Guys, its not some fucking “bad luck devil” or whatever. It’s clearly this fucking time gargler or whatever the fuck that’s behind all this nonsense. Aguefort literally lays it out for us that the quangle makes things happen out of order. Things like, say…Zelda and Gorgug being broken up even though we know from the Seven that they’re still together in Junior year, or Aelwyn suddenly moving out and going from a snarky 19 year old whose never had a job or gone to college to a middle school teacher with 5 cats in the course of 3 months, or the sophomore album being 10 months late even though Fig only finished her debut a little over 16 months ago AND they were in the middle of the tour, or Hallariel and Gilear getting engaged after like a year when 3 months ago Gilear wasn’t even allowed to sleep in her bed, and Sklonda defending one of the organizers of this folk festival when the festival hasn’t even happened yet, or Figs birthday suddenly moving from Christmas to July.
#honestly the fact that we started en media res could even be construed as part of it#that feeling we had of being thrown into something all out of order#like. i think the fact that the team are such good improvisors is being used to hide whats happening from them#they’re so used to yes anding everything that the inconsistencies don’t pop out#anybody interested is welcome to come and join the church of quanglicanism#quanglicanism#time quangle#dimension 20#d20#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#fhjy theory

OC Shimamaru has a passive/active AoE affect where anymore who tries to find her is automatically cursed with Looney Tunes Bad Luck until they give the fuck up.
She watched over Setsuna enough times that she told the child about this. So at least once, as a Last Resort, Setsuna would, with a shit-eating grin, goad the Super Strong Enemy into the “BRUNG IN AS MICH REINFORCEMENTS, I’LL TAKE THEM ALL DOWN!” mindset. So Ridiculous Thingamabobber would bonk or suck the Enemy into submission for DARING to call on this vague entity who they don’t know is Shimamaru. Like a hole in the ground opening up where there was cold hard stone ground. Or an anvil out of nowhere being yeeted into them when it should not be possible ever. Or somebody is suddenly compelled to throw a Thing at the beast, and that somehow beats it. Or a series of trip-ups. Whatever.
Social Connection Actually Has A Use!

yknowwww there is something... deeply uncomfortable about the way mel never speaks directly to viktor in the 'build hextech weapons' scene. she really only speaks to jayce. plenty of people have pointed this out already but like the one scene they actually share a meaningful interaction and she treats him like he's beneath her. all this after jayce has emphasized how important viktor is, that hextech is theirs, together. she unequivocally ices him out, there's no other way to interpret this scene. the way it's shot too - from viktor's perspective, looking up at her, as though to reinforce the same belief in him. like he doesn't even bother expecting respect from her - or anyone from the upper echelon of piltover. he's fully accustomed to being dehumanized by everyone around him at this point. sometimes even by jayce, despite the trust they clearly have in each other.
then of course after this scene is viktor experimenting on himself. it's pretty clear that he has internalized his own dehumanization. crazy.
#dont open these tags unless you want to read an essay im so serious#quick disclaimer i do properly ship jayvik as of s2e9 aha#sorry abt the like. spam. but yk this what rewatching an insanely detailed show with fresh eyes does to a mfer#arcane#.txt#i think mel and jayce (among others) both exhibit the same kind of casual classism#jayce somewhat more obviously with his whole 'the zaunites are dangerous' spiel#and mel more subtly. its in the way she shows very little concern for the plight of the undercity until yk. it explodes in her face#she's been on the council for a decade. has done little but rub elbows with the elites of piltover and amass her own fortune#pretty clear she hasn't so much as blinked at the horrific state of zaun. this makes her a very willing participant in its oppression fyi#and then of course her treatment of viktor#ive seen it pretty heavily debated and i don't really see any reason to deny or defend these actions of hers#likewise when jayce accosts viktor and reprimands him for going to the undercity or makes a hextech weapon there's no reason to excuse him#these are clear examples of classist behaviour and i dont think it does anybody any favours to ignore it#jayvik#<-tagged bc those who do not want to read criticism of or about mel will likely have it blocked#im not here to stir the pot thanks#there's also something a bit kooky about the idea of 2 privileged rich kids commiserating about the sad state of the undercity#meanwhile a literal resident of said undercity whose perspective they could REALLY use is dying in a lab using his own body to try and#cure a common zaunite ailment/disease#meanwhile they wont help until they feel piltover is 'safe' (aka has WMDs to use against any perceived threat aha....)#anyway#its all very complicated and i dont doubt that their intentions were good (...mostly) but the road to hell and all that#it just rly bothers me that viktor was like. right there. a wealth of insight into zaun. and neither jayce nor mel even bother engaging him

