People have been baffled by Great immediately trusting Thyme over his brother but it makes sense to me (in the context of Thyme's "mission" at least)?
One of the first things we get to see as an audience is Great sitting far away from his family when they're eating dinner. It's a visual symbol in itself - Korn sits with his father, Great isolates himself from them.
Yes, Great seems to be closer to his brother, he clearly trusted him enough to seek him out when he had his first "vision" (or however you want to call them lmao) but Korn immediately dismissed it as Great being high or drunk and didn't take him seriously (I can't exactly fault him for that to be fair but to Great, it was pretty traumatic experience).
Then he meets Thyme at the hospital and sees them having intimate and loving sex. He doesn't see the cold, clinical version of Thyme, not for long anyway. Honestly, I think this vision is the only reason why Great even indulged any of Thyme's awkward flirting in the first place.
Then those following things happen: Thyme saves him, awkwardly flirts with him again. Worries about him and seeks him out and while he's joking about the visions at first he does take Great seriously and talks to his doctor friend immediately. They have a cute date and Great even allows himself to be vulnerable again. He gets visions of them holding hands, gently kissing.
Great is clearly very lonely and there's this person that cares about him in this awkward yet gentle way AND he even has visions of the future confirming that they'll be together in one way or another? What is there not to trust?
In the last week's episode he called Thyme first after his hospital vision, not Korn. He only called Korn after he couldn't reach Thyme which honestly was the first indicator on who he depends on NOW.
Now still people rightfully say "well that's his brother, why trust this man he's known for like a month?".
I think it has everything to do with Korn falling deeper and deeper into the shady part of the family business. Korn is literally moving further away from Great's (and Thyme's) shades of grey to his father's "darkness". Korn IS new to this. He' not comfortable with violence at all though he seems to further lose himself in this task to please his father and Great SEES that.
Korn doesn't have time for him anymore. He doesn't smile. He's doing some unknown business for his father that he can't say anything about. And he tells Great directly, this is important. He can't mess this up. But Great already knows by then what he's talking about. He's talking about holding another person hostage. Pleasing his father is more important to Korn than another person's life.
And Great's been forced by the universe (or maybe his own brain we don't know yet lmao) to actually make THE decision he wants to make. To not let the woman die. To protect Dome. He used his chances to do the right thing. He's witnessed people in his life being capable of killing someone else. People who maybe were a little bit shitty but he never thought they were capable of that.
Now there's this man who saves people for a living, who makes him feel loved, protected and cared for, telling Great that his parents are the reason for his parents dying. Great's parents that mean nothing but pain and loneliness to him. And he sees his brother trying to painfully please his father to the point of completely abandoning his moral compass.
The universe is constantly telling him to trust Thyme. Thyme will bring you love, the feeling you're seeking. Your brother, meanwhile, only tries to become this perfect puppet for their parents.
Great asked Korn to explain what kind of business he's doing. Korn answered him: it's incredibly important and he can't mess up. Great could've made Korn choose between him and his dad's business but he didn't. Yes, he "messed" it up but he didn't force Korn to choose.
Not yet anyway. This will become much more painful when Korn will actually have to choose and either fall deeper into the worst version of himself or try to become the man that Tonkla once idolized and Great once trusted.
#4 minutes#4 minutes the series#i also think people view korn as far too calculating and cunning#i think he's capable of it...he's clearly getting there#but i think a lot of his reactions are genuinely him trying to please his father and being completely overwhelmed and exhausted with#upholding this image of himself#but that's another meta lmao#can't believe i'm writing rambling metas again that's what this show is doing to me

