I swear to god 99% of people watching WL forgot who won SL. Put some respect on his name
#I didn't think I'd have to disclaim this but this post/tags are about the fandom. the viewers. not the CCs#wild life#trafficblr#goodtimeswithscar#loser trioo loser triooo they always die trioooo they will never win trioooo. You can have your fun!! It's fine!! I find it funny too but#it's only funny for so long when everyone is betting on them all dying first and repeating notions that just aren't really true..?#People's opinions of Lizzie being shaped by her dying first in SL? And of Scar being shaped by every season he didn't make top 5 in?#Or god forbid the “Scar only won because person X did all the work!!” or “Scar only got so far because he was allied with Grian!” takes#it's not that serious... it shouldn't be that serious... But I can't help getting peeved sorry#Jimmy okay. Lizzie has SO many kills under her belt and made it decently far. and Scar has gotten 1st and 2nd before. Did everyone forget.?#Those are two very capable people and Jimmy gets tunnel visioned and clumsy but I believe in him too#They've all been losers before and Jimmy is my loser cringeboy son but good lord some of you have extremely selective memory#blabber

me, 14 and reading the end of mockingjay:
me, 24 and reading the end of the ballad of songbirds and snakes:
#the hunger games#the hunger games: mockingjay#mockingjay#the hunger games: the ballad of songbirds and snakes#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#suzzane collins#no amount of poverty or tragedy could possibly make coriolanus snow into a decent person#i went into the book knowing that it would make him out to be sympathetic and then he would just be The Worst™#but he really really really REALLY is just The Fucking Worst™#spoiler! the man just up and stole his friends parents! the friend that he got KILLED!#also the way that she was always referred to at lucy gray/lucy gray baird was very telling#he never called her lucy. just lucy. it was always lucy gray#even in their last scene together he was calling out for lucy gray not lucy#idk something something he doesnt see her as herself he sees her as an idea a tribute on a pedestal she has to think the same way as him#and when she doesnt he gets angry she has to love him only and when she admits to having a lover before him he gets angry#he gets angry and she has to apologise he gets angry and its always her fault she's the backwards thinker and he's far above her#idk his superiority complex was so intriguing especially since i think lucy was playing him and the capital like a fucking fiddle#nearly everything she said was too perfect for her to actually think like that#and when she said something wrong she would sooth him over#both manipulators in their own way and for completely different reasons#his was for superiority and her's was for survival

Something I realized (which was obvious to me subconsciously) is that... The family that vehemently didn't accept me when I first came out but now do accept me are still the same family that I am most unwilling to be open about things I feel protective over.
I remember that my dad reacted so poorly, not to my coming out, but to my transition specifically that my therapist was the one to ask if I wanted to put it on my file that I wanted nothing to ever be shared with him about my health after I broke down multiple times due to my anxiety that I would never transition. While there are and were protections for me, I was incredibly fearful at the time because I was a minor, and I was so worried that he would have prevented my transition that I couldn't have said for certain what (if any) lengths he would have gone to to prevent that.
He's grown a lot as a person, and made some commendable strides. But he didn't find out from me when I medically transitioned the second I turned eighteen, and I think that's among the things that truly made him realize the scope of the issue.
I'm not here to guilt trip parents, guardians, or other members responsible for the care of the children or teens or young adults in their care.... but this is a cautionary tale. You aren't saving the people in your care when you do this, you simply reinforce an idea that you will never care for them, never want them as they are, would rather them be shoved away.
When you give people reasons to be secretive, they will behave secretively. When you give people reasons to doubt their safety around you, they will become sneaky, defensive, and withdrawn. When you give people reasons to doubt that you value their life, they will believe that you don't care if they live or not.
#queer#lgbt#lgbtq#ally advice#transphobia#transphobia tw#i always feel the need to preface that i have a rebuilt relationship with my dad specifically...#...but that my experiences with them have served to me in many ways to illustrate... well... what NOT to do if you are in his situation#i do still grieve that my relationship with him looks very scarred and that it took a long time to get to where he is now#but i recognize that in many ways this is a product of the world and culture we live in and that he lived in#in a world he grew up gay was used as a slur. would i expect that trans people would be treated better?#and he was responsible for how he reacted but also... it's nuanced as to why he reacted so poorly#and i want people to AVOID being like he did if they EVER want a decent relationship with the other person#i want this to be a cautionary tale and that my ending is unique. not all of us are even ABLE to repair a relationship that was THAT broken#some of us die trying. some of us never get closure. some of us are in active danger because of those reactions#and that's the more common reality i have found. most other queer people have no-contact with families who pulled the shit my dad had...#...and that's - frankly - a good idea in 99.9% of cases. i will never judge someone for the way they go about dealing with that#i'm just emphasizing that i am unique in the sense that i was able to somewhat repair that

