#I've since changed my mind

[aradiamegido]

when i was younger (like high school era) i read Hannibal and thought it was so romantic that he was willing to kill Clarice's nemesis and take her around the world

Of note in "Bertie Changes His Mind"- just noticed that for all Jeeves's expertise in ~the psychology of the individual~, he actually displays a failure of emotional intelligence at the beginning of the story. He's noticed that Bertie has been moody for the past few days, but attributes it to his having been sick lately, and is surprised by what he thinks is a sudden outburst. He evidently failed to notice any signs of sadness or loneliness building up to it, despite a later scene where he says Bertie's face is easy to read (in this scene Bertie's emotions are intense and pretty easily inferable from context clues, which probably helped).

I feel like this indicates that Jeeves might have trouble reading people's subtler emotions. I doubt he'd be able to derive someone's entire mental state from a minute eyebrow twitch the way that Bertie can. This would support my general theory that Jeeves uses his study of psychology as a crutch to compensate for poor social skills-- he's carefully observed and memorized the way people who are feeling a certain way will react to different stimuli, but he has to know how they're feeling first. Which might be troublesome for him, and somewhere where it would be interesting to see him and Bertie teaming up.

i feel like what rwby is really missing out on in regards to ruby's message to the world is that it didn't really matter that the message was from ruby; that during her travels she didn't meet and help people—like even just one would do—who would see her message and be inspired to help in turn, because that's that girl who chose to help them for no other reason that she could.

to give few examples, i'm going to use known characters imagined in different roles:

think of pyrrha, a rising star in tournament fighting whose life is controlled by managers and sponsors, who wants more from her life, who wants to actually be a huntress and help people, but can't because fighting grimm is considered "too risky" for her career—and then, by happenstance, she meets ruby, who's on her way to deal with some small grimm problem, giving pyrrha the opportunity to sneak out and join her. and she does, gets a taste of a life she wants but seemingly can't have; it's not enough for her to make a change immediately, but it's a spark, one that becomes a flame once the message from ruby is out and pyrrha heads out to vacuo, her management and sponsors be damned.

or think of nora and ren, two orphans living in a small town under a tutelage of a huntsman... who, by the time ruby arrives, has gone missing after tracking a pack of grimm. they all know what that likely means, and ruby agrees to help them in whatever way she can, to get closure, tracking the grimm (taking it as potential practice for her silver eyes, too) and protecting the town until the threat has been dealt with, alongside nora & ren. and then she's off again, towards mistral, but she's made a difference and once her message is live, nora and ren answer the call.

like. . . it works as it is now, i guess, but it lacks that personal touch; that for some of the people who answered the call, it mattered that it was ruby making it, that it was her who inspired them to go on their own journey away from home.

one small kindness in one small moment, or something like that.

I love podcasts, I love not knowing what anyone in this show looks like. Effie and Zebulon are canonically unexpectedly hot and Shell is an ambulatory bush but other than that we're all just imagining totally separate guys, visually speaking.

Very important conferences.

You mentioned you mainly ship Glados/Chell when it comes to Portal? Could I please request something with them, however you personally imagine their dynamic? Sorry for the vague prompt, I'm just curious what your ideas are!

Not me brainstorming ideas for my post op tattoo (context) like I'd contact the tattoo artist tomorrow and not in a 1,5 year or more

This was where my inspiration took me today I guess :'D

y'all can all cancel me (again) for this, but if there's even a SHRED of 'who should I pick?' from Penelope in season 3, I am tuning out SO fast because like. . .sorry not sorry, there IS no choice. Debling is some crusty OC suitor she barely even knows and Colin is a man who she has been so supposedly in love with to the point where she'd ruin her entire family's reputation to have a potential love story with him. Penelope and Colin have background, years of knowing each other, intimacy that few people in the Ton can boast of having (letters, conversations about purpose, fights and arguments and makeups) and her and Debling have. . .a dance or two at a ball because he's a rebound for Penelope's broken heart. he means nothing. he has no nuance, he has no weight to the story, he is such an afterthought to me. either I wanna see Penelope going 'you know what? I don't even LIKE this dude. he's. . .fine, but I don't care about him even a shred as much as I care about Colin' or the INSTANT Colin's like 'you know what? we should get married' if it's not an immediate 'say less, you're already my husband, try returning me without the receipt, Debling whomst?' then I don't want it!

like. . .it's just so frustrating to see all the 'I hope Debling sweeps her off her feet and she rejects Colin's proposal and she makes him work for it and and and-' nonsense from the fandom and it's always tagged and no matter how many times I block it, it just keeps popping up. I go into the Polin tag for POLIN. I don't give a SHIT about a male love interest other than Colin. Not one. Not a shred. Not an iota.

and also. . .Debling has the 'benefit' of not having depth, or character traits, or HISTORY, so peeps can project onto him however they want, but I'm calling it now, there is NOTHING he could do or be that would make me like him more than Colin. Colin will always hit different, and I will always love him more. and if Pen's not on that same page? lol bye

you want me to believe Penelope and Colin are soulmates and it's romance for her to hem and haw about how difficult a decision it is for her to marry a stranger who knows barely anything about her. . .

when Marina was out here dropping banger lines like 'You were the only man with which I could see myself being happy' and 'I do not care about any of these men, where is Colin?'? like hello??? and she wasn't even fully in love with him!!!! but we'll demonize her until the cows come home in our fandom and make her the villain in Polin's love story for DARING to get in between Polin, yet Debling, a white man, is a darling dear perfect prince for getting in between Polin? existing in our fandom solely so Penelope can be like 'lol, Colin ain't shit, let me entertain any and everyone else'?

if that's the direction it goes then, ten toes down and on my mama, she doesn't deserve Colin and she can move because I'm on my way to court him my damn self

and that's that on that