lots of people interpreting Ashton's "i want the gods to pray to us" devoid of the context of the lines directly before and after it, so here's the full quote: "in my darker moments, that's what i want, is i want to see them pray to us. i want to see them ask what we want." it was not intended to be a statement, but an admission, and it wasn't about worship at all; its about the fact that Ashton spent his whole life praying to any and all gods for some safety or healing or comfort and got nothing, only for them to finally bother to show up when he and the Hells became useful or inconvenient.
#saw a post that argued extensively against the 'pray to us' line without realizing that half of the points they were making#were in fact supporting what ashton said directly after. it then ended by saying anybody who agreed with him lacked media literacy#which i mean you really have to appreciate that kind of classic fandom posting#crposting#ashton's perspective is by their own admission imperfect and theres room for critique. but like no one on here is doing a good job lol#idk that person could have realized and just gone with it anyways#in which case i guess the real media literacy test is identifying that they misrepresented their source lmao#cr spoilers#cr meta

Tartar, what would u do if one of your sanitized smooched you
Tartar seems to have a strong aversion towards any sort of affection...
#splatoon#splatoon 2#octo expansion#commander tartar#sanitized octoling#my art :o]#responding to stuff :o]#posting this right after the kissing booth one lmaooooo#yes that is a Tartar-kitty you are welcome#experiences 12000+ years of isolation and could REALLY use some affection & companionship...#but develops a strong aversion towards it instead oops#I'm certain that 12000+ years of isolation made Tartar [very normal] and [well adjusted] and totally [mentally stable]!#the closest thing he has to any sort of connection is with the C.Q. Cumbers and that is only a surface level type business relationship#and the professor I guess who is very much deceased oof#lonely ahhh telephone got so used to the detrimental amount of isolation it doesn't even know how to connect with anybody anymore#Tartar's mind got so messed up it seems incapable of recognizing humanity anymore and only has a deeply distorted image of it instead#:o]

Usopp obtaining Conqueror's haki makes so much sense to me and I genuinely think he deserves it on Elbaf please please please
#gotta be honest i am SO tired of people saying sanji should have it because i don't think it fits his his story. or personality. or him.#haki is quite literally the force of will and ambition and people keep forgetting usopp is ??? there??? and his whole story is about that#and it's not even about powerscaling bc i hate it. it's about usopp finally having a moment of owning himself and his dream and his ambitio#i don't want him to use conqueror's haki to have a power-up out of nowhere i want him to show strength by himself#and also i want him to scare the shit out of everyone for a second there it'd be epic and also funny#i swear to god i could write an essay about this but this guy deserves this more than anybody else#also i adore sanji but people keep talking about him as if he hadn't just have two arcs about him??? hello???#and egghead is also focusing on him now???#sanji move it's usopp's time#also hopefully nami will have an important scene. someday. i guess. i hope so.#one piece#usopp

the horny horny response to that tiktok makes up for the ppl in the notes having full on wah-wah meltdowns over the suggestion that tiktok's perceived Quality fully has to do with how you, individually, use it. I don't even have to say anything, bc these two tags already summarize it perfectly
#IT'S CALLED CURATING YOUR EXPERIENCE...#and yes for god's sake. stop hatewatching#it adapts so specifically that I started getting golden retrievers like Crazy in the months before I adopted Hugo#bc when I came across a video w one in it. I would watch it like 10 times#and it went oh I see you're looping this#people are so dramatic. someone tried to say that tiktok (unlike other social media) is promoting eating disorders#as if tumblr.com didn't LITERALLY INVENT THINSPO. pro-ana anybody? or are ppl too young to remember#you can still find ppl on tumblr promoting that NOW. tiktok isn't special.#also 'regularly' here is used like 'normal' and not 'frequently' if u could not tell jfc#sergle.txt