Do you think Peter was the inconspicuous marauder that everyone looked over and didn't realise was in the room even before he became an animagus? Plain, bumbling, shy Peter who was actually eavesdropping on everyone and figuring out how to use every bit of info to his advantage.
And then after he could transform into a rat he became an absolute master at gathering Intel and spying for his friends he started to feel useful and talented and appreciated, so much so that he began to think that was all he was good at. His entire sense of self-worth wrapped up in sneaking and spying.
#this is not a sympathy post#but i do wish we got to know more about his story#did he ever truly love his friends?#is he an example of a decent person who makes hideous decisions in wartime?#or was he rotten from the beginning?#was he always a rat?#or did he become a rat due to environment?#animagus' are supposed to be representative of the inner wizard#so im leaning towards always a rat#but rats can be sweet and kind and loving#so where along the way did he start to embody all the negative traits#idk its late and im thinking about the marauders again#mwpp#peter pettigrew

One of the coworkers I actually likes turned out to be a Taylor Swift fan. Another coworker dared him to try and convince me her new album was good.
About 5 minutes into the discussion he ended it with "I don't want to talk to you about Taylor Swift anymore"
#neither he nor the person who dared him knew how much of a hater i am#he's in his mid-40s btw. his excuse for being a taylor swift fan was that he once ordered a record from a different band and got sent one of#hers accidentally. so he listened to it and thought she was pretty decent#pointing out that her music style always changes to match what sells at that point in time is what made him end the convo

I sometimes absolutely hate how my mortal body quivers in terror at the slightest conception that an inconvenience to another has occured at the existence of this body, like- I am ageless and aincent and incomprehensible for mortal minds to witness safely without their minds diminishing into madness and yet this body trembles and thunders like fragile rainclouds over the mere concept that someone might have been a little mad when they have a default expression of rage.
Why doth my body hinder me so and what foul ritual hath trapped me in this feeble flesh?
#eldritchkin#otherkin#alterhuman#horrorkin#therian#anxiety disorder#I AM- WIRED AS FUCK RN#i mean it IS valid tbh cause my boss always seems like hes mad at everyone#and will fire people based on his mood (and other decently valid reasons that he saves for when hes angry)#and so i am- CONSTANTLY TERRIFIED#even despite the fact that im a literal eldirtch monster#when the entity as an anxiety disorder#mild vent#personal#lifeblogging

