Rumlow said Bucky and all of sudden I was a 16-year-old kid from Brooklyn

yes, Steve froze bc Rumlow said Bucky's name, but it's the 16 yro Steve that froze, not the 30ish Steve! which means 16yro Steve froze when Bucky was mentioned!

So imagine back when they were still in school, Steve overheard random classmates chatting in the hallway

Person A: Bucky won another boxing match. gosh, he's so cool!

Steve: *blushes for no reason*

Person B: we have math together. he's so smart, he even corrected the teacher today.

Steve: *heart pounding so hard he's gonna have a cardiac arrest*

(after school) Bucky: what's with the asthma attack today? what caused it?

Steve: nuthin'

okokok but the subversion of what intelligence and wisdom even is has me in a CHOKEHOLD like yes both percy and annabeth are smart little fucks who know their greek myths and this episode was leaning heavily into annabeth's engineering brain but even with her hands literally ON THE GEARS ready to solve a complex problem it is her EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE that convinces a GOD that these kids are worth helping out. it's her developing self awareness; it's percy's moments of emotional dialogue and selfless actions and his own morality; it's her willingness to change that proves even strength has to bow down to wisdom. and wisdom doesn't come from a textbook, or an equation that can be solved, but a life well lived with good intentions and the ability to grow from each moment to the next

I really love how much mp100 stands out against other shows of its genre with its finale. there isn't some final boss, there's no grand fight between good and evil. it is, like the show has always been, about emotions and self acceptance. the finale barely involves fight scenes in the traditional sense, like I wouldn't call the encounters with teru and ritsu fight scenes since neither of them intend to hurt him, and even the fight with the suzukis ends not with someone being defeated but rather with an emotional break through. the final conflict is resolved not with violence and defeat. it's resolved with honesty and compassion and self-love. I can't get over how deeply kind this series is

also i don't want to see any of y'all call luffy stupid anymore because he clearly has a lot of knowledge when it comes to like... nonsense and mischief so like clearly it's not a lack of mental capacity or processing he's just extremely unserious

ok like, aa5 is not a Good TM game (it's possibly the worst structured aa game I've played so far, ignoring whatever the fuck the crossover was!) but i keep thinking about athena and simon and pondering whether they're my favorite protagonist-prosecutor dynamic since phoenix and edgeworth. bc it's like.

you're seventeen years old. you walk into your mentor's lab and find her bloody corpse on the robot disassembly setup, her equally bloody kid daughter next to her saying she tried to fix her mom and you just. you can't let this kid go to prison. so you frame yourself and smuggle her out and probably clean all the blood off of her. you don't say a word in your defense, even when it means you're going to death row, even when your older sister begs you to. you spend the next seven years in a cell realizing there's a real killer and trying and failing to find them.

you're eleven years old. your mother is murdered and everyone's convinced her student did it but you know he didn't, you know, but no one listens to you because you're a kid who doesn't remember anything and can't explain the emotions you're hearing (your mother would've been able to). his older sister who loved your mom, the adult closest to her - turns out she hates you, she thinks of you as a spoiled brat who did your own mom in and doomed her brother. you spend the next seven years speedrunning your adolescence to become a lawyer, because that's the only way to save this guy you know didn't hurt anyone.

obsessed with this.

I think what gets me is that this is not a Phoenix and Edgeworth situation. At no point are we told that Athena and Simon were close before the incident, and in fact I prefer the reading that they weren't. Obviously there is a baseline politeness, given Metis, but one was a withdrawn and often overwhelmed preteen and the other a bright older teenager at the beginning of his career.

It's that, when it all goes down, they both look at each other and go, I can't let this person take the blame, it's not fair. And this is key: During those seven years, they have no idea that's what the other person is thinking!

i’ve been listening to/watching many (many, many) reactions to steven universe (because that’s what you do when you become newly obsessed with something. see what everyone else thinks about it and drive yourself mad) and it’s so interesting to see all the unique ways people tackle it and the common threads between them all.

there’s podcast recaps (pressure to over-analyze) vs youtube reactions (pressure to overreact). everyone knowing the show (yay) vs fans guiding newcomers (interesting) vs everybody being blind (often disastrous). don’t mind silly fun? they love the first season and amethyst’s character. told about how ~deep~ it gets and expecting only that? they love pearl and have to be dragged through the beginning. even how they chunk the episodes affects things—in watching episode-by-episode, people go the most mad as they try to squeeze meaning out of episodes they can’t yet appreciate until later (or are just. bad at analyses.). in chunks of two, people assume su will have much more horror after watching frybo and cat fingers back-to-back. and chunks of 5 are completely different too!

this only skims the surface. i can watch any episode of su and point out which jokes usually make people laugh, what people pick up on, and how their opinion of the situation reflects on whether they have mommy issues.

