"If the gods become mortal, there will inevitably be at least 20 random dudes claiming to be the mortal incarnation of the Dawnfather at any given time." Yes. And one of them will be Asmodeus.

So you're saying you transitioned to escape the pain of being gender non conforming? Because of external pressure? Because it's simpler living as a "passing" trans woman than a feminine man?

BYE why did eddie jump over the back of couch to run to the kitchen as soon as buck said lunch was ready? that is two episodes in a row with eddie jumping over a hurdle (a couch both times specifically!) to get to buck? eagerly and enthusiastically I might add. even joyfully one might say?

Alina’s reluctance to power didn’t make her humble or virtuous, it just made her cowardly. For Alina, rejecting power doesn’t mean rejecting corruption, it means rejecting a fundamental part of herself. It would have been good for Alina to accept responsibility and rise to the occasion as a hero and leader instead of remaining passive. Trying to generalize all forms of power as inherently corrupting ignores the context of Alina’s reluctance and frames her meekness and passivity as a good thing.

ah yes. a spectrum of my current most relevant obsessions

Isn't it quite interesting that every female character in acotar who was abused/traumatized can only feel empowered by becoming a warrior? 🤔

Feyre gets training from cassian and becomes a warrior, mor trained and becomes a warrior, nesta gets training from cassian and azriel and becomes a warrior, emerie trains and becomes a warrior, gwyn trains and becomes a warrior and Illyrian women are getting training to become warriors. I also see some people wanting Elain to train and become a spy

Funny how the stans are saying the series is feminist when the only depiction of empowerment for women in the series is the girlboss hollywood archetype💀

If you throw ice at the sun, it will melt; if you throw spears, they will burn; and if you throw bricks, they will crumble. The sun is invincible; all that comes before it is consumed.

the ii neg tumblr blog is like my actual personal #1 enemy i cant BELIEVE they followed me over a joke ask i responded to over a year ago (i blocked them and have blocked every account they've remade lmao) just such hateful bullshit looking for ANY excuse to attack this random youtube webseries and the ppl who work on it including MANY STATEMENTS that are just straight up not true. someone could send them an ask like "hey justin is actually homophobic and called me slurs irl i hope they all die in a car crash <3" and they will post it without any questions. no further research cuz it isnt about what's true or actually offering constructive criticism on the writing of the show it's about being hateful and cruel and spreading lies & death threats. some actual famous people dont have accounts as dedicated to attacking them and every aspect of their identity and career as these random ass guys who make a YOUTUBE WEBSERIES do like why are you actively wishing death upon them?? are you insane?

IF YOU DONT LIKE THE SHOW THEN STOP WATCHING IT. DONT ENGAGE? like do you seriously have fucking nothing better to do than spread lies online about literal nobodies with the smallest amount of online influence. for reasons i cannot even fathom. be so fucking serious

Orym snapping back at Dorian with that gut punch was him finally snapping a little. He likes Dorian, a lot. He trusts him, thought he could understand. Ludinus is the danger, any plot of his is the danger.

Dorian’s trauma is very recent, it’s fresh and raw and burns. But Orym’s is old, not quite festering but not quite healed. It’s long burning hot cinders, low and deep and difficult to put out. His trauma is rooted into him and puts him at direct odds with Dorian rn. Bc Dorian thinks, “Maybe Ludinus plan is how I get revenge. How I might make it right. Maybe then I can heal.” But for Orym it’s the opposite, it’s “Maybe Ludinus’ death, the foiling of all his plans. The end of him. That’s how I can finally rest, finally maybe heal, finally have some justice(/revenge). How can I finally put it right, this time I will save my people -the people.” They are pulled apart from each other due to the circumstances of their life, which have already been written. How do they go against,each of them, what is now near their very core?

The only mitigating factor in the rancidity of the IWTV fandom is that it's a (very) rare instance of a fan-favorite show whose key male leads ARE actually as attractive as the fans like to insist. (Usually, it's some extremely ugly white British man whose only notable aesthetic feature is being so skinny he's at risk of falling through steam grates.)