Alastor acts hostile towards Lucifer because many many decades ago Lilith kept Alastor as a pet and Lucifer would remind Alastor to not fuck with him or his wife if he wants to keep his pelt
Fast forward and Lucifer barely remembers Alastor and this fuels the sinner to throw microaggression upon microaggression at the King, feeding his malice and hatred into verbal abuse and pent-up anger Alastor had for Lucifer since the day he's been humiliated to serve under his boot
and Lucifer can't do shit (physically) to him because Alastor not only protected his daughter, there seems to be a powerful chain attached to Alastor that fills Lucifer with dread
so Lucifer tries to deal with 'it', ignoring Alastor and avoiding him at all cost
but Charlie, bless her idiotic heart, TRIES to get them to do bonding activities together
The fights are usually (always) broken up by her because she's the only one strong enough to rip them apart, hair/fur and feathers altogether
Lucifer did try to apologize but this only pisses Alastor off and resulted in the Overlord going Eldritch Horror on Lucifer's ass
Alastor won't forgive him, he can't. The damage is too great and Lucifer is at a loss, how do you make up for what you did all those years ago?
#Should I call this 'No Forgiveness' or something?#Honestly want to read a fic where Lucifer did some shit he isn't proud of#Like what's with these stories of him being innocent and constantly goofy?#I'm starting to get bored I'm being honest here#appleradio#hazbin hotel#I mostly see this as platonic and slow burn since this is not an easy fix#I'm not the type to write characters making out angrily or 'laugh it off' because... it's kinda cheap and overused#I'm sorry for those who like those things I always get this sad gut-wrenching feeling when I see fics resort to that#I actually want them to work it out or try to#I want them to start very small and climb up to being mutual#Mostly want Lucifer to work his way into being a decent person with Alastor after what he's done#PLEASE

Sometimes I forget I'm an Omega until I randomly get into playing an otome game for fun and a fictional man shows me just one single ounce of respect and kindness and genuine care, and I'm immediately planning a wedding and considering whether I'd be willing to give birth to his kids after all if he REALLY wanted kids and adoption wasn't an option.
#for the record this fictional man of the week is Haku Kusanagi from Tokyo Debunker. he's the first guy the MC properly meets#and possibly the only one who has never been anything but genuinely nice chill and earnestly concerned for MC's safety#at least as far as I've read#he's just. genuinely concerned for MC#understands MCs emotions and struggles and is patient and respectful#but also can be very funny and is always very laid-back and helpful#like yknow. a decent person.#it really doesn't take much to impress me huh#basic respect and genuine care? I'm planning our wedding already /hj#it's one of those unfortunate side effects of trauma. when you're used to being mistreated#things that most people would consider to be bare minimum expectations#instead feel more like... grand gestures#like how could I possibly deserve this kind of kindness and care#bc of being so used to feeling undeserving and unworthy of kindness or care etc#anyway im yapping way too much I need to sleep#gamietxt

myself
#in the life#wolf 359#w359#doug eiffel#u get a cookie if u can guess what parts of each inspiration influence the final design#i always thought of him as like. skinnyfat#hes got weird proportions. like harry du bois ish almost at the start of the show#lanky arms and broad shoulders but a decent belly as well#but like. after mayday hes just even weirder looking#using my own body type as a reference works quite well for it#also if ur looking for where the nose comes from- its from joey. tada!#i love reigens nose so much and it works so well for eiffel#just has that extra ~personality~ that fits him perfectly#the eyes and face shape are similar to mine#his face is narrower though#and my roommate has the ponytail hair and scraggly beard#his hair is straighter than eiffels though#very similar man to our doug actually. just younger and. yknow. uh. less neurotic

#okay so random tag post even though it's been ages#me thinks the current place i work is actually decent a la accepting-queer-ppl so?? miiiiight. consider actually putting my#pronouns in my email signature (which hardly gets used but shh) but like. the actual ones not the society/people assume anyway ones#idk i attended a virtual tech focused event for trans dov (yes early but they didn't want to put the event on sun) and you know when#everyone is just sharing their stories and experiences and it's just like... an overwhelming sense of community? anyway that#and since it was hosted by a professional org the topics were all workplace focused and mayhaps that's something i'm thinking abt for#this year. at least within our pride group I might be ready? wild bc for a long time tumblr has been the only place I feel comfy being 100%#myself. but hearing real people's stories makes me feel like that kind of community would be nice to have elsewhere too#and the whole looking to others also turns around into the leading by example thing bc then we had some breakout groups at the end for#networking which is not my favorite but! i did my intro and said I use she/her for work but will use she/they for this group and#then the next person said he/him at work but for this group he/they so that made me wonder if it was bc of me saying so first?#which if it was is kind of like oh. the way I'm looking for those people for me.. I can also be that for someone else#anyway this sounds dumb typed out but irl/professional me has always separated out queer identity so it's new to me#i'm allowed to be giddy okay. just a little. as a treat (is tumblr still using 'as a treat' i really hope so)#oh shit is this what gender euphoria feels like#alright that's it for now i think#gah emotions and whatnot#missed you all btw i'll start actually being online again soon#personal