the itoshi brothers through the years ...
#sophie's idle chatter#congrats to blue lock for being the only animanga to have itoshi sae and itoshi rin !!!#haha... aha... ha... a...#excuse the mega long rant in tags i just have a lot to say when it comes to the itoshi bros#crying btw haha <33#they changed some lines from the manga in the snow scene...#“we're half-baked. you and me both.”; the whole “screw that...” spiel ..... ourgh........#and the way there was. no music. just silence in their confrontation scene until the moment where sae decided to cut ties#hahah.............#once again the part that always got me in the manga (and now the anime) was where sae still had light in eyes when talking abt being the#best midfielder with rin the best striker bc they could both still have that dream together only for the light to fade when rin refuted#and said hes not the brother he knew with there being no dream if its not the one theyve had all this time.....#sae more than likely believes that if anyone can become the best in the world its rin but is wasting his talent by looking up to the#big brother who couldnt uphold his promise to be the best striker and instead pushes him to the brink so he could forge his own path#to be a striker in his own right without being his saes shadow even if that means having rin hate him in return bc he has always cared#which ofc doesnt invalidate rins feelings bc he has a right to feel betrayed after dedicating so much time to follow a shared dream#with his brother whom in his eyes stomped on it without remorse and left him to eat shit#neither of them are wrong but they both went abt this in the worst way possible haha... a... ....... i hate them.#also very sick of them to have their relationship progressively be depicted from light and dark like. excuse me while i jump out a window.#i need them to have a sit down and talk in the manga like. a whole 20 chapters at least.#ALSO WHAT WAS THAT ADDITIONAL TIME SEGMENT IM GOING TO THROW UP AGAIN HELLO

TOO FEMME TO BE MASC TOO MASC TO BE FEMME WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DOOOOO 😫😫😫
#before you comment ‘oh you don’t have to be either you know lesbian presentation isn’t a binary!’: yes i fucking know that believe me#yes it’s not a binary. yes i don’t have to be strictly femme and strictly masc. i’m aware of that#believe me. i know ALL about obscuring binaries but that’s a different post#the problem is that it’s still often just boiled down to that distinction#and those are like. so fucking strict when people care to uphold them???#like. femmes are held to a certain ideal of beauty. mascs are held to a certain ideal of behavior. you know???#do i fit the femme ideals? absolutely not i hate trying to wear a lot of femme fashion#do i fit the masc ideals? absolutely not im a goof 24/7 and i hate trying to withhold genuine emotions#i hate trying to be always tough but i hate having to always be sweet and cutesy#anyway my point is: lesbian presentation is not a binary until it’s upheld as one. and if i don’t fit what the fuck do you want me to be???#can we move the fuck on from binaries please???#tldr i hate how femme vs masc has just become woman vs man again in certain spaces it’s fucking horrible what are y’all doing over there#grace being stupid#text post#wlw#lgbtq#lesbian#sapphic

habeas corpus – detective comics #1086
(ID in alt!)
#loved this back up feature so much and seeing that bruce timm shit made me annoyed enough to actually transcribe it#first the way hes depicted as having to stand trial and ARGUE and fight for the rights of using the coin#rather than it just being a compulsion and something he must do before a decision....#like every time. every time when he's 'leaving it up to chance'—thats a time when harvey won. thats a time when harvey fought for the right#to use the coin and make it at least a 50/50 chance instead of 'crawling away until the hard part is done' like two face pushed for#every single time. regardless of the results regardless of knowing theres only a halfway chance of it actually achieving anything#or lessening the damage two face can/will do. every time hes fighting for and still believing in a fair trial and that everyone deserves on#it isnt him being weak. it isnt him avoiding responsibility. its him fighting and forcing and pushing for it as hes internally at war#with himself 24/7. even when two face wins he doesnt give up & continues to fight for what he believes in despite the injustice done to him#the way he tells Judge Janus that it isnt about HIM (himself!) while defending the right of existence to the jury of other societal rejects#the way he gestures to himself only at the very end. he asks the judge does that sound like anyone he knows and janus replies in two faces#voice but harvey keeps going. he keeps fighting for others. but at the end in actually acknowledging two face being part of him#(and by extension harvey being part of two face) and how harvey is fighting just as much to have a place as two face is#(but more within his own mind & upholding his belief system still despite knowing how it continues to fail them) and just FUCK#and two faces snaps! how theres no jurisprudence system above there either ! just no one will admit it!#how harvey knows!!! look what happened to him when he was doing the right thing!#look how many criminals and mob bosses paid their way out! look how the police are corrupt!#but still believing in it and how a system has to be in place despite being a direct victim of it as well and just GOD#I LOVE YOU GOOD HEARTED AND WANTING TO HELP PEOPLE HARVEY DENT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS TO ME !!!!!!!!#taking away how he genuinely wanted to help people and bring wrongs to rights takes away literally everything hes built on#it takes away the entire fucking tragedy of his character (and in many ways it changes how bruce himself operates and believes because#harvey WAS a good man doing everything by the books. he was trying to bring justice in the 'right way' and believed in the system. he was#what people tell bruce he should be and look where it got him. look how the system failed 'even the good ones' because the system itself is#corrupt. it isnt flawed—it was operated to oppress and thats why it cant just be fixed but must be entirely rebuilt and why bruce must#operate outside of it. it also gives more depth because harvey is one of batmans first and biggest failures. he didnt protect him.#he didnt save his parents as a helpless child (as bruce) but he couldn't save his parents as BATMAN.#it wasnt just random chance like his parents tragedy but this was calculated and something bruce didnt stop. its ALWAYS going to eat at#him if he could of prevented it by telling harvey his identity. by doing something different. by being more prepared or somehow#knowing it was going to happen. harvey is the face of tragedy in so many ways that cant fit in these messy rambly tags but its ALLL!!!!!!!#bc harv was (and still is despite it all! despite two face!) a good man!! because he originally was a glimmer of hope to bruce & the city!!

