I was just holding a one month old kitten, and I am now imagining Satan holding some really, really young kitten.

His hands that he (mostly) uses to destroy, cradling the kitten close as it falls to sleep in his arms, head lolling to the side as a little button nose and closed eyes stare back up at him. Looking around for the kittens mom, because he knows he won’t be able to keep it, almost sobbing mentally at the idea of letting such a little thing go, especially when it’s mom isn’t near. Satan knows, knows he could bring it to the shelter—

Find someone who wants a cat, but he can’t bear the thought of it as he holds such a little life, mewing when he walks around; Still searching for whatever cat gave birth to it. Maybe he will, maybe he won’t, but he knows he can’t have it for himself, even if it’s small and needs a home.

:P

Marta: "Tell me that this makes sense"

Fina: "yes, we made the correct decision"

NO, IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, F**K THE FU**ING F**K.

I AM NOT ABLE TO SWEAR LIKE I'D DO IN ITALIAN BUT YOU HAVE TO STOP ALL THIS MARRIAGE INSANITY.

Marta doesn't like it, Fina doesn't like it. Go at the end of the world, go far from all of these disgusting people.

Go and be happy the two of you.

Today's episode hurts like..I don't even know, when Jaime came back it was different, he was already there, it wasn't a chisen situation.

This is going voluntarily and directly into the lion's mouth (I don't know if it's something that in english makes sense but with today's frustration a language that's not my own it's not easy to handle!)

Anyway I want to hope that the wedding won't happen. But I am scared about everything and everyone around Marta and Fina right now. Even from Mafin themself, they need to talk sincerly, not thinking about what the others - maybe - want to hear.

ivantill ruining my life. what if till gave that flower crown to ivan on purpose because he wanted to reach out and be friends with him only for ivan to destroy them because he knows that the flowers are cameras?? but to till, it was a loud and blatant rejection of his friendship, of his reaching out first oh mygod and then he reacted the only way he knew how and started a fight with ivan. what if its the reason he started distancing himself from ivan (and by extension mizi, for fear of being rejected the same wayurhvsh), and ivan not understanding the distance started doing anything to get his attention again i am sick???!

quite contrary to what ivan thought what an unreliable narrator that'd make him lmfao

idk if i made sense bc i legitimately just woke up and had Thoughts(⁠ ⁠･ั⁠﹏⁠･ั⁠)

hey do you know charlie from the pim halloween bump. thinking about him today.

would you read a fic about him i’m being so serious rn

[helenaeaganpremiumpr]

Lots of discussions about what Helena does for the company afoot so I was thinking thoughts.For a billion dollar corporation like Lumon the ceo-in-waiting position is supposed to be a big deal.I imagine Helena should have a lot to do for preparing to take over.But instead she’s forced to be severed by Jame where she has no memory of 8 hours a day?Also let’s say she gets severed to appease her father and agrees to be the public spectacle but that didn’t seem to give her any leverage in the company.

Then again the board/Jame valuing Helena’s life so little that they’d send her down to severed floor again after two attempts on her life has been made doesn’t make any sense unless she’s always disposable.But if she’s replaceable what made Jame choose her and keep her as his heir?Specially when he said he doesn’t like her and hasn’t for a long time?

She doesn’t seem to do anything that a head of security can’t do for the 12hours she’s awake.Getting Cobel and Irving sorted after they have been fired isn’t something a ceo-in-waiting needs to do personally.Checking on Mark makes sense because she has personal motive there.

I guess I am saying is it doesn’t look like she’s making any executive decisions just tying up loose ends.I am sure we are missing context because right now it’s not making any sense.

[hilarioushilarity]

my personal little headcanon is that Simon becomes one of the best pro-bono lawyers in Sweden.

A not insignificant part of the motivation would be something that Wilhelm (ironically) said in S2E5: "You don't understand. August would have the best lawyers in Sweden protecting him…you wouldn't stand a chance." I feel like those words would've lodged themselves in the back of Simon's mind, but that they'd begin to come back to him more and more as time went on, particularly after S3E1 when he comes face to face with August's stepfather - who is considered one of the best lawyers in Sweden.

Admittedly, the main reason why August's stepfather could force an agreement was the fact that a) The Royal Court didn't want to pursue charges against August, and b) August had the very real blackmail material which was Simon's own drug-dealing in S1. However, I also think that even if August didn't have that leverage, Simon would've been in for a very painful time trying to win against August's stepfather and his considerable resources. Without the Royal Court backing Simon, I genuinely don't know if Simon could've made much ground in the legal system - then again, I don't know much about how the Swedish legal system works.

At any rate, with what did play out, I've always felt Simon's character is the kind to have taken that loss and then thought to himself - I never want anyone else to feel so powerless. I never want anyone else to have to simply back down because they don't have access to a lawyer who has the compassion to want to help and the ability to do so. I think this would've galvanised Simon, made him think - hang on, I could be that person.