Begging you all to watch the show without the m•rthur lens, because all sense of who these characters even are has been lost here.
#bbc merlin#merlin meta#tag meta#my meta#fandom critical#arthur critical#woobify much?#you will all just see whatever you wanna see huh. even if it is this disturbing. even if it is this dehumanizing. and all of it romanticized#also arthur doesn’t trust too much. or else maybe he’d legalize magic 🤪 his trust clearly doesn’t extend to the people he’s oppressing#arthur’s problem is nepotism! his problem is that he always trusts what is most comfortable for him to believe!#and most of the time he only looks as far as he is affected on a personal level!#he cares if someone /shows/ him the effects but it’s as gwen says… he shouldn’t need someone to hold his hand through being a decent person.#he’s not a child. and as prince he is supposed to have an even greater responsibility in this area.#anyways arthur has absolutely disagreed with people he trusts and stood his ground when he thinks it’s right. he has a mind of his own.#if he believed that his actions were truly wrong then he simply wouldn’t do them. we have seen this in action.#and this isn’t even touching on the merlin side of things. merlin did not cause arthur’s death.#you can scream it all you want but arthur’s bigotry is his alone. he chooses to lean into it again and again. arthur always has a choice.#it’s not that merlin didn’t ‘do enough’ to ‘fix’ him. wiping clean any accountability for arthur and putting it all on merlin’s shoulders#simply because merlin is one of those oppressed people and so ‘knows better’ (arthur already knows that magic isn’t inherently harmful-#-he chooses to believe that it corrupts people because it’s an easier guilt-free explanation)#…blaming merlin for arthur’s preference towards anti-magic sentiment is sick. arthur and merlin are their own individual people.#merlin is loyal to arthur because he sees his potential for the goodness that will unite albion and give his people a future.#arthur is his only hope. he’s battling tooth and nail with all these prophecies. ffs.#you cannot understand this series or these characters or their relationship dynamics in any way that matters#without first recognizing them as individuals and as people. people with different values motives approaches etc.#also the fact merlin is arthur’s servant and ‘happy’ to deal with his classism is inextricable from this#tw eye sore#tw hypnosis#tw unreality#tw delusion bait