waited the entire day for when they're alone in their bedroom to talk about personal stuff between them. their ass is so dramatic do they even know how married-coded they are
#if i had a nickel for everytime the camera was panned on dean and sam was in the back like he's asking for forgiveness#they do it in a way that's like sam is condemned by the pov itself bc dean doesn't agree with him#i'd have three nickels and that's what i remember off the back of my head#this is gonna be a stretch but listen what if these shots are taken like this not bc they're from dean's pov (obvious answer) but#because they're taken from sam's pov. he knows he's doing the right thing but he's not falling in line with dean#and with sam's later mindworkings he actually sees it as a personal deficiency when they're both not in agreement#like he MUST make them reach the same page one or another or it'll be his greatest failure. he tries so hard to convince dean#but if he still fails he doesn't mind compromising and throwing away his belief just so they'd be in sync again.#(there's exceptions which are just when the matter of conflict involves dean himself. that's when sam just never lets dean have his way)#like the way sam who's towering and all looks small here i know im pulling this out of my ass but i believe it could be a thematic#symbolizing for sam deeming himself less in relation to failing dean which includes upholding ideas different from dean#so unless sam cuts this lapse of synchronization between them short it'd always be viewed as a personal shortcoming on sam's side.#im cooking but they should close the kitchen on me#samdean#spn#sam winchester#dean winchester#wincest#spn meta in tags lmfao#supernatural#mine

wrote up that whole last post bc i got distracted thinking abt the ethical quandry of warhammer and forgot to post the thing i actually wanted to talk about which is that leda's approach to the iconoclast route and empathy is very much akin to a modern day liberal who's trying to go vegan but also fucking just LOVES cheese. like ok its worth it and she's going to put in a concerted effort but ohhhhhh its hard. its so hard. and killing people/eating pre-grated cheese is sooooo easy. and so what if she has a cheat day here and there. its fine. she can pick it up again tomorrow.
#oc: leda#tay plays rogue trader#she also takes a very academic/theoretical approach to ethics because in 40k the entire concept of being nice might as well BE hypothetical#its hard to get a solid foundation of what to strive for. there is no manual to goodness & as a former adeptus mechanicus aspirant she rly#wishes there was lol#ultimately no matter how much she BELIEVES in iconoclast values and strives to uphold them she is still a product of her time and clings to#present REALITY when shit hits the fan lol. regrets it after. but again - the same way a vegan might regret eating dairy lol#secretly a lot of its aesthetics to her. theres a hypocrisy in her kindness because (and god i Need to make a follow up post for this)#she does think she was directly chosen by the emperor to be his prophet and messiah. LOL. DFGJKLFGDJKL#you cannot think shit like that without being a bit of a maniac!!!!!!! and tho she is kind in game#she can switch up pretty much instantaneously if the need actually arises and suddenly reality doesnt subscribe to her ideals#ie cammorragh. void shadows. likely post game nomos era etc.#shes maxxed out the iconoclast branch but my GOD do those two dogmatic points do some heavy lifting when the going gets tough

