessly compassionate and be forgiving and understanding to all of the “as a Jew…” people right now but some of these bitches are making me want to bring back kapo as an insult

[theohnocorral]

What did you think of the Pinocchio movie?

It's good! I liked it a lot, the stop motion is great and Pinocchio himself is just ✨🥺✨so cute. It's different and sad, the whole thing has an underlying melancholy but it's broken up by humor and great visuals.

Not as dark as I was expecting from del Toro but the character/creature design is on point.

Also I busted out crying near the end but like personal issues.

Would recommend for sure!

tbh i would have loved a minecraft movie where the world was visibly updating around steve and alex as they explore. like, the first couple days have the old textures and their movement is laggy etc.

it takes a little while for the audience to notice, but as the days go by, there are more mobs and new trees and the movements of everything is smoother. and suddenly everything is so much more colourful than it was before and now the oceans have life, and the villages are huge, and the nether is full of biodiversity and the caves are enormous and theres something lurking at the bottom

and throughout the movie, you can see the odd character in the background of youtubers that started playing during whatever version it is at that point, and when we reach 1.20 all of a sudden alex and steve run into this group of people and its all the new character skins that were introduced at that point

idk its a shame we get something that visibly didnt have much thought put into it aside from 'lets make jumanji again but this time its minectaft' when there are so many possibilities that have so much more interest

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together
