Thinking about "your weakness is how you always want to be the hero" and how the series returns to this at the end

Li Lianhua hated how he acted as Li Xiangyi and spent years trying to distance himself from it, but ultimately he still fell back into the similar patterns, for all his added experience

His main priority was always to "do the right thing" regardless of how that would impact on those around him. And it *did* impact those around him. From Qiao Wanmian and Shan Gudao as Li Xiangyi to Fang Duobing and Di Feisheng as Li Lianhua

Giving the Styx flower to the emperor so he could use it as leverage to guarantee Fang Duobing and his family's safety. Using the last of his power to save Yun Biqiu. Constantly putting others above himself whilst actively refusing to recognise that his self-sacrificial nature would hurt those he cared about most

And sure, he thinks he's going to die anyway. They're going to be hurt regardless and he can't do anything about that. His odds are low of the Styx flower even working. But ultimately, he refuses to even consider trying. Li Xiangyi has been dead a long time and Li Lianhua is just there to tide things over. What value is the life of a ghost

To the end, he lives and dies a hero. To the end, he refuses to live for himself.

One day, they will reconcile, but that day will come when Vale realizes it wasn't some master plan. Marc was just a kid with only half of his frontal lobe fully developed, acting just like him in his 20s messy and chaotic on the track. What happened at Sepang and Valencia was partly his fault, too. If Vale hadn't made that press conference, calling Marc out and expecting him to crumble like others had, Marc wouldn't have decided to follow him around on the track. The same goes for Valencia. With all the rumors and personal attacks, how could Marc let him win, especially when that person had broken his heart? There are two people responsible for what happened in 2015, and one of them was the older wiser one

Me, having recently got into the TADC fandom: Awww, Kingmaster is such a cute ship, I really like it!

My Brain: Wait, since Kinger is a human and Caine is an AI, and AI usually falls into the same classification as robots, would that then technically make Kinger a Robotfucker?

I don't know, but it's apparently very suspicious warehouse.

@definitelynotdetectivekranz, I think we should call off the search. I just got a call from some dude who needs us to examine a,,, warehouse.

love my irls to death but sometimes it’s like looking into a mystical pool to see me 2 years ago. and sometimes I think ‘if I could give me from 2 years ago some advice I’d know exactly what to say to him’ and then I give said advice to my irls and they go ‘no im not doing that lmao.’ I am trying to help you here. I am trying to help you skip 2 years of incredibly difficult realisations and recovery. and yet they all continue to refuse any help I offer. Well Fine. not my job I guess.

when you find an eah modern au fic of apple moving into raven's apartment and you eagerly read it bc it was also tagged with dexter/raven AND daring/lizzie and its going well, the characters in a modern setting are portrayed so well and its funny and then BAM! only one chapter released and it was last updated in 2015

and also just adding onto that, the recent wave of like armchair diagnosing ppl as npd is sooo annoying. Like its actually a serious condition, you CANNOT diagnose someone as npd with just one story or interaction. Sometimes ppl are not "narcissistic", they're just assholes? It feels like every second story i hear, there's ppl going "thats a narcissistic trait yk :/" and its like just bc its a narcissistic trait doesnt mean they have npd??

yes defintely !! it's so so harmful and i have not seen any other disorder (except maybe aspd?) get as much demonisation and hate as npd has and it is genuinely so heartbreaking bc it is a serious dissociative disorder that does Not inherently make anyone a bad person and yet !! like the term "narcissistic abuse" and also ppl just generally equating [mostly covert] abuse w narcissism is so immensely Harmful .

anyway i think we should bring back calling people mean, assholes, rude, gaslighters, abusers, etc instead of being like "my mother was a narc abuser so all ppl w npd are abusers and will never change!" etc etc bc it does 3 horrible things:

1) implies all people with npd are abusers

2) implies people with npd are not capable of self-improvement just like any other human being

3) offloads the horrible actions of abusers onto a disorder, thereby taking away the responsibility they had/choices they made in the situation and instead blames the (completely inaccurate + harmful!!) perceived invariability/ubiquitous evil of npd symptoms/traits .

"how to spot a narcissist" babe are we birdwatching now for ppl with a dissociative disorder or...???

Orphell's encounter with Lispen at the Tower

Did you ever wonder how Orphell came across Lispen at the Tower that time, or assume he just wondered into the wrong place at the right time by mere coincidence?

I think I finally figured out how this came about.

We see that when Deon informs Orphell of the current situation in the Tower, he's particularly responsive to matters concerning Kielnode.

This is possibly because he feels some loyalty for Kielnode as someone his senior in both being in the Tower and leaving it, and the person who motivated him to take the right course of action.

So it is quite possible that after exiting his room... he specifically went to search for Kielnode.

And how would he go about doing that?

By following the scent of his blood.

We saw back in Ishuella that Orphell seems to have a keen sense of smell, especially where blood in involved, to the degree he is able to pick up on the scent of any blood in the entire area.

Kielnode was clearly greatly injured from his tortures, and Deon's report itself infers this. So Orphell quite possibly followed the smell of his blood to track where he was taken, and by whom.

Following the scent of Kielnode's blood leads Orphell to find the culprit at the end of the trail.

Lispen is presumably on the balcony he flew off of with Kielnode to chain him to the cliffside, which is ultimately where the trail of blood would have ended inside the Tower.

In the end Orphell did manage to use all his skills of deduction and tracking to find the culprit behind it all... too bad it still didn't leave him prepared to confront who he truly was. 🥲
