"- 'proshippers' or whatever the fuck you people are calling yourselves now -"

It's. It's still just "proshippers". It's you guys (antis) and the fence-straddlers trying to have their cake and eat it too that keep creating random new phrases to "other" and distance themselves from us. We're here, unchanging, same as ever, in our corner with our silly little stories. We aren't the ones interested in coming up with 500 new labels for people who know that fiction isn't reality.

Well they caught him. If he wasn't the exact kind of person tumblr loves, the conspiracy theories about this being a random person being framed would have continued to spread. But he's an attractive 26 year old white man who was caught carrying a manifesto about corporate America and has an internet history that matches up with tumblr's general politics. So everyone is going to get excited about how he's a martyr and go back to acknowledging reality in that there isn't a conspiracy to frame the wrong guy.

The discussions over whether or not this man should be lionized as a hero are honestly not as relevant as the comfort with which people are going to drop the conspiracy theory they would have been fully committed to if this man's politics turned out to be nuts. The ease with which the userbase of this website switches between realities based on whether or not they confirm their biases is really alarming. I just hope people understand how weird it is to claim a random person is 100% going to be framed by the FBI on one day, and then drop that by the next day when it becomes clear that the person being "framed" is the exact kind of communist you had hoped.

*complaining for no reason again because i am bored* i need more ppl to know that these. are all the same person these are literally canonically all the exact same individual person im begging u

literally almost all the ganondorfs are the exact same individual and almost all the ganons are the exact same individual, almost all the ganondorfs & ganons are the same exact person just in different forms and circumstances. except for FSA and maybe whatever the fuck is going on with TotK ganondorf but i still think it’s weird that he still has golden eyes & rounded ears when even the gerudo in TotK’s ancient past dont, but anyway ashfjsbfjsn

I know tumblr ain’t ready for this one but I genuinely think RvB 1-13 is a very good well written show

Rewatching succession it really is wild to see Kendall and Shiv convince themselves over and over again that they can "fix ATN/Waystar from the inside" only to completely abandon their morals the minute it gives them a strategic advantage.

When they're on the outside it's an endless diatribe about how evil and rotten the company is to its core, but the second they get the slightest whiff of power they suddenly decide the problems are actually really manageable and that with the right leadership it could be a force for good, and like...the saddest part is that they genuinely seem to believe that.

I am really developing an understanding of Veilguard and what it is and what it isn’t and what it tries to be and how it could have done better etc etc through the lens of what permanence means. That thing I said about regret being an emergent property of physical reality. That thing I put in baseless fabric about not unchanging but irreversible. All my dragon age fics will probably be me trying to get a better resolution on that idea. You know. In between the porn

No but the thing that gets me about Glinda is that she’s really the one who ends up alone while singing “the Wicked’s lives are lonely” and I feel like the film does a really good job of conveying this through the opening number. Like even in Ariana’s acting you can see that she’s kind of distant about what’s going on while still trying to put on this politician facade she’s created.

She loses both Elphaba and Fiyero by the end of everything, those two run off together and she doesn’t even know what happened to them. Glinda chooses to be a pawn in someone else’s game for the sake of gaining power and to add to it she’s good at it because the people LOVE her and the figure she’s been made out to be. The seeds are planted very early when we’re shown her interactions with the other students at Shiz. But what does all of it get her in the end? She loses everything and still has to keep playing the game as she thinks about her friend - while throwing a torch onto her effigy

i absolutely love the headcanon that law forgets what corazon’s voice and parts of his facial features besides his smile

one night law looks in the mirror and tries to replicate cora’s makeup just to see if he can. when it came to the eye, he couldn’t remember which side it was on so he picked left. it was only after he finally looks up, he horrifically realizes that it was on the wrong side.

i love madoka magica however i dont think we as a fandom talk enough about how tragic madoka herself is. probably because the narrative itself steers you away from thinking about her personally. shes not a character shes a desire that homura has, shes a force of good, shes homura's foil. but those are all madoka's narrative roles but madoka herself as a person is not really looked at because we are viewing this world from an unreliable narrator(homura) who only sees madoka as those things. The best thing homura could have done for madoka was give up on her, to let her go. because every time we go back in time the image of madoka is distorted, she loses more of herself every regression of homura's as she tries harder and harder to save her. We don't even know what madoka originally wished for to become a magical girl in the original timeline. and she actually acts quite differently than the madoka we meet. shes a lot more honest and caring and bold. by the time homura's has reached the actual anime madoka has been reduced by the sands of time to a figment of herself. she has no wants or desires of her own beyond wanting to do good and help her friends and when all her humanity is stripped away is when she finally acends to godhood because thats all thats left of her. an ideal and a faith in her. madoka kaname died a long time ago and all that is left is her ghost.

people are always ridiculing the idea of exclusively gay people and nonbinary people having *actual conversations* about gender and orientation to work out if they're compatible, as if attraction that is anything less than instinctive, instantaneous and sharply binary makes a mockery of Real Homosexuality. meanwhile cishet people going on multiple full-on *dates* to work out if they're "really into" each other is the most normal thing in the world

Ugh..narrator...

I am getting... so many flashbacks to things I purposely purged my mind of writing about ANVD. I am reminded constantly of the. Uh! The fact that this is exactly as we described the Nightmares - what the Nightmares were covering. And it's revealing more about the logic of them that I never fully pieced together or didn't gather/discover/realise in a general sense back then. I mean. OK. Story of my life is that it's a story following a laid out path, the period of rejection and forgetting about a fucktonne of shit was indeed a necessary period where I was. working. OK. I see
