I like to think Richie had a small following on twitch and they became concerned when he stopped streaming, searched for him, found the news article about his murder, formed a small internet sleuths club to solve it, then a podcast, and now him, and by extension Ruth and Max, have never been more popular, but, like, with a very select group of people.

okay preemptive media anaylsis of the robin goodbye scene. (paused just as it started)
this scene had to be sanji because of the skypeia flower action, because this arc is about mentally ill people and those that love them and sanji truly does fucking love robin. the reason it hits with sanji specifically is he occupies a level of "not manly" due to his relationships with women and wearing his own heart on his sleeve that he can be nothing but genuine, and there's an assumed naivety to that, (to some degree there is) but robin herself believes him (unlike nami) that isn't the problem here.
robin must face sanji (someone who does not hide his emotions when it comes to her) to face what she's going to do. much like the usopp "i should leave the crew" moment, it's the point of no return coming from a want to punish herself. one of my favourite things about sanji as a character, is his ability to show love in ways that are completely nontraditional for men, and he screams after her. it had to be him because he is emotionally intelligent enough to identify that loss and hurt in ways that any other character (besides nami) wouldn't be able to express in the same way. she must face unconditional love and reject it based on her own belief that she is unlovable.
theres the water river flowing between them and as sanji crosses it its too late
#w7 watch#op#one piece#nico robin#blackleg sanji#by the way sanji saying pirates are false accused of crimes all the time is some casual worldbuilding that goes hard#like its not his emotional intellegence its that combined with the fact hes so easy to read and wears his heart on his sleeve that makes#the scene so painful. he must represent all of their love expressed without any restriction#its one of the best representations of how sanji completely doesnt care about how he seems manly or not when push comes to shove and when#hes under pressure theres no keeping up appearances and hes all heart. which is a good character to juxtapose to robin

Alright, y’all might say I’m dragging it(and rightfully so if I’m being completely honest) but stay with me!!!
A lot of the time when I talk about my fears of the “both sides’ing” of the Piltover and Zaun conflict in season two cause I see Piltover as an oppressive force and Zaun as an oppressed community, I always get pushback. Someone is always like “but there ARE good people on both sides though”! And I’m like, okay, cool. That kinda has nothing to do with what I’m talking about in this moment in time though so???
When I talk about Piltover as an institution that is directly responsible for systematically and systemically destroying the community of Zaun, that is NOT, I repeat, that is NOT an invitation for you to talk about all the “bad things” the characters did/didn’t do. I don’t give a good goddamn about what characters like Silco, Jinx, Vi, or whoever should/shouldn’t have done when I’m talking about their being victimized by Piltover.
Now CAN we talk about all the good/bad/ugly things the characters did? Yes, absolutely! Can we derail conversations about systemic oppression with ideas for AUs when the topic at hand is completely different? Let’s not! Piltover, as an institution, is oppressive. The characters, as individuals, are always going to be impacted by that oppression, whether they realize it or not. “But there are good people on both sides” is like saying “not all men” when we’re talking about systemic violence as a result of life under the patriarchy. The issues are systemic. Stop bringing up individuals when the topic is the systems in place. Please and thank you ☺️
#arcane#my two cents#let’s stop false equivalencies!#we must stay on topic!#say no to intellectual dishonesty

yeah yeah trick weekes says whatever about it not making sense that solas couldnt sneak off THEY FAILED TO CONSIDER that maybe he just is ass at it when he gets invested. much like. the whole fucking rest of the romance where he COMPLETELY fails to resist until the breakup.
anyway.
im personally of the opinion that he's more liable to slip up - fail at sneaking, accidentally reveal details, contradict himself - when he actually makes bonds with people. which is why after trespasser he goes and lives alone in the lighthouse for ten years but i digress.
and i think "that", the bonds tripping him up, should be reflected in his exit from the Inquisition. you're enemies or neutral, yeah he just vanishes. there's nothing to keep him there, nothing to interfere with his plans and intentions. you're (ex)lovers? i think he still would pull back purposefully and probably vanish, but there would be definite hesitation. he would have to force himself to do so, because fuck, he wants to stay. he wants to be close to you. but he also, crucially, knows that you have a dangerous sway over him, so he MUST disengage. if you're friends, it takes him some effort. because he does like you, he doesn't want to do what he has to, it's been so long since he had people who were friends to him, and he doesn't have to force himself away because he's in too deep. he knows you would worry about him. he might not be willing to give anyone the truth - but he would owe you a goodbye, at the very least. especially if you weren't the type to try to convince him to stay.
#solas#solas dragon age#dragon age: inquisition#da:i#solavellan#if you squint#idk. romance has way more volatility to it than friendship and kinship. it tends to blow up and make people more angry and bitter#but i think parting on good terms that are later revealed to have been false terms is a massive gut punch#like ive gone into it before but revallen is not the type to let his friends just. go. without doing something#he's too traumatized. thats why he has his goodbye habit of giving them a kiss laden with a protection spell before letting them go#because he let his wife go without one and she was killed#so he's observant of the signs of someone leaving#he would notice solas's absence immediately and chase him down.#even for goodbyes that are hasty and one sided you will get a kiss - forehead or cheek or hand - and that protection spell#otherwise he cannot sleep at night#and on solas's end - he does not want to admit it but i do think he likes it. he likes having the bonds of friendship and kinship#even if they must be short lived. even if only for a moment. i think he knows he must keep himself apart but he longs for them#and cannot force himself not to#he may not even realize that he's relenting but he does. even if only a little. even if only long enough for a kiss and a fond goodbye