Btw in all the chat about Dot & Bubble and racism has anyone like. acknowledged that it's kinda weird that in the series featuring the first ever Doctor of colour we have seen uhhhhh:
3 specials in which the new Black doctor appears at the end of the last one for like 5 minutes after being replaced with a previous (white) Doctor for the big event episodes (a thing that has never happened before)
3 regular episodes
Episode in which the Doctor is mostly tangential to the plot except as a bomb
2 extremely Doctor-lite episodes, which are a common feature of Doctor Who but are pretty much never stacked back to back
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT. I like all these things:
Russell T Davies' work on Doctor Who
Ncuti Gatwa's fucking masterful acting
Doctor-lite and companion-centric episodes (which honestly are some of the best New Who episodes. Turn Left? Human Nature?)
but. it is notable that this series - which I would consider so far to be 9 episodes in which Ncuti Gatwa has had a reasonable cut of screentime in like... MAYBE 4? - is a) by far the least Doctor-focused episode ratio that I've ever seen, b) the only one where an actor's actual onscreen regeneration has been pushed back by the return of an old actor, and is c) COINCIDENTALLY the first ever season starring a Black Doctor 🤔
(because like. this could be a coincidence. there are often Doctor-light episodes to give the actor a break, for plot reasons, etc)
(buuuuut. two in a row? and they're both genuine Doctor-light episodes, ie one which is Turn Left style where the Doctor only appears to bookend the episode and is otherwise taken out of the universe, and one which is Blink or Love and Monsters style where the Doctor only appears in brief bursts, on screen, through the episode, with one monologue near the end, while we follow another character around for the bulk of the time. I can't think of many series of New Who with 2 Doctor-lite episodes, especially not in the first half of a season. In Davies' original run there were what, 4 Doctor-lite episodes in 5 years (and that's IF you count Fathers Day which I kinda don't)? and we've had half that many in one season, back to back, only 4 episodes after we DIDN'T SEE THE NEW ACTOR FOR ALMOST 3 FULL SPECIALS?)
(and I do know that Gatwa had shooting commitments with Sex Education but the thing is. back to back in the first 5 episodes???? it's not a good look! it's just not! you don't have to shoot in series order, you can literally space them across the series if you need to work with his shooting schedule! like I am sure it's not intentional but COME ON.)
#red said#i have been SO HYPE FOR NCUTI GATWA and he is doing SUCH A GOOD JOB when he's on screen#i never expected to be the person saying 'i want more doctor-centric episodes' i have always felt that the show shouldn't revolve around hi#it is BETTER and STRONGER for episodes to largely focus on the less Time Lordy characters. a thing Davies has always done well.#buuuuut also like. kinda 6 (or 9) episodes into this season#i feel like i know a decent amount about Ruby but i really don't have much sense of the Doctor except in snippets#and i kinda just. want more.#and honestly i have been waiting SO LONG for them to cast a British actor of colour as the Doctor#and the whole stopoff with David Tennant kind of left a bad taste in my mouth because of that#fairly or unfairly like yeah you WILL get a Black Doctor but first we have to stop for the nostalgia tour of when the Doctor was a white ma#and i didn't dislike those specials. but i didn't like them enough for it to not feel like putting off Ncuti Gatwa to stay in the#'remember when Doctor Who was popular' zone#and so to follow that wait up so quickly with 2 back to back Doctor-lite episodes is. ok man it's sus.