As per Tumblr recommendation, I started Kevin can fuck himself yesterday. I see people comment on how the sitcom part makes it look the way people see an abuser and how the abuse can be disguised. People think he is just a funny guy and the abuse goes unnoticed. I personally see it otherwise, although it's similar.
People know he is an asshole. He spends a whole episode being mean to the new neighbours just because. He meets a dangerous guy at a bar, in public. He is an alcoholic who throws weird parties with lots of other people at home. Patty's boyfriend tells her twice in the 3 or 4 conversations we see that he is an idiot. People know, and people avoid him.
And his bubble know, but they justify it and excuse it. And that's the sitcom. The sitcom is the theater of excuses Allison has (and then other characters too) about his behaviour.
"Can you believe it? We were in our anniversary, such a fun party, we were both super drunk and I don't know how it ended, that I was face down on the floor and the table was broken! Anniversa-rager we call it lol"
"He is such a clumsy guy that just as I was leaving the house, you won't believe that I don't know how he managed to cover me in chilli sauce! What a silly goose!"
"He is so helpless without me, he couldn't find the printer and he called me all day because he needed me to explain to him how to work it. And he worries too! He called the cops because he didn't know where I was, maybe I forgot to tell him".
The conversations with her coworker about husbands help drive this point. That's what mariage is. You find ways to justify it and to avoid certain fights and that's it. We got lucky.
But he did all these things on purpose. And the unreliable narrator of the sitcom makes the joke of it and makes the audience consider that maybe it isn't *that bad*. Allison needs to believe that's what it is, so it is. It really isn't that bad, she thinks, he is just like that.
And we can actually see the worrying things and the threatening parts from minute one. It's only a joke because we have been trained to dismiss it. To justify it and to move on. He isn't doing any heavy lifting here.
In episode 1, just the fact that he ends up standing on the table (when she doesn't want him to even put glasses on without protection) says a lot. But then the table breaks and he fixes it poorly and visibly. It would be bad enough just like this, but I personally think there is more to it. It's just that Allison doesn't want to speak about it or look at it so it is just the table, but it's the switch that turns on for her, the last drop. But she did end face down on her living room, on top of the broken table. It's a very elegant narrative tool where we don't see, but if we wanted to see, it's there.
And the more she notices, the more off-putting the sitcom is. It's still played as a joke, with the laugh track, but she is more aware now, so we can notice too.
We start the series with her turning point, but if the series started a year before that, it would only be happening in her house, as it is her life, her only frame of reference, and it would only be a sitcom because isn't he such a clumsy but caring guy?
#kevin can fuck himself#I have so many thoughts about this series#I have 2 examples of the top of my head of social situations that reflect on this sitcom idea#1 of them when she finally divorced him everyone in the village congratulated her#nobody liked him. he created trouble wherever he went. he had felony charges all over the place.#there was not much anybody could do. His sisters (not hers. HIS) came years before to tell her to divorce him and still#people knew. he didn't charm anybody. he didn't pretend he was the perfect husband#and another one was much less violent but things had to be as he liked them when he liked them where he liked them#I was in that group of friends for 3 months and left because it was boring but also because there was nothing for me to do#he didn't have a job yet his wife had to cook after work for all his friends in the day we all met#a long time friend of his barely came to his dinners and said that he only hang out with him at bars where he could get drunk#because he couldn't stand him while not drunk#so his wife would be isolated from many people because many of the people who used to hang out with him just didn't want to be there#I don't know if she had her own friends#this is just to say: people know and the victim is still isolated because eventually there is nothing people can do#there is no hollywood solution to it#and: the victim is isolated even when there is people to chat with them and help them out#the victim isolates themself. The abuser isolates them on purpose. and the whole situation is very difficult to handle from the outside.

The time had come. Nightwing was putting the finishing touches on the bombs that were supposed to go off in the enemies airships. The heroes on the ground were fighting, but holding bated breaths in hope that the hero would make it out okay.
But then there was a boom from above. The very ship that was supposed to go off in minutes instead blew in seconds.
The day was still saved, but the ringing shouts and screams of heroes caught the wind on the battle field, they reverberated with war cries as some sought revenge for their fallen comrade.
But some held hope, Superman had shot up at the explosion, along with wonderwoman and many others. They searched the skys for a trace, as the fight raged on below they searched, and as they tore their way through the ship the bats rained down on the wreckage that had fallen to the ground.
It wasn't until a yell of finding from superman that everything seemed to cease, Nightwing was dead
#mini fic#nightwing#dick grayson#dc#dc comics#I'm always so intrigued by Dick dying#what the repercussions are#What kind of tidal waves go out#Injustice and so much more have shown us pieces of what could be#but I want a real canon one#anybody have any recs?