The question is, of course, whether being a lawyer suits Simon's character. My own feeling is that it would, regardless of whether he goes down the solicitor or barrister route (or any of the many other routes that are available). I think he would actually excel at being a barrister (the lawyer who specialises in presenting arguments in court), because we know he's got the confidence to speak his mind. We also know that he's great at formulating and delivering take-downs that are backed up with logic (Why is it called tax "evasion" but welfare "scam"? It's all right that rich people cheat, but when poor people do it, it's messed up.) Granted, this is when he's sixteen and in a classroom - but I'd argue that it takes guts to speak up like that when you're surrounded by people who actively, vociferously disagree with you. Imagine what he'd be like in about ten years' time, after finishing a university degree and doing a few internships.

Anyway, this got super long, but it's a thought that's been percolating in my mind for the past year or so. Simon Eriksson has what it takes to make an amazing lawyer - but he can just as well go pursue something else. With what we've seen of his character, I don't think anyone can deny that he'd excel at whatever he puts his mind to.

i think we need to talk more about how in daredevil s2, karen is the first person to cross the line around frank's bed in the hospital room. that taped line is small, but it's everything. it's a physical representation of the line that separates the evil (frank) from the good (everyone else). it shows the way everyone separates frank from his emotions and his humanity, it’s the black and white morals everyone else is viewing the situation through, and the way everyone sees him as a monster because of what he's done, regardless of his reasons. everyone except karen. she doesn't care about crossing the line, even when matt is pulling her back.

this can also be read as the reason why karen and matt will never work. because karen is willing to cross that line in order to find the truth, which is where justice lies in her eyes. she doesn't hold herself, or anyone else, to the same exact moral standard matt does, and matt pulling her back is the reason they would have inevitably fallen apart even without the intervention of both frank and elektra. it's important to note that he is not "holding her back" by any means because for the most part they are on the same side and neither are necessarily one hundred percent right or wrong, but they are just fundamentally incompatible because of internal values and moral codes. matt will NEVER cross that line, but karen has and is willing to do it again.

it's also why her and frank are perfectly matched for each other in a way (though, they will never work out because of the thousand and one other circumstances holding them apart, but that's a completely different set of issues) because even though frank is in the wrong for killing all those people and karen doesn't agree with his methods, shit, she understands them. she's killed people, not for the same reasons at all, but she has. she's killed, and she's willing to go to any lengths to find truth and justice, and she knows that about herself. she sees those parts of herself - the parts she may not like that much - mirrored in frank.

every time Alicent and Rhaenyra are having their church conversations this is all i see

[thevulturesquadron]

I see nothing has changed in the DA fandom in the past 10 years. Fans still like judging one another from the moral high ground of ‘actually your take on the character/ship is problematic’, because Maker forbid we just say ‘it ain’t for me’ and move along.

Somewhere between there and that, they found happiness and love. 💚💙

portland is like a labyrinth itgs so scary its like driving around a steelworks but the whole city youre always under some other shit how do you all live its like a corny dystopia sci fi movie. i kind of like it though but i feel like 75% of the time im in a car in portland im not under the sky im under twelve bridges on top of each other and theres more bridges under that. like so much metal everywhere. is this my personal neurosis or do you agree and if so are you used to it

Portland is 100% better when you are walking/biking/taking public transit. At least on the west side cars are hell. Also I love how industrial parts of Portland are personally - abandoned giant factories are awesome and so are all the industrial era buildings downtown. Also the east side is nothing like how are u describing but I think most (non portalnd) people only associate Portland with the west side

one thing about annie that i love is that in most of her official arts with armin, she is wearing pink/more girly and feminine things — because armin treats her and allows her to feel not like a weapon but a woman, and no one had treated her like that before him. and with armin, she can express that girly side of herself and enjoy things like pinks and purples, flowers, and styling her hair because armin allows her to feel like it’s okay to enjoy those things now 🫶💞🥹

Writing my own Wind fics because I’ve read every fic under the Wind Tag is another type of pain—I haven’t written a fic in over four years please save me from myself.

[alivingtypo]

the cool thing about 911 is that it was built like a queerbait while also having queer characters from the beginning. i love hen sm and love that her sexuality wasnt some bombshell but was clear from day one. but here me out. the buddie of it all felt like a queerbait for so long so a fandom built up with really good fanfiction (shows with queerbaits always end up having the best fic) and just so much angst but now half of that popular ship is canonically queer and the show has kinda backed itself into a corner where (to me) buddie has to go canon (seriously there is no other way for it to go without feeling inauthentic) this weird weewoo show was like here is some queer rep but also here is a queerbait and we all just hung on and fought for long enough for it to basically no long be a queerbait (??) i feel like im not making any sense i am just excited for s8 and the potential of queer eddie (give me demi!eddie you cowards)
