#I'm sorry about her lol

[vaguely-concerned]

are. are you telling me that if the romanced mage warden dies and alistair is king, he deadass stares greagoir down over her dead body and grants the circle of ferelden its autonomy after ordering it rebuilt somewhere safer. first you have to deliberately leave him behind so he won't die for you and then he does that for you once you're gone, even when you're broken up??? absolute and literal king behaviour of the highest order????? the actions speak louder than words of it all??????? I think I hauve covid

i've been thinking about exactly why people portraying one of the other crew members successfully killing Jimmy as a "for what you did to Anya" kind of thing rubs me the wrong way a bit and it's because like..... this is just another form of taking agency away from Anya, in a way. it's kind of framing her as some meek, shivery woman-thing who's entirely at the mercy of the men around her, either to hurt her or save her.

(i understand these are mostly for wish fulfillment on the audience's behalf because everyone would like to see Jimmy pay for his crimes. whether or not this is the intention of the person writing it isn't really relevant, characterization happens with or without intent. i feel like it misses the point by portraying it as an 'ideal ending'.)

because... Anya is a capable person. she takes things into her own hands when she can. it was partially(?) her idea to get into the cargo,

(before he interrupts her.. remember when she interrupted Curly in the dead pixel segment?)

it was her idea to get the code scanner from the cockpit,

it was her idea to get the medication from behind the foam.

(the chance to do these things herself is not given to her.)

she'd been keeping Curly alive for months in a critical state somehow, her psych evaluations at the start are only so useless because Jimmy refuses to take it/her seriously and Curly is obviously biased when he puts it into his own hands. he's known him a long time, like he said. "I'll just put good for that one."

there's not a lot of material to work with because of how the game is framed, but it's there. we are working with two very biased perspectives and neither one lends Anya what she deserves

there's significant changes in how she speaks post- and pre- crash, and depending on who she happens to be talking to. i recommend re-reading her dialogue, because the difference is drastic

she acts the way she does around Jimmy because he has tangibly done horrible things to her, is actively hostile, and physically could not escape him by any means. she can't take away Curly's agency herself, in my eyes. you have to remember that Especially in the post-crash segments of the game, it's entirely from Jimmy's POV, and he obviously does not (and has never) thought very highly of her or treated her with a shred of respect

i've seen a general idea that she can't bear to hurt other people for any reason, but that doesn't really track to me. this is the real point of the post by the way

it seems based on the parts where she says she struggles to give Curly medication. "It just hurts him so much, I can't stand the noise." "It makes me nauseous."

it's not really the same thing as, say, hurting someone in self defense

this sounds like she did want the gun itself. this never felt worded like someone who would refuse to, at very least, threaten Jimmy with a gun, with violence. if she had been given the agency to make that decision on her own. she wasn't though

she still tries to reclaim some of it even as she's denied it

by the end she's still trying to keep that gun out of his hands

i think some people overly soften her, for similar reasons the game itself is trying to comment on. she's not a tender victim who couldn't cause pain to another out of the softness of her soul, she's a person who's had every last bit of agency ripped from her repeatedly until she couldn't take it anymore. that's the point. that's why framing her that way, "needing" someone to save her, is odd to me

she didn't need Curly to save her, she needed him to take responsibility

she didn't want to escalate things, but she's not an idiot. self defense was absolutely on her mind

but who knows im just saying shit *smiles serenely*

❝ Babe, it's wedding season, and I have at least a dozen dress fittings planned for the both of us to go to. ❞ Gwen, being the daughter of a wealthy billionaire, had constant invitations to all sorts of occasions but weddings happened to be her favorite. She often preached against marriage whenever she was out with her girlfriends, but it was the complete opposite whenever she was with Lincoln. Attending all of these weddings made her realize that she she could probably do a better job herself. Why be an attendee when you could be the star of the show? She wanted to be obnoxious about the engagement ring and plan a wedding that no one could rival. That's why her heart nearly fluttered out of her chest when he hinted towards it. ❝ Someday? I'm sure it will keep the spice alive whenever that someday happens. ❞

Lincoln's words almost made it seem like he was there in that moment. ❝ Yeah— Duh— I told her that jealousy is ugly on her. It's not my fault that her and loverboy are in a fight and fuck cycle. ❞ Gwen isn't one to mince her words. Strangely, this is the nicer version of her thoughts. She didn't necessarily see where Lincoln got his theory from. She had known Declan since she was in diapers. He could hardly harm a fly and always seemed to get on her and Amelia's case whenever they were mean to each other. Picturing the male plotting against someone seemed unreal. Yet, she trusted Lincoln enough to know when it's time to follow his lead, regardless on what she agreed with. ❝ So what you're saying is... We should probably start kissing Declan's ass since he's about to be flinging his d.ick around once he's in charge? ❞ She couldn't stop the smirk that came from her crass way of putting the change in power.