One day I need to write a thing where Melkor finds Rumil's description of the Valar (the one later incorporated as the Valequenta chapter) and reads that "from the start, Eru loved Manwe more than Melkor" and this (along with Finwe's bad parenting drama) is the cause of his relapse.

I love how, even with how goofy and silly and immature MK can sometimes be, he's still a really clever character that's good at putting things together, especially in ways that the others might not think about. Being a little unserious and jocular and excitable are not inherently bad things, and they are not things that automatically mean that someone is stupid, no matter how distractable or fun-loving they might seem.

He's also very aware of his shortcomings, and is learning how to cope with his problems. I do like how they have it so far to where MK isn't getting over his problems right away, and acknowledging that sometimes things are just gonna... stick. It's a part of you, and it may stay that way for a long time. But it's livable, once you figure out how. You can even make it work for you. Take that same energy, turn it on its head, and put it towards something else. Not just coping with a problem, but learning ways to redirect it. It's really nice that this is out there, and that kids can see it. Whether or not all of them will pick up on the lessons is another matter; but I think that that some of them can, and have the opportunity to, is important.

Realizing the flavor of spicynoodles (platonic) I enjoy is when they're both kinda bitchy at each other. Just little shits. MK's going to force Red Son to buy him a fun beverage. Red Son's going to begrudgingly comply. This is the only way they know how to communicate with each other

i love reading thru my talks abt the aftons and realizing that evan has literally never done anything wrong GET HIM OUT OF THERE

So You Fucked Up and Made A Bad Decision

Since we are kind of working through A Situation cause a part Did a Bad to a loved one, as someone's whose navigated this a few times within our system and kinda lowkey professionally navigates these sorts of issues near daily for work, here is a few pointers and rules to handling it in a manner that will recover quicker and minimize long term damage with a person you care for

(This is intentionally made similar to talking to a child as this is partially aimed to help those that have delayed emotional development due to trauma. Thus this is being explained in a way targeted for people whose emotional development is rather immature / limited. If that sort of simple talking is triggering and uncomfortable for you, feel free to continue past this post /genuine)

You Did a Bad, and you noticed you Did a Bad and while that is not 'okay', these things happen and most importantly, it has ALREADY happened. There is no taking back the action that is done and the hard thing is that we now have to live with that in the moment decision whether we like it or not. It is important to internally come to terms with the reality that an Action You Regret was already done and can not be undone.

That is OK though, because now we are in the present and we can make Better Decisions.

We made one Bad Decision, but now and in the future we can make Good Decisions and we now have PLENTY of opportunities to make Good Decisions and not repeat the Bad Decisions we made in the past.

Here are some general Good Decisions we can do now and some Not So Good Decisions we can do.

Good Decision: Giving our loved one space and time to process things. You hurt them, intentionally or not, and they have a right to feel hurt. It might suck to not be able to make things better immediately, but sometimes people need time to work through what they are feeling. It's important that we respect our loved one's wishes for space. This doesn't mean they don't love you and it doesn't mean they hate you. This just means they need time to get into their best place

Not So Good Decision: Insisting on apologizing to them. It is a GOOD idea to apologize to our loved ones when we hurt them and the intent is good, but as Professor Oak says, there is a time and place for everything and now might not be the right time. It is good to put it out there that you are sorry and want to make amends, but if your loved one is not receptive and/or does not want to talk right now, it is important to make the Good Decision and give them space.

Good Decision: Give yourself time and space to process your own feelings. While they were the ones that were hurt, that doesn't mean you also don't have feelings. Even people that hurt others are allowed to have feelings, it's a natural thing and its important that you give yourself the space to feel what you are experiencing as those feelings can be really hard as well. Only when you are in a better place is it easier to figure out how we can best take care of our friends.

Not So Good Decision: Beat yourself up for having done a Bad Decision. The Bad Decision was already made and no amount of hurting yourself will undo the damage that has done. You don't deserve to be beaten up for a mistake in the past, nor does hurting yourself help heal the situation. There is little benefit to beating yourself up over it and a better use of the time and energy would be put towards thinking about how to help your friend and/or learn from this experience.

Good Decision: When both you and your loved one is ready, talk about what had happened, apologize sincerely, and discuss what you both need to move forward from this incident. It's important to openly listen to one another and come to talk on your own terms. It is also important to reflect on what brought us to this situation where a Bad Decision was made so we can learn how to prevent the situation from getting here and redirect it as a team to prevent it from happening again.