I can see why you voice Azula. Your manipulative and a liar just like her.
You say you have nothing against Zutara but you defend Aang anytime we have valid criticisms of his sexism and racism.
You are highly critical of Maiko and yet you claim to love both Zuko and Mai. If you loved them so much you’d want them to be happy together.
You reblog any Zuko ship that isn’t Maiko. Casually scrolling your blog I have seen you support Zukka, Jinko, Toko, and Zutara but that last one is obviously fake because you also criticize the pirate scene.
Meanwhile you hypocritically support Azula ships like Sokkla, TyZula, and Mailee. You don’t call out Zucest either just like your TERF icon Grey.
Your obvi a Kataang shipper in disguise. Zutarians have been fighting this battle since the beginning. We won’t fall for your Trojan horse.
Azula always lies.
I can see your entire post history behind your eyes. You were born with nothing. And you’ve had to troll, and plagiarize, and drama-post your way to the top.
But true power? The divine right to multi-ship? Is something you’re born with.
Your followers (if indeed you have any) may not know how this is going to turn out.
But I know.
And you know.
Those allegations against Grey Delisle were false. Katy Perry stans made them up because Grey called Katy out on voting for anti-gay politicians.
Whoops. Guess you’re not as informed as you thought.
Don’t flatter yourself.
You were never even a shitposter.
#Lucia says#this is the most unhinged ask I’ve ever gotten#I don’t even know what they’re mad about#Because I don’t take shipping seriously and enjoy multiple ships?#Because I love Aang and defend him against false interpretations?#Because I have been critical of some Zutara tropes#then my support of Zutara must be false?#Because I don’t like Maiko or how it was written that means I don’t like Zuko or Mai?#I never denied I like Kataang. I’m open about it. It’s not a secret. Lmao.#Masterful detective work.#Also you missed Azulaang and TySuki.

odin: "...and so i brought him home from jotunheim and raised him as your brother."
thor: "oh. well that explains why he was so upset."
thor: "and where did you find me?"
#thor brackets twenty eleven close brackets#i don't mean thor's thick i mean the family member he's most attached to is loki so he assumes he must be a foundling too.#obviously this is after his own “I'M A FROST GIANT?!” shock turned out to be a very confusing false alarm.#brodinsons (found-by-the-side-of-the-road family edition <3)

everytime people rush to defend a male (usually accused of abuse) for the character and humanity they projected on him i just marvel at how many grown ass adults genuinely don't consider the fact that men can lie
like men can lie
#men falsely accuse women of falsely accusing#they falsely accuse men too#men lie about having beliefs#every man that has ever had a good belief probably doesn't fully believe it#very few men genuinely believe in the liberation of the oppressed#very few men have any convictions outside of “dicks first” and “male on top” i promise#men will lie about not partaking in things they are very guilty of because they must keep having access

