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 ❤️

Look I recognize that it’s pretty unrealistic to assume every single character on a show is neurodivergent, but have you seen Phineas and Ferb??

what happened to our flag means death is this the same show at all lol

did you see the new pages of mha? touya's canon ending is physically painful, like i knew what was implied originally but it was better to just leave things up to interpretation with him. like in what world does an abuser get a better ending than the abused i hate this i refuse to believe this also the obey me thing makes me even more ill

New pages? Canon ending? Nope, I see NOTHING. I refuse to look. It was added like a half-assed afterthought anyway. I haven’t read it or looked at it myself, but I’ve seen enough on my dash that I don’t really care to.

In all honesty, the entire summary and ending of BNHA is a huge disappointment. I’m not saying there shouldn’t have been consequences for the villains’ actions, they literally killed people. But the fact that they ALL died? That none of them were “redeemable”? And all of the bnha youth having visions and goals of saving their respective villains only to fail in the end?

Like, they’re going for a “well the villains were finally understood and seen in their last moments… so it’s good enough. They still gotta die though.” As if villains aren’t redeemed all the time in fiction. Give me a break.

So I say no. Nope, nope, I’m ignoring whatever bs “canon” they gave us and making up my own ending. Touya lives. He gets fucking therapy because he’s finally in a place where he’s willing to receive help and take responsibility for himself. He’s forced to make amends with the irrevocable harm he’s caused others, and grow beyond his trauma with his family. And he gets to have fucking soba with his brother.

genuinely makes my eye twitch thinking about how if either buck or eddie were a woman they’d be canon by now… sick world we live in

[stayedfortheplot]

The one who's life was in danger: ZYC. Because she would have fucking killed him for taking out her demon.

I love her so much.