what's a lesser known spider-man related thing that you don't see enough people talk about? (for me although its not lesser known, more like forgotten, only two people (you included) have recongnized my pfp)
weird al yankovic song
youtube
#sci speaks#weird al.. without a doubt arguably the most popular accordion player in an incredibly specific genre of music.#i really could have mentioned a whole number of things but i think i've mentioned the “rock reflections of a superhero” album like 100 time#if you haven't checked out the rock reflections of a superhero album. boy you better. it's on spotify.#okay it's mostly music.#other things: that fan script for tasm3. i think about it all the time.#and i love baman piderman. yes.#i honestly think baman piderman did become a minor bit of inspiration for peter b parker's movements in itsv.#i mean it. i smelt a lot of parallels. i kept thinking of piderman when i saw peter b using his webs.#and it checks out. piderman was the cringefail spider-man before ANYBODY. itsv copied his swagger.#i bet you one of the animators on spiderverse will come clean. one day.#also. the animators on baman piderman are ludicriously talented. i used to go to their streams. fucking insane what they do.#actually a little treasure of a series if you guys haven't checked it out.#it's sad it fell out of people's peripheries. it's very charming nonsense. and a lot of love went into it.#i was in love with baman piderman. long before i even cared about spider-man. there. that's the truth.#i cared about piderman FIRST!

Sometimes I remember that Asra told us he loved us in the prologue and we immediately pass out so he has to reboot us so we don't go comatose and I Scream because can you imagine loving someone so much and being their caretaker and you sold half your heart for them and you just have to sit idly by with your feelings?? I'd go BALLISTIC!! And you could just not choose him??? Wild!!
#asras route shouldve had so much angst#it just shouldve been more than what it was#i wanna talk about that Asra#i wanna talk about how he was before and how unhinged he was when he had to bargain half his heart#and how he feels bottling everything up inside#and you could date lucio?? his mortal enemy??? and he didnt hate you!!#or julian?? his ex???#the possibilties were so endless for angst in all the routes and we got nothing#he dug through ash and bone for us#to find us!!#and did a ritual FOR US#i will never stop screaming#i cant choose anybody over him im sorry i am intertwined with this man#asra my beloved#the arcana#asra#asra alnazar#asra the arcana#my posts

looking back at ye olde combo book fandom i can only describe the feeling as feeling like if Superwholock got a divorce
#this is EXTREMELY specific but like. if you were there you remember#that like very specific 2010-2014ish era of book fandoms where everybody used the same filter on edits and there were all the movies#and adaptations and everybody was excited#and so a bunch of book fandoms formed the superwholock of book fandoms (there were like 4 primary ones but it could get up to like ~6#sometimes more but if it went over 6 it was usually just kind of general multifandom book fandom rather than this specifically#and while it didnt have a name it had a symbol. if you have been in general fandom long enough you *know* the symbol#or the symbol variants#cause there was this little period in book fandom where everybody LOOOOVED having a symbol for their series#it was a lil bit of a general fandom thing too but for book fandoms in particular it was like a THING#my deepest condolences to anybody who got a tattoo of the combo symbol#i can do a lil history post on this later but im just. ahhh those sure were Times

violently forcing myself to have better days
#everyone’s different and this isn’t true for everybody of course:#but a lot of the time we have more control over things than we can see in a difficult moment#like for example#a negative thought is inevitable and not something you can just stop. however you CAN decide from there how you let it effect you#it’s way easier said than done but you genuinely can be like hey I’m going to have a good day today#I like to set my intentions for the day and not allow my trauma nightmares to dictate how my whole day goes#but in order to do that I have to consciously decide that I deserve better and then create that for myself#does this make sense?#do things you know you enjoy/ things that make you feel better. take care of yourself. create little healthy routines to do each day#even if it’s just for 5 or 10 minutes#you have to act to make a genuine positive change in your life and circumstances#tried to say this as well as I could but I struggle w articulating exactly what I mean#like my thoughts are too complex to translate into words#anyways though I just wanted to add this- this post is not to make anybody feel bad whatsoever.#if you struggle with certain disorders and such it genuinely might be close to impossible for you to actually be able to have that control#and that’s okay. it doesn’t make you any less of a person and it is not your fault that you experience those difficulties#I just wanted to remind people that it is possible to control certain aspects of your life and it is possible to snap yourself out of it#I know I need to remember this as often as I can#that’s why I shared it#I hope this makes sense I do not know if it does lmao#(the tags)#my thoughts are so jumbled up. idk what other word to use lmao