So, what do we think the HR department of Wayne Enterprises thinks about Brucie Wayne™️?
Sure, sure, the PR department has their work cut out for them, but what about HR?
#bruce wayne#batman#no like seriously what do you think???#i’m torn because it’s like HR is to protect the company’s ass from legal problems and if a company is corrupt then so is HR#but fucking batman is a vigilante and already breaking laws but to catch criminals and uphold justice#so breaking the letter of the law is okay but not the spirit of the law?? idk#because bruce wayne has to have a plan for every eventual scenario and Brucie is part of that#but it’s his own company so does HR ever call him down about his PR escapades?? or has he ever had to hit on someone at work as ‘’cover’’??#or does it function more like HR for companies that do illegal shit like offering bribes or payouts and NDAs??#i can’t imagine having a boss that is sleeping with a different person in every tabloid and going to work and never being hit on#although if he tries his damndest to never be at the fucking company maybe it’s more believable?? or is him being like that an open secret??

complaining about radical feminism bc even though it has a lot of good points, a lot are also very bad part idk what!!!
what the fuck is up with radfems literally seething when they learn that a member of their ideology has a GASPPPPP boyfriend!!! even worse A HUSBAND???? and oh my god can you imagine!!! A CHILD!!!! like what the fuck?? and yes i knowwww its bc blah blah blah inspirations taken from the 4B thing that came out of china and south korea, where the fundamental principles of their feminism is not having any sort of relations with a man nor having any children with one because marriage is a patriarchal institution (when it's a hetero marriage), and giving birth will systematically subjugate a women as mothers ar every handicapped societally and aren't treated fairly.
see im not denying that straight marriage has some dicey elements and that moms get a LOTTTT of shit from society. but why is it that women are shamed for their heterosexuality when it's not something they can control?? like i'm sorry but if a lady wants to marry a dude and have children with him it's literally her choice and if she doesnt thats fine too?? like they start calling her "male-centered" and justify the criticism she's facing which is nuts bc what the fuck do you mean she's male-centered do you hear the words that come out of your mouth?? what the fuck do you mean straight women need to be critical of their attraction to men!!! my brother why are you creating comphet 2.0 but for straight women!!!! this idea that women will be defiled with patriarchy germs if they come into any sort of romantic/sexual contact with a man genuinely feels like the flipside of purity culture but for "feminist" reasons and also it's like the cousin of political lesbianism which is the antithesis of "sexual orientation is uncontrollable".
"participating in male culture" and it's having a boyfriend BE FOR REAL!!! this is such a western concept to me as well bc in many eastern cultures young women have like little to no say when they're faced with the prospect of arranged marriage, and so the fact that you degenerates are complaining about VOLUNTARY marriage in modern societies whereas young girls in other countries don't have that kind of choice is!!! insane!!!! i have so much more to say about this but that's enough for today ig :333
#berry.rambles <3#“male culture” has to be the most insane term to come out of this echo chamber#what the fuck do you mean i participate in male culture and uphold the patriarchy by having GUY FRIENDS!!!#I JUST LIKE MY FRIENDS WHY SHOULD I BE CRITICAL OF THAT YOU WEIRDO!!!#im not male centered im not guy focused im not participating in patriarchal thinking im literally rawdogging life#speaking of purity culture it doesnt help that many girls grow up with 0 relationship freedom bc of religious families#and feel guilty for experiencing attraction to anybody really (usually guys)#and feel ashamed of it and think its filthy to genuinely be attracted to someone instead of simply seeing them as future marriage material#and so to have feminist thinkers say that yes you should be kind of ashamed of your heterosexuality is????#the amount of shit a woman has to do to conform and be fit for the “feminist” role is actually??? so???? annoying.#they (radfems) hear a lesbian used to think that she was into guys and has slept with them then all hell breaks loose.#its either “omg you're free yay” which is a nice reaction ig or its “wow cant believe you were male centered” please define “male centered”#freakazoid#weirdo#!!!!!#anti radical feminism#anti liberal feminism#anti western feminism#yes believe it or not im anti and pro feminism#funny how that works LOL

wyll: it really is a shame that the flaming fist is so corrupted these days :(
jaheira: yeah, "these days". sure. this is totally a new development and not something i wholeheartedly expect from your little mercenary militia.
#bg3#bg3 wyll#bg3 jaheira#i just think it's so funny how he'll comment in the city#that the flaming fists aren't what they used to be#or that he's surprised they aren't in certain areas#and jaheira's like nah kid they take so many bribes#jaheira voice wait you didn't know cops are corrupt#jaheira: not sure if it's sweet or pathetic that you actually believe in upholding the law#and trust that people in power will do it

