#I brought this up on twitter

Imagine if Jay ended up terrified of water after he nearly drowned?

The beginning of Crystallized would been so much different if Jay was scared of water lol

Jay and Nya's interactions would definitely be so different afterwards cuz everytime he sees Nya using her powers hes just reminded of the time he almost drowned-

And it would make him so angry cuz he doesn't want to be afraid! He loves Nya, every single aspect of her!

So why, can't he handle being around her without flinching or shaking? Without imagining the cold, ice cold water as it attempted to sap his life away?

Without remembering those long agonizing hours he lay there struggling to breath as pain coursed through his body. His lungs hurting and burning so badly he thought they would explode.

Of all the things the ninjas have been through and come out of fine, him drowing is what's causing this mental collapse?! This-this irrational fear?!

There's no reason to be afraid of Nya! She would never hurt him and he knows this! She wasn't even the cause of him drowning so why...?

He wants nothing more than to hold her, to hug her, to tell her he's sorry everytime he sees flashes of hurt go across her face when he flinches from her attempted touches.

But he can't

And that hurts more than his near death could ever.

Phil: [Echoing voice] One of the OGs!

TTS: Keep going with your Spanish lessons, you're doing great and the hispanic crows appreciate that so much!

Phil: Thanks mate. Yeah I started it like, I mean– [Leans over to check something] I think I'm on like a 300+ streak now, but I started it like, around abouts the time that like, Big Q was doing his Spanish streams and stuff. I just would listen to his Spanish streams in the background, and just like, try and figure out what he was saying, 'cuz like– I was trying to think, "Well, if he says– if he's- if he's playing Minecraft, I can kind of like, understand a little bit of what he's saying." And then he was doing stuff like Karmaland and all that stuff, right, and I was like, "I think he said 'Fck you, my- it's my TNT.' Did he say- no–" and then I was like, "Did he say this?" [Laughs]

Phil: I was just basically have it as just noise in the background. [Laughs] I kind of like, understood it- what- what it was when he was like, saying things like, "No way!" or like "I'm the best!" things like that, like... Like, I would get– I would understand kind of what he was saying when he was poppin' off, and I just– yeah.

Phil: It was just like, good to have in the background. It was just something to listen to, and just kind of like... you know, hear it more? I guess? Without, you know, watching a television show. Big Q was my TV show.

still dont see how so many people say that dawntrail is poorly written in comparison to other expansions like. what, did you realize you had to learn about a new culture and immediately not care anymore lmao? you've done it before, was this one not white enough for you?

genuinely i think more people should do side quests during msq so idk you can form a heart about the characters you're interacting with if you struggle with that and understand the land better so when impactful shit happens your illiterate ass can actually read and have empathy. theres no excuse for this.

if you can't handle storybuilding and character introductions from the expansion that feels like stormblood and shadowbringers had passionate gay sex that got one of them pregnant and birthed a beautiful daughter they both love and care about then idk what to tell you, maybe youre just lame and can't read. best of luck with that.

do you think, when kota and kenny are back and healthy to compete together, that aew is still gonna skirt around calling them the “golden lovers” or do you think they’ll actually suck it up and say it for once and not have to depend on someone on commentary saying it offhandedly?

bc idk if i can stomach another moment of them not even bothering to say it and then going out of their way to say shit like “golden jets” when kota ibushi is literally THE GOLDEN ASPECT of the golden lovers or golden elite teams. there was like zero reason for them to not even outwardly mention the golden lovers tag team. nigel did it like once on commentary (thank u, king).

i swear grian and scar are as crazy about each other as we are

i'm watching scott's most recent escape room video and i saw the void room and thought "huh, that's a grian thing to do" and then scars doing stuff, i expected him to call the button room a grian room but he saves his grian mention for the void room where he says "oh not the void. I've been in the void before. this is when grian appears and says- does something to me." does what to you? 🤨

but it isn't just scar that does this cause i stumbled across an old mcc vod and grian said "every alley in my mind leads to those aliens like scar with Disneyland" and scar was on an entirely different team or may not have been in that event at all (grian and scar in MCC is a whole thing, don't get me started on how grian wasn't playing in MCC 20 but dropped into scar's teams call just to gong them and got put on a team with scar both mccs after that) and will say things like "batman is my starwars"

they both just bring each other up when they're not around and it drives me nuts /pos

[gael-garcia]

okay but, that's the dream

(Bela Tarr reflecting on film.factory, which went bankrupt after 3 years)

[kittykatninja321]

controversially I do think that the under the red hood comic ending is a solid answer to “how do you get Batman to kill someone without breaking him as a character”

[pcktknife]

wanting to be all over kirikos feet is socially acceptable but if I say ill drink ventures sweat it's an issue. double standards

That era of my life predates my tumblr one, but I was a very big Leliana fan back in the day. I actually got into a debate in one of my Queer Studies courses back in college because someone brought her up as an example of Bad Queer Rep because she was “crazy”. I nearly started hurling chairs

[bacchuschucklefuck]

this whole thing being abt rage is also really interesting. I feel like it comes up so much in fiction as a motive because it's the one emotion that's unifyingly restless while everything else can be petrifying, and just personally nothing hits like impotent rage for me, esp. with teen characters, esp. with characters whose rage is stoked by Someone Else to further that Someone Else's cause. like you'll have done all that in a bout of passion and when you're done you look around you and nothing has changed. those sentiments don't get quelled by being satisfied. righteousness withdrawal is a horrible thing to intentionally drag someone into, least of all just some kids.

I wonder if in any or all the supernatural experiences Michael went through, he thought back to his special interest favorite show; Immortal and the Restless and reacted with "woahhhhh this [scenario] is just like what happened in the show to my pookie [ Clara ] !!"

For all the reasons I've seen for people to either love or hate James's arc in V8, I've never once seen anyone bring up his semblance. Specifically, I've never seen anyone mention what a disservice it was to have it merely mentioned on Twitter and never once bring it up in any sort of way in the actual show.

I hate information being released on the side and never once being brought up in the canon in any sort of way. It's lazy. It is relying solely on the audience to have seen it and to take your word for it. It's like adapting a book into a show or film but leaving out important details about the world and/or characters, relying on the audience to have read the book first (which a vast majority of them will not have done).

James's semblance, to put it simply, is tunnel-vision. It "strengthens his resolve to carry through with tough decisions", basically cancelling out rational thought and ignoring consequences. This is a major piece of information about James's behavior that is never once brought up, and because of that I can understand why a lot of people didn't like his 180 heel turn into antagonist territory--I didn't either for the longest time, and because of this a part of me still doesn't. While parts of his downfall were done subtly and done well, this particular part of it was not.

"But why would his semblance ever be brought up in conversation?" Good question, one that could be easily answered by the three characters in the cast that definitely should know about James's semblance: Qrow, Ozpin, and Watts. Qrow and Ozpin had been working with James for years, and before that it is implied that Watts and James also worked together for a period of time, getting to know each other fairly well. It makes absolutely no sense for neither of these three to ever once bring up the fact that James's behavior is likely due to his semblance interfering with his ability to make decisions. Hell, I can even imagine Watts being delighted by this; Watts knowing how James's semblance works and how to take advantage of it would definitely benefit Salem.

James Ironwood was such a fascinating character, but the fact that his semblance felt like an afterthought is a major disservice to his arc, in my opinion.
