When i think about how Van Palmer was developed in a lab to get me in a goddamn chokehold.

You got a lesbian. You got a butch lesbian. You got a comedy-prone butch lesbian. You got a comedy-prone, movie-obsessed butch lesbian. You got a comedy-prone, movie-obsessed, haunted-by-a-rough-childhood butch lesbian. You got a comedy-prone, movie-obsessed, haunted-by-a-rough-childhood, hidden-pragmatic-depths butch lesbian.

You put that lesbian in survival hell situations. You put that lesbian in survival hell situations with her girlfriend. You put that lesbian in survival hell situations with her girlfriend as the romantic heart of your show. You put that lesbian in survival hell situations with her girlfriend as the romantic heart of the show AND make them both unkillable.

You put that lesbian in two timelines. You put that lesbian in the storyteller role. You put that lesbian in scars and silver rings. You put that lesbian in a position to explore the darkest side of loving someone. You put that lesbian on my screen, and you cast Liv Hewson. You put that lesbian on my screen, and you cast Lauren Ambrose. I mean. I mean.

Any ONE of these things would have been enough, and yet. Here we are. Watching the unkillable, complex-ass, funny, scary, heartfelt, fireproof lesbian get her face torn off by wolves, commit cannibalism, fall in love, move to fucking Ohio, and come back for more?? And you expect her NOT to move into a penthouse apartment in the very center of my heart? Be serious, dude. Be so serious.

jiang cheng did not kill wei wuxian. like that is a pretty significant thing that did not happen but for some reason people keep stating as fact. and also quite significantly the reason he did not kill him is because he loves him.

jiang cheng's hatred towards wei wuxian is a defense mechanism born from his trauma and anger and fear of abandonment. his hatred is a construct designed to minimise emotional pain. his hatred only exists because it's trying to cancel out the love in order to protect him from rejection and abandonment and the extreme emotional pain that comes with them. there's actually a psychological term for this coping mechanism: it's called splitting. it's a distorted way of thinking that is black and white in nature and often caused by trauma. it means you are unable to hold opposing thoughts and feelings and you see people as either all good or all bad. jiang cheng is incapable of seeing any grey area so he does a very extreme swing from love to hate because he simply cannot process the complexity of his own polarising emotions. he cannot reconcile his love for wei wuxian with the pain wei wuxian has (unintentionally) caused him. he does all of this unconsciously too because splitting is not a conscious decision you make. he does not even realise it's happening.

for years it keeps all those messy and complex and painful feelings jiang cheng has for wei wuxian at bay. splitting is inherently self-destructive but it is considered a coping mechanism for a reason. for a long time it's the only thing that allows jiang cheng to keep going. it isn't until guanyin temple that all those complex emotions that the hastily put together hatred has been trying so hard to cover up come spilling out and jiang cheng starts to acknowledge them. the love and the loss and those gutwrenching feelings of abandonment and rejection and not being good enough. and he says desperately "shouldn't i hate you? can't i hate you?" because he wants so very much to hate him but he's now realising that he never has. because the hate was always just a mask for love and all its painful and contradictory complexities. the fact that acknowledging all of those feelings has him emotionally ruined and sobbing on the temple floor is exactly why the splitting happened in the first place. this is the pain and loss that he was unconsciously trying to protect himself from.

i was bored so i tried to draw a quick doodle of wisp lol (i’m not sure about what pigeons look like)

OH MY GOODNESS HOW DID I MISS THIS HELLOOOO MY DARLING- Shes so derpy, i love her so so much just AHHHH

And pigeons look like such wonky lil guys- so its HARD to get them right. Its actually fascinating since its like the difference between a dog and a wolf in the example of why Huskys are hard to draw because they never developed the "emote" inner eye muscle most dogs have which gives them that thousand yard stare that you find in wolfs.

Its that kinda "uncanny but familiar" between Dogs and Wolfs- and such Pigeons and other birds

The joys of domestication!!!!

Please know that it's not anti feminist to say that a woman (*cough* Helen and Persephone*cough*) who was kidnapped WAS kidnapped and didn't go by choice ❤️

I love her so much.

Otto lines that I'm normal about

- "My entire life I have always considered my accomplishments great, worthy of people's admiration, but time and time again I was denied, laughed at, Bullied! I tried not to care. I persevered. But even at Horizon, it was still never enough!" (S2 ep18, cloak and dagger)

- "I don't need my hand held." (S1 ep17, the Rise of Doc Ock - part 2) (I love this one bc this is the literal moment he starts his villain arc and it sets up the theme of his motives)

- "I have not allowed myself to cry in years...!" (S2 ep15, my own worst enemy)

- "thank you, Norman. And while I know that I am brilliant, I am only nineteen years old." (S1 ep17, the Rise of Doc Ock - part 2)

- (explaining why he goes by "the Octopus") "it is an expression of wry humor; playing off the first syllable of my last name and referencing the number of limbs I now possess." (S1 ep16, the Rise of Doc Ock - part 1)

- (after Spidey called him a genius) "...why do people always say that with such surprise in their voices...?" (S1 ep16, the Rise of Doc Ock - part 1)

- "um... It is my understanding that this kind of social situation requires me to say... 'You are welcome.'" (S2 ep15, My Own Worst Enemy)

- (after flash tackled him with a hug and noogie) "While I find your masculine bonding ceremonies barbaric, I nonetheless have come to appreciate the sentiment they brutishly represent." (S2 ep19, Superior)

- "your lack of injuries give me comfort. I mean-- I am glad you were not hurt." (S2 ep19, Superior)

- (with a smile) "ugh... Save your adulation for later." (S2 ep21, the Cellar)

- "Love is for Starry-eyed dreamers, Mr. Parker. It has nothing to do with science." *Falls head over heels for Anna-Maria in S2* (S1 ep5, a day in the life)

- "because I wa- *massive wince and sigh* ... I myself was incarcerated there last summer... I am afraid there is much you do not know about me." (S2 ep21, The Cellar)(man feels remorse for the first time /hj)

- "I also found that being a hero was not as glamorous or respectable as I had imagined. And yet... It was still strangely worth it." *Clears throat and changes subjects* (S2 ep22, the Road to the Goblin War)

- "the world needs Spider-Man more than it needs me." *Dies* (S2 ep26, Goblin War: Part 4) (this is actually pretty conclusive to his journey BUT I HATE THAT THEY KILLED HIM RAHHHH)

true fans know that the best beatles jukebox musical ever made is not across the universe. it's The Big Time Movie (2012). the beatles themselves made goofy ass, unserious, action-adventure movies about four friends that were in a band together. that is exactly what the big time movie delivered on. dry humor, god awful puns that make even the characters groan, a dastardly villain with a plot to ruin the boys' career (even if indirectly), and a healthy dose of running down streets avoiding teenage girls, because they're a world famous boy band for god's sake. any beatles fan that Hasn't seen The Big Time Movie (2012) is missing out on the greatest beatles tribute in film form.

I just absolutely love how mostly everyone agrees on Pisces Princess Chrissy 🩵👑🐟

…But then I always feel like I have to get out my 12 point PowerPoint presentation to explain myself whenever I mention the date I picked for Eddie’s birthday 😅😆