i'm so glad i don't feel the urge to have to political post on the blog anymore.
#like. if you know me then you know what i believe in#which is. the value of every life.#the importance of providing every person on the planet what they need to live with safety and dignity.#and the necessity of mitigating opposition to that goal and limiting harm to The World#as much as is possible as one person living under the conditions of our current reality#with hope and effort toward making our future reality one where we are increasingly able to care for one another#instead of engaging in an endless competition of profit and imagined division that causes immeasurable suffering and death.#like. from that philosophy i think you can determine my stance on anything that matters.#The Game Of Politics is only important insofar as it impacts actual lives.#and we should all be thinking bigger than that. like. yknow. abolishing borders altogether. dismantling capitalism worldwide.#creating a global society that benefits as many individual human people as possible.#so like. yeah. i'm going to vote. i'm not gonna be happy about it because there is no one on the ballot that actually represents my values.#because fundamentally all politicians are going to enforce and uphold a system that is inherently oppressive and authoritarian#but. there are some politicians who will cause more harm than others.#and their policies will make a difference in many lives.#and i feel personally obligated to try to Lessen The Harm. since there is nothing i can presently do to Eliminate The Harm.#like. idk. we're not gonna vote our way out of the root of the issues. but we can vote our way out of Some Degree of Some issues. like. idk#abortion. deregulation. environmental initiatives. etc. that stuff makes Some Difference to A Lot Of People.#(none of this passes judgment on those who are abstaining from voting for president because of the continuing genocide in palestine.#i do sincerely understand not being able to stomach it. and if the dems lose then it's only their own fault for being spineless fucks)#but like. if i can vote for somebody who IS LESS LIKELY to directly jeopardize the lives of certain groups of marginalized people#then. i'm gonna... do that. while continuing to work toward & believe in a better fairer freer future for everyone.#ANYWAY. that's my ONE political post for the year. steps off my soapbox.#izzy.txt

whenever i bring up my research project to someone who's a bit older and entrenched in the academic spaces i have to hold back from being like "i dont think hormones have anything to do with it to be honest. for example, I have been taking testosterone and-"
#usually this is with older cis women but honestly there were other trans ppl in this space i'm just gonna pull out this ace of cards anyway#quite frankly i dont really believe the whole 'brain chemicals make people do such and such thing' for one. or i take it w/ a massive grain#- of salt#brain imaging scans are incredibly unreliable to begin with. additionally.. it removes agency from people's actions#also i reject bioessentialism as a reasoning for why Men Do That. they are fully aware of what theyre doing#they just decided that the benefits associated with upholding toxic attitudes and subjugation are worth it. they have to want to do better#and i believe in their ability to do so when they see their treatment of others as a bad thing

what a whiplash going to see my 2016 tumblr dash (as linked in that last post) and getting slapped in the face w full blown ace discourse 😭😭😭
#i was an exclusionist too lmao i was so pissed as if hordes of cishet aces were coming to Invade Our Spaces?????? CRINGE#i still have beef w the split attraction model when non-aspec ppl use it ON BI SUBREDDITS CONSTANTLY TO DISCOURAGE ANY SELF-REFLECTION#like telling newly out bi's their internalized homo/biphobia is just an inborn trait that cant be helped so dont bother looking into it :)#thats more of a personal pet peeve than anything though#honestly the whole discourse was so stupid and the fake stories and moral panic coming from it was ridiculous#u kno whats real and can be trusted? peoples own experiences and interpretations of themselves. and that needs to be respected and accepted#i got so fed up w the dehumanizing and circlejerky nature of the exclusionist side. not to mention the victimhood complexes and the#black and white thinking that were being normalized by the entire discourse. and the essentialist thinking and public shaming#identities are not inherently above examination and there needs to be a balance between inclusion and exclusion in any context#bc both have negative and positive sides when applied to any group or identity. it should be approached w common sense#i wanna veer away from any generalizations and approach things on a case by case basis#but when it comes to someones personal identity and their lived experience. thats none of my business whatsoever#no matter what. basic respect is believing ppl when they say who they are. thats the bare minimum of interpersonal acceptance#fighting against that in order to uphold some us vs them dynamic is straight up awful#if you cant respect someone bc you cant personally understand their experience youre stuck on the wrong thing#you shouldnt need to relate to someone in order to treat them w kindness and empathy#if you need to find someone relatable to accept their validity then youre not genuinely someone accepting of differences