I don't want to imply only Arya antis think she'll go to the Riverlands first lol I'm pretty sure us Arya stans came up with the theory she'll reunite with Lady Stoneheart and give her the gift of mercy in the first place. Unfortunately though there are a lot of people whose speculation for Arya starts and ends at her killing people and disappearing off the face of the earth or realizing "revenge is bad" and then doing absolutely nothing afterwards. Though one thing I've seen very common with Arya antis is the idea that she'll effectually never reunite with any of her family members or identify as Arya going forward, either staying in the shadows or dying nameless or faceless without anyone recognizing her. That's a bit that worries me somewhat with her returning to the Riverlands first thing. Most Arya fans do expect her to be crowned by Lady Stoneheart and lead the BWB and Nymeria's pack up north but a lot of speculation from non-Arya fans ends up similar to Arya's reunion with Sansa and Bran in season 7; out of the loop, out of place, her journey treated as boring compared to the others, underwhelming reunions, conveniently out of the picture long enough so she can't ruin relationships that otherwise wouldn't happen with her present, secondary to Sansa.
One thing I think gets overlooked is how close Braavos is to Westeros. I've seen a lot of people act like Sansa in the Vale is a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Wall while treating Braavos like it's as far away as Meereen but they're actually about the same distance away. Braavos does appear to be perfectly placed if his original intent was for Arya to end up somewhere in the North, whether at the Wall, White Harbor, or even Hardhome.
But mostly I reject the idea that Arya will end up secondary to her brothers if she goes North. I have faith in GRRM loving Arya too much to ever treat her the way the show did in seasons 7 and 8. I think she has a role to play in the North considering how much of the Northern plots in ADWD are tied together with the "Arya"-Ramsay marriage and Jeyne. Stansas ASOIAF fans really believe that Jeyne will have absolutely no intersection with the person she's impersonating despite GRRM spelling it out that she's almost guaranteed to sail to Braavos for safety. It makes absolutely no sense to believe Jeyne would go to Braavos and never even encounter Arya. We also know GRRM intended for the Stark direwolves to go against Ramsay's hounds at some point in the future of which there's about nine named ones so far. Sounds like Ramsay will find out what wolves to do dogs ;) That may be enough to overwhelm Ghost or Shaggydog even if together but even a fraction of Nymeria's pack going north with her could handle them. I also refuse to believe Lady Stoneheart will die again before encountering a resurrected Jon. There's been rumors she and her men have been seen disappearing into the Neck which did lead to in book speculation the BWB has some contact with the Crannogmen. Arya can also be a bridge between Bran and Jon if GRRM keeps the estrangement between them.
And I really want Roose to find out he was in fact careless with a prize of great worth by not realizing he had the real Arya Stark under his nose in Harrenhal as his cupbearer lol. It'd be a shame if he died before finding out. But I do agree that she could go to either location and GRRM could make it work. I seem to remember jokes about GRRM being stuck because there are too many locations he wants her to be in lol.
I didn't think you were implying that, I just wanted to clarify that there were valid reasons for her heading to the riverlands and that I agree that some people only theorize that because they view the North as the most important location so they ignore her connections to it. I agree with a lot of your points and it's very frustrating that Arya's arc gets reduced so much because people refuse to see her as an important character. A majority of the theories surrounding her are the barest bones and people only expect her to leave the faceless men, kill [x] character, and then fuck off in a boat while her siblings (i.e. Sansa) carry the bulk of the Northern plot. The reality is that Arya's arc is difficult to predict because she has so many plot setups. There is an entire arc in Braavos waiting to play out, she has connections to the Northern plot, and she has plenty to do in the Riverlands. Arya is one of George's favorite characters and he's spent a lot of time developing her for a reason, so safe to say that whatever route he ends up taking it's going to be well-written and respectful to her character.
#ask#anon#arya stark#asoiaf#now me personally I do think there's a decent chance she goes North especially if she ends up meeting Jeyne in Braavos#she's going to be discovering that her identity was used to hold the North and of Jon's death which will most likely be her main motivation#for leaving Braavos which logically means she'll be trying to make it back North to Winterfell/the Wall#she could get knocked off course and that could lead her to go to the Riverlands that way#but either way she has plot connections to the North of her own and she would've have to take a backseat to her brothers#especially considering they're both currently dealing with their own arcs (well....Bran is anyways lol)#Rickon isn't a POV character so while I do think he's going to be important I don't see him as an obstacle to Arya being there#the beauty of George's writing is that characters aren't pushed to the side to make plots work the story plays out as it's intended to#so if George intends Arya to go North it's because there's room for her and she has her own role to play there#As always I think it's more likely she goes to the riverlands assuming we only have 2 books left because I believe the Long Night will#filter from the North to the South and the bulk of the battle is going to talk place there#and we don't really have time for Arya to got North -> South -> North but I'm always going to highlight her connections to the Northern plo

I'm not sure how to put this exactly, but. In some episodes, we really get to see Stan show some qualities, we get to see why Dorothy still had some good times with him, and that makes the whole 38-year-marriage-turned-bitter-divorce worse to me. Because it means he had it in him to be a good person and a good husband all that time and he just didn't choose to be.
#once again thinking about dorothy's marriage. it truly is my roman empire#this thought was sparked by watching s4e10: stan takes a wife#and he is genuinely not that bad in that episode! he's cheap and wears a girdle#but he's also supportive of dorothy. sweet. he helps her get much needed information on sophia. (though he did get her favorite food wrong)#and his fiancée seems to genuinely love him so he can't be that bad to her#but then this is the same man that made 38 years of dorothy's life horrible#cheated on her all throughout their marriage#insults her often and happily#left her for a young girl without even having the decency to tell her in person#and it's just. if he was horrid all the time it would be one thing#but *some* times he actually behaves like a decent person. so he knows how to do it!#he just doesn't think it was worth it to be that person for dorothy#and that feels so much worse to me#anyway. kudos to blanche and rose for stopping dorothy from making the biggest mistake of her life in the most hilarious possible way#they were a pleasure to watch#(this is also why the s6 plot where dorothy almost marries him again was always so strange to me?? like. i don't think they'd let her)#(or they'd at least try to convince her otherwise)#the golden girls