As far as character progression goes, I'd argue that the most important aspect of the RLJ reveal isn't just Jon learning that he isn't Ned's son. The most important part is him learning that he isn't Ned Stark's bastard son. He's spent all his life chasing after Ned's shadow, trying to prove to himself and to the world that he is worthy of being Ned Stark's son, "let them say that Eddard Stark had fathered four sons not three", “he was not a Stark but he could die like one” and all that. He's internalized the shame of being the one stain on honorable Ned Starks' reputation
“But it’s a lie,” Jon insisted. How could they think his father was a traitor, had they all gone mad? Lord Eddard Stark would never dishonor himself … would he? He fathered a bastard, a small voice whispered inside him. Where was the honor in that? And your mother, what of her? He will not even speak her name.
So it's important for him to finally stop chasing after that elusive shadow. It's important for him to understand that Ned's dishonor was a deliberate choice that he made by himself, and it's thus no fault of his own. Once Jon internalizes that, then he can finally move on and ask himself, who am I? What do I want for myself? What can I be in this world, just as I am? So far, he's been unable to do that successfully because he still has an incomplete (and false) understanding of who he is.
#jon snow#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#jon specifically being ned’s bastard cannot be overstated#it heavily colors his outlooks on his own life and how he navigates through the world#like let’s talk about his sex hangups for example#being ned's bastard is so so important to his character arc#ffs whenever he meets someone new it’s always you must be ned stark’s bastard#it’s how he and everyone else understand his role in life so for him to progress as a character we need to ask#what happens when jon is no longer ned stark’s bastard?#what happens when the one thing that drove him to the wall - to seek glory and kickstarted his heroic journey#is proven to be false?#what then?#what does he do then? where does he go then? who does he become then?#I think he will at first be resistant - and it’s been my personal theory that his learning of robb’s will#will coincide with that and that will be the greatest temptation for him#just like with stannis’ offer and how he agonized over it he will try to cling to some form of#-I can still be ned’s son can’t I? look robb legitimized me as such-#yes I think he’ll already be aware of his parentage by the time he learns of the will#but ultimately he will choose to forge his own path in the end just like he chose to remain with the nw#which then doesn’t look good for the kitn prospects I’m ngl 😬#because just like accepting Stannis’ offer meant desecrating his father’s gods#accepting the will while knowing that he has no right over his now cousins would straight up be usurpation regardless of age or skill#and I can see grrm throwing in that moral dilemma for Jon because his arc is full of them#but just as he rejected stannis and ended up as lc then his final rejection will lead to something else that is greater - king of winter 🤭#Just my opinion tho 🙂#tagging#eddard stark#r plus l equals j#As well

✰ ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, GOT THE WRONG INSIDES. ✰
THEO RAEKEN: THE KINTSUGI KID “Real pain is emotional pain. That is the kind of pain that lasts.”
#it’s theo’s false tears of deceit versus these moments of real emotion slipping through. the terror of letting himself feel.#the impossibility of it. and then it’s the dread doctors’ syringe and how carelessly and callously he would give life back and rip it away#doling out both resurrection and murder with this drilled-in emotional distance. perfecting every action to be so necessarily heartless#because bodies were test sites and weapons and /his/ body was an appendage in itself of someone else’s agenda—#versus his own flesh upon gabe’s in this one selfless moment. and how his touch is gentle and light and his hesitance underscores every beat#and how inundating the revelation is—that he’s capable of this. that it's all possible for him.#and how perilous it must be to look forward from that post-hell hinge point and know that the death of the myth he was promised is only the#beginning of his life. and all of this is difficult and painful in ways that are brand new but must (avowedly/somehow/please)#be worth that pain.#theo raeken#flashing gif#tw: blood#twedit#teenwolfedit#teen wolf#fyteenwolf#cody christian#tvedit#fall out boy#so much (for) stardust#there's something so staggering about the fact that theo (in cody's imagination) stays.#he's not much of a pack animal and scott's never going to forgive him and it doesn't matter who forgets because mason won't and#he'sbarelyevenhumanlikeacheapknockoffdotheylookredtoyouithinkyoupushedherandithinkyoulikedit and#he stays.#like. i don’t know how i’m expected to be okay about any of this! i’m undone!! it’s shattering and stunning#and so is the kintsugi kid in the context of like. my insides are copper and i’d kill to make them gold / do you ever get the feeling that#your insides and your outsides don’t really go together? / i wonder at the way that someone can write thousands and thousands of pages about#my insides / it’s about feeling all right and feeling safe in your own skin / on the bright side got the wrong insides !!#and [back to theo] this chorus as a callback to ‘when i’m just the ghost of nothing nothing’ in from now on we are enemies#anyway . will the real hard hard pills to swallow please stand up.

thinking abt how every member of the sdr2 cast feels this pressure to be something they are not
#marzi speaks#EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM. has a role they feel they must fill#even if they do not want to fill that role#and it’s so interesting to see how they all respond to it#who tries their hardest to do as they’re told. who rebels. who uses their false identities to protect themselves#like AUGH it’s so GOOD. such good character writing in sdr2 it makes me crazy