❝ Is there anything that you want to do during my short break from doing things I shouldn't be? ❞ Lincoln questions with a smirk on his face , but at the same time hoping that it wasn't going to be things that he would find himself hating to do. Than again he knew that he would do anything for Gwen even if it was something he didn't exactly get enjoyment out of. How could he ask her not to do something she enjoyed when she wasn't making him quit doing what he enjoyed doing. ❝ I do feel like life would get a bit boring if we were the same type of people. I think it is probably both a blessing and not that we both keep one another on our toes. Are you still going to be feeling the same way if someday I make you my wife? ❞ Lincoln had already got the ring sometime back with his mother since he knew he'd be completely lost trying to find something that Gwen would love. The only issue is that Lincoln never seemed to know when the right time was to pop the question that would change both his and Gwen's life. ❝ Do you think that she was going through something when she was bitching at you for how much time we spend together? ❞ Now that would be a hard pill for Amelia to swallow whenever the male does get the nerve to get on one knee and ask Gwen to marry him. ❝ Believe me baby , this guy really isn't worth wanting to meet. I swear he acts like he has everything figured out when he has no idea that Declan Grey is out to get him and Amelia. If I am wrong then I will admit it but I've seen what happens when someone crosses someone with power which is exactly what Declan is about to get the moment his old man gives him the business. ❞ Part of Lincoln felt like maybe Gwen would understand where he is coming from more than the male that seemed to have enough ego for everyone on earth. ❝ Sure maybe the two were never going to be together but that doesn't change the fact that he obviously cares for her deeply. Love can make a lot of people do fucked up things! ❞

Actual footage of Tony trying to talk to Kelsey this episode:

Now what I personally need is for her to despise him for a while then for them to have some big heart to heart and them to become best friends OKAY I'm very invested in what's become of their dynamic and I'm all here for "Punished" Tony the wet cat that he is I yield the rest of my time thank you.

One of the reasons I want Morpherine to be canon is for tumblrs reaction. I want to see my rarepair trend the way Poolveribe did (it was a rare pair until the movie). I wanna see homophobes getting mad that the most masculine character in the show is a "queer" like he didn't date Hercules in one comic. I wanna see the reactions of the like, 12 Morpherine shippers who shipped them before it was canon and SHIT their pants when they scream about it on tumblr. I want to see the ao3 fics for them increase. I want to see Morph become a more popular character after it.

But, that relies on Disney and Marvel not being homophobic and wanting to torture Logan with the Jean & Scott love triangle for 8 more seasons, so it probably won't happen

"Oh," Bri barely glanced up as she caught a glimpse of the orderly and the giant basket out of the corner of her eyes. "Thanks. You can... you can just leave it there," She motioned over to the table she had dragged into the room from the hospital cafeteria to organize all of Ben's gifts along, despite many a nurse's complaints. Her voice remaining low as to not wake her boyfriend who had finally drifted to sleep up. She would have likely left it at that. A brief and thankful interaction from one vampire to another in the moment to which she'd likely later send a sort of thank you note on Ben's behalf. Only as Gia continued to speak did Bri's mascara stained eyes shoot up. "E-excuse me?" She asked. Her dark eyes narrowing as if to shoot daggers Gia's way as she told her in a low whisper, all the while with her jaw distinctly tense, "Not to worry? I'm sorry not to fucking worry? His leg is gone and, frankly, the last thing I want to hear is some weird reminiscent story about your husband from the war. I don't even know if he's allergic to penicillin!" She exclaimed, only to hush her own voice once more the moment she caught herself getting worked up again. "Just go. Please? In less you have anything to else to say, please just- get the fuck out!"

closed starter for @cantfightmoonlight (Bri) at the hospital.

All night, every night, since Saturday night had Gia spent searching for the missing townspeople. The vampire's hunt for Dhruv merely a means to locate their missing mayor; Meena. One of very few persons still alive Gia cared about. A break from searching while she awaited the digitalization of some old town map's was not time lost, rather optimized opportunities.

"Hello Brielle." A greeting spoken from the doorway of the room, as not to impose upon someone with whom she was only slightly familiar. Behind Gia stood the orderly she'd wrangled into carrying a gift basket half the size of the immortal who gifted it. A token of sympathy, genuinely given, but not without mutual benefit of which she would not quickly disclose.

"A gift for you and yours." With a wave of her hand she gestured behind her. "My husband lost a leg in the war. I imagine he would've made a resilient recovery had the infection not set in. Not a worry now, though! They have penicillin."

If an Arya stan made the headcanon/speculation of Arya ending up Queen in the North and Sansa becoming her seamstress, everyone and their mothers would cry " Biased Arya-stans!!Why do you hate Sansa so much??".

And I would agree that it would be unfair to make Sansa's endgame all about using her skills to serve her sister.

But when Sansa stans make headcanons about Queen in the North Sansa and her sworn sword Arya all those self proclaimed "loving both Stark sisters" and the " neutral" fans go:

lose my mind every time the doctor takes rose's last name in fics. brilliant, amazing, splendid, absolutely perfect.

like, what do you MEAN she'd be the one to change her last name? he doesn't even HAVE a bloody name like us! plus, she's rose tyler. you think he's going to want that to be different? it's the doctor and rose tyler in the tardis (or I suppose whatever they do in pete's world, but that's still the doctor and rose tyler having their new adventure)!!

she's rose tyler and he is whatever-he-wants tyler. end of discussion. the whole pond diabolical should've been clue enough imo

neuvillette's lore is actually insane. we all took one look at him and went "haha dragon🫵" but i significantly underestimated how big of a role he would play. he's the incarnation of the original hydro sovereign. he took back his rule right under the heavenly principles' nose. he's the one handing out hydro visions now (not even because he has to, he doesn't, he just grew so fond of humanity that he chooses to). he gave away the hydro gnosis bc he straight up doesn't need it. he's planning to DETHRONE ALL OF THE ARCHONS (in a few hundred years, when the traveler's not around to see it, so it won't be awkward for them). he's kind and soft-spoken. he's full of vengeful rage. he's a father to hundreds. he found his purpose after feeling lost for 500 years. skirk pulled him aside for a super-secret convo and when he saw us again he immediately spilled the tea. as far as i can tell, he spawned into existence fully formed. no other character can fucking compare
