shoutout to parent-ified eldest kids who never ever ever no matter what take out their pain or trauma or bitterness on their younger siblings (or alternatively actively teach themselves not to even if their relationship with their parents is absolutely broken and it hurts like hell to try because their sibling's isn't) and instead do everything to make sure they never have to go through the same thing or repress their feelings and always have a built-in best friend. and maybe develop a little bit of a mom complex along the way all while doing everything in their power not to become their parents. gotta be one of my favourite genders

[whump-or-whatever]

I just want unlimited whump content with the exact scenarios and tropes I want in the media format I want for the characters I want.

Is that too much to ask?

damn i cant believe we've seen buck start and end two relationships, cheat on his gf, become a sperm donor, get struck by lightning and die, come back to life with temporary math superpowers, deliver his biological child, and discover he was bisexual all before seeing eddie kiss a woman again

carlos watching oscar's onboard and his post-quali interview... and then calling out to him later?

I see people ship their characters with Daedric Princes, or at least simp and/or thirst very hard for them coughNocturnalcough but like what about the Aedra? The Divines? Yeah, no one wants to ship their character with Talos. I understand. But there are other options! Dibella-shaped options! And Stendarr, okay? I like Stendarr. And Arkay. And I know you all love Kyne/Kynareth, don't lie!

its so funny that all minute—the guy who once upon a time hoped to redeem zam—'s team has accomplished is getting him to consider giving up his remaining honor in order to match the level they're playing on ?

“…How could he…?” vs “…How could he…?!”

Something I've been thinking about is how Patrick O'Brian manages so skillfully to write characters whose actions contradict their beliefs, which I think is honestly a big part of why his characters feel so real. Mostly with Stephen and Jack—e.g., and perhaps most notably, Stephen has notably leftist sympathies (honestly I have no idea how to characterize his politics in period terms) who nonetheless becomes very comfortable with his rise to the landed gentry, while Jack is a card-carrying Tory who much of the time sympathizes far more with working class sailors and farmers than with the upper classes—but I'm sure he does it to a lesser degree with some of his minor characters (James Dillon, while perhaps not precisely minor, comes to mind), and I love that he's able to do that, especially the way in which he embeds it in the narrative. We see how they're all unreliable narrators of themselves; we understand how they want to be seen and how that does and doesn't coincide with the reality, but most importantly, this isn't presented as something reprehensible, just as a part of their own humanity. They are not their expectations for themselves, but they don't need to be those expectations to be beloved.

[borealiszero]

'oh oswaldo schneider wouldn't even know him' this 'oh oswaldo schneider didn't even remember which planet he bombed' that SHUT UP. If i can be the last thing my coloniser sees when i killed him i will do it. To see boothill, a man from a planet that IPC calls 'backward and uncivilised' can rise up and kill his coloniser gives me immense energy and im manifesting it

[napping-sapphic]

idk if i’m just THAT tired of feeling awful and dealing with so much life stuff lately but i’ve decided that actually i’m going to like myself and allow myself to have a nice day this time thanks

Cant remember who said this but i saw someone post about how Phineas would be able to survive Jonas dying, but not the other way around, and this is ABSOLUTLY correct and i wanted to elaborate on that.

Lets be perfectly clear here: Phineas is the reason Jonas finally left the trust. Phineas is the crux of his dissilusionment with it. Had the Trust (and Jonas) not abandoned Phineas on Midst presumably to die, i really think Jonas would have just continued to delude himself in his role as Prime Consector, convincing himself that everything he does is 'for the good of the Trust'. But all throughout s2 and 3, we watch Jonas' gut wrench with dread and horror and guilt at every mention of Phineas. Every turning point of Jonas' journey in deprogramming from the Trust is marked with a mention of his guilt over Phineas.

Phineas, meanwhile, is abandoned by the Trust (and Jonas). Hes forced to pilot his own journey of untangling from the Trust, or die trying - if not now, then certainly down the line (i think this is what he was illuding to in his conversation with Jonas. If he hadnt found purpose in escaping midst, hed have died imediatly in the tearor, but beyond that, if he hadnt recieved help from the Mothers as a result of escaping Midst, hed have likely killed himself in the process of trying to break even - a task that is evidently impossible). And he does it. Obviously theres much more he needs to work through, but he set himself on that path.

Jonas needs Phineas. Phineas doesnt need Jonas. I think if Phineas were to die, Jonas would be lost. If Jonas were to die, Phineas could find purpose in continuing to live.
